Yikes! I hope I don't have to wait that long to find out my room assignment... how do you print luggage tags in that case?

You don't. When you arrive at the port some of the Baggage Handlers will have a Manifest with all the names/cabin numbers on them. They will look up your assignment and make luggage tgs for you.

Thanks for the update.

My In-laws are Canadian. I have always used my address when making their reservations. I've never had a problem. 

Be sure to check Porter airlines. Limited schedules but much better pricing out of YQB.

Bruno, your love and dedication to your Father has always shown in your postings. May the wonderful memories carry you forward.

Hugs,

Tom

Great start!

I would suggest you call Princess and ask to be transferred to the Resolutions desk. If you can get thru to them, you will find someone knowledgeable that can rectify your dilemma( Spoken from experience). Good Luck.

But do those free sailings count towards gaining status?

Yes

Thank you and sounds very straight forward.  We also dont play table games so i think we are set.

Also, i read that you have to bet a min. of $3 per spin to get a point.  Does that sound accurate or has that been your experience?  

Thanks again

No, that is not correct. It may be spending $3 equals one point, but it will accumulate, ie 4x .75 spins equals one point. 2x $1.50 equals one point, etc.

We caught 2½ sets of the BB King band last night. A woman sort of collapsed midway through the set. The band called for medical response, which came quickly. The woman was sitting up and waving and I understand that she's OK.

 

We caught some of Derek's set in Billboard. He's very good, just like reported by @Scrapnana

 

Then we went to the Rolling Stone Rock Room for their last set. The keyboard player / vocalist from our Nieuw Statendam trip just joined them this week. The band has a very strong female vocalist, which helps a lot. The NS band had two guitarists who alternated on lead. This band has one lead guitar, which might limit them a tiny bit, but the lead has very much of a Mark Knopfler playing style, which is great.

 

Tonight's show on the Main Stage is Island Magic who we've seen on a number of previous cruises. We'll definitely go to their late show.

Assuming you mean Rachel (lead singer). She said she was going on vacation after NS...If you get a chance to speak with her, could you find out her schedule for next several months (if she knows), Thanks. We love her voice! 

We were on NS a few months ago. We had the same server for the whole 10 days, so I asked if we should do separate envelopes for who we wanted to tip and he advised it is simpler just to do one, as they pool everything and split evenly amongst the 10 or 11 staff members in the restaurant.

Do all cruises rely on apps as heavily as VV seems to?

Not a chance...

Yes

I agree. I’m so glad we kept scrolling until we found it. 

The Chase lounge is in terminal 4. Any idea how far apart they are via air train?  As long as we have we thought it might be worth it. 

It appears to be AA. 

10 minutes or so on Airtrain. Be sure and board the train just circulating between terminals. 

no..

There is no way I would pay more to book thru Celebrity than directly with an Airline...fwiw...

I don't believe I have ever had to show my medallion to cash out chips.  But I have probably never done more than $500 at a time.

I have, but it is larger quantities....

Try calling the airline?

I like a peroni occasionally. Doubt they have that 

They had it on NS in December...

I was on for 10 days in December, never saw music in Ocean bar. There was the DJ in BB Kings space after sets.

If you rely on HA shuttle there is zero chance to make 10:30 flight and maybe 20% chance you make 11:30....Tahe cab/uber

Band is on til late March.

Yes, please get the CO Dining room straightened out before we board Sunday. It certainly doesn't sound like my past experiences either.

Why do a  full  MSC  review here on X Board..? 

 

Why not just link to the MSC Board..?

 

And then do a comparison when on Summit.  

 

Maybe because it is convenient for people, like me, who are interested, without us having to visit the MSC Board?

What airports?
