Totally. What it feels like on the deck has absolutely nothing to do with what it’s like under the water.
Just like how at
Disneyland what it feels like standing there waiting for fireworks has absolutely nothing to do with what is happening above the tree level. At Disneyland you can watch the tallest trees to see how much they are moving, and any clouds in the sky, to judge if fireworks are going to happen (or continue). On a cruise you have to trust that the captains know what they are doing. The cruise staff want to get you on that island more than any family wants to get on that island.
it’s not bias, it’s knowledge.
I like Universal more than Disney and Royal more than Disney, so I’m hardly biased or an apologist, and still I know that you weren’t ripped off.
And Royal missed Coco Cay quite often. Tendering is miserable in rough water. Same on cayman.
missing the new rides should have given you a pass for the new rides. Missing the other rides would have righteously gotten you a more limited FP. Man, they tried to compensate you and you were not interested???
Eh, I’d love to hear from someone else who was there to find out what was said before I decide that the CD was actually joking about it
Agreed.
So you didn’t try to ride their new ride, eh? That’s down a LOT, and seems to close by 3 every day. RRR has had some issues.
You had good luck at Uni, and bad luck at WDW that you felt couldn't be assuaged by their compensating you. And everyone on the ship, including the captain and the vendors on shore, had bad luck with castaway. But you weren’t ripped off.
