  1. Next time, ask for the beds to be separated and see what happens.
  2. Yes, they have phone agents but the answers they sometimes provide may not be so good.
  3. The issue seems to have been getting that request to the ship/steward. Not sure calling will make that process any more reliable than the previous online option where the feedback suggests it didn't get to them very often.
  4. The entry ones at Bayonne I described were removed pre-COVID. With the COVID check in protocols, even sorta back to normal now, it’s just not possible to do what was happening in Bayonne back then.
  5. You have the right link - instead of giving you that error, that stuck swirl might be the new norm when RU is not available (for a variety of reasons).
  6. If you know for sure you'll buy $x amount of stuff in the planner, buy that much OBC. Then, if you need to cancel/re-buy because prices went down, you don't have to wait as the OBC is immediately available upon cancellation.
  7. If you tell the staff directing traffic at toward the head of line (stay in left lane), they may let you cut through the alternate drop off lane (to skip the regular drop off line).
  8. Yes, that was an option that's no longer there. You now simply ask the cabin steward during the first encounter.
  9. Not sure if other ports had it, but pre-COVID in Bayonne, they had facial recognition to help the check in staff. As you walked by the unit, it prompted the check in person about 30 ft ahead and pulled up your details. That's when 10 min from car to ship was a normal thing.
  10. Do a lot of searching and reading. Or, you can see most of that info in the app.
  11. Very unlikely hurricane season has anything to do with homeporting location.
  12. Refundable OBC goes back onto the card securing the on-board account or you can cash it out via the casino slot machine.
  13. Stick with what has worked for you - don't change your routine; certainly not for one cruise with one cruise line.
  14. Unlikely, the equipment is probably similar but reception within the ship could vary wildly. Unlike on land where the hand off between cell towers is pretty good when you move, around the ship that may not be the case.
  15. More money to be made homeporting elsewhere.
  16. Read some of the Florida departures threads.
  17. There might be a bulb out there but to read comfortably I would.
  18. This might depend on how good your eyes are at reading in somewhat low light conditions.
  19. @dwHokie you may want to limit the pics and spread them across several posts- folks on a ship or with limited bandwidth may appreciate it.
  20. It varies by ship and maybe even the person at the counter.
  21. Welcome to CC. Hallway noise could be an issue at almost any location, perhaps a bit more with this cabin.
  22. See post #181. Don't expect those speeds long term - likely still testing for a while.
