Royal Caribbean killed my dog!

[chef_christoph]

As overly dramatic titles seem to be all the rage, I had to come up with one that would compete with some of the others I've seen lately.

 

I have been AWOL from the boards until just recently and I am curious to know of any news (rumor, conjecture...whatever) regarding possible changes to the C&A level requirements.

 

I did try to search but to no avail.

 

Thanks!

 

Oh, and no animals were hurt in the writing of this post...

Are you diamond plus? If so, they will not only replace your dog, but offer you a free three category pet upgrade.

[chef_christoph]

I thought I read somewhere about a pet upgrade surcharge....:D

[VillaHappy]

Don't forget to demand a diamond studded collar! :D

You mean to tell me that I have to ask for one?

 

Shouldn't they just give me one without having to ask?

 

Don't they know who I am?

[julesbeara]

RCCL should give you a Diamond Plus collar tag to go with the Diamond studded collar and the replacement dog that you shouldn't have to ask for.

I already have a diamond plus collar tag...I bought it on ebay. :)

[chef_christoph]

Oh and what about my friend's dog. If they are sailing with me but not in the same cabin, will they get a diamond collar for their dog too?

Sorry, I have no news for you, but just wanted to say, a brilliant title...I laughed so hard...very funny and original!! well done! lololo :D

Only if they don't wear jeans in the dining room.

Insist that your next dog must be allowed in the Concierge Lounge or you will be looking for another cruiseline.

[kc320]

What if you don't want another dog?? I think I'd rather have a pony...especially with gas prices lately....:D

[cage keeper]

Is the dog the one reserving all those pool chairs?

[chef_christoph]

Don't worry, we'll stick to the specialty restaurants. From all I have read about the food quality in the MDR, it doesn't sound like the food in there is even fit for him.:D:D

[chef_christoph]

No, no, that's the chair HOG, not the chair DOG. :p

[julesbeara]

I think they should give you a dog & a pony with fitted formal wear so they can eat in the MDR.

[mechcc]

If you are eating in the speciality resturant, your dog should be at least 12 years old - otherwise they are too young and will bother others looking for a romantic dinner.

 

Did you know that if your dog is the 3rd passenger in the cabin they will have to pay more than you! :D

Dog AND pony?

 

Won't the show at RCCL headquarters miss the star performers?

:D:D

Well, MY dog is ALWAYS on his best behavior. Surely the age rule only applies to other, less mannered, dogs.

 

And now that I have a dog AND a pony, the rates should drop because there will be four of us in the room.

Make sure your dog is current on rabies vaccination..Wouldn't want him to bite someone, and have an epidemic of rabid passengers at sea.!

I think it takes a lot less for there to be groups of rabid passengers found on board.

[momzcruzing]

I'm at work and laughing so hard, I may lose my job (method of cruise payment) over this thread.

 

I'm thinking that your dog might have survived had he not been in a rum runner!;)

I really hate to burst your bubble but your pony is double sized so you will need to get a second cabin or a family suite. But the good news is you can call the special services division and they will help arrange the special diet your pony will need. I'm sure the filet migon will be just fine for your dog.

So Royal Caribbean discriminates against mixed species families now? My pony doesn't eat nearly as much as an adult would. This is just bad business practices by Royal Caribbean.

Well, maybe not. But your pony also doesn't participate in revenue generating activities like the bar, bingo, art auctions, spa treatments and since there is no horse racing - the casino. Therefore, while your pony may eat less, it also doesn't produce as much revenue. And don't forget, they have to hire an extra person for the free "poop patrol" (don't forget, you really should tip them).
