    The only benefit to the app that I see is being able to pick your arrival time w/o having to fill out the rest of the info first. Otherwise I use the website for the rest of check-in. But overall, it's totally a preference thing. Both the app and website do the same things.

    And none are wrong. It all depends.

    If you can pull off 11 nights, then do it.

    I think it's essentially a card/reading room now

    N/A stuff is still lumped into the deluxe package. I haven't seen N/A wine, though have seen N/A sparkling wine I've never seen any N/A spirits on board.

    We still don't know the context of the failure. It may well be purely administrative from a paperwork perspective. It could just be a trivial thing, but not technically to spec, so it failed certification. A real PITA for new ship certification though.

    Still no true detail on what the issue is. But it sure doesn't sound like it's an issue of any concern for vessels currently sailing.

    Could be medical. Could be some customs issue with the dockworker strike causing some disarray with the paperwork.

    I've found the MDR to be dark at times. Some lightening would help. Just as it's not lightning doing the lightening.

    I've never found the mattresses to be a problem.

    So they're putting a Chromecast in all cabins?

    Jesus was on the maintenance team since he was a carpenter.

    Still no one else reporting this other than FT or outlets referencing the FT article. Tells me all I need to know. The issue is purely a certification one for a new build, not an actual safety issue.

    It's not worth it if it's more than a couple dollars more than internet.

    We got invited on Jewel in March. Best bridge tour I've done. The 2nd officer giving the tour was very knowledgeable and the Captain even joined in and took some Q&A.

    Yes and no. It's basis is still valid in many ways, but, not for many cruising scenarios.

    No, it's free. It used to be a common thing before the restart. Now they only do it if enough people ask.

    Remember, you don't *NEED* a drink package to drink. Buying drinks a la carte may well be cheaper for you.

    Cruisehive picked up the FT story, but also offered nothing additional. They too have become more clickbaity lately.

    When an article starts out with strong words like "shockwaves" then has absolutely zero detail or specificity to the problem and uses "unnamed sources" well, I'd like something a bit more specific.

    I'm still waiting for a report on this other than Financial Times to provide some real detail on the issue, not some reporter throwing out words like "shockwaves" and getting the likes of Jim Walker all excited.

    There are dozens of articles on google about Coco Cay
