RCCL implementing fees for Johnny Rockets
On 03/09/2004 1:59 PM Bill C scrawled with a big red tube of lipstick:
I just read on www.Cruise Critic.com that Royal Caribbean will now be charging a $3.95 fee for eating at Johnny Rockets. The fee will also be for take out orders. The fee started with the Mariner of the Sea this week and will start March 13 on the Navigator of the Sea. Of course the reason for the charge is the same one they use all the time, "to manage demand for the restaurant". Sorry if this was already posted. Bill Jonny Rockets sux bigtime at the local shopping mall. Why oh why would anyone want to eat at one on a cruise? -- ________ To email me, Edit "xt" from my email address. Brian M.

RCCL implementing fees for Johnny Rockets
"RTCReferee" wrote in message ... Gregory C. Read" lid wrote: I've mentioned this before, but the price of a drink doesn't have much to do with the cost of the liquor. For example, let's say they buy a 1 liter bottle of liquor for $22 wholesale on land. They will probably charge $5.00 or more per drink. You can get 22 drinks from that liter or a total of $110 from the $22 bottle. Now let's say they get that bottle for FREE. If they still want to make the same amount of money, they would now charge $4.00 per drink. That's not a really big difference. And of course, they won't get the bottle for free. I'm just pointing out the extreme. When a $ 4.00 drink charge gets increased by $1.00, as in your example, that's a 25% increase. The 15% gratuity is calculated on top of the 25% drink price increase. It all adds up to a BIG DIFFERENCE. I was giving you the extreme case. In reality that $22 bottle is probably $11 or only $.50 per drink difference. -- Greg lid (Remove the '.invalid' twice to send Email) |

RCCL implementing fees for Johnny Rockets
Just thought you should all know. I got a rather irritating e-mail response
from Royal Caribbean when I complained about the $3.95 for Johnny Rockets. They claim it is just a "test" to see the popularity of the restaurant over the next 8 weeks. However, they made it clear that even though there are no immediate plans to continue with this charge after the 8 weeks, it is possible that the fee will not be removed. The message keeps mentioning all the other "free" dining options available. . .is it really "free" when you have paid thousands of dollars in cruise fare? Maybe my loyalty to RCCL is misplaced. So can someone please tell me, how is the food and service on the Princess line? "Bill C" wrote in message ...

Not to mention charges for premium ice cream and premium orange juice. If you are looking for a line with no extra charges, you might want to set your sights a bit higher than Princess. How about Silversea or Seabourn? Any of the major lines (Cunard, Princess, NCL, Celebrity, Royal Caribbean, Carnival, Costa, etc.) are going to have extra tariff restaurants and plenty of incentives for you to spend your money onboard. These lines are all using onboard revenue to make up for low ticket prices. Good luck! Ernie |

Ray,
I was given to understand that the money charged in the alternative restaurants was not for the food but for the service. -- DG in Cherry Hill, NJ "Ray Goldenberg" wrote in message ...
