I keep it basic when it comes to food and activities via cruises. If it not included, I don’t need it. I wish they would just post the price with taxes and fees (high gratuity) included, not trying to be accountant while on vacation. I “ball out” on a budget while on vacation 😆

As with anything, read before you go, then no surprises. There's usually a caveat for going prices... and subject to change. This is not exclusive to RCI by any stretch.

I have previous cruises I haven’t listed as well... some of them were in the 90s and don’t show up in the search.. and a couple of them, I couldn’t remember the exact dates and I didn’t want to put down the wrong ones.. Anyway, in response to the original post... I feel the same way. Advertised price for a steak was 16.00, the ticket was 20.00 because of a ‘service charge’ 🤷🏼‍♀️. And that didn’t include gratuity.. Same thing happened in the cigar shop and Johnny Rockets.. I feel nickel and dimmed to death on RC... 😳

So they can’t comment about their previous cruises because they didn’t listed them? 🤔I didn’t add my past 3 cruises to my history either. You do know that’s optional.
