This doesnt suprise me....having cruised Radisson since 2001, I have noticed a trend to make the line more profitable and that they consider the passengers who go are so well off financialy that they wont balk at the errosion of service and the inflation of price. They feel I think they have it made in the shade and have us hooked..... on that we shall see.
I say this after being on the Mariner for 34 days recently and seeing way higher prices and elimination of many services..... Radisson dear friends is entering a era of " lets max the bucks". With the exception of food service and cabin service the other services like reception and Travel desk have adopted not a cant do attitude , but a "won't do attitude", to even simple requests. It was very telling to see and experience.
So too it may be with a tier system.....
