Radience of the Seas last October. We were having trouble accessing it from the app so went to GS for a paper copy. No dice. Said that none were being printed. They even went searching to see if a few hard copies had been made but couldn't find any. Then they spent 10 minutes trying to bring it up for us on our phone but it just wasn't working so we all gave up. I'm sure they were glad to see us go away. Luckily, for the days before and after that, the compass worked fine on the app.

You can order drinks through the app on Princess. It was actually quite awesome!

Hey neighbour! That's crazy. I wonder if it was some sort of glitch? The cruise we booked a few months ago worked out at a fairly normal exchange rate.

I dont know about HAL but Princess has packages with drinks, gratuities and wifi, plus some extras all included - the cheapest is $60 per person per day more than their base fare. If you drink it's a really good deal.

Oh, how horrible. I'm sorry you went through that. That does make one pause.

As they say, a picture is worth a thousand words, so I hope that this works. I don't even know what to say about these except that if I tried to eat 2 of them in a day I'd probably explode. They look...not appetizing for my tastes.

Especially in the Solarium!

I completely understand. I just try hard to blank it all out and hope for the best because I really do love hot tubs.

Yeah, it's one of those things that I try not to spend very much time thinking about because I really do love hot tubs. But, just...ewwww.

The hot tubs in the Solarium are 16 and over but I don't think that there are age restrictions on the others. My husband jokes about the people sitting and drinking in the pools and hot tubs for hours without breaks every. single. cruise. At this point, I think he is just doing it because it amuses him to gross me out. 🤣

I think it also might be a bit of a self-perpetuating circle. They don't have enough room for MTD earlier than 6:45 because of all the people booking Early Dining, but many of those people are probably only booking Early Dining BECAUSE they can't get MTD until 6:45 which is too late for them.

Not needed for TA's effective today!

I think it has been now - here is what is currently showing when I just looked. No mention of TA's. Yippee! Q What are the pre-cruise testing requirements for my cruise? A Pre-cruise testing is no longer required to sail, with a few exceptions. At this time, only the following sailings have pre-cruise testing requirements: Cruises from the U.S. and Caribbean that visit Colombia Transpacific Sailings Cruises from Australia

Totally.

I think you might have misread the post - basenji56 was listing the elevator buttons as a con, not a pro.

The point everyone is making is that your 'solution' to the problem is not going to solve anything. I’m pretty sure you already know that so at this point I suspect that you're just trolling for fun. Rock on, I guess.

Okay, THAT is ridiculous. A croissant is not a course, it's part of your breakfast. Up until this post I have been thinking that it's no big deal but this is just silly. I'm hoping that they become a bit more relaxed about this rule before my October cruise. Sheesh.

I am apparently on the wrong side of the country for the peameal bacon (from BC) but would love to try it. You all have gotten me very interested. 🙂

I love back bacon (what you probably call Canadian Bacon), but this pealmeal stuff with the cornbread coating sounds a little odd. If I'm ever in southern Ontario I'll give it a try. Although my favourite is just the good old fashioned regular strips of bacon that you are used to.

I actually didn't and needed to google it. Turns out I'm from the wrong part of Canada to have experienced this type of back bacon. It sounds....interesting? My favourite Windjammer item is their breakfast hashbrown patties. Yum!

I see your point, but I think the heinous practice label usually gets applied to life necessities ( as you mentioned, like water, baby formula) A waterpark doesn't really fall into those categories so the outrage shouldn't be as high. Although the parents dealing with whining kids because they refused to buy the ridiculously priced waterpark tickets might disagree that it's not life and death. LOL!

Nah...you're lucky. It's not actually sold out. It was just an error and doesn't really exist. Even if you had jumped on it and bought the package last night you would just be waiting for your refund after the cancellation.

Yeah, it definitely used to mean a long time (I think the origin was that a hot minute could feel like a very long time) and now seems to mean a short time (with hot meaning rushed or fast instead of literally hot?). Language is weird. LOL!

Thanks! I think that I'll print out our description that lists it as a highlight and keep my fingers crossed.

Are you sure, Ken? We booked a three night dining package for the Odyssey months ago and it has always listed the 40% off bottles of wine discount as one of the features. We are not purchasing the drink package so I was definitely planning on using this perk. Is my cruise planner description lying to me? 😢
