    Hello Copter! I just got your book. Your home state is my home state neighbor, I think it is why I love your humor. Hello to Marcus - congratulations on having a lifelong marriage - life's greatest blessing. What you said about theater here; entertainment WITHOUT a story line - spot on. I was surprised to hear this because of your long career in theater (book). Inspiration tab was interesting. You are my most favorite cruise content creator. No click bait, you present information quickly and with humor. Toot-Sweat.

    HELICOPTER - I think that everyone has different experiences. Majority of my food experiences are GREAT. I was on Symphony and my chicken was RAW when I cut into it. I didn't eat it and also just whispered to waiter it was uncooked. The entire cruise everyone was all over me about leaving a good review and is everything ok Miss. It was irritating BUT I get it they don't want bad reviews. I chalked it up to a one off experience and I am Loyal to Royal. I think the food is great and have learned things I love and things I can leave and the best part is I don't have to cook it. Which is exactly how vacation should be!! Love your content!

    🚁 I loved Anthem of the Seas out of NJ. My only negative was the food in the main dining room, but we ended up eating specialty dining for dinner and other places for breakfast/lunch. I have 2 celebrity ships booked for 2025, as my kids are 12/14 currently, and I actually asked to go on a ship with fewer kids. We also went on WOnder of the Seas on a school break and it was insane.

  • @mim3097
    @mim3097 11 годин тому

    I have to agree with the reviewers assessment of Quantum. My first time cruising with RCI in December, and it was almost my last. Here in Australia RCI is a lot more expensive, and what they deliver just doesn't justify the extra cost. The service on board was amazing, but land based service for anyone outside the US is appalling. The food was very average, multiple on board features were out of order including the observation pod. Some things were specific to Quantum, others were just RCI policy in general. I might give Voyager a try when it comes to Australia, but I'd need to find a very good deal.

    We went as a big family on Independence in 2014. My SIL is very "upscale" and thought the food in the MDR was "wedding food". We thought it was good. She actually asked for Grey Poupon at dinner. But then we went on Symphony in 2019 and noticed a decline in food quality and availability (hours and selection). So my husband has said no more Royal but your Brilliance tour makes it very tempting.
    We live under a helicopter flight path for our provincial health system. Summer weekends are very busy.

    I was just on the Quantum in April on a repositioning cruise from Austrian to Hawaii. Not my favorite ship but not bad, I think it will be better after it's upgraded. The staff and food were excellent on that cruise. The problem is very limited dining options for a ship of this size and all of the China cruise market venues need to be torn out. There are way more dining options on an old Carnival Conquest class. I absolutely hated the Brilliance of the seas, very limited dining options, broken toilet in out cabin. I did a Panama canal full transit and couldn't wait to get off of that tug boat and I would make it a point to never sail on it again. The new pushy attitude with the Royal cruise survey makes me want to abandon the line all together.

    I’m surprised that you have not heard of the ultimate world Cruise. There was a whole TikTok section on this. It was both hilarious and sobering for the issues. People were saying they were experiencing on the ultimate world cruise.
    We loved the anthem of the seas when we last cruised. You are correct the ship should match the type of cruiser you are. Sometimes people forget that going to the buffet. Everyone tries to go at the same time. This is problematic because there are only so many tables available at a time. And congregating and just chilling out in the wind jammer during busy times is not good.
    Morgan, you’re saying Caribbean wrong it’s pronounced

  • @laplet8262
    @laplet8262 15 годин тому

    We have our fourth cruise on Quantum of the Seas coming up next Spring. It is a great ship. Perhaps one reason that it has a lower overall cruiser rating is that it has spent a lot of time in Australia and Asia and cruisers there tend to give lower ratings. I have heard that Aussie cruisers don't like gratuities and tipping and don't like to give compliments. I am sure that varies a lot by person but that seems to but what surveys have shown.

    • @mim3097
      @mim3097 11 годин тому

      Incorrect. We don't tip. Employers pay employees an adequate wage, and factor that into what they charge their customers. Most of the rest of the world is the same. I'm sorry, but if RCI is going to base ships here in Australia, profit off of our landscapes and scenery, they can bloody well adapt to our market and culture while they're here. Carnival and other lines seem to have no problem doing it.

Below average, especially in the (over rated) upcharge venues. "Chops" and "Jamie's Italian". The "Italian" was by far worst, avoid!!
