I agree. We paid $3200 for aft corner balcony for the 8 nighter - worth $2K imo

Could it be a question of US cruises versus European cruises? I have a feeling (as a European who will probably never again cruise from a US port) that the US cruises - especially to the Caribbean - are very cheap.

I'm on Vision now and they are painting the hull at ports. They are also sanding and varnishing railings. It's 32 degrees C today but good to know it will done properly when it reaches Us. 

I've been thinking the whole time this thread's been going on that the supply chain is broken in almost every industry worldwide.  I kept wondering if they just ran out of the products they need to use?

 

My son works for a nationwide home builder, and they are going crazy with the lumber and home building supply shortages all over the US.

I agree. I have a building company and supply is slowly returning. I was on the first 2 Voyager cruises and it did need maintenance done. After 2 years lay up in Cyprus it showed. However, as the cruises progressed the work and staff training was getting done

Correct.  One review I read had a picture of the side of the ship with rust.  It was unpleasant looking, but all I could think is "they haven't had a chance to get out there and take care of it".  Then, "maybe another supply shortage thing". 

Quite likely and that really wasn’t my issue. It is not hard to clean or replace stained and worn furnishings. Unless the cruise line is saving $$ by not investing on an old ship.

They have started to repair the running track. (Won't affect me) This morning we had Brunch as cheers with an officer. 9.30 start

Ouch. I paid £790 for my 8n solo in October ($955) albeit for an OV.

Was the Brunch for Pinnacles. We are Diamond and are traveling companions Diamond + and we didn’t get an invite to that on our sailing.

It’s the 340+ lunch/brunch - I don’t think R&D are that high yet….

Alec, how’s the food this cruise, it was truly awful on the 12 night recently - never experienced anything as bad and you know how long I’ve been cruising with Royal

Cheers with an officer is for 340 pts and above.  Ours on our last two b2b's (Nov/Dec and Apr) have been lunch.
