How can anyone be 'had' on something that is free? I don't recall anywhere on my drink coupon that stated the size of the drink.

Yes, it is. I will look for veterans (usually wearing a cap or tee shirt naming their branch) while on my cruise and buy them a drink and thank them for their service.

Yes, but the OP wasn't asking about suite services. Well, at least they never mentioned it.

I don't think anyone misunderstood anything. You specifically asked about the gratuities. The grats are not charged/based on how many times your cabin gets service, so no, they are not reduced. Yes, you can request evening service. Our stewards have asked us which we preferred, morning or evening.

BINGO!!!

He was being a jerk period. They can do the job without being a$$....s. You weren't there so...

You never know what any individual security person will confiscate. I had one take a small mini vise grip that I always carried in case I needed to make simple repairs on my CPAP or luggage. It was less than 3" total. He said I could disable the ship with it.🤣 I said that if I could disable the ship with that tiny tool then the ship wasn't built very well to start with. He was not amused. Oh well.

I've pulled my own stitches multiple times. It's no big deal to do.

As I said, we saw scooters at Belize, but they were not having an easy time of it. Never at Grand Cayman.

As hrhdhd said, you should be fine. Of course, nothing is guaranteed.

Our favorite class of ship by far. Easy to navigate to get to areas we would want to go.

Been to both multiple time and never saw a scooter on the tenders at GC, but I have seen them in Belize.

You will not be able to select 10 AM if it is already booked up. You will get a list of available times and you can book the earliest available. You still will not get on the ship much earlier though.

My pvp once told me that if you do a mock booking the cabin you selected will be blocked in the system, even if you never did the final step. They usually come back online a day or two later unless someone else selects it, and then it's blocked again. Just a possibility.

Darn, my local grocery doesn't give me a heads up when there's a price increase. 😠🤣

What difference would it have made except to ruin the remaining days of their cruise. Not much they could do about it while out at sea.

When we used to do the drive from NC several years ago, we did as hrhdhd mentioned and stayed in the Pooler area. Usually at the Microtel but have stayed at almost all and they were fine for one night.

Somebody is smoking something other than tobacco.😄

Cite and identify some of these hundreds of studies.

And that rate will be even higher if all grats are added to the base fare, including grats for things you may never use.

I would rather have it like it is than have to pay more for the cruise. I don't use the specialty restaurants, spa, lots of bar drinks, etc. and don't want to be paying more for these and other situations with higher cruise fares. We do the auto tips and extra only for what we use.

As a CPAP user (if that is what you're asking for) for many years and many cruises, I never worry about distilled water on a cruise. The ships water is just fine for that short a period of time. Why pay $5 bucks for a gallon of water when you will toss most of it down the drain at the end of the trip. JMHO

We've been on the MG and Magic. We prefer PC over Miami but prefer the Magic over MG.

Typically, the winter months.

On Carnival, with your time dining, they will ask if you want a shared table or not.
