Instead of one extra suitcase full of rubber ducks, it'll now be a 2nd extra suitcase full of ramen noodles. 😉 I for one, would much rather see that.

Just found out from crew why they won't come back to this ship on their next contract. There is no food available to crew after 11:30 pm. They go to bed hungry. All closing bar staff casino and workers have nothing to eat after 11:30. Unless you have snack food stashed in your cabin. I find this totally unacceptable and am absolutely livid about this situation. When I get home emails and phone calls will be made by me to Royal about this. The crew is what makes your company money. How dare you as a company treat your employees like this. I'm on Grandeur again in February and will be bringing food( dry noodles) to help the crew get through the night. We as passengers need to speak up to defend the crew members that we know and love that go the distance to take such good care of us. Take action! Otherwise your favorite crewmember may leave you and Royal forever! Sorry OP, we are all making fun of you which is not very nice of us especially right around Holiday time. But this crew member is blowing smoke up your funnel. I just hope you didn't get talked into tipping him/her too much. Try to enjoy the rest of your cruise.

Crew members are not allowed to cook in their cabins, by public health rules. Correct @chengkp75? Many Videos on Utube with Cruise Ship Crew eating many items in there Cabins. Noodles, all that takes is Hot Tap water Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is like a large dining hall where everyone can get their breakfast, lunch, dinner and even midnight snack. It isn’t always open with food but often if the crew are hungry they can enjoy some pastry snacks along with tea, coffee, and juices. In the crew mess, there will usually be a large TV where members can come together and watch sports. Even in the later hours of the night, this area can be full of activity as the crew head on down to eat after long days shift. One of the best times to eat in the mess is at midnight, it is when food not used in the guest dining rooms head on down to the crew, this could include the extremely iconic Carnival Chocolate Melting Cake! It can be the best time to go to the mess and a time when fellow workers can come together and discuss their day. Consider using a smaller font. Thank you.

jamin jul Posted December 21, 2022 #36 Share Posted December 21, 2022 Did the crew member look skinny/unhealthy/ starving? I would think there are snack foods that crew could take back to their cabin for late night snack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

queenfrostine22 Posted December 21, 2022 #40 Share Posted December 21, 2022 I have never heard this complaint from any crew member for as long as I have been sailing. Over time we have become friendly with many of the crew on many Royal ships and I have never had any of them tell me they were "starving" I have heard them say that the food is bland, tasteless and much the same every day. Lots of rice, vegetables, bread and pasta. Maybe the crew member was just missing food from home and was having a hard time adjusting to the food choices. That would show poorly of Royal to "starve" their people. Don't you think? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
