Thanks.

Sailing on Discovery in a few days, have some OBC to use. How much are the specialty restaurants? Not easily found by me on the website.

Does Harmony have an escape room? Is it worthwhile?

On one of our best cruises, the poor waiter continued to mix up my meal with my cruising friend’s meal. Of course, we are both named Bill. This went on EVERY night until the last. We decided to switch places after ordering to see if we would get our appropriate meals - NOPE. Great fun and lots of laughs ( service was excellent despite this).

Future booked cruises with All Included? Tips no longer included.

So, when is the Vegas-style daily "cruise activity fee" ( resort fee) coming??? -
@Jim_Iain, I appreciate the kind response to my attempt at humor on your statement about eating “Steamed Muscles”. I just hope some day to be on the same cruise as you and Iain so I can walk and talk with you for awhile, with your permission, of course. Of course, I’ll only be walking 5 miles…Iain, I would want to hear some stories from you as well.

NOW we know where Jim gets the energy to do those 10 mile walks every day ...

As food options in MDR, Luminae, and Oceanview decline, so too will options at Cafe Al Bacio ( if they already haven't) and specialty restaurants... Soon there will be only one option.....SOYLENT GREEN !!!!!!

Agree. Mostly X cruiser here, have done Princess on Panama Canal transit cruise ( before the new locks), doing another Princess cruise along the Pacific Coast as X now rarely has a cruise there. -

You would have to staff with a real pharmacist (or 2) if wanting to sell meds ( antibiotics, COVID-19 meds, etc.) and there would go 1/2 of your profit margin... -

How about bringing back the "midnight buffet" concept for a fee? -
But why should it ? Why should anyone pay someone in service BEFORE the service is rendered? Give me a properly made and tasty cocktail and I (may) reward you with a tip commiserate to the service and quality provided.... I don't get paid extra (any) beforehand for a surgery I perform ( OB-GYN).

Quick check on my app for my upcoming cruise ( with Whinenowine, so very excited to sail with a "Celebrity"!) shows that the Caymus red is the most expensive listed red wine by the glass in any venue, including the specialties. There may be other wines that are not listed on the app that are available ( hope so !). The "best" red wine is in the taste of the beholder. I like Caymus. I also liked several of the listed red wine on the app when I was on the Silhouette TA in April. Would strongly suggest trying other red wines to see what you like.
