TNcruising02 Posted March 26, 2017 #1051 Share Posted March 26, 2017 Who determines who is disabled ? Lots of people have disabilities that do not require a disabled cabin but they are disabled .I have COPD and I am disabled but cruise in a regular cabin . Should I be given free room service ? How about all the people with bad arthritis or recovering from Cancer . To give some disabled people free room service and not all is discriminatory . I don't know, maybe people who booked a disabled room or who use a scooter? It seems like if a person needs a scooter, then they are more likely to have mobility issues than a person who does not.

finfan32744 Posted March 26, 2017 #1052 Share Posted March 26, 2017 It was in the Crown and Anchor newsletter we received via email last week. They are rolling it out fleet wide the end of the month with it on all ships by mid April. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bUU Posted March 26, 2017 #1053 Share Posted March 26, 2017 Scooters are becoming far too commonplace to consider them as certification of disability. Many folks rent scooters for vacations specifically because they anticipate a marked increase in physical activity subjected to a body that hadn't seen much in months. Beyond that, the possession of a scooter mitigates some of the arguments for not going to the buffet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
knittinggirl Posted March 26, 2017 #1054 Share Posted March 26, 2017 I'd like to see one of the new $7.95 room service menus. If we're getting charged for the same old room service menu, I won't be very happy about it. I plan to tell those Specialty Dining Salesmen that pester us that we spent the specialty dining budget on the new room service fees. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The_Big_M Posted March 27, 2017 #1068 Share Posted March 27, 2017 For those who complain about wasted food and how paying for room service would reduce waste. Should watch the amount of waste in the Windjammer. Much more than room service could cause. The argument that room service is wasteful holds no validity when compared to the Windjammer. Actually, people are arguing they'll get as much food as they can - more than needed - since they now have to pay for room service. Implying some food will get wasted. Care to share who's taking unneeded food to waste in the buffet as a result of this change? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lucymorgan Posted March 27, 2017 #1071 Share Posted March 27, 2017 Happy to discuss on social media (obviously) but unless RCI offer more than a stock response, it's pointless, really. Changing lines isn't a problem - never been blindly brand loyal and will go were the best deal is. My issue here is that the change has been made after taking my non-refundable cash, so only option left is to get my money's worth. I completely understand your issue - if this was a company in Australia, they would be breaking the law to not deliver what was promised when you entered into the contract. I also agree with you getting your money's worth. Go for it. Getting your money's worth doesn't mean ordering much much more than you can eat to deliberately waste it unless of course you want to sample everything which would be legit. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They do reserve the right to change onboard pricing, so e.g. if photos go from $20 to $25, some cocktail goes from $12 to $14, or as in this example, there is no recourse.

Interesting. I knew that there were nothing to the legal accusations being thrown around by Americans, but I wasn't sure about what folks were saying about other country's consumer protection laws. It would be surprising to me to learn that those accusations were true; it makes sense that for consumer protections to apply that the amenity (in this case, the fact that room service is "free") would have to be, as you said, a "stated inclusion".

rvrocker Posted March 27, 2017 #1074 Share Posted March 27, 2017 They way they can get away with it is the cruise contract is worded.
