Haven't been on one, but had always considered this cheesy option as a possible getaway. Too bad that if you get a raw deal, you're stuck with being on a floating prison for the duration.
Whatever they're like, I certainly won't be going with Royal Caribbean! You gotta read about one experience here from The Consumerist, with closed pools and restaurants, casino shut down, tepid jacuzzis, cold showers, areas under construction, and even rooms with no running water.
Yikes!
Here's an excerpt from the Royal Caribbean people, after receiving this complaint, which started with the boat having been half a day late:
Nevertheless, we offer our sincere apologies that you were not aware of this delay and the goodwill gesture of a $20.00 onboard credit offered to assist with covering any lunch costs incurred while waiting to board the ship.
Was that like the customer service people just playing around, trying to piss him off? $20 for lunch? Seriously, I'd have rather just been denied. That guy spent nearly $4000 on the cruise alone.
Royal Carribean. Evil.
