LOL...   Since I have no personal experience in this I trust you..    I'm hoping it was a joke.  

 

I have to say.... there isn't much eye candy on this cruise.  Male or Female.    

There are cruises with groups on board like this.  I’m surprised you’ve never run into any.

Unbelievable pix, you have a talent.  Love the 🦩🦩🦩

Balcony on Reflection would make more sense in the Caribbean 

Unless of course it’s too hot to use the balcony.

The mango might cutback some of the heat, lime not so much.  You should try a virgin one.🍸

I asked last night and it was a Spicy Mango Margarita  -  You are correct it was Tajin on the rim, Mango Juice, Taquilla, Cointreau and Jalapeno.

 

 

Thanks for asking Jim.  Too spicy for my tummy.

I posted a couple short videos on my FB page.    One was of Singh, the bartender in Michael's Club,  making spicy drink for Andy.   It was a lot of fun.

 

Watched the video, other than jalapeños what was in the drink?  Lime juice?

Thank you.

 

It was my understanding the Jim likes when people converse during his trip reports.

My understanding also.

My wife makes a great Spam salad and it has been known to 'help' pregnant woman give birth.

We joke about it, but three times we have had friends that were past their due date and served them the salad, and soon gave birth.

 

Edit to add that this discussion about Spam is rather funny as I live a couple hours north of the manufacturer.

Good story.  Now back to Jim and Iain’s great adventure.

We live in Florida...and Spam is always part of our hurricane rations.  😀

I live in Florida and Spam is never part of our hurricane rations.  We all have different tastes

Sacrilegious I say.  

SPAM is delicious.  Fried and served with eggs, made into a sandwich, cut into little cubs and used in fried rice, and who cannot like spam musubi.  My wife makes the latter with fried egg. 

 

As they would say in Hawaii -- broke da mouth. 

 

Not at all, something I just don’t care for and would never eat.  So if it upset you sorry, I’m guessing I’m not the only non-Spam lover for example Jim.

Jim and Iain, enjoy Hawaii and the next leg of your cruise to Vancouver.

I have to admit I was never a fan of SPAM. 

Have to agree with you re: Spam, uck🤐.

Hope you have a wonderful visit in Hawaii, as always it has been great fun following you and Iain’s trip.  Katie

As always, such fun joining you and Iain on your adventure.  Katie

You will unfortunately not know what is being offered until after you board.  From our past experience likely to have at least one generation old on board.  Would plan on using OBC elsewhere. 

I have a 2017 IPad.  Was going to ask for a current one for Christmas but when I compared mine to current model the upgrades simply weren’t worth it.

Nothing comes close…to their website today…

 

trying to price a cruise for next year….and every category is coming up as no longer available…and I don’t really think that is the case…

 

 

 

 

Unless it has been chartered.

It is indeed.

It’s all caused by weather.

We had the other view, unpleasant 

In  Bermuda your view may be the bow or aft of another ship, not much of a view.

👍👍👍

$13, not a huge deal. But since I have seen others mention the same type of issue, my hope is it might help fix the problem.

Sadly it’s an issue (overcharging) that has been going on for a long time.  My guess is it goes both ways.

I don't know if this is germane to the topic, my DW and I had an interesting thing happen a month ago on our Silhouette cruise. We had the premium drink package, so I was surprised that I got a charge for my order of Canadian Club and water in Blu. I noticed a couple of days before we disembarked and my wife called down to customer service and they laughed and said "of course there is no charge, you have the premium package I will remove it." Then the morning we were getting off I checked our folio and the charge was still there, I figured I would give them a call when I get home instead of standing in line for ever.

 

So I give them a call when I get home and got a very kind customer service rep, she said of course you should not have been charged, but she needed to go through the actual ship to get it reversed. BUT, she will call me back and she did. Except when she called back, she explained that it was from my drink order at Blu. "Yes and I had the premium drink package." She said that she will look into it and get back to me. And she did! She said that they reversed the charges and all is fine. Then I got another call a few days later from her to let me know that she now had proof that the charge was reversed and there was nothing to worry about.

 

Yes it was a bit of pain trying to get it sorted, but the customer service rep was excellent.

Good result, how much was the over charge?
 

Blu, much nicer experience.

"American singer Usher has a net worth of $250 million. Usher earns a whopping $10 million salary for his NFL Superbowl halftime performance. As per Forbes, Usher is one of the richest music artists in the world in 2023"   not too shabby for one show!

What does this have to do with Celebrity canceling someone’s reservation?
