I wish you d add launderettes to your (and Celebrity) ships now cruises are longer. Many other lines

A reader recently inquired if we could attribute any specific changes to suggestions made via posts to this blog. While success has many fathers, it does appear there are at least two relatively recent product evolutions that have emanated from blog posts:
Over the past year, we have had more requests for Canal sailings from the blog and Ask Adam than any other product. We heard the same request airline reservation from some departments internally. As our New Deployment team was reviewing bringing Vision of the Seas to the Caribbean, the initial proposal was to offer only long Caribbean sailings; however, the final deployment which is now open for sale reflects a set of Panama Canal sailings in the fall as well as the spring. These sailings bracket the Long Caribbean sailings. Now that we’ve listened, please book these cruises!
airline reservation .Would like to have the cruise that qualifies for the next level of benefits to use those benefits on that cruise instead of waiting until the cruise is completed. Would Also like a competive 5k or 10k where you compete for prizes by sex and age group. Would put 2 runners on the track ; time the runs until all that have registered have completed the course. Could be done in early am (6am) so track can be open for walkers at 8 am.
I agree with too much smoking on the ship. Our favorite bar is the martini bar Olive or Twist on the Freedom. Even though one side is smoking and one side is non smoking, the smoke of course doesn t follow the rules and the whole bar can become inhabitable.
I just got off a trip (on a competitive line) that had 2 bars on the pool deck, 1 port (Non smoking) 1 starboard (smoking), but when business was slow they always closed the non-smoking one, so if you wanted to sit at a bar stool and/or watch the TV you had go to the smoking airline reservation zone, or try and watch the TV through the steal grate they had pulled down over the closed bar. At least I can say I ve never experienced that on an RCCL ship.
A better idea is a pure smokers lounge that is sealed off and vented out to sea so all the smokers could light up and inhale the smoke all to themselves. I bet you d get way more business this way as there are more non smokers airline reservation than smokers.
People should just get over the smoking .come on I hate the smoke as well. What is the this world coming to ..they say they worry about health airline reservation while filling plates with tons of foof and fat .most all people are overweight on the cruise. airline reservation Royal should NOT discrimiate towards anyone and make everyone happy!
I wish you d add launderettes to your (and Celebrity) ships now cruises are longer. Many other lines have them. You spill something, it s quicker to stick it in a machine before it stains rather than give it to the laundry.
I agree with public airline reservation laundry. We cruised with Princess on the Diamond when we went to Alaska and they had beautiful laundry rooms equipped with ironing boards and irons! It was a blessing. I hope Rccl seriously considers offering public laundry rooms for their guests.
And I ll back this up too! We have sailed with P O in the South Pacific and their ships have laundrettes, airline reservation it makes life simpler. Looking forward to my relocation cruise from Dubai to Singapore in May 2013 on Mariner of the Seas.
I completely agree, particularly for longer sailings. When we were in Europe on the Brilliance for two weeks it would have been great to launder clothing ourselves, especially undergarments airline reservation and t-shirt/shorts that we wore often on excursions. It prevents overpacking, airline reservation plus sending laundry out on the ship takes longer and is costlier. I think ALL ships should have a self-laundry option.
On my last cruise I noticed the dress code was not evenly enforced in the dinning room. Almost every night there was people walking in wearing shorts, tee shirts, even ball caps. There was a woman that was dressed like a hooker. I would like to see the dining room stick to the dress code that is listed smart casual
I agree dress codes should be followed. I was on the Oasis and men wore their ball caps to dinnner and shorts on formal nights. What is the point in having formal night if everyone isn t dressed accordingly.
I agree! I always airline reservation enjoyed airline reservation the fact that the dining areas on Royal Caribbean were filled with classy diners, having 5 star meals. The meals are still great, but the diners now remind me of those running out for a burger. lol
I second this request. I dressed according to your rules for the dining room and a lot of people are let in wearing shorts, tank tops, jeans, t-shirts, etc. It upset my husband airline reservation and I. Especially my husband who hates to dress up and had to because of your rules. airline reservation No fair to allow it for some. If you re allowing it, you need to change your dress code for everyone!
