Looks like they removed Jim Beam from the list- my go to.
-
I wonder if they are going to change Margaritaville on Harvest Cay over to the diner as well?

If you went to Roatan, Coxen Hole, did you notice alot of people at the port selling shore excursions? We are thinking of trying zip-lining, but don't want to book ahead of time.
As a solo traveler I walked to the port "gate", I was going to walk down the road to a bar I saw. The men at the gate trying to "get your business" were being way way too aggressive. The port had two men at either side of the gate, with guns, to keep the non-passengers out of the port area. I saw that and turned around and stuck in the port area, it didn't seem safe for me, by myself to walk outside that gate. The ONLY port I've ever felt that way.

I got a vibe pass on the Getaway. I was boarding group #1. It was right after they increased the price(March 2019). Several people in line backed out once they heard the price had increased. The following week, the Vibe had maybe a good group of 25 "regulars" at best. Usually when I was there, there were maybe 5-10 people at best.
I am not buying it for my next cruise.

Anyone know if the Chimay bottles in District Brewhouse are included?
They are $19.95 per bottle(or at least it was when I was on board), so it should be. -

I have done just this as I have an upcoming cruise in a few weeks, their reply has no compassion or explanation, they simply gave me a list of what is included now.
I have also now passed my concerns to a UK BBC consumer program called "Rip of Britain - Holidays".
The list is actually quite useful and shows what is now covered and I post it below FYI.
I know for a fact that Knob Creek is an upcharge drink, even though it is listed on this page.
-
What I don't understand, is Grey Goose(not that I really drink it often) is an upcharge now. Jameson(which I do drink), is $9.95- well under the $15 threshold.
At our local liquor store, a 1.75 bottle of each are exactly the same price. And that is retail pricing. But I guess supply and demand- more of a demand for Grey Goose than Jameson on board.
I'm still a little upset there are no decent bourbon's included, still. -

Thank you for your quick response.
I have enjoyed the Caskmate, but with my UBP, was looking to try the others on my upcoming Escape cruise this Sunday.
Wondering if they have any "whiskey tastings" onboard?

I did a Macallan scotch tasting at Maltings on the Bliss. It was $20. Well worth it IMO. I believe they do tastings at the duty free of the cheaper stuff like Jack Daniels, mainly trying to get you to buy it... -

Were you told that the Social was the place that they were sold at? It was reported on the boards that a few weeks ago on the Bliss they were sold at guest services and everyone that went to the Social got shut out. On my previous Escape cruises, they were sold at Headliners, which is the equivalent of the Social.
I was told at the Social. There were people there handling signups for laser tag still. Go karts unlimited passes were gone as well. There was a sign that said "VIBE SOLD OUT", so I'm fairly certain that is where they were being sold. -

It's possible that others (non-Haven but Priority) got passes before group #1 boarded.
It was my understanding that group 1 were priority guests. I'm Gold latitudes. Haven had their own section in the terminal, as did platinum, platinum plus. No ambassadors on board.
-
On the Bliss currently. Was boarding group #1. I was maybe the 40th passenger on board(behind Haven). Went directly to the social where they were being sold. They were already sold out. Not really disappointed, just wanted to experience it once. Maybe next time.
-
It was booked solid since the first day- won't even allow me to make a reservation on any of the onboard screens. I tried to do it as a standby in St Thomas, but it started raining and they closed down.

Following for dailies as well. Could someone ask in the roll call to see if someone there would be willing to take pics of the dailies and post them here?
I have them, will scan them and upload them on Saturday when I get home. Taking pics and uploading them each is too time consuming while on board. 😂

30mph is not fast(maybe for the smaller track on the ship it will be fun).
Karts at the local Motorsports park will do close to 60mph. After a simple video anyone is cleared(there are age restrictions) and full safety gear(jump suit, helmet, neck brace) you go out. They have a crew member lead the first couple laps, each progressively getting faster so you can learn the kart and the track. Accidents can and do happen...it's no different than being in a car accident however the neck brace limits the whiplash you'll get.

I don't know why, but my tags have never been any "color" other than lime. 5 cruises, all lime. I've been in different types of rooms, different ships, doesn't seem to make a difference.
-
Going to a MDR I typically will wear khakis and a collared button down shirt or a polo. I'll wear shorts and t-shirt to the buffet or O'sheeans.

I am self carrying off tomorrow. Last Breakaway trip I did it was an absolute nightmare getting off the ship and just as had once I got down into luggage area/customs area. I got in line to get off the ship at 8:45am, I didn't leave the pier till 11:30. I'm hoping this trip isn't so bad. Finding my luggage took me close to 20-25 minutes alone.

Use a VPN.
I don't have one right now but I'm definitely going to look into it when I get home. I used TeamViewer to remote into my desktop at home and played Spotify on that. TeamViewer allows audio and video across it.

I'm on the Breakaway right now. I got the unlimited internet package. It's not fast, but it is definitely usable. Since my last sailing in January they have now blocked the ports that are used by heavy data hogging apps- Netflix, Spotify, Pandora, YouTube, etc. I use Spotify on a regular basis, wanted to play some music when I'm in the shower, however I never downloaded any songs on my phone.

I'm on board. Went to see if I could check out my room but they have the fire doors shut so you can't get in. Getting a drink now.
