Things Royal Caribbean does that really bother me

Key Moments
Editorial Summary
The creator discusses several aspects of Royal Caribbean's operations that he finds problematic despite his overall fondness for the cruise line. He begins by criticizing the inconsistent enforcement of existing rules, specifically citing dress codes, smoking and vaping policies, and check-in times. He argues that failing to enforce these policies penalizes rule-following passengers. The creator also addresses recent financial cutbacks, noting that while reduced housekeeping was understandable during the pandemic, the company should now focus on providing more value to guests, especially regarding surcharges for Star Class passengers. Furthermore, he highlights a lack of transparency regarding how casino loyalty offers are distributed and claims that the promised advanced booking benefits for Crown and Anchor members are not effectively implemented. Finally, he expresses disappointment regarding the company's perceived lack of loyalty to certain home ports, such as Baltimore and Boston, as they shift deployments to other locations. He concludes by inviting viewers to share their own grievances with the cruise line.
