I have been on Royal Caribbean cruises in the past. In fact, our honeymoon was a 12 night cruise around the Mediterranean. However, the food has gone downhill in a BIG way. Also, I saw a food-handling staff member in the Windjammer Cafe picking his nose, and when I reported it to someone who looked like they were in a position of authority, said person just smiled and said "yes!" over and over, obviously not speaking a word of English. (Here's a hint: if you don't speak English, FUCKING DON'T ANSWER QUESTIONS!!!!!!!!) Plus, the food was several steps below what I'd experienced with them before. I actually left most of a slice of chocolate cake uneaten at dinner, because it was so blah and meh that it wasn't worth the calories. they've really gone downhill.
/>So anyway, when we were on our honeymoon cruise, we put a $100 downpayment on a future cruise, without having to specify where or when. One of the things we were thinking about was going in the spring for Dominic's spring break, and getting Rob to come with. Well, out of curiosity, I tried doing some searches on their website. THEIR SEARCH SUCKS. Beyond sucks. Their search is the most useless thing I've ever seen. I specified a departure month, a destination, and a departure port. The results showed me about nine jillion cruises leaving for other destinations, leaving from other ports, and not leaving even during the same MONTH I'd specified. What the fuck?
And the results don't tell you the sailing dates, so you can't even scan through and see what might be a possibility. They just say "sailing in Feburary 2009 and March 2009" well ISN'T THAT SPECIAL since I ASKED FOR APRIL @($$ SAILINGS!!!!!
I'm about ready to say fuck them entirely and go with another cruise line for future cruises. I'm even willing to bail on the $100 we deposited just to not have to deal with their incompetent shit. |