I agree, the dining room rules should apply to everyone, I m tired of hearing I paid for my cruise I should be able to dress the way I want to. If that s the case they should eat upstairs where you can dress as you please. Everyone is aware of the dress code before they board, and people not dressed properly should be turned away from the dining room.
I agree with you and will probably be moderated out as well. When I m on a vacation I feel that those who want to dress up should have that choice and those of us that don t want to spend a lot of money on excessively expensive clothes should also have that choice. I wouldn t go to dinner airline reservation in shorts and a t-shirt but I should have a freedom to choose the type of dress that I prefer. The one NICE thing that s different about cruises today compared to the old type cruises is they aren t as stuffy and uptight as they used to be and I think that is a good change. Each person has a different way of having fun and should have the freedom to enjoy their vacation their way without having to forgo a 5-course meal because someone doesn t agree with the way a person dresses.
It s sad that some people scrape and save to take a cruise and can not afford to purchase smart casual clothes or very dressy cloths for formal nights and regular dining night in the main dining room. They to shod be able to experience the pleasure of a lovely meal in the dining room. Maybe one night can be designated come as you are so everyone can experience airline reservation the main dining room. As long as the clothes are clean and presentable (no hoochie mamas or pants on the floor). It might be worth a trial.
airline reservation Now that is a great idea My husband hates the tie and suit affair, but will grudgingly wear it for 2 nights . not everyone that cruises has the means or the love for the dress up aspect of dining. As long as the jeans are appropriate , clean and shirt is also neat, ( no t-shirts) , except for the formal night, I do not see the problem. airline reservation Those who choose to dress for dinner on those formal nights, may attend , and those who don t have many other options. airline reservation EVERYONE should be able to experience the wonderful dining room atmosphere and food. Casual night is a great idea !!
I agree with Cindy and Jill. To turn someone away from a dining area because they do not fit a dress code is ridiculous. We dress up for dinner, one of the fun things about taking a cruise, but to deny someone access to a room because airline reservation their attire is not approve by another diner? Has anyone noticed how casual folks dress to attend church services? Enforce a dress code? might as well go back to when there were theme nights where you had to pack costumes to go to dinner airline reservation as well.
There is nothing worse than following airline reservation the rules and dressing up and sitting with someone who refused It ruins the entire experience. U don t want to dress up, go to windjammer. Keep your hethen maw and paw shorts and tank tops OUT OF MDR.
I agree, Everyone is free to dress however they would like to, that is the freedom of today s cruises airline reservation compared to the old fashioned days when they made you dress up. Sometimes I wear something dressy but I am totally not offended if the people at the next table decide not to I m not worried about what they are doing, let them wear what they want!
If the cruise airline reservation company start letting standards of dress drop what will be the next thing they let go. no kids in the pools, no kids at all becsuse the the hot tubs are being used for sex, i believe this hads been happening just recently on the Bikers Cruise, i bet some iof you would have complained about that one.
We had an amazing time the end of June on The Mariner of The Seas. The service was amazing as was the itinerary airline reservation and food. We were disappointed in the way some people choose to ignore the dress code. We saw our fair share of shorts and tees at dinner and on formal night a number of people were sporting short sleeved shorts (men) and woman dressed to go grocery shopping. Please enforce the dress code.
On another note 2 crew memebers in the dining room really went out of their way for us and we wanted airline reservation them to get the credit that was due. How do we go about finding airline reservation out their names so we can let you know who they were ?
I strongly support the need to enforce the dress code and let people use the buffet if they do not like complying. You do need to communicate the need to go along with the policy for the dining rooms in your pre-sail material and spell it out in plain English. Let me know if you want me to volunteer my thoughts at no cost to you!
Agreed 100%. Nothing going to dinning room and seeing people in there with NASCAR or any sports jersey on formal night ,,, that should not even be allowed any night lol.. Go to the buffet or stay home and hit burger airline reservation kings drive trough lol
I agree! There are so many other options for eating that if you want to dress in jeans you can and still have a good meal, but in the formal dining room where it is stated that there is a dress code then that code should be upheld.
airline reservation I agree. We went on NCL and someone in our party was turned away at the door because he had shorts. We told him before, but it took a crew member for him to change. The rules are for everyone. If they want to dress casually, they can eat in a casual restaurant not t
