When I tried to purchase a soda package on last year's cruise onboard, the crewmember told me they had to add both of us in the cabin. However, when done from the website before a cruise, I can add only one of us. Not sure if that's the way it is, or the on-ship staff were misinformed.

Is French butter really superior to all the other kinds? I've had butter in Paris and it was fantastic of course, but I'm curious how much difference there really is from other countries if they were side by side. My local groceries have Irish butter (whoever distributes for Kerrygold seems be doing a bang-up job), New Zealand butter, numerous "artisanal" US butters, etc. Trader Joe's has some butter from France. I feel like a proper taste test is in order!

Any idea if they are modifying future itineraries to reflect this? I'm just now looking at booking a cruise next year that will go to either Kirkwall (NCL) or Shetland (Princess). This could help me decide.

I'm mystified by people who shop on board, but to each their own. I imagine the casino is a good source of revenue as well.
