I always thought that only requirement to be a Carnival gold card member was to have the ability to fog up a mirror.

I don't understand how folk can go on a cruise for X-amount of days and there is ABSOLUTELY NOTHING GOOD THE ENTIRE TRIP??? Last summer I was on crutches on The Liberty of The Seas for 9 days and along with actual disabled people, WE STILL HAD A BLAST! The cruise is what YOU MAKE IT

8E - I have been sailing with RCC for the past 12 years, and I will continue. My biggest issue, is when the cruise comes to an end! Makes me wonder about some of the complainers out there. I was detoured to Canada the past 2 yrs due to hurricanes in Bermuda and WE STILL HAD A BLAST! Next cruise 10/1, can't wait....

I complained and all they gave me was 20% back but that's not going to do me any good because I'm not going to sail on Royal Caribbean ever again

I will never cruise Royal Caribbean ever again we were treated very poorly the food was absolutely horrible the director of the ship was horrible they had nothing to do for children the Bumper Karts took 45 minutes and you got to write them 5 no dancing on the deck also this is a gimmick to get your money at the jewelry stores and they only had a few Pub bars which wasn't worth crap they had one Latino how one other dance hall I rate this ship is 0 all it's about is money money money I didn't see anybody having any fun or partying or anything I'm 56 years old but I'm not dead it seemed like they directed this ship towards nothing but boring people and the food in the in the dining was absolutely the worst Food I've ever ate on a ship we had to go to the Windjammer every single night so good luck everybody on this ship because I guarantee you you're not getting your money's worth I have my gold card member on Carnival Cruise Line and you better believe it's a fun ship dancing good food and a good time

Hey, life sucks without good BBQ 😱 the last cruise and very large amount of kids due to spring break. I was on the ship a few weeks ago and it was fine, small lines and great staff. Never even thought to ask for BBQ sauce. I will grill them next time. We can't let them get away with that. What is next no ketchup!!!

I'm sure guest services would've been happy to help with your "BBQ sauce problem". Or buy a bottle off shore, I'm sure someone will sell this "rare" sauce.

Let's start a class action suite BQ sauce is an essential requirement for health and well being.
