Royal Carrebean should have compensated us for missing last port. Not blaming them for the weather but should offered credit on next cruise.

Not everything deserves compensation

I'm sure that it's easier on their bookkeeping system to compensate the passengers immediately rather than to have to carry a credit forward for each missed port by time, date, passenger name etc.

Nope. They should not have compensated you. Read your contract

They are not responsible for weather related events, just like airplanes canceling flights. Wow, what an uninformed comment.
