it was on I believe the 10th or 11th day of our 11 night cruise (Sea Day). Capt. Kate didn't deflect the question, all questions are written down and put in a box. The cruise directory then picked out questions for the Captain

Just off Beyond on 12th in SS 9161 and its creaked and popped and banged most nights. Some was when the mini frig turned off and the metal expansion but this room was terrible for noise. I did pose the question to Capt. Kate in the Q&A session but my question was not selected by the Cruise Director

yes

yes, plain bottle water but not Evian (premium) water

Oh and loved Captain Kate, especially her personally saying goodbye to everyone when leaving the ship on the gangway

Wife and I just got off Beyond on the 12th. Loved everything about the ship, entertainment and food. Especially loved Rooftop Grill and Luminae. Only negative was our room creaked and popped and the final day of everyone asking for a 10 in the survey. Not a nine but please 10.

If you did it would show up in you payment summary as Prepaid Gratuities

are you trying to get your post count up?

Deck 17 is very quiet (and expensive)

I agree, even when giving them a tip on the last evening the waiter aske to please take the survey and give a good review if we felt it.

March is not that far away... there are some 1 year out that are popular that sell out quickly

It's defiantly making me re-evaluate the extra gratuities (tip tip hooray) we give at the end. My wife and I are very easy and do not ask for much and always leave the auto grats on. But now we are at least discussing what constitutes (for us) an additional tip on top?

Maybe but we just got off Allure on October 22nd and bought the 24 bottles and it was not Evian... maybe they changed ?

Oh and I love the new tops on the bottled water. It's a flit top lid which I've never seen before. No screw top

Water purchased pre-cruise is standard bottled (plastic) water. Not sure of the brand but it is not Evian. We did have a one glass liter bottle of Evian in our room but we were in a suite .
