I cannot believe that I could not find the info.

Thanks

Sorry if I have asked this before but if I did, is must have been a long time ago.

Looking to sail smaller ships, and cannot find the answer on web their web site

My question is

Does my d+ loyalty level on RC and/or X have any reciprocity with Azamara?

3 liters for $19 you can find it for $18. The shop I use is right near the water taxi. The good buys for other cordials as well.

Everyone who travels should get the hepatitis A and B. Also, here in the states, you never know when you could be in contact with someone directly or indirectly with hepatitis.

Close to the going price in Europe. Barcelona, a few years ago when the euro was about 1.75 to the dollar, it was 3.5 eros for a 33 liter bottle.

Now days with the Euro almost even it would be around $3.5.

Sounds like the OP is a Conard or Silver Seas cruiser

What are dress jeans? Isn't that an oxymoron

 

No, all styles of clothes are made from jean material, been this way FOR YEARS and years. Some are very dressy to elegant and some are bib overhauls but rarely see bib overhauls on the ships.

Strangest request I have seen, but not a bad idea.

Chances are any waiters cruisers could recommend would not be on the ship when you sail. Might try and ask this right before you sail.

Do not go into Orlando, Miami or Ft. Lauderdale. I watch the evening news for Orlando and even I wonder how safe it is NOT. Heck we have had some shooting in the local retirement area called THE Village.

Be happy, you might not see a mosquito. However if pregnant or want to be, or male and yes concern about new ZIKA research, maybe you should think twice or what tours you might take.

While many people do not dress up any more, Many Many others do and seem to enjoy the dressier evenings(requested) On Caribbean cruises, my lady dresses with very nice modern clothes, it is her only chance to do so. Living in Florida dress is casual almost every where. While on longer cruise and tours in Asia, or Europe we tend to dress down a bit because of travel before or after a cruise and have no room for SPECIAL attire.

the Airlines. If you both booked with choice air or booked the same airlines no problem. Travel is simply not rocket science.

I will agree on our last United Flight to Hong Kong, that was the worst crew I have ever experienced. At least my United upgraded premium economy seats were better than American who's upgraded seats are just in a better section, with the same leg room.

You can walk it if you do not want to take a bus. One of the restaurants was on the cooking show. Conch salad, conch fritters, conch most anything GOOD but it is not gourmet just home cooking.

PS Nassau restaurants are EXPENSIVE

I am currently on the Navigator and am having a real problem with the extra tipping on the bar tab. I have no problem with the daily tipping but there is already an 18% tip added to your drink cost. I bought an empty light up plastic glass today, they added the 18% service charge and the waitress was visibly disappointed that I did not add an additional tip.

 

The tipping is getting out of control. I do tip extra at the end of the cruise for our room steward and wait staff as long I feel that they have given good service.

 

Any thoughts?

I totally agree we do the same. Tipping is out of control! not just on cruise ships but everywhere, except American restaurants and now they kinda expect 20%

Isn't a license enough? Do you need the passport?

Drivers license is enough Why worry be happy. Take PP if you need to fly in an emergency.

we have done this 2 times and another deep Caribbean as well, and it is the only cruise I wish I had taken Binoculars on.

I agree with the poster that said port side is better but starboard is not bad.

There is a new Margaritaville resort opening in Orlando, I wonder if it will offer PC pick up and delivery. The local media did a lot of air time on it.

Disembarking one Jan 2,17 it would not work for us and others. We went though customs in about 2 minutes. I told the agent it was not working and he said right now it is slower than using a human. Maybe a negative reaction from job losses, but who knows.

Which is twice, the food is OK, but the service on both occasions was no better than the Olive Garden and with a bad waiter. Now, on the Oasis, we did the Italian restaurant with about 8 people, and it was fun, we tried everything and lots of wine and no one cared about the service. Maybe a good point for having fun in the Tuscan.

But after our Xmas and NY cruise and yes the 7 am out of cabin was asked and no problem for us and we are 70 and 76 years old. Having said that, we ask for early departure luggage tags which got us off the ship at around 7:30. If I had a luggage tag that was like 9-10am it would be a PITA to set some where and wait.

If the employed cut backs in room stewards is the reason, saving X money it is not fair to pass on time restraints issues to the cruiser.

For those taking issues with the 7 am out of cabin, I'm willing to bet that if you needed up to an extra hour NO PROBLEM.

You might want to investigate .

There are many ways to see the Galapagos than on X and a whole lot cheaper.

Of course depending on your health and mobility and if you won a lottery(LOL)

Most likely, are from people who are not "true travelers" and and do not want learn abut or enjoy different cultures.

FANTAASTIC CRUISE

If 75% of the pax on the cruise ship you are boarding had the Noro virus. Cancel, walk in a bubble of disinfectant. Heck just wash your hands every time you get a chance, and you might not get it NOTE MIGHT

Side note, we always start a probiotic before travel on a cruise ship, land tour, or on our own. Knock on the paper our travel insurance is printed on, Never had the pleasure of meeting a toilet up close and personal. Sorry In Peru, yes that is what got us on Probiotics but the Noro according to both medical centers in Peru and home said it did not come from Peru.

X for it ships and size are a mass market cruise line, with a twist to better service. As a long time RC cruiser (D+) my comparison of RC's larger ships and X's ships like the Equinox and Eclipse the big difference is entertainment and service which to me is X's focus. The target cruisers market is anyones guess.

The ships have to sail full, LOTS of competition to deal with. The demographics of the cruiser and the mentally of of what cruisers of all ages expect is wide and varied, like me I find most of the activities boring and I'm 76 years old and would love to hear a little more rock music on the ship and yes, I'm not alone. As a CEO you have to do what is necessary in the cruise market to make money. I will agree, lots of "cut backs" in staff/food etc, maybe important to some for not having a bartender or server catering to your immediate needs is important, but they might think about paying a lot more money to a upscale cruise.

almost everywhere. NO ONE in any role of government had any idea of the drone use/problems, they may have and already have, like flying too close to aircraft and airports.
