Itchy&Scratchy

yes, they most definitely were. But we don't like them.

People were always lined up to use it on Enchanted on our Nov cruise.

I'd just bring my own tazo tea - so much cheaper to use free hot water to make tea.

took one day last week to do a status match for my husband. Platinum on RCI to MCI's Silver. It looks like we are going to have to call them because that field is empty for my DH.

MSC has just raised their AI package price overnight, no warning.

he is not asking about routing or cancellation. He is asking about not getting the refund as cash.

we went on Jade in 2018 on a 10 day Southern caribbean itinerary. On day 3 Jade broke down and we had to go home. We'll never go on an old ship again. Ever. Also, NCL's food was bad.

awesome show, but it wasn't on the Allure in June 2022.

we found their regular (MDR and buffet) coffee completely undrinkable (on both Harmony and Allure). We brought our own instant Nestle instead. We are not even coffee connoiseurrs. So, I expect Oasis' non-specialty coffee to be undrinkable as well next April. I didn't quite like the iced coffee they made for me on the Allure (we have 2 coupons of 50% off for specialty coffee) - it was bitter and didn't have enough cream in it. I did like the same iced coffee on Harmony. It's called Mocha CreamIce. Maybe, they had better coffee.

Park Cafe on Allure had specialty coffees.

if you cruise multiple times a year and can forgo one beach day - sure, have at it. But we only cruise twice a year if that, so skipping a beautiful beach day just because "it's worse than some other beaches" doesn't seem like such a good idea.

cruising is so much more fun. Our family is a lot like yours - we are in our 40, one kid, my parents are in their 70s. They love cruising with us. Since we only have one kid, one cabin is all we need. That said, sometimes two cabins with 2 people in them are cheaper to book than a cabin for 4. You really have to check all the prices before booking.

I didn't think I did anything extra to link the accounts, but when I check the 3 of us in, I always use my Visa for all of us. This time we had $125 OBC, and I brought $400 worth of Princess gift cards with me, which I deposited to my account at Guest Services once the long lines have dissipated. I checked the folios daily on the app. The emailed folio for my son and DH has this line at the end of it: Folio to Folio Transfer: MRS ITCHY&SCRATCHY and their balances are transferred to my folio and then the OBC/Gift card credits are applied to them. My folio says: Folio to Folio Transfer: MR son of ITCHY&SCRATCHY and Folio to Folio Transfer: MR Husband of ITCHY&SCRATCHY

but when I get Mocha CreamIce (iced coffee), I don't ask for a double shot of espresso. It's a rather small plastic cup of coffee.

but it's not a DOUBLE. Medium coffee is not usually double the size of a small coffee. Even a large coffee is usually not double.

https://boards.cruisecritic.com/forum/308-private-islands/ basically, you can snorkel right around the wooden pier and there are a ton of fish there. Bring some hot dog or hamburger buns with you from the buffet, and they'll have a feast, while you are having the time of your life. Have somebody throw pieces of bread into water off of the pier so you don't have to deal with soggy bread while snorkeling.

good idea, thank you! I was eyeing it until I saw this thread.

Enchanted has coffee machines in the buffet (free brewed coffee), but dang it - they were broken half the time.

but it's not a "remote island in Africa" do they even celebrate Thanksgiving on Tenerife?

exactly what did you expect them to do? Run down to the nearest coffee shop? These people work for pennies and don't have any say in coffee selection. That's exactly what we do on RCI cruises - bring our own instant coffee.

it does for everyone. Just click cancel and login with the regular Princess login.

it looked right, but the taste was way off. Dunes tasted a lot more like the Midori Sour I've always gotten. Not a drinker at all, and we don't ever get a package - I only get one or two cocktails on a cruise, so I didn't want to get another one remade. room delivery is free. Hint-hint. order at different bars and find the bartender who makes it to your liking? I did.

Midori Sour made for me on Enchanted was the worst drink I've ever had. However, Dunes which has about the same ingredients was magical. If you like tart, I'd advise you to try an Ultimate Cooler. When you are on a ship, open the Princess app, click on Order, and go to Beverages. You can look at each beverage's ingredients to see what you'd like the best without actually ordering them. My hubs really liked Georgia Tea.

no, of course, not. And we are not as old as the majority of the cruisers were on this cruise. We are still under 50. 🙂 We even use knuckles to push elevator buttons. Paper towels to open doors. You know - regular precautions in public places.

we were on Harmony last Thanksgiving and also wore masks. RCI didn't have a sip-n-cover rule. It was just masks indoors unless actively eating or drinking. Everybody masked most of the time, crew did at all times, but quite a few cruisers ignored it outright, even in crowded places like theater and ice rink. However, we felt much safer covid-wise at that time, and that's the reason I booked a cruise for this TG.
