  1. That's what I thought could work... stay a few days in Vancouver and or Seattle, take that flt as planned and fight with X to get a full refund on the second cruise!
  2. We passed it on our walking tour but no time to enter..Very nice that it is active!
  3. we always find a spot.. After we dropped off our luggage, and circled around, we got a great spot for Ascent in January.(11 am window). Post cruise, our porter took all our stuff right to the car and helped load into the trunk. Well worth the tip!
  4. I have an allergy to cashmere but had no reaction on any of the E Class ships. I was told they would have made arrangements if I did.. We liked the Ascent mattress..nice and firm. I just used one pillow..a bit hard for my taste but slept quite well!
  5. Welcome Back! Doesn't hurt to try.. we tried Oasis and counted down til we could disembark..It just was not good for us!
  6. We paid $7.00/ btl at a high end local restaurant in Fl last night.. The bottles they serve are large so better if we can split it..Guess it's cheaper at Publix.
  7. yes we received that twice..was not i our room..room was too small anyway to work out
  8. we often order the same or if we get diff entrees we share .. so not a problem! never saw anything like it! Curious, is the base regular pancake batter? our grandsons would love making something like this with g pa.
  9. nice happy review! we agree Ascent was a standout all around!
  10. Sounds great.. you will have suite perks, Luminae dining and the Retreat pool area! Hope you enjoy a wonderful cruise!
  11. outrageous.. look like more than a meal! will remember for our next visit..would they let us share?
  12. you should have takem dowm the cabbies number and made a report..He needs to be removed from duty! Hope you enjoy the gym and thermal suite and maybe book a spa treat! Great way to de-stress and motivate for good health. They have fruited water in the Relaxation Room.
  13. but you will still have to vacate your cabin
  14. get a porter.. they will get u through quickly and get you into a taxi.. well worth the tip!
  15. Seems more of a steakhouse with an ital focus. We book pre cruise with a small discount..incudes the grat. We do not leave an extra tip..unless we have exceptional service
  16. is tom the Pancake breakfast.. ? As for comment re AI We went to Sandals Nassau / Bahamas a few yrs ago( Concierge suite).. no chair hog issues. Pool attendants had a reserved area for the honeymooners..and there were lots of chairs available. They had a quiet pool .. to read, lounge, sun & swim And an active pool... dj music dance, activity...lively but still no loud rap or obnoxious activity staffers..just fun in the sun ! Resort had a more international clientele all ages and very interesting... And many bars ( all included) no long waits and no one noticeably over the edge! Hope to go back soon!
  17. they are often tucked away in the closet..no longer displayed on the bed. we also had to ask for the cruise card holders! went to guest rel for pens..cardboard cylinder!
  18. I was hoping we would hear from you with comments . Thank You! I think folks can deal with lower speeds but only if the ride is smooth! No.one wants to "rock and roll" I still remember a cruise on Grace Line out of NYC ; I was a teen with my parents . All was great..even the dance floor..but at night the Cap said he shut off the stabilizers to make better speed. No clue if that was true but it wax a rocky ride overnight!
  19. We booked all three. ..avoid MDR. Can't find a way to book the Porch but maybe we can drop in for lunch..
  20. Multiple players can always be an issue.. When we had a damaged bag once, SW. Locally, the airline blamed TSA.. Luckily, I had a copy of a recent case that says.. if checked with the airline they are responsible. They repaired the bag! I like the idea of the tags but we could not figure out what we needed to buy with our Samsung phones..maybe Best Buy can help? SAFE TRAVELS..to OP and the bags!
  21. you can buy those honey masks in the US.. We saw a woman pulled off the line in Pt Ev..she was bringing an apple along for a snack. Not sure of the outcome but it slowed her departure . we respect the rules and the working dogs..do not pet them.. they are on the job!
  22. but some of the younger crowd does not want to cruise with the older crowd! many posts ask about the age of cruisers who sail on.......?
  23. Great pics.. I am naming today's color...ARUBA BLUE!
  24. Whatever itin ASCENT does, it should still have the best of everything..til XL sails! Then that will be the new best ship! As mentioned, next yr for St Kitts on APEX we booked a coastal tour with beach..Island music..and maybe time to shop on St K..no time this trip! Also going back to Silhouette for a short cruise..one of our favs !
