Pool chair hogging was onboard the Splendor. There is no longer any signs around the pool regarding chair etiquette.
People put their stuff out early in the morning.
Difficult to get a chair in the shade.
I will agree that the wines are cheap.
The included hotels that are part of your cruise fare are not luxury hotels.
Google the prices. Luxury means staying in a Four Seasons Hotel .
I was on a cruise in 2019 and I was part of a group of 50 per our TA. We only had one group function during the entire 19 night cruise. The cruise was sold out and there were no issues. We met some really nice passengers who were part of this group and we all had a fabulous time.
When we travel we have an official print out from the Mayo Clinic with the list of our prescriptions. We also carry the Rx bottles.
We just pack the over the counter stuff in a zip lock storage bag. Never have had any issues going thru any security lines anywhere .
The water bottles are awful. The glass water bottles in the rooms are very heavy when full. Hard to pour water without spilling. Don’t like the filtered water as we don’t know exactly is in the water.
I’d rather drink Pellagrino. Bringing my own water bottle for shore excursions.
