I returned from a Royal Caribbean cruise just yesterday. We booked it after having a great cruise last November. They must have made some policy changes after the new year because it was not enjoyable at all.

The menu has changed with far less options, and the food went from amazing in November to just okay. They are REALLY pushing the paid dining options, and I think a strategy is to make the free main dining experience less appealing.

There are generally three people who help you with your cruise: a main server, an assistant server, and a room attendant. In the past they have been fantastic. I am wondering if Royal issued a pay cut to employees because all the workers seemed just plain sad, and the service was pretty bad. Moving around the ship, the morale of the crew seemed really somber, too. Not the typical smiles and greetings, and some crew would even mutter stuff under their breath as we passed by. Several times I heard crew making fun of or hating on "Americans".

The cruise was also woefully crowded. Not a seat to spare, and despite there being signage to not save seats or deck chairs, everybody still did it without so much as a prompt from the crew. It was impossible to sit anywhere but your room, and lines for anything were unbelievably long. That's typical on a cruise, but this one was over the top.

Two other things... the ship constantly smelled like weed. There are smoking sections, but nobody cared to follow that rule, so every inch smelled like nasty, skunky weed.

Then at night, 12 am to 3 am, somebody in a nearby stateroom was blasting loud music. After complaints from several nearby staterooms, the crew did nothing to stop it or help.

I used to love cruises... now I don't think I'll go on one again.

And no Chicago either? But uff, enough with that! Though I must add, unlike Dallas, you can technically create a cruise route from Chicago to Alaska (very very long and boring though it may be)!

I'm not familiar with Alaska cruise deals. What *would* be a really good price on one of these? And it sounds like you get extra perks purchasing through a travel agent?

Quote from brittany.peck617 :
can you imagine how long that would be... at least 30 days to get around the Panama canal
My parents used to do freighter cruises and have been through the Panama Canal on one. I believe their trip was 100+ days on that one with the longest part being at sea for almost two weeks. Not for the faint of heart.

We just booked a cruise through NCL but I imagine RC is similar. Best deal we found was using a thirty party Amex travel agent so we could get the Platinum card perks and the TA kicked in another 10% in room credits.

The cruises are still reasonable but unless you are close enough to drive to the cruise ports, airfare is ridiculous.

Quote from mp5cartman :
Royal be like SALE ends in... EXTENDED... SALE... EXTENDED. It's regular pricing.
Exactly. I was surprised to see this on SD. Cruises on Royal Caribbean (and just about every other mass market cruise line) are like buying furniture. It is ALWAYS on sale. The gimmicks like 30% off all, or 75% off second guest, etc. rotate, but the underlying cruise price per passenger is held relatively constant through it all. But people who rarely cruise see this and get motivated to book because of FOMO.

That's not to say you can't find a deal if you are a persistent shopper. The main thing is to cruise when demand is low .. when school is in session, when it is the height of hurricane season, when the ports of call are out of high season, etc. To understand this, note that the least expensive time of the year to cruise is the first half of December. The most expensive time of year to cruise in the last half of December. Otherwise, same cruise.

Quote from Grayvisc :
Consider the "waste" generated on 1 cruise trip vs the same number of people taking separate vacations and the waste they would generate instead. It's a no brainer. Unless the suggestion is to never go on vacation?
Do you think any of those people flew private jets to their "separate vacations?" LOL.

Cruise ships (which still need planes, trains, and automobiles to get too) are a million-to-one more wasteful than any other type of vacation. Or do you think a floating city with dozens of 24/7 buffets and daily linen changes all powered by diesel fuel is 'green?' Heck, you could probably go to edge of space with Bezos with less of an impact on the environment and landfills.

Not against cruise ships but try to think your point out a little better next time.
