Cruise Passenger FED UP Over Upsells on Royal Caribbean!
Key Moments
Editorial Summary
A cruise passenger expresses significant frustration regarding the sales tactics employed on Royal Caribbean's Odyssey of the Seas. The creator reports feeling harassed by constant daily upselling attempts throughout the ship. According to the passenger, staff members frequently push the drink package or specialty dining upgrades during meals in the main dining room and the buffet. The pressure is also felt when simply walking past specialty restaurants. This persistent solicitation has led the passenger to eat meals in their cabin to avoid further sales pitches. While some observers suggest that passengers should simply decline the offers and continue walking, the creator and others argue that the frequency of these interactions is excessive. The video concludes with a call for Royal Caribbean to address and stop these aggressive upselling practices.
