Is it just me, or is RCL more expensive than oceania and viking when you add in all the nickel and diming? My oceania penthouse was cheaper than an rcl basic balcony. Beautiful ships but too many kids
Until the icon of the seas, cruising was a relatively niche activity that most people didn’t do. Now the average consumer sees cruise ships and the average consumer as we see with designer clothing could pay 4 times what something is worth just bc of the marketing behind it
It really pissed me off when we were charged $3 for each TINY bag of popcorn sold outside of the theatres while on Grandeur Of The Seas last month. They set up a stand outside of shows held in the theater!!! We refused the first few nights but buckled by night 3!!! What a joke. They're literally using maybe $.75 worth of ingredients!!! I'm close to being done with RCL! We just booked a 7 night Carnival Jubilee cruise for 5 for a fraction of what it would have cost on one of Royal's mid-aged "fun" ships We bought a few items from the onboard store & we were told that they were "out of bags" but we could buy one to hold the items we LITERALLY just bought!!! Um, NO!!!!
You’re going to love Carnival Jubilee, guys burger joint free of charge, pig & anchors free of charge, Chibang free of charge, and many more great food places to eat. Carnival has better pizza in my opinion compared to Royal. You will definitely get more for your money on Carnival than Royal. Carnival jubilee is one of the newest ship, it’s beautiful!
@laniesider2586 💚💚💚💚💚. Thank you! We are soooo looking forward to our Carnival cruise. I've been watching every Carnival Jubilee youtube video I can find. Im excited about Guy's, Shaq's & all of the other eateries & and entertainment!!! Kyndall Fire is going to be our Cruise Director🎊🥰🎉💚!!!!

Great review. I'm not a new cruiser and the 4-day sailing on UOTS that I booked for next year was the perfect opportunity for me to try RC, a new ship and a mega ship. I've sailed 5 times already this year on Celebrity, NCL and Virgin Voyages. I'll be sailing at least 5 times next year as well and not everyone can take a week off each time they sail - especially if it's multiple times a year.
I’m 16 and going on my 5th cruise, this year my parents just booked this one hopefully is has some more things so offer than oasis, can’t get better than icon that we went on in April
From all the reviews I've seen on youtube, you reserve as soon as you board the ship, which is unfortunate because if you board later in the day, you might miss out. A few vloggers missed out because they boarded too late. Call Royal to confirm.
@@Eatsleepcruise1 I have yes. But sadly it's to expensive 😞😞. Like I can afford it over time but I refuse to spend that much money. Has to be at least half the price before I consider
Yeah it’s not enough time for an oasis ship, but it’s more geared to new cruisers. With this ship I’m able to get a bunch in f friends who have never cruise to come with me. It’s near damn impossible to get a first time cruise to go on a 7 night. You take them on a smaller ship for a few days and they’re not too impressed. Was also able to book the 2 bdr aquatheater this November and ult fam suite next November since it’s much cheaper for 4 nights. Might of gone up by now though.
@@Eatsleepcruise1 yeah we’re staying on the ship that day, and booked a casita to enjoy a hopefully less crowded pool deck. I’ve got 3 new cruisers going with me in October. You know how annoying it is hearing “I don’t wanna be stuck on a ship”? It’s vacation, who thinks of getting stuck on vacation?! Hoping after my next 2, I can get some friends to go on Star of the seas, it’s my end goal anyway.
Glad we are sailing next on the Symphony instead of Utopia. Better bang for our buck plus we get to see Hairspray. MEI got us a good rate.
Great review. At price and offering your better off booking a 7 day or 6 day on older ship
Thanks. We agree. You sailing on an Oasis class soon?

RCL is system wide covered in kids that run wild. Making a cruise that results in undesired frustration.
Once you start adding some of the up charges many premium cruise lines look more appealing, especially if you don’t need water slides.
Depends. The shows are some of the best, but we could do without some of the attractions aimed at families. Have you sailed on Celebrity?
Well, I booked three cruises this year with other cruise lines instead of Royal. Tgeir prices are too high, especially tge new ships.

They charge $2.50 for popcorn during the water show. $3 bag to carry gifts. Nickel and dime cruise line! 👎

Whats the significance of mentioning how often you can take off work compared to other people?
Nice ship, but the question is Why? Too expensive for what they give.
I’m 16 and going on my 5th cruise, this year my parents just booked this one hopefully is has some more things so offer than oasis, can’t get better than icon that we went on in April
I wish this ship had the Vitality Cafe where the Spa was like on other ships.
Which bigger Wonder or Utopia?
They are about the same size. Icon of the Seas is bigger than both of them.
Por favor corríjame, la diferencia entre natillas y crema pastelera es que la natillas no llevan claras, correcto?
i'm going to short the stock
How were you able to dine at Royal Railway? I’m going at the end of October but I can’t find anything
I'm going Thanksgiving weekend. Lmk if you find out

If your watching today i am going on this cruise tomorrow we are 1st class ❤
hopefully next year il be on this boat or icon of the seas.
Both great choices. Have you watched our Icon of the Seas review?
@@Eatsleepcruise1 I have yes. But sadly it's to expensive 😞😞. Like I can afford it over time but I refuse to spend that much money. Has to be at least half the price before I consider
The missed opportunity for RC to make him a duplicate of the bartender in the movie Passengers.
Can you just drink at the mason jar?
Going on this ship in the beginning of January, 3rd-5th
I can't imagine having a good time on a 3-4 day cruise. Back to back on a 3-4 day cruise is still the same itinerary.
Yeah it’s not enough time for an oasis ship, but it’s more geared to new cruisers.

Yes, it is a nice intro for new cruisers.
Same shows and same menus. But you get to visit Nassau! 😂 cruising on Utopia?

Simeon is definitely hilarious
2/3rd the price of Disney, 1/2 the value and doesn't include gratuities.
