Creator's Key Takeaways

Royal Caribbean made a change to the perk package on the Oasis class cruise ships and it's got some some cruisers a little out of sorts

the perks are really cool the one time that we cruised on an oasis class ship the Oasis of the Seas we had a central park balcony a Park View balcony and it was nice to have those extra perks

I'm glad that that is the way that Royal Caribbean went and we see it with other cruise lines doing that also but that's just my opinion

this begs the question what should the cruise line do in that circumstance we've seen it approached a couple different ways

Creator's Tips & Advice

βœ“If you have a cruise booked with Royal Caribbean and are affected by the perk change, contact your travel agent or Royal Caribbean to choose between the old perk or a $50 onboard credit by the cutoff date.
βœ“Cruise lines should honor existing bookings when making policy changes, similar to how Royal Caribbean grandfathered in customers.
