Its 6 white 6 red from various countries. Most are from the basic package but it varies from ship and sailing. You get an hour to try all the wines and rate them. I just signed up for my 13 night TA cruise as it was 29% off as opposed to 10% so I thought nothing to lose at that price.

I wouldn't worry too much worse they can do is hold it till end of cruise.

They are not RMT's but some as good or even better. I just cancelled mine refund was $258 CAD for 75 minutes and that was with a 15% discount.

When I was on Princess last month I mentioned I had some knee arthritis. The girl immediately tried to sell me Elemis cooling gel saying it would help. 😆. It was nice but I've seen it quite cheap at home. She did a great massage but I was surprised their training is only for a month so she said.

After reading all these posts I decided to cancel my massage on the beyond next month. Yes its expensive and the only time available was 3 pm on embarkation day. Plus as stated I don't get to pick the massage therapist. I had a fantastic massage on a Princess cruise last month but had also previously taken advantage of the samplers they offered in fact had 3 of them and chose the 1 I thought was best. If they offer a promo on a sea day I may take advantage. I think the money can be put to better use and I don't have tons of OBC.

Its reduced deposit and OBC depending on cruise length and cabin category.

They don't make good Perriers

I know they have them in your cabin and I thought the price was around $9 plus gratuities. I will have room in my case so may bring 1 possibly 2 bottles with me. I can get them for a buck in Canada when they go on sale. Small bottles are bulky to pack

When I had the beverage package it was also hard to get perrier always had san pellegrino available. This time I'm bringing my own small bottles onboard. I can't remember but 7.50 or 9.50 a bottle is outrageous and I believe gratuities are added to it.

I was on Silhouette in November and they were in bottles. I had read they've done away with cans. Why they ever had canned water is beyond me. Tasted awful.

Yeah no kidding. On Wednesday I booked a 13 night TA a deluxe inside for a steal. Less than 24 hours later I get a move up offer at ridiculously high pricing.

I haven't seen the water in cans for awhile now. People complain they're hard to open and some have cut their finger on the metal lid.

Yes I always pick one up for the evening and keep one for excursion next day. The ships water is perfectly fine though so if you forget and have a water bottle just fill it. Just don't put your bottle directly under the spigot, I transfer from a glass.

I was told some of those bags were never even used and purchased as collectors items then sold. I will be on the Beyond in March then on a transatlantic in April so will be checking them out.

I cashed out $100 of my NR OBC and got $98 which went into my wallet then next day tried to play and got locked out was told I had to play at least $40 in cash which I did but then won $180.

Of course they are the real deal. Imagine the flack the lines would receive if it was revealed they were selling fake designer bags. I was on the Apex last year and kept looking at a beautiful LV bag. The girl at the store tried everything in her power to get me to buy it but I wouldn't get the use just not an every day type of bag.

I just got off a Princess cruise and they had pre owned Chanel cotton tote bags selling for thousands of dollars. They were actually quite ugly and yes, taking up precious real estate.

I would be very surprised if the cruise lines sold them as authentic if they were not. Never actually purchased one but have looked at them closely although did not check for SN just markings on zippers, inconsistencies in stitching etc and they seemed fine to me but I wouldn't buy as still felt they were over priced. The lines are making a killing profit wise on these bags even at duty free prices.

Or just get a top up before 7 p.m.

I've been able to get HH drinks from craft social

I've only attended at Cellar Masters on S class ships and yes its a walk about inside and out with a few snacks. It was quite well attended and lots of fun. Last year on the Apex it was held in Eden on the upper level as I mentioned I saw a handful of people who were all seated and didn't look like there was much room certainly not a walk about. I was just hoping next month on the Beyond they might have a few decent wines. I can always check it out before I commit.

I did it a couple of times; not worth me leaving my pool lounger to attend.

Six years ago was way before covid and yes some wines were pretty good as I used to attend all of them on every cruise. Things have changed since including the wines being offered.

I did ask when on the Apex last year and the answer I got was Amazing!!! I don't think there was much interest but I hung around at Eden where they did the tasting and saw a Masi and others on the basic package then left. I only saw a handful of people sitting around.

I may wait till I am onboard. Its only a 10% saving if booking ahead so no great savings. I can then see what they offer not interested in trying a Masi or the poorer quality Chilean wines.
