  1. Buy a Vision model and change the name to Rhapsody. 😜
  2. Were you in the DL or CL? We were in the CL.
  3. We may have also been delayed waiting for a clear channel to pass the Ever "Grounded".
  4. On my late March sailing there were some staff shortages (mostly bar waiters) and supply shortages, but they seemed to re-supply at Port Canaveral. The staff was pleasant and seemed to be happy to serve. The only issue we had was that it took 3 or 4 attempts before they finally acknowledged and fixed the cabin's lack of hot water.
  5. We sailed at the end of March (8 day Bahamas). We arrived around 11:15 for our 11:00 check-in. No wait to go inside (11:30 check-in line was held outside). Quickly through security (had a D+ "bypass" 🙂 ). Separate check-in line for suites and Pinn, but just a single line for lower tiers. Line moved somewhat slow, but I think we were on the ship shortly after 12 noon.
  6. Anthem also had fruit cups and yogurt parfaits. And smoked salmon, etc.
  7. YMMV. I am spending no more, and often less, on each of my post-restart cruises. I can live with some minor "issues" at the prices I'm paying.
  8. Yeah, haven't seen a US based ship at 6 PM for a long time. For me, 5:30 is too early, but 6 would be okay. I did do 8 PM late seating for a while, but that become too late for me. I now just schedule MTD everyday at 6:30 or 7. ETA: I just did a mock booking for June 19th Explorer and dining times are 5:30 and 8.
  9. Same for the Anthem TA (arrived at 12:15 pm). The only backup I've encountered was Enchantment (Baltimore) in late March. Arrived on time, quickly through security, but then a slow line for check-in (not in Suite or Pinn).
  10. This has been my experience on 7 pre-COVID Grandeur cruises and 1 post-restart Enchantment cruise. I don't recall ever seeing more than 2 people working (or separate lines) at Cafe Lattitudes.
  11. No issues on the 11 night TA from Cape Liberty to Southampton.
  12. You can't get stale cookies at the Windjammer. 😁
  13. Still waiting for my EN block from Mar 25th. Also waiting for my Anthem block from Dec 31st (EN loyalty ambassador requested again).
  14. Up to $13 included > $13 pay the difference + 18% grat on the difference.
  15. It actually is in their control. Not enough supplies or staff to serve the number of passengers? Reduce the passenger count.
  16. The sale is not 50% off each person, it's buy one (at $151), get one at 50% off ($75) = $226/2 = $113 per person.
  17. The color varies by ship class. Royal suite class ships (Oasis / Quantum) have colors for Sea, Sky, and Star. Pinnacle cards are silver/gray.
  18. The US price for DBP is more than I paid for the 14 day cruise (food, lodging, entertainment, transportation, etc.). Ridiculous!
  19. Link: https://lloydspharmacy.com/pages/covid-19-lateral-flow-test
  20. I was "stuck" at 163 points when cruising halted. Now at 309 points. 🙂 Four "solo" cruises (with no solo supplement!) for a total of 31 days (124 points) + 11 days shared cabin (22 points). One more double points cruise in the fall (14 days = 28 points).
  21. Not my 1st cruise, but my 2nd, 3rd, 10th, 11th, 12th, 22nd, 26th, and 34th cruises. 🙂
