I don’t know how many times I have suggested that both pre and post pandemic to no avail however with someone from the UK now heading up Hotel Operations in Miami I’m a little more hopeful he understands speciality vs run of the mill G and T.

UK prices are up again this morning- I suspect ahead of a “promotion” so they stay the right side of the law.

And once located always have your +tonic in the same bar

Same at Buenos Aires

It was on Quest and Journey recently

I don't think she is 🙂

Medical expenses may be automatically billed back to the insurer in the UK however flights, hotels etc it’s the same as the UK. You have to pay and claim back. This can be rather expensive (last year we needed to pay £12k in that connection, all eventually reimbursed) so one of our cards we bring has a high unused limit. I can’t see any valid reason in this day and age in many parts of the world not to use cards. And certainly I do as asked at check in to avoid delaying others behind. If they ask for my card, they get it. I saw someone decline to do so in Norway and the whole checking in got stuck with supervisors needed etc

You might also have enjoyed the game at teatime today for other reasons 🙂

Speak to your travel agent they have all the pricing

Watch out for the service doors on Deck 6. There’s a few of them that seem to be used quite a lot by staff and can slam a bit (well certainly on Onward). We also found if we were too near the aft we were sharing the attendant (there’s now only one) with the big suite that got priority and in our case had demanding occupants. It seemed the single attendant was really stretched there - much more than the team on Deck 7 and 8 (he was very good just over stretched)

For the extra I would take a V2 at least.

They need to buy special licence feeds for big sporting events. I know it ran into £000s to get the World Cup games. It’s not something they can fix onboard if the game isn’t being shown within their regular package

Yes they are. I suppose the distances involved mean sea days. I’m ok with a few sea days. I think it’s 5/16 days

The inaugural was originally late June but was pushed back once before. You would have thought guests on 2nd September would have been clear of problems

Yes we did this both for packages we bought and for promotions given and had our loyalty discount applied. No need to do this on Day 1 we only did it from a few days in

I hope they look after affected guests (as opposed to hangers on and influencers) better than they did with their even later cancellation of Explora 1 last year

Yes ours was a booking promotion package that we upgraded

They are building a strong new team

We fired the gun on Monday when we got notification. We are going to have to think tactically about flights but from the UK we’ve discovered flying east first even as far as Istanbul brings up good African prices

Some super itineraries and new ports being offered. They are online now (communications are also being sent out, they started with the highest loyalty group first then are moving down)

No soda is available its canned - usually Royal Club or equivalent. The ship also carbonates water but sadly I have an addiction for San Pellergrino, Perrier and Evian

I have just checked with work and they are investigating as the pop up blocker should be removing it

Well if anyone is looking at this from Cruise Critic please get rid ASAP. What else is this "intruder mining?? It is beyond a joke and is doing your site no favours. At least on other social sites where I share cruise information my viewing is not intruded on like this. Obviously someone is looking at these posts as mine was moved from one of the forums to this general site. But will anything be done about it??????????

I have a pop up blocker on my browser but it makes absolutely no difference. It is a very fierce blocker set up by a work client who is security paranoid

You overlook the fact that to get a decent sparkling water you have to have the Ultimate Package.
