  1. Can someone explain the Jones Act?   I was just told that someone was not allowed to book an Alaska cruise after a cruise from Hawaii because of the Jones Act, but I am booked on those two cruises.  The difference is that mine is a B2B2B starting in Sydney.

    This release is not likely to include 2021 TPs - that won't be available till the end of the year.

    The first year we did this cruise we booked from Sydney to Seattle as one cruise.  Now they split it up as a TP Sydney to HI and a Hawaiian from HI to west coast, and release them at different times.  That seems odd to me a a lot of folks like to do them as B2B.  I think the second leg is not released until around Nov.

    No I haven´t seen an invasion of illegals in Europe and I live there. These FAKE News are spread By media and politicians with a certain Agenda, but that doesn´t make them true. As for the US, nope I have not seen them either, but no I´m not Living there. I know though how this is spread around on Twitter By a certain Person with an overinflated ego from DC. However if you look at a wide range of media you will Pretty much come to the conclusion there´s no Invasion in the US either. 

    I don´t say there are no illegals, but certainly there´s not an Invasion like some may want us to think there is.

    Semantics.   I believe the use of the word invasion is appropriate when CBP is overwhelmed by in excess of 60,000 to 70,000 people per month.

    How or when is the balcony discount applied? If I log as myself ( D+) I see a price for balcony room. If I use another browser without logging in and look at the same sailing the price is the same. How to I get the D+ discount?

    Are you doing a mock booking, or just looking at the price?   By doing a mock booking and entering your C&A number at the appropriate place, you can see the price difference.  (Watch for the "See if you qualify for exclusive rates" link.

    Related question - are the three free drinks you get every evening as a Diamond cruiser automatically added to your sea pass card, or do you have to attend the Diamond Lounge happy hour to receive them?  Thanks.

    They are automatically added to your sea pass card.

     

    Edit to add:  You can get them at any bar, but only during Happy Hour.

    To me the "small minded" part is the need to watch and comment about it here, when it didn't affect the person at all.  It's always "we were in our chairs at the pool, and we saw someone reserve six chairs poolside and leave for two hours".  And I'm like, Who Cares?  You were in your chair at the pool!

     

    Perhaps posting about it here will make a potential chair hog reconsider.

    I always give $20 on arrival, usually as I am asking for ice or the beds to be put together, and if they go above and beyond all cruise give another $20 at the end. If you pay attention these stewards work morning, noon and night! They spend 9 months away from their families. On embarkation/disembarkation days they are not only changing over the cabins they are the ones delivering the luggage to cabins as well. Most stewards have between 10-20 cabins each. Trying to keep everyone happy, working with each guests schedules, it can be crazy. $40 is not too much to offer these very hard workers.

     

    $40 tip X 20 cabins +prepaid tips  + wages.  If everyone followed your example they would do very well!

    Pay attention to your cruise points

    After returning from a 2 week cruise 10 weeks ago, we noticed our total cruise points have not increased. 
    Emailed C&A  and was informed that the total was right.
    E-mailed  numerous times with  screen shots of total cruise points on RCI web with point before and after two week cruise. Received phone back  that  their total was correct .
    More emails to C&A but no replies, so pay attention to your point totals
     

    Do they have all of your past cruises listed correctly?
