I think we're talking past each other. My only comment was concerning whether a cabin needs to be "deep cleaned" between every occupant. It doesn't. A "regular" cleaning is just fine.
A dust bunny under the bed (deep cleaning) doesn't likely contain the previous occupant's germs, nor would you be touching it anyway. At least I wouldn't.
This just seems ridiculous to me. Mrs. IA and I are meticulous, weekly, home cleaners. We dust, vacuum, mop, clean toilets, showers, sinks, mirrors, etc.
But I can count on one hand the number of times per year that we vacuum under beds or other large furniture, clean out drawers, bleach drains, wash windows, etc. Any more than that is completely unnecessary.
That seems really cheap for the Land's End excursion. I'm going to guess, since it says "from $45" that it's after the discount.
Regarding the Connell Lake, that is before the discount.
Whatever you do, make sure you pay the small gratuity for the FAS specialty meals on both cabins. Otherwise, the other cabin will not get the specialty meals, and your daughter will not be able to give hers to your wife.
Same. I'm going to have to confer with Mrs. IA to check my recollections. It's just in my mind's eye that we are always unpacked and settled in before sail away. However, I may be thinking of dinner.
But I am certain that 2 out of our last 4 NCL cruises, the bags were at the door when they called rooms ready.
Interesting. I'm trying to recall if we've ever not had our bags by sail away. I would say that 50% of the time they there when our rooms are called as ready. Do you tend to check in early, or late?
