Hope you bring toilet paper approved for marine/ship use - you are probably one of the people clogging up the system.

Nope, that's an urban myth. Chengkp75 who is a ship engineer and posts facts, gave an explanation of the whole toilet system and why regular tp does not clog the system.

WOW, a wild ride.

I would think that the ship has lost power otherwise the captain is a fool for not heading into the wind / waves. That would stop a lot of the rocking.

Even though I've been on some very rough seas and was never scared, this gets me every time I see it.

i really regret not buying an NCL cruise next certificate because all i could do for weeks after i got back from my 1st cruise was look at prices and plan my next one. i'm going again in a few weeks since DEC is dirt cheap, but now i already started looking at next year and even other lines to see my options out of my local area.

 

how does one stop this addiction? i fear family and friends will be at home one day with an intervention.

Maybe watch this.:eek:

Even a bad day on a cruise is better than a good day at work.:D

Not so sure about that. :D

Yes, Derek partnered with Marilu Henner, who came in 6th place overall. Not bad. He didn't get his usual already-very-talented-dancer partner this time, lol.

But maybe they thought Marilu was going to be that person with her dance background.:D

Beg to differ Phil and I do like prune juice. The written menus are one thing but almost everything you mentioned can be had on the regular menu by just asking. That's why I said in reality, its another one of Celebrity perks for certain cabins that really isn't.

But, there's probably a large percentage of people who don't know you can ask for anything so it can still be considered a perk for certain cabins.;):)

How come no one has mentioned balcony club? 😱

You go first.:D

Hi Lois, hope you're doing well.

Can't wait til Jan. 14! 😉

Attached is a link with the Concierge breakfast menu.

Thank you! 👏 It's going to be breakfast on the balcony. 🍽

Bring what you think is appropriate. Remember that the people in most Caribbean ports are very poor so they appreciate everything. Always ask how much a cab fare will be, but you do not have to pay that. They inflate their prices for cruise passengers because they think they have money. For example, in Mexico, if a store by the port or a taxi say the cost is $20, only actually give them $10 when you pay. Unfortunately many people do not know this practice is acceptable and overpay.

Well, gol-leeeeee, since they are very poor and they appreciate everything, I'm really going to save some money and give them $5.00. Nope, don't want to overpay.

What does that have to do with cancelling a package?

Oh come on, OB, you know your question will never be answered.:D

I would have gotten some coffee and followed them out to give it to them.

Don't forget the Whiz!:D

That's what wit means.:D

One time when I asked for a red sauce on mine, I'm sure they thought I was committing a mortal sin.

Maybe a leather bota bag? https://www.amazon.com/Leather-Bota-Bag-Wine-Skin/dp/B000GFHD6I/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1479441347&sr=8-2&keywords=leather+bota+bag

You're joking, right?

I'm thinking about taking the allotted 2 bottles of wine on my RCCL cruise next month for the first time. Do I just carry the bottle from the room to the dining room? Is there something for sale somewhere that will look a little more classy? I would feel weird just carrying a bottle all around the ship! (I posted here since it seems like a generic question) Thanks!

Well, there's always the brown paper bag.:D

But, if you really want something to carry it in, surely you can find something here.:)

Completely agree with those who have said prices are based on supply and demand.

Then on what?

Marie, that Tadashi is phenomenal!!! I also love the Jatin Varna.

I don't use large suitcases. Hence, I've never seen a bag in a bag in a 22" or 25" rolling bag ;)

Have no idea what she means by a built in "garment bag".

A couple of people don't seem to know just who they are arguing with.;):D

My Tumi luggage has a hook inside to hang things and it also has a separate garment bag. You can either use the garment bag or just use the hook. The model is escaping me right now.

Did not like Roberi's dress that they gushed over.

Didn't really care for Jeni's outfit and didn't think it was appropriate for her mother's occupation. However, I would have sent Erin home over her with that dreadful coat and hideous dress. After starting strong, she has been in the bottom for a couple of weeks now and like Tim said, how many times have they seen that coat?

This is Mah-Jing's mother.:eek:

As they say, there are some things you can't unsee.

I could post a picture of one of those things.:eek::D

Let's be a bit clearer: "reasonable accommodation" on a ship is vastly different than in a shoreside building.

 

I also have to chuckle at the comments about "overcrowding." What constitutes "cramming in" depends heavily on your point of reference. If you've ever been a NYC subway commuter, you can always fit another couple of folks.

Yes, it does but we're talking about ship elevators.:D I was on an already crowded elevator and when the doors opened, the ladies waiting were told there was no room. Despite their size, they crammed in. A bell started ringing and OVERLOAD kept flashing but they refused to get off. Their protest was futile because the elevator wasn't going anywhere. They finally got off.

First time I ever experiened an overload on a ship although there were times when I thought the car was overloaded.

Well, I think it is just the natural course this thread took... people are giving OP some ideas and thoughts. :)

Maybe but maybe there are some reasons the OP has that were not mentioned.:) Giving any advice, ideas or thoughts on something dealing with children is usually something I try to always avoid. Yes, I had some of the same thoughts that others expressed but decided to let them go and tried to answer like Clarea might.;)

I'm still trying to get over someone turning a facecloth (washcloth) into a cleaning rag....and then sending it out to the laundry for the next person.

Do you take your own linens/towels when travelling?
