Maruzza Foundation onboard charge

[wripro]

I may as well chime in to add my two cents to the tally.

 

I always slog my way to reception to request that the charge be removed and pair it with my request to donate to the crew fund with the subconscious hope that it will make me appear to be less of a cheapskate. Frankly, I just find it distasteful for someone to take it upon themselves to donate my money without my consent. I am equally put off by requests at shops to donate to various charities, although in that case I'm at least being asked first. Like most, I do make numerous charitable contributions throughout the year and happily. I am also pleased when others recognize me by make charitable donations in my honor. Perhaps that is a tact Silversea could pursue? Raise prices by whatever the charge is ($1 a day or some such?) and then announce that a donation has been made to the foundation in honor of the company of valued guest so and so on this cruise.

 

I have a better idea. Why doesn't Silversea donate $1 per day per passenger to the charity from their profits instead of trying to make us foot the bill? If the charity means so much to the owner's wife he should be more than willing to help her out.

Hopefully, when RCI take over it will disappear.

The charity charge is an outrage. I absolutely LOVE going to reception and having it removed. The Crew Fund is a terrific idea, and I get great pleasure in donating to it.
