Review summary

We were deviated for security reasons because Isaac Storm. This is fine with us, because it had to do with our security. Instead of being two days at sea, we were three. I think that the Royal Caribbean line should offer something more than return the port taxes by $8.86. I think that they could make an offer such as one or two hours of free drinks, or dinner on one of the specialized restaurants, or a discount without closing date for an upcoming cruise, etc.

Will be boarding FOS for the 2nd time in February. Loved it the first time so I’m really looking forward to our next cruise on her.

Actually, it wasn't "security " reasons, it was safety reasons. And if you hit bad weather and rough seas, you would be complaining and want compensation for NOT avoiding the storm!

They tried to protect you from the storm. And you want them to compensate you???

Prices are always much cheaper during hurricane season. I think they take that into account beforehand.
