its luck of the draw --happened to me once and was upgraded to a full suite on hal -----if there was a guaranteed sure way to get an upgrade and i knew how to do it do you think i would share that info with you guys

i have absolutely no expectations from a cruise director -- imo they do absolutley nothing to enhance my cruise

There was a couple aboard who each carried a Teddy Bear with them, everywhere, all day long. Whenever they sat down to eat or drink, the bears sat on the table and "shared" with them. Whenever they won at Trivia (which seemed like every day) the bears collected the prizes. I think the bears even had different outfits, including tux and formal for the formal nights. Everyone on board was familiar with the "bear people".

dont know if its the same couple but the one i met lives in or near portland oregon ----the man was the silent type but the woman carried a bear that wore a matching shirt to the couple --had a llife jacket during drill and wore a tuzx at dinner and she had it sitting on the table and kept trying to feed it off her plate-she did tell us that there was another bear in the cabin they was being punished for misbehaving ----her daughter and son in law was also on the ship but sat at a different table-----we figured that if the kids didnt want to sit with them neither did we and a 20 to the maitre d took care of that

. Can we arrive just before the ship leaves and just get on, or do we need to be there a couple of hours early like you need for international flights?

as posted you can most likely arrive 1 hour before the cruise but if you do you will miss a meal-----lol

. After It was decided that each couple, on a monthly rotating basis, would host a cruise themed gathering on the day of the month the ship was to depart.

we sailed last december with 2 other couples to the sea of cortes and we did the same thing --monthly dinner with each couple making a presentation on something for the cruise ---packing etc etc we even got silly and i gave out topics to rereported on such as the azipod engines, diesel over steam and the like---the reports were hysterical because they were all made up but they stuck to the topic ---when we finally sailed the trip was the fantastic culmanation of many fun evenings

 

i am the planner for the family and for anyone else travelling with me --also coordinate the sail away party with anyone i can find on a cruise board
