    People may like them but they are not willing to pay more for them in most cases
  2. Ken at the beach
    Because it is an investment and more costly to do on older ships vs newer ones. If they can't charge a premium then it won't pay for the investment. They have them on all the new ships except Icon, just in smaller qtys than they had on the first few and they stopped adding them to existing ships during drydock

    What Mike was saying is that only the letter has changed. On board it is still the same benefits and you can still ask them to do the same things as you did before.
  4. Ken at the beach
    Exactly my point.
  5. Ken at the beach
    Yes, she was one of the first ships to have them. The question was why the new ships do not. Royal went all in on them for a while even adding them to ships at drydock but subsequently scaled that back. None on Icon, scaled back on Wonder. Utopia and Odyssey. Oasis had a $100 + mil drydock and non added to her.

    Because people were not willing to pay a higher premium for them over a regular inside

    I have faith, by the end of the cruise you'll be fully ambidextrous.
  8. Ken at the beach
    Fingers crossed for the 14th.

    If the price never changed then they should have honored it. Otherwise it was an error or the price changed by the time you called back and it's time o move on.
  10. Ken at the beach
    You know that is not what I was talking about
  11. Ken at the beach
    Fantastic news. had not seen you post in a while and was wondering...
  12. Ken at the beach
    If you are more than 48 hours prior to sailing you can call Royal )or your TA) and have the gratuities removed and they will be refunded
  13. Ken at the beach
    Way to pivot and change the direction away from what you stated earlier.
  14. Ken at the beach
    Great to hear about the charger. I am guessing that Sharon and your friends are giving you a wide berth when walking together.
  15. Ken at the beach
    Posting about what the rules were almost 10 years ago like they are still in effect today does nobody any good. Your post made it seem current which it is not "Wouldn't touch it with a 10 foot pole today since they suspended the dividend back in 2020 and the shareholder discount is still virtually impossible to use."
  16. Ken at the beach
    Not what you said in your first post.
  17. Ken at the beach
    Group rates on cruises cannot be compared to blocks of hotel rooms.
  18. Ken at the beach
    6-9 day sailing it is $100 3-5 is $50 10+ is $300
  19. Ken at the beach
    No, with the exception of the Sky Junior Suite on Icon class
  20. Ken at the beach
    You would have prior to 2020 (2021?) as it was not combinable with pretty much any OBC that you received from Royal
  21. Ken at the beach
    Incorrect, that has changed. No issues with combinability.
  22. Ken at the beach
    In 2020 (maybe 2021) they allowed the shareholders benefit to be combined with pretty much any discount other than TA rates or F&F rates.
  23. Ken at the beach
    He still lives, even in retirement
  24. Ken at the beach
    Windjammer layout is far superior to the first 4 OA class ships.
  25. Ken at the beach
    Correct
