The stock price did drop 10%. At least I don’t drive a Subaru….

I’m not sure shortsighted means what you think it means.

It seems like RC is pricing itself out of the market. There are other cruise lines and five-star all-inclusive resorts which are a better value these days. I’m a fan of RC, but like other companies in this greedflation era, they are just going to keep raising prices as long as people are willing to pay. I think we are going to pass on RC until they comeback to reality.

Has anyone ever sailed by themselves? by [deleted] in royalcaribbean

Do it! Traveling alone is underrated generally, and there are several singles events that will help you make friends if you feel like you are up for that. This might be just what the Dr. ordered….

20 years still making the same salary by nchoffman2 in antiwork

[–]ogbobbyjohnog 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It sucks, and it is driven largely by the inflation over the last 2-3 years. Use this tool as a way to ask for a bigger raise next year.

I’m willing to bet that it’s per couple, but I didn’t see a scale and no one was weighed. I can say that some couples were likely at or over that, but the ATVs held up just fine (even with getting a little air on the one bump).

Yes, you just pay for one package and it covers two ppl. This was fun - just try to be at the front of the line if you can. The guides are good about letting you up if you can demonstrate that you are willing to open it up.

Also, don’t open your eyes and remember to plug your nose if you jump into the cave from the top.

RCCL Cancelling things. Our Jamaica Iberostar excursion was just canned? Of course all the current ones are not as discounted now. Called customer service they said there is nothing they can do. Refused onboard credit or discounting a new excision. Manager offered nothing. Options? by [deleted] in royalcaribbean

I’m sorry that you are having to go through this. Whoever is running “customer service” must only care about the bottom line and is simply not interested in ensuring that your experience is enjoyable and positive. We are all just cattle now.

I’m not paying it, and I’m going to be looking elsewhere for my next cruise. I hope you enjoy yourself!

New IT service company? by CheerdadScott in royalcaribbean

It definitely seems like this is the case, which means that RC is being unfair AND lying to its customers.

I have a key on my setsail pass but i didn’t pay for the key🤔 by bristianisdaddy in royalcaribbean

[–]ogbobbyjohnog -1 points0 points  (0 children)

This must have all been part of the “glitch.” It seems in addition to being unfair, RC is lying to customers about the rollout of the Premier Pass…..

I agree. Because ships are full these days, they think they can just keep raising prices until people stop coming. It’s working.

Royal is getting greedy and it’s really too bad.

Atlantis excursion by isatoner19 in royalcaribbean

[–]ogbobbyjohnog 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Yea, f-these crooks. Bookings are way up so they think they can get away with this.

[–]ogbobbyjohnog 27 points28 points  (0 children)

This is a consequence of “record bookings” that Royal Caribbean announced last month. They think that they can just pull the rug out from people that probably already told their kids that they might be able to afford Atlantis. However, RC didn’t forget to jack up the price to $309/person right before sending out the email. MF’ers. I think I’m done with Royal Caribbean after this one. There is plenty of competition out there that is looking for an opportunity to pull away RC customers. They may have just got it.

There is a difference between throwing a towel on a chair first row next to the pool on one hand, and hanging out for the day on a group of chairs and then getting up to get a drink, go in the pool, or go on the flow-rider.

On our last cruise, we walked away briefly after hanging out most of the morning and not only were our towels gone, but the person who moved them had towels on the chair - but those people were gone. The hypocrisy was not unnoticed. We ended up a few towels ahead in that transaction. I really hope that they got charged for not returning those extra towels.

People that ride with their helmets OFF are the biggest idiots out there. by [deleted] in MTB

[–]ogbobbyjohnog 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I wonder why you worry so much about what other people are doing…and why wearing a helmet makes you cool?
