    On our September cruise we put in a minimum bid for a balcony from an inside. It was accepted a day or two before sailing. We received several invitations to events on the ship in someone else's names, the couple who cancelled last minute. And enjoyed their welcoming cookies and water bottles.

    I find that the more I cruise on a line, the more I get tired of their menu and food. We did 3 cruises on royal in 2022 and by the third it was boringly repetitive. Looking forward to an upcoming NCL trip at least for the change of pace. MDR is at least "good enough" on both.

    I hadn't seen it often until our last cruise. It looked like the bsgs got to the area of the ship jihhlighted on yhe tag , like port rear, and then dimped together. People had to search like when you disembark.

    I have had multiple bids accepted (bidding about $5 anove the minimum) when I was emerald. More about supply and last minute cancels.

    They have been testing reducing menu options in the dining rooms and changing the lobster night so that a person can get one larger tail and be charged for additional. The gluttons who would eat as many as ten are up in arms.

    I agree with you that one session of acupuncture can bring relief for chronic pain. It's an excellent alternative to Dr. Feelgood and his opioids. But even considering that one session would cure smoking? Not even close to realistic.

    They were referring to a video where the garage was full from a prior cruise and the garage accommodated additional disabled parkers. Those people want you to believe that the garage was completely full with ONLY disabled parkers. An implausible conclusion.
  8. billslowsky
    That video does NOT say that the garage is restricted to disabled only. The speaker in the youtube video says specifically that the garage was full from an Oasis cruise earlier in the week - but that disabled people arriving for the Adventure cruise a few days later would be accommodated in the garage. That's nowhere near the same thing.
  9. billslowsky
    Agree. The garage has NEVER had that restriction.

    It depends on the cruise director, we had it on 2 of 3 cruises last year.

    Then why title it that? And end with "What a rip off! " Enjoy the footprint analysis on your next cruise.
  12. billslowsky
    Fine, you go with that, it's perfectly reasonable to expect that a single session of acupuncture is a plausible way to stop smoking.
  13. billslowsky
    Acupuncture is considered an essential health benefit in many if not most states, especially as an alternative to opioid use for pain management. That also means it wouldn't cost $179 per session on the mainland. Don't post "Beware of Acupuncture onboard" simply because you didn't research it. Many people benefit from the procedure. Acupuncture isn't the problem here.
  14. billslowsky
    So why even make the post? Who actually thinks you can "cure" smoking with a single acupuncture session. Who needs to research that?
  15. billslowsky
    You can ask first. Did you actually think that one session was going to be effective?

    They will likely be assigned other work - like more cabins.

    The one ways can involve considerably more expense for flights and accommodations in Anchorage, and getting from Anchorage to the cruise or vice versa. In return, you get the additional opportunity to explore the main part of Alaska, including the Anchorage - Denali - Fairbanks areas.

    I'll crash a prom.

    And none since 2019.

    Thanks for the good news! Enjoy traveling on Margaritaville at Sea!

    Comparing the MDR on Royal to Ruth's Chris is unimaginable. The MDR has tablecloths and a head waiter? Lipstick on a pig.

    If you are traveling without her, they get added only to your "true" total, likely to be less than hers. When you travel again with her, you get the better status of hers and yours.

    Yeeeah... doesn't happen.
  24. billslowsky
    My math and vision are fine. It wasn't anywhere near 90% before COVID either. Hyperbole isn't effective.
  25. billslowsky
    I was on three Royal cruises in 2022. No one had any where near half of the people dressing up on "formal" nights. Your claim of 90% suggests poor vision or math skills.
