But if someone on the Roll Call files a Report, the posts will at the minimum be removed and if the abuse is flagrant a GR will be given

What’s a GR?

I can also add that Ubers are super  cheap and plentiful in Buenos Aires!

I’ve found her very responsive. I emailed her about a problem excursion on our last cruise. I’d emailed customer relations several times and got nowhere. Erin responded within 24 hours and resolved the issue within a week.

I just got a response from Erin and she said that they will apply the 4 free nights to the cruise I requested! She said she would send a confirmation when it is done. And I imagine that I will get a new invoice from my TA. I am very happy!!

They don’t seem to be well advertised. On the last cruise, they were done at the time the ship departed. Just a small line item on the ship newsletter that would be found in your cabin. No one came.  

Oh, too bad! I think the roll calls have to be proactive about letting people know about when they are likely to occur 

We have an off ship one in Gibraltar

Unless the cost has risen and they lose other perks

True. All things to consider!

Sadly once you’re paid in full you cannot transfer to a TA. You would need to cancel and rebook at the current rate and pay a cancellation fee 

BUT, the cancellation fee is modest if the poster lives in the US, compared to the $900 savings from the TA

I just emailed Erin at Loyalty. Nothing ventured, nothing gained!

@Stem to Stern, would you mind giving out the email address for Loyalty again? Did you book through a TA?

There must be some things that are important to you.  Shall I reply the same way then?

Not tonic water!

It depends on which Gin you are mating it with.  Fevertree has a very helpful chart:

Oh for god’s sake. Maybe just stick with Schweppes and be done with it?

I booked a Princess cruise for a hot minute, before I cancelled it and booked an Azamara one with a better itinerary. But before I did, I was treated to their app experience, which was such a pleasure. How hard could it be?

And btw, my (fully refundable) deposit was credited back to my credit card in about 48 hours.

Sadly, we’ve never sailed in a suite, and happily, we’ve never experienced any friction in the laundry room 😊

It’s also very easy to use the self service laundry. We just set a timer on our phones and go about our business and come back, throw stuff in the dryer, set timer and before you know it, it’s done 

@aliaschief, have so enjoyed your “taking us along” on your grand adventure!

We go to Taormina in September. What is the Hoho? We are looking forward to seeing Taormina for the first time. 

HOHO stands for hop on hop off bus. Tours that are available in a lot of cities - inexpensive and an easy way to see the major attractions.

Yes, V2’s on deck 7, either forward or aft. We usually stay in the aft ones

We have been using them for years. Never put in the dryer. Just came back from hiking in GSMNP. One day we did almost 10 miles, 165 flights steps & almost 22000 steps. Darn tough socks used every day when hiking- love them.

Well, you can feel safe to dry them. They will cheerfully replace them should they wear out

Will you pay for My clothes? Pants are over $100, darn tough socks $25

Not to worry about the Darn Tough socks! They are a good old Vermont company and are guaranteed for life. And are true to their word. My husband just cashed in recently on three pairs!

Approx. 160. So many new things have been done that would not be possible with a full complement of guest.

Lucky you!

Incremental cost cannot be high when ordered in high volumes so hope that the new CEO will satisfy the perennial passenger demand for fevertree varieties to be available.

Or at least have Schweppes as the default

Yep have tried fevertree tastes like ....... Tonic Water. I just don't like it.

I don’t like it either. 

A progressive dinner party sounds like a lot of fun! Can’t wait to hear about it.

Thankfully I have the beverage package. 

Lol! 

My memory of my last cruise was about 8:30
