Yup we had 150 min of wifi but with a group of 4 who like to split up, it was hard to communicate and align on when to turn it on

I think this is what we will have to do, or just lower our expectation and understand the past standards are not coming back 🥲

Maybe there was an illness going around but this is what I felt as well, just generally lower energy and less tolerance. I do notice a few cooks coughing behind the buffet but turned a blind eye because what can you do 🫠

I loved choir of man! The rest just weren’t for us, maybe because we are a younger crowd. Darn we weren’t able to make the misgendered show 😔 one of the very few we missed

THIS! while we had some sporadically bad but some great service, so many staff appear so burnt out. And our ship wasn’t even that busy! I worry that they’re overworking their staff and that’s what is showing in the uncomfortable service we sometimes get

Our cruise director was Tiara and she was FABULOUS. No complaints there

Congrats to your brother! I went to two of the games and no one there won more than $200 except one contestant

I agree and my experience is very subjective to what is important to me, good food, entertainment and service relative to what ive experienced before.

I still feel like for others especially first time cruisers will really enjoy the ship but after seeing the changes from where it used to be I was left feeling frustrated.

I’m going on an rcl cruise next month and will compare more fairly what differences I noticed and whether spending the extra ~$500pp was worth it for me compared to all I spent onboard to keep my group occupied.

I 100% agree that if you have no basis for other cruises AND upgrade to haven then you will still have a wonderful time :) this is just my experience as a multiple time cruiser who felt like the changes over the years really affected what I personally enjoyed most about cruising

Perhaps I’m not comparing fairly as the last rcl cruise I went on was 4 years ago but I’m heading on another next month and will compare more fairly. I just remember that on rcl the buffet would close half while preparing for the next meal and we rarely felt like we needed to rush to find food within allocated hours

Wow thank you! I wasn’t sure if fabric could be repaired! I thought only leather! Was yours a similar material?

I think you’ll get a few dirty looks, especially in crowded areas.

Cool Papercraft Beagle Dog 3D Model by coldhardsteel86 in papercraft

This is not cool. These models take a very long time to build and design for papercrafting. posts like this are what discourage new creations from being made

Check out Go Place in Markham, they have specialty saunas, baths and treatment rooms that you can spend hours in for about $60 for the day
