yoyogu Posted April 2, 2016 #1 Share Posted April 2, 2016 Hi there, I just noticed that they're charging $3.95 for room service from 10pm-5am Anyone currently sailing now/sailing in the next few days verify this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clarea Posted April 2, 2016 #2 Share Posted April 2, 2016 What ship? Most ships (other than Quantum class) charge extra from midnight until 5am. I have heard of an occasional ship changing those times a bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Virtopia Posted April 2, 2016 #4 Share Posted April 2, 2016 (edited) Just read that in another thread, which is slightly disappointing. After I do my evening activities, I usually get back to the room by 10pm to order my food. Now, I'll either have to do this by 9pm or pick something up on my way back.

The 10pm time might not be on all ships. It was midnight on Vision last month. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CapeCodCruiser Posted April 2, 2016 #8 Share Posted April 2, 2016 That is one of the cheesiest up-charges in cruising today. It's not like they are paying the crew more for working those hours! From a customer service standpoint they would be smarter to find somewhere else for an extra charge and leave room service alone - its seems to be a punitive charge.

Rare Keith1010 Posted April 2, 2016 #9 Share Posted April 2, 2016 I agree. Seems to discourage people from getting a late night snack. Keith Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CapeCodCruiser Posted April 2, 2016 #12 Share Posted April 2, 2016 I was on the voyager in February and the room service charge started at 10pm and ended at 5am Weird - this is what their website says: "*Late night service charge applies to room service orders between midnight and 5:00 a.m." http://www.royalcaribbean.com/findacruise/ships/class/ship/home.do?shipClassCode=VY&shipCode=VY&br=R Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At about 10.03PM ONE night I ordered some cookies and milk and they said they will be charging the $3.95 late night service charge. So I did not get the cookies lol.

akcruz Posted April 2, 2016 #16 Share Posted April 2, 2016 (edited) Another situation where you can likely thank your fellow passengers. My guess is they are finding people ordering after 10 and either not responding when it gets to their cabin or skipping a tip altogether. Whether that is due to falling asleep, having imbibed too much or something else who knows. Remember however, the 3.95 does include the tip so depending on what you are ordering it may not be too bad. Either way not a good thing.

Clarea Posted April 2, 2016 #18 Share Posted April 2, 2016 I didnt know the $3.95 included the tip? That's what they say, but we still give some extra because I don't know who gets the $3.95. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruzsnooze Posted April 2, 2016 #19 Share Posted April 2, 2016 in less than 2 years they have increased the prices and removed a lot of free stuff that you used to get on a cruise. . There was never anything free on any cruise. Many things are "included" in your fare and many things have been kicked out of the "included", very tacky on RCL's part.

How can anyone be skipping a tip that is already included in the daily auto gratuity? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Room service is not included in the daily auto gratuity. It is expected that if you use room service, which many do not, you tip at that time.

IsanTom Posted April 2, 2016 #23 Share Posted April 2, 2016 I normally place my room service order by 9:55PM or 11:55PM, so no service charge! Bon Appetite! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mirp Posted April 2, 2016 #25 Share Posted April 2, 2016 Thanks. I will do my usual and tip a couple of bucks even if there is a $3.95 charge. My child loves room service as it is not provided at home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
