Having worked in a chain restaurant in the UK, I can state less than half would leave a tip, probably about 30%, most that did would leave a few coins or about 10%, It was a nice extra. Never feel pressured to leave a tip in UK or Europe, it's not necessary.

The app did not work at all when I sailed from Rome, Booked shows onboard at the desk set up for this as soon as we boarded. They hold back spots for this so there should be availability

To me it did block the view somewhat

Maybe I got unlucky, it sounded like they were jackhammering the ground when I was there early march.

hopefully one of the cruises I have in mind will be ok.

Breezy bay also have the over water cabanas in front of you so you do not have a direct view out to the ocean. I would avoid the South beach ones at the moment as the area where they are located you could hear the construction nose a few weeks ago from the new beach they are building

Hi I just made Prime so am waiting for me free cruise certificate next month, was wondering, I know its valid on any cruise 7 nights and under, but do the casino pull from different inventory that what you normally book for cash. I.e If there is an interior to book online, can I assume I will be able to use my certificate on this or will the Casino say that it's not available etc. Also do you know if you can upgrade to an ocean view, if so is the cost just the difference in fare I see online?

Definitely was a rule on anthem 2 weeks ago. Table next to us wanted the lobster and steak. They were told they had to choose which one they wanted first. Both chose steak the lobster came when they were about halfway through. I had no issue ordering 2 starters as a main dish though. As with everything it's probably an Inconsistent new rule.

I left $10 for the 2 of us and the waiter seemed v happy with it. I charged it to the room rather than cash so had no idea if the tip went to him or into that murky pool where nobody really knows what's going on. Either way he seemed happy.

Main issues we had were being shown to a dirty table or a table that wasent set up. This happened 3 times. What's with the person showing you to the table never knowing where the table is? evetlry day we had a grand tour of the dining room before we finally got to the table Food was mostly MEH. The seak was not good and the few Currys we tried all tasted the same...not bad but bland I suppose. The theming was a waste of time too. Snails on the British menu etc. All very odd. This was on anthem 2 weeks ago.

USA sailings are a lot less formal than European. I'd say from Europe a lot/most dress up and you will be more a minority if you don't bother. Lots of Tux's suits and ladies in full gowns

Just a heads up, last week we had a perfect day, decided to go to South Beach, and then found a place called the cove- very quiet as lots don't know about it. Sadly you can really hear the construction from this beach, and see the entrance to it. It sounded like they were driving piles into the ground, there was lots of hammering all day. If you are sensitive to noise you may want to avoid the far corner of South Beach.

Hi, I booked Godfrys tour, doing an island tour, and the price looked good. The booking did not give me an opportunity to tell them what ship I was on so will probably need to contact them!

Only 2

Will be on RCL wonder of seas next month. Just wondering who is best to book an island tour with. Any tips?

If it's legal the casino will be more than happy for a donation.

Feed them into a slot in the casino then cash out the ticket. Saves all those odd looks when you try to cash them. I was given 10 of them as change once in Disney you swear I was trying to pay with monopoly money when I tried to use them. Ended up using one as a book mark.

I did and they said room service only now. Room service said they don't have them !

Only real cutback I have seen on board is no lays in 270. Room service only .wonder if I can order 20 ))(

Still twice at moment

We have just arrived at PC. All aboard at 7.30om so ha e less than 2h in port now Am worried we will be delayed getting back to Bayonne. Lots have flights etc The ship was doing 15 knots most the way down. Hopefully they can get it sorted. Assume we stopped here to re provision. I see lots of beer on the dock! Everyone has been given 1 day credit back. Except me as I was on a casino Comp so nothing to give back haha.

In Europe Indian food is a lot more popular, in UK there are a lot of Indian restaurants, it's almost our national dish. I think an Indian restaurant would do well on Europe sailings but less so on USA ones, bit like the Masion Jar, it was mostly empty when we were on Wonder in Europe as that style of food does not appeal so much to Europeans, yet is a lot more popular on USA sailings.

Wonder in April £81.82 (about $100 inc tip), Glad I got it for the £43 offer last year. It's made me rethink cruising with royal going forward. I may try MSC or NCL to see what they are like.

Wonder had 2 ATMs last summer in the med one was giving out Euro the other USD . Everything on board though was in the usual usd.

I gave them a ring and switched to MTD, the only options in the app are a litte later than we like (8-8:30pm), but hopefully we can do walk ups around 6.45, if not no big deal, hopefully stress over !
