  1. Apparently you inflicted penalty upon thyself for cancelling second leg of b2b recently. How long will penalty phase last, who knows. You could also try to offer paying a higher dsc to see if that will grease the gears.
  2. My thoughts would be Northern Europe and if you did Prima there are two top categories of Haven that sleep 8 and 6 respectively. But at a price of a new car. I will say while ship was upscale feeling, I'm not really interested in sailing it again. Plus the Haven pool area is open air and in cold weather not suitable. Other would be FP on Paul Gauguin. All inclusive pricing. Would do a ten or eleven day as it then goes to some remote places. Pure heaven. Very quiet. They have two private islands which are fantastic. Snorkeling fabulous. Food was very good and everyone on board super relaxed.
  3. I'd probably pay them $10 not to get foie Gras, not trying to give them upcharge ideas though.
  4. The one major difference is they won't bring Cagney's to room for breakfast or lunch.
  5. The Mexican looks good. Luckily we have several good near us, not a major metroplex. Did get guac, but not get table made guac, on Prima. DD frequently will make it at home for just cost of avocados, very good with secret ingredients. For our convenience, of course, no tips required or expected but she does get free room and board. No contract term in effect, able to leave whenever.
  6. Heck, if $2,000 in tips you need to start a tipping thread. Oh wait, already done.
  7. That leg was from DTW to LHR. We got very lucky it was Delta.
  8. This goes way back years when fdr took over. There was a widespread, across the board reduction in port times. One of the biggest was stops at Port Canaveral coming in early a.m. to one p.m. Put a damper going to Orlando or Space Center.
  9. Lots of different experiences here. We had Delta to LHR. We got info about 45 days out. Due to status, was bumped to C+ right away. Waitlisted for premium select and we got it. No luggage fees.
  10. They have to cool the potatoes so they can dice them up for breakfast the next day. No more heating oil to fry hash browns. Baked potatoes can air cool. Part of sail and sustain.
  11. I'd agree, at least for us. We did a 12 day TA on Prima with adult DD. Probably last time in long time that will ever happen. We spent a lot of time in the room. Also spent lots of time all over ship like Local, Haven Lounge. Didn't spend much time in buffet or atrium or main theater which takes up tons of space. Did spent quite a bit of time, at first, looking for seats at Indulge then if we wanted to eat there just went late. Weather not good so outside, open air Haven area useless.
  12. To add, the bathroom had a great shower where I could get like five different water sources going at once to rinse off the grime.
  13. We were in 12922 with adult daughter on a TA. We only had one bathroom entrance but I do see video of room you mention appears to have two doors but only one sink, not a biggie. Privacy never an issue. Guess it kind of depends who has sofa. I'd say probably one of the best ship sofa beds I've seen but it was also new. It is a nice room, kind of basic, one of the smallest OS we've had. We had lousy weather so spent quite a bit of time in room. Note the room, and as others have mentioned in other threads of other rooms, has a creaking issue even in calm seas. Can't recall if the OS you mentioned were ever mentioned. Typically the prices are very close. OS gets unlimited in room water, soda, and three bottles. Maybe not a big deal if you have FAS but still nice. For us, nice to have Coke Zeros stocked and DD big water drinker. Not really helping much.
  14. Maybe you can get the much younger Mrs. Schmoopie to read for you.
  15. Welcome to CC. Sky one of the oldest in fleet. Must have been lots of Hero cards completed.
  16. Of course those viral videos showed up. One on main MSN page of the humanity of Mera going to Boston and not Bahamas. Showed lots of folks in Bamboo pool which is an enclosed pool area for Gen pop, even has a bar. Whoops, we had one call out here from pc police we can't use that term, guess too many seasons of Orange left us with the term. Had been an NCL ship, no such venue if ship went north with inside pool except Haven. Poor folks on Mera in YC no such enclosed pool area, demand compensation. To sail and sustain though, YC has a large lounge with bar, fancy coffee maker, and eager staff.
  17. Cape Canaveral is about twenty minutes north of Port Canaveral which is where the ships leave.
  18. From casual reading, apparently nearly everyone has made stock gains if you want to believe those reports as E F Hutton told me.
  19. The Dawn and Star used to have a TV by the tub but believe now gone. Toilet stall had a phone IIRC.
  20. Note not many cabs at Port when we were there.
