Not all cell phone providers will though. Verizon users need to be connected to cell service to use a hotspot.

In my opinion it does make a difference. A staff person accepting an invitation to join passengers in their cabin may be a violation of employment protocol. If he followed them or somehow tracked them to their cabin, it’s much more worrisome. You are welcome to your own opinion of course.

I’d like to know how he ended up in their room after they left the casino. Did one of the group invite him to come with them or did he ask if he could go with them or did he just show up after they were there?

If I’m paying a discounted rate or have a gift certificate, I always add to the gratuity to at least bring it back to the gratuity on the normal price

I’d also want to make sure that I have documentation if a bill appears for the medical treatment.

You and someone else in your party can each make a reservation for a table for 6 at the same time each night in the app. You can’t request tables next to each other ahead of time but you can make that request of the dining room manager or hostess once you are onboard. It may only be impossible though on the first night depending on the time you request. Stopping by early for example, with a request for 8:00 is more likely than finding availability of two large tables next to each other on the spot.

I stay logged in and haven’t had it pop up using Safari on my phone

I think people who are disappointed are much more likely to leave a review than those who got exactly what they expected and enjoyed it. My guess is that the vast majority of people are perfectly satisfied with their cruises, but didn’t have an experience that was so exceptionally good that they write a review. Making comments in a forum you frequent takes much less effort.

I’ve seen people weighed for helicopter tours and horseback/mule rides.

I like the deeper balconies on the hump for the shade. I’d pick that every time.

On my current cruise that visited Princess Cays on the second day, the following day was a sea day and the first formal night. You can see which nights are scheduled as formal nights in the ship’s schedule under “Journey” in the app. Every evening will show either “casual” or “formal” portraits. I’ve seen it populate as much as a couple of months before a cruise.

If you’ve asked for that, it’s great.

In my experience it depends. I’ve seen it allowed, but they were very strict in the tiny ports in Greenland about only allowing Elites to access the tenders from the lounge. It’s probably more likely in a place like Princess Cays or Belize where they are running large tenders as opposed to smaller ports. We generally just get in line for tickets when we travel with people who are not Elite.

Two plus cruise packages can be a better value at $120 per day than a stand alone plus drink package for the adult ($76) , wi-fi ($24.99 for one device) and crew appreciation for two. ($36).

There’s no sight quite as sweet as seeing those little faces peering at you first thing in the morning!

The terminal is closed until noon today due to a Coast Guard inspection

The terminal building is scheduled to open at 12:00 today due to a Coast Guard inspection

I find it’s more convenient to just park offsite in that situation. I use Park By the Ports. You can save a bit by using One Stop Parking to book https://www.parkbytheports.com/ https://onestopparking.com

You can see which nights are scheduled as formal nights in the ship’s schedule under “Journey” in the app. Every evening will show either “casual” or “formal” portraits. You can also see when the champagne waterfall is scheduled as an indication. I’ve seen it populate as much as a couple of months before a cruise. Formal nights are never on the first or last night and are usually, but not always, on sea days.

I’ve seen age restrictions for scuba diving excursions and believe they are enforced. If you go on this excursion knowing you are over the age limit, or worse, lie about your age and something goes wrong, my concern would be whether you’ll be covered by insurance.

Pellegrino is normally available on all ships and they had it on the Caribbean Princess a few months ago. I was offered Perrier on a cruise when they were out of Pellegrino in the MDR last year but I can’t remember which ship it was.

While I understand your frustration, the policy is pretty typical of travel loyalty programs whether it’s cruise lines, air lines, hotels, or car rentals. I’ve never heard of points being awarded for cancelled reservations. Hope you heal quickly!

Offers can be received at the end of the cruise or appear later under Onboard Credits in your account. . Generally an email is received about those but not always. There is no stated formula for Come Back and Play offers received onboard. In my experience, 5000 points might get an offer for an inside cabin and maybe $250 in free play while something around 15000 points might yield a balcony cabin and $600 in freeplay. Those same points might get nothing though. It’s unusual now to see offers that include the Plus or Premier Packages without getting a lot of points, maybe enough for a mini suite. It doesn’t seem to matter how you play or whether you win or lose, just how many points you accrue. 3 USD = 1 point on slot machines. How it‘s calculated on table games seems impossible to understand

Yes, you can order drinks from your server in the MDR and they are included on the drink package.

They have Sprite Zero onboard now. I’ve seen only Diet Coke
