Jimbo502 you should not comment about the situation you know nothing about! I do know about what i speak! Since the Pandemic 😷, I have taken 6 cruises in 2022 alone, 5 in 2023, and now I have 5 booked for 2024! I had planned to cancel my sailings for 2024, however after discussing the situation with ship managers and Royal Caribbean home office, I agreed to at least take the cruises that I had already paid for! Let’s not forget your manners next time you leave a comment!

The stay home comment was unnecessary because I spent a lot of time cruising! I have 5 sailings for 2024 alone! I even suggested to the head chef to taste the items I mentioned for himself! I’m not the type of person who complains a lot but the poor food quality could not be overlooked! The flooded cabin happened but not a deal breaker because things happen! Just so you know there were 4 incidents cabin floodings during my 21 days back to back sailings I learned from listening to the crew restoring my cabin!

Some of the things that went wrong were cabin flooding, it took 8 key cards and two technicians to enable for the sea pass card to open the door 🚪 poor food quality. The poor food quality was the problem that caused the most problems for me that could not be overlooked. Lasagna made with no cheese or meat Ragu sauce, tunafish salad made with very little salad dressing, crabcakes, which contain no crab meat! Also, there was something in the food that was causing me to become severely constipated. I literally didn’t eat for several days because of the stomach pain.

So many problems then proceeds to leave a review without saying what any of the problems were. Real helpful for others.

If you didn’t do any onboard entertainment kr activities then maybe cruising is a bit annoying if a mode of travel for you? Consider just traveling on your own itinerary.
