The ship gets to wipe its history clean and bad reviews and ratings technically don't apply.   

EBay, Amazon sellers do something like it all the time.  If a product has good reviews and high ratings the sellers would do everything they can to keep the history.  But if the reviews are no good sellers will try to post it as if it's a new product. 

🤣  They learned it from RCL. 😂

Oh look! All these "positive" here complaining about people asking questions!    🤣

Royal's larger ships have more unique designs and somewhat less crowded even on their worst days.  If you are interested at all, do experience the Oass class at least once.  

That said I have always had a lot of fun on Carnival ships too. 

I prefer to try new things so I would take Breakaway.  Symphony looks gorgeous but it is so overpriced right now.  

I am sure they do.   Whether it means savings for you is another question.   

I keep the DSC intact by default but I certainly wouldn't hesitate removing it if I believe the service doesn't warrant it.   

There will be plenty of "sales" but the prices won't be any lower.

No, never. You have always had to buy a cruise to get it. Hardly "free", right?

 

 

Interesting that what some some see as "cheerleading without questioning" can actually be "cheerleading because the questions have already been asked and answered". Questioning isn't required when you already understand what it going on.

 

Now, as for suckers, the real suckers are the haters that despise the cruise line yet continue to spend their time reading their forums and joining in discussions about the cruise line. Can't seem to let it go...

 

Some people can't grasp the fact not everyone spends all their time on a message board and legal lies like Free at Sea should rightfully to be brought up frequently and loudly to remind people who have questions!

Suckers are the cheerleaders who resent people questioning their cheered subjects but cannot seem to stay away from such threads!  

Cant seem to to let it go indeed!

Seeing as you pay $0 for the FAS item it is free, they call it what it is.

If it were the gratuities would be ZERO!  

Yes, it's a weekly phenom.  Lol   The Royal website becomes even more berserk than usual during weekends.

No the real suckers are those who knoe this type of stuff happens but then don’t read ts&cs

The real suckers know this stuff happens and cheer for it.

Yet it isn’t lying...  it’s all in the terms and conditions of the offer. 

It is lying, corporate America style, legally protected by terms and conditions.

But if you continue to buy after knowing the facts, who's the willing sucker?

The real suckers are those who are cheerleading without questioning. 

Welcome to corporate America marketing, where lying is legal and standard practice.  

If you think this is bad, wait till you check out RCI's non-stopping "sales".   Lmao!

Comic Sans looks absolutely ridiculous on my tablet and I skip all posts in it.  It is not what we call a safe font in cross flatform environment.  It works for Windows and MacOS but not UNIX based OS or iOS.  And more importantly it does not have a graceful fallback font.  

BUT, it is not the users' fault, or even CC's fault.   I blame Invision for including it in its drop down menu.   Of course some people will use it if it's available.   What a dumb decision on Invision's part.  

Crazy experience for sure.   Muster at 2am?    The b2b cruisers are the lucky ones. 

I miss the app!

I miss the app!

I miss the app!!!

Now I have got that off my chest, I will say I like a lot of new features.   Activity stream is pretty neat; uploading pictures is a breeze; quote notification is finally here. 

Still I miss the app!  

Thank you for reading my rant.  

Wait!  Did I mention I miss the app?  

Royal Caribbean, Norwegain, McDonald's, Walmart, all of them corporate America entities aiming to make profits off the masses and none of them a status symbol or deserving of unreciprocated loyalty. 

Your friend is tripping

And just like your restaurant at home, if you insist on eating at primetime when everyone else does, you may have to wait.

Unlike Princess, the restaurant at home does not have traditional time diners jumping over.

What would anyone pay $400 for unlimited WiFi?  Can’t imagine anyone being so important that they need to be on the phone or computer that much.  The first thing we do we we get to cabin is put the phone in airplane mode and put it,in the safe.  12 days later we take it out. 

 

Because they want WiFi?   

Just because you can't imagine doesn't mean they agree.  Just because you put your phone on airplane mode on a ship doesn't mean others have to do it too.  

Wait a minute, Princess allows fixed time dining pax to switch to anytime?  Is that really true?  If that's really the case how stupid can they get?!?!  No wonder it doesn't work.  

I would always choose a ship that I haven't done and in your case Adventure, Horizon, Magic, in that order.

I have been on the sisters of all three and they are all great.

still don't agree because of the overall attitude more than disappointed in a particular port change. Some people roll with the punches, others don't. I guess that is where we differ. I think I will just let this drop. And, as for not liking negatives about my favorite cruise line, of course you are right, but if you paid attention you would know, I have complained about NCL and some of what they have done more than once.

 

 

 

The whole point here is: what they did and all ships do which experienced cruisers know this is certainly not bait and switch. I think I will leave it at that.

The whole point is if cruise line fails to deliver as advertised in big flashy ads, some paying customers will complain! Hopefully loudly and persistently, on CC, on TripAdviser, on FB and on MANY other sites to let other customers know!

Some follow customers, like me, CHOOSE to see the benefit in negative reviews!

But some here who supposedly have a great attitude and are not complainers and can "roll with the punches" all of sudden CHOOSE to complain!

Guess what? Your attitude is not that great - you only "roll with the punches" selectively, with things that don't bothers you enough. You are no different from the complainers you complain about when it comes to things that do bother you!

And those of you who love to wave cruise contracts FAILS to grasp that cruise contracts may protect the company from legal actions but it most certainly does not protect it from complaints and negative reviews! Go back and read your precious cruise contract and tell me where it says that!
