Royal Caribbean Guest Mistakenly Charged Nearly $100,000 For Specialty Dinner

A guest on Royal Caribbean’s Symphony of the Seas was in for a shocking surprise when he discovered he was charged nearly $100,000 for a dinner at the ship’s Italian specialty restaurant.

Alex and his wife Alicia had a typical dinner at Jamie’s Italian restaurant on the mega ship, and then discovered they had been charged over $98,000 for the meal. The couple had already purchased the ship’s dining package, which includes multiple nights of specialty dining during the sailing.

The error occurred because the guest’s ID number was typed into the gratuity box rather than the correct dollar amount. Royal Caribbean, as expected, reversed the charge.

The incident happened during a seven-night eastern Caribbean voyage out of Miami earlier this month.
