RCI Ripping us off!!!!

[mgg42]

I'm sailing on Oasis on March 13th, and it's NOT cheap. But then I discover, daylight savings time starts that weekend.

 

I'm LOSING an hour of cruise time when we "spring forward"!

 

Everyone on board should be compensated since this cruise is shorter than advertised!:mad:

 

(joking people!)

[Aquahound]

LOL. :D It wouldn't surprise me to read a serious complaint like this. :rolleyes:;)

Book another cruise in the fall so you can get your hour back.

[TEXASMUNK]

This is no joke! Consider: A diamond Plus, cruises once a year, they get conned into cruising every year at the time change. After a quater century, they would lose a whole day!

Consider: One less hour of Windjammer! Do you realize how much money RCI is making off the poor customer by not feeding them for that hour! This borders on theft! RCI should be publicly disgraced!

 

The horror of cruising....yet another example!

[kicker]

You're absolutely right. If I were you I would call RCCL and demand a 0.994 % discount on the cruise (if my math is right), as you're losing 1 of your 168 hours.

[kc320]

I bet RCL raises drink prices for this cruise to make up for the revenu they lose for an hour less of drinking!!!:eek:;)

Your math is right, but I have decided that hour is worth much much more. After all, it's a weekend hour, and it's the first day of the cruise! Is anything more exciting than that first day? And they're CHEATING ME!!!!!!!

[silentbob007]

I've been on about three of those cruises (with a fourth coming up). I'm saving up for an entire day lost, then calling C&A to demand compensation.

OMG, some people are too funny!

[klingoncruiser]

Thanks everyone for starting my Monday off right. :D

Think about it, you book a 7 day cruise (say Saturday to Saturday). You can't BOARD on embarkation day until between 11am and 2pm. That's not what I CALL a "FULL DAY". Then, you disembark the following Saturday between 8am and 11am! THAT'S not a FULL day either!! So your ACTUALLY booking a 5 day cruise...not a 7 day cruise!! :eek:

Now that's my way of thinking. :)

They are 7 NIGHT cruises. You spend 7 nights on the ship not days.

[lady_cruiser]

Maybe you can get your hour back by staying on the ship one extra hour before leaving her.:p

[MrsPete]

Hey, you're joking . . . but we've seriously said to each other that we should book the cruise where we "fall back" so we'd get an extra hour! Our scheduling has never quite worked out, but we've thought about it.

[Mydnite]

LOL How about the poor prople on the crusies TAs west to east, several hours lost, oh my you could be setting a precedent here!

[debshomespun]

Book another cruise in the fall so you can get your hour back.

 

I also concur this is the only remedy! :eek: :eek:

On the bright side, once the ship springs forward you won't have to worry about ship's time vs local time.

Yep, we often do the transatlantic and lose an hour a day for several sea days. It gets harder and harder to hit the gym in the am. BUT, this year, we're getting back at RCI, we're heading out of Rome (Civi') and getting an hour back everyday! I do notice it's generally a more expensive cruise than the eastward TA. Hmmmmm :rolleyes:

Our Westbound TA last fall was great. We gained 5 hrs between London and Florida. It was slightly confusing when it came time to decide when cocktail hour started, but we finally realized that it's always 5 o'clock somewhere! :D

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but unfortunately the discount is only .595%.

 

1 - 167/168 = .00595

 

But on a $1,000 fare, that still might almost get you another alcoholic beverage!

One thing that has not been pointed out here is that it is one less hour of waisted sleep. More time to PARTY!

[cruiserbryce]

hopefully that doesnt take place on the day that you change time zones too...who do they think they are!!!

[printingchick]

Seriously, check your flight schedules. We were flying home from a cruise on Daylight Savings Day a few years ago and our airline itinerary had us landing back in Boston an hour EARLIER than we actually did, due to the time change. We had someone picking us up, so it caused some confusion.
