Pay no attention to the information on the app which has never been updated and it is at least five years out of date

It may be allowed, but it’s still a problem for those of us using scooters so I hope people will not put barriers in our way.

Here you go. 14 pages of commentary about the banging noises heard on the various E class ships.

~~ when they take your drink orders they flip the menu on its side so the other waiters won’t bug you.  This is in Cafe AlBacio and the buffet

~~ if you ever have an “off” smell in your bathroom, try pouring a couple of glasses of water down the drain in the floor (not the drain in the shower)

~~ keeping the door to the verandah closed helps reduce the “whoosh” sound it can create

Reflection has plastic glasses in the buffet. As far as I know it's normal.

Not for wine though. 🍷

Whatever Cabin number is this? We are seriously consider a Porthole Veranda n our Beyond Sailing. It appears all are listed as obstructed by default. Side view aft pictures indicate the equipment obstruction is only at the far aft couple of staterooms.

It was far forward, not far aft.

I think some of the confusion is Sky Suites were not allowed into Michael’s Club until late 2015. 

And strangely enough, they have never updated the app on reflection to show that sky suite passengers are allowed into Michael’s.

That's super interesting. I'm guessing they were trying to take the load off of Oceanview because everyone would be up there trying to grab lunch.

I believe so.

Married couples will be able to get matching points and tier status.

if you don’t want to call to get this corrected then report it to the Captains Club concierge on your next cruise and they can shoot an email to the loyalty desk to get the equality

Constellation in February was freezing!

So today I have experienced for the first time that Luminae and the main dining room were open on port days with early departures. we are in Tortola BVI with all aboard at 2:00 and both are open for lunch so I now stand corrected having seen it with my own eyes.

on Reflection 

Alcohol is the main difference.  The brand of coffee will be the same.

You will probably be able to do the same as you did in the past, barring any unexpected delays on the ship’s arrival.

Long thread on this issue here

I am also on a ship and got caught by this. It took three hours to download the new software needed in order to get back onto the app. The helpdesk people were given no notice that a potential problem was on the way and were very surprised when the app quit working on my phone.  The phrase “cluster” comes to mind.  😳

They never give any advance notice.

We took the body wash pump out of the shower and left it on the sink for handwashing during the day. Popped it back in the shower when needed. We’re not great fans of bars of soap.

In many, if not all of the state rooms, those bottles are firmly attached to the wall. Ask your state room attendant for a second bottle of body wash to leave at the sink.

Yes, best to take your own. If taking only carry on, find a Dollar Tree near port to get Soft soap and hand sanitizer plus any other toiletries you didn’t want to drag on your bag.

I don’t think dollar tree is worldwide. Since we don’t know where the OP is Cruising, this advice may not be worthwhile.

Which ship?

I just my hair done on reflection as soon as they saw the card, they applied the discount.  So I would just go ahead and make the appointment and have them adjust the price on the ship if needed.

They may make an unscheduled diversion to a nearby island, they may be close enough to some land that a helicopter can do an evacuation, and they may be able to rendezvous with some other ship.  On at least one occasion, a patient was transferred to a U.S. Navy medical ship. Every situation is different.

The name is so misleading

That actually appears to be the Solstice. 

Yep…you can see the beginning of the name on the side

What you described? Definitely takes place on S class ships. I don’t think it happens on E class but I can’t be sure of that. Only sure that it absolutely yes happens on S class.  Here are some people exiting that hatch and a view of a helipad.  

That should not be a problem. There is no limit to the number of bags are allowed to check in.
