No bonus, and as stated they paid out the winnings, but returned the balance to my folio.

On my April Millennium cruise I tried this and when I cashed out the voucher was only for the amount of the slot winnings. The balance went back to my OBC.

This^^^^

All crew and departments will be on their best behaviour, all beverages will be in stock, and the buffet will have a full complement of stations. Can't have the boss see any slip-ups.

All good. DW had a bad bout of bronchitis. Because you can't buy cough meds at the shops anymore it required a trip to medical to get some.

Medical center treatments were include in April on the Millennium. DAMHIK

Then you are in luck. That is the standard for cabins on M class ships, they do not alternate.

FYI, the OBC is also available for use should you need to visit medical for any reason. Not the most desirable or exciting use for it, but....

The short answer is that cabins that show a sofabed or upper berth all have the bed by bath. The black square or triangle on the deck plan is your indicator.

Yes, solo is double points except in the few E-class single cabins. Again, yes, that is how it would be repriced.

In Cozumel and St Maarten passengers go to a multitude of places, not just the beaches.

🤣🤣🤣

Sooooooo......where's the perfect day enter into the picture?🤣

They currently do. 3 to 7 night itineraries on all three classes of ships.

You will only retain your current benefits - wifi, classic drinks, and any OBC you have. You will be charged for the difference in gratuities.

It also reserves the extra OBC that is attached to an on board booking.

If booking a suite the $100 pp deposit does not apply, otherwise your deposit is $100 for the cruise you book.

Possibly, but no guarantees. You would have to check once on board. The other option is to just book select dining and make your reservations as needed for your departure times.

If like the Millennium, then reservations for anytime dining are for deck 4 only. Deck 5 is for fixed seatings only.

Gee, maybe I should admonish my phone for not keeping up to date (time) during my cruise last month.

Your phone connected to the ship wifi will not change the time. That is done with your carrier signal.

... but I am getting apprehensive with all the bad reviews. I have noted many of the bad reviews seem to come from people who think that every ship should be just like the newest one in the fleet at any given time. The ship may be cosmetically dated and without all the new specialty restaurants, but that doesn't mean the experience is not good. ..., to the creperie and pastries at Al Bacio, to the stunning art and glass everywhere, it was clearly a cut above. Sadly, the Creperie disappeared when the change was made from Bistro on 5 to Sushi on 5, but the rest is much the same. ... long waits at bars and restaurants, Yes there are waits sometimes, but it's when it's a popular time like when the show gets out, or the before dinner drink, which is exacerbated by no longer having the CC happy hours in the Sky Lounge. ...The one bright spot I keep reading about is the service and the efforts of the crew, for whom I have the utmost admiration and respect. It’s gotta be a very tough racket. This is absolutely correct. The staff are definitely doing their utmost. Is it all a bed of roses? By all means no, but certainly not as bad as the negative reviews make it seem. Go in knowing that there will be a few lacklustre experiences, and all will be good. Enjoy your cruise.

Nice thought, but when would you propose the show for the late diners start? The current set-up was so that early diners go to the shows after dinner, and late diners would see the shows before their dining time and still have time to leisurely wander over to the dining room.

Could be that, but my money says that marketing is involved and that means selling as many people as possible the "first passenger christening the room" opprtunity at "enhanced" rates.

You really must want to see the F1 to spend that kind of money. For just a little more you could spend a week in the Retreat.
