meripour Posted April 23, 2015 #126 Share Posted April 23, 2015 The following is from the Live streaming onboard the Anthem, hosted by Colleen with Cruise Critic who was able to ask questions direct of management concerning this matter. DONT CANCEL YOUR PREPAIDS AS THEY WILL BE HONORED. (But I will print this to take!!!;) Is it true that Jamie's Italian has now gone A-la-carte? This was one of the for-fee restaurants I was planning on booking but will have to take another look now. by ransrider April 20 at 9:11 AM Colleen, Cruise Critic... Hi there! we were told today at a Royal Caribbean press conference that surcharges will be honored. So if you've paid already for a future sailing, you won't need to pay an additional fee to dine at Jamie's -- no a la carte for you.

maisiecat Posted April 23, 2015 #127 Share Posted April 23, 2015 We ate in Jamie's tonight on the anthem. I can confirm we were asked if we booked before we sailed, on confirming we had booked weeks ago, our pre paid booking was honoured and we did not have to pay any more. It was excellent food. It was also quiet, I assume due to all the cancellations and nobody wanting to go a la carte. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But while they've asked about the pre-booking on this maiden voyage, how many sailings into the future will they do that? We don't saill for another six months. I want it in writing from RCI... Happy to have your post to cite to RCI if need be. Thanks and enjoy the rest of your cruise! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thats good to hear, I have just called Royal and was told I had two options either cancel or have what we have paid already as a deposit to take off what we spend on the A La Carte menu :confused: I can't understand why there is nothing official from Royal on this.

maisiecat Posted April 24, 2015 #130 Share Posted April 24, 2015 To cancel a paid contract, two parties have to agree, those are consumer rights. They want people to cancel quietly, this suits them fine but the law is not on their side to be able to cancel the contract without agreement on both sides. If you want to eat at the price you paid, that is your right and that is what they have done on this trip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clydecruiser Posted April 24, 2015 #131 Share Posted April 24, 2015 I had a reply from Michael Bayley today stating "Any guest who prepaid the fixed charge will be honored." Due to the number of people he copied on it I do not foresee any problems Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SausPud Posted April 24, 2015 #134 Share Posted April 24, 2015 So ordering up to four courses for free if you pre paid isn't enough for you to be honoured. How many courses of Italian food do you need to eat? We aren't American's and 3-4 courses should be enough food for any appetite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare LMaxwell Posted April 24, 2015 #135 Share Posted April 24, 2015 So ordering up to four courses for free if you pre paid isn't enough for you to be honoured.How many courses of Italian food do you need to eat? We aren't American's and 3-4 courses should be enough food for any appetite. They should honor the terms and conditions at the time they took the payment. If that means 1 course for 1 person, or 6 courses for another, so be it. It's not our position to say how much is reasonable or unreasonable for someone to eat as that's not the issue here. The issue is RCI changing their own terms and conditions on the fly and maybe<?> honoring the deal made with guests already paid in full. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have it in writing and 3/4 courses are enough for me. Of course to get money's worth I will make sure to order the more expensive dishes. As a gold card member of Jamie's maybe I should write to him too...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

onlyonetrevorfrancis Posted April 26, 2015 #140 Share Posted April 26, 2015 I never heard of him Gordon Ramsey I understand is quite big in the States and Jamie Oliver not so much. If you know Gordon Ramsey then the easiest way to describe Jamie is he's the COMPLETE opposite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SausPud Posted April 26, 2015 #145 Share Posted April 26, 2015 Gordon got stars, Jamie doesn't Yes, but neither of them are a patch on Heston Blumenthal. But seeing as neither of them are cooking the food on the ship, it doesn't really matter who has stars or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

roxette Posted April 27, 2015 #148 Share Posted April 27, 2015 Got my e-docs for my may Quantum cruise today. It seems that Devinly Decadence actually will be converted to Solarium Bistro by then. Anyone knows anything about that, at all? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Missus Makkem Posted April 27, 2015 #149 Share Posted April 27, 2015 Dont think Jamie uses the word Pukka any more now. He seems to have stopped saying lovely jubbely and Bish bash bosh. Ah well back to the cooking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MADflyer Posted April 27, 2015 #150 Share Posted April 27, 2015 Got my e-docs for my may Quantum cruise today. It seems that Devinly Decadence actually will be converted to Solarium Bistro by then. Anyone knows anything about that, at all? It was always Divinly Decadence at the Solarium Bistro. While Oasis and Quantum class both have Solarium Bistro, Devinly Decadence is only featured on the Quantum class. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
