DUCHESSRN

You can call the room attendant on the phone from your cabin , the number is listed on the phone. Shows are advertised on the print out patter that comes to your room about 8pm every night . Detergent you can buy on Board in the Launderette .

The balconies on the Sun Deck 17 are larger if you want a regular cabin .

I promise it depends on your age !!!! One direct flight from LAX at 73 takes me around 4 days ....25 years ago I just blew through it . I find coming back worse .

We just off Discovery Pre cruise purchase on line was $140 , on board price was $169 for 7 days . There was a daily Sea Day sign up sheet to use area , walk ins may not find a lounger unless after 5pm.

Discovery has far less stuff to me ,expensive clothes Love Boat Clothes ,Gildan brand . Pandora charms ,big beauty era as usual . They had a few Louie Vittan ,I did not see people buy much .I heard guests requesting souvenir cups for Soda and Model Ships , none to be had and no Stanley Bears. We went on the Majestic and there was the biggest watch shop you have even seen ,never saw anyone in there either . None of the $10 sales on our last few trips . T Shirts sold outside the Buffet on one day ,that was in ,I may have seen the inch of gold also.

Depends which ship you are on , we were just on Discovery and shops not great . Ruby Princess had much better shopping and sales.

You are right , sorry .

Thats about it . There is nice seating at Good Spirits if you get there early enough to get a window seat. Horizen Court is great place to get a table by window .

Thank you ,we go on Regal in October for the Repo to Galveston.

We just docked .

On Discovery , have not had one and see no lines .

I think it was $ 132 for 4 devices for 2 weeks , the lady who helped us in Internet Cafe was also a dancer in shows ….said she was giving us a good deal !! No idea if that was true.

I am on the Discovery also , we do not have package as I am Diabetic. The chocolate cake looks like what used to be on room service , Grandmas Chocolate Cake . I believe it was in buffet also 2 layers instead of 3. grandmas Chocolate cake in the buffet is now a rather anemic looking oblong desert. I wonder how long this desert thing will last , lots of travelers have health issues. chocolate dipped strawberries would be a great option.

We got 6 Diet Coke and cans of Tonic , yuk to Tonic . Like you several calls .

On our second week on Discovery , mini bar situation is disappointing . Also no deserts on room service . Only Elite perk left seems to be getting on Tender and internet discount . Royal at Christmas we were treated like royalty … this is a very different experience .

No consideration for Diabetics either.

Correct no deserts , deserts in buffet repetitive .No chocolate cake . Much confusion over many things on board concerning new packages .

I am so confused every member of staff says something different , but the majority say Mini Bar can only be exchanged for soda or beer , Diet Soda is fine for us. I will check Ocean Compass for next bit of B2B thank you . Poor hubby no more deserts on room service he loved the chocolate cake.

I am also on board , the little things for Elite have gone . Blue bags , no toiletaries … not a deal breaker . We were told we had swopped Mini Bar for coffee card , not so charged for coffee the last 3 days . Again we can afford to buy coffee but Guest Services were little help , we are on board next week and they suggested we buy the non alcohol package at a rediculous price . Ports very nice , weather cooler than usual . Gave up Dining Room after first night , 2 hours still waiting for desert so left . Buffet OK if you like an Italian Bar and Indian bar lunch and dinner . Today they did have Sushi Bar. I wondered what had changed since our last cruise on this beautiful ship last October … oh yes it was the Love Boat cruise extra staff and buffet was amazing .just observations feel lucky to be able to cruise .

At GS now whale watching as we come into Cabo ….yes they are complaining about their computers .

Yes they did for this week and next week….only issues so far is we have soda package and keep getting charged for Soda ,crew a little confused about the soda card .

On Discovery stopped mine ,no problem .

We are on Discover at the moment , we were able to exchange mini bar for Coffee Card .The Soda pkg was purchased a while ago . In the past we have had the Package …much easier I must say ,as an Insulin Dependant Diabetic juice and deserts are off limits . We plan on having one drink a day which is fine for us.

The adult pool Deck 17 below the Sanctuary is nice if you can get a spot . I would like to try the Sanctuary but have never been able to get on board in time.

Thank you all.
