Roomba: I would GUESS that it is available to both in addition to Canadians, Aussies, etc. Get a definitive answer by asking your TA or Carnival Corp.

Very, very similar on our recent Eclipse!

OK. Is argyle, polka dot, stripes, etc. acceptible? Sock it to me!

And garlic.

Totally against the law! SOLAS. Safety of Life at Sea. Picture an emergency evacuation and all the injuries of people trying to get through the halls and tripping over broken glass. Clearly a violation. God help the handicapped in scooters and wheelchairs because cruiselines want to dismiss the hazard and break the law.

I'm tired of fighting. It's over and I'm pretty worn out will all the cruise abuse. There are too many other vacation options at much less cost. Jacked up prices on everything, poor service and food, can't get problems addressed, inconsistent answers, interminable holds to talk to customer service, trying to talk to a computer, and listening to stupid cliches like "Sorry 'bout that", and "no problem". Does anyone even think before they speak anymore? Yes, I've done numerous transatlanic cruises on QM2, but I have done my last.

...cold lack of empathy... I can top that. QM2 employess decided to move my $1600 mobility scooter while it was in park an locked position. Destroyed the transmission and left me stranded. They did offer me a measly $250 as compensation for my loss via Cunard Corporate. P.S. I can't get off their mailing list for future cruises despite their many promisies to remove me from their list. I won't be back!

Likewise!

Helen, Unfortunately I need my scooter full time and I've seen my share of the bullies too. If there's time, I just tell them to go ahead and I'll take the stairs. Some understand the comment but many, surprisingly don't get it. The epitome of ignorance or indifference.

S_O_L_A_S Safety of life at sea is maritine law. In an emergency, trays in hallways is likely to cause injuries and many cuts from your broken glass dishes. Be considerate. Obey the law. Call your steward to pick up you dishes from your room.

Yes Vienna salt dogs. Very healthy and the salt keeps your pipes clean and free flowing. Recommended by 9 out of 10 vascular surgeons. Spam is also recommended for your daily mega salt dose!

I redside IN Mississippi. Now what?

On the same cruise and agree totally. Ordered a hot dog without bun (gluten free). The server didn't understand, so I told him, "Just the weiner", and he said (seriously), "What's a weiner". When I received it, I could have sworn that it was a sausage stick and coincidentally, the breakfast "sausage" in the buffet tasted like a very poor quality weiner (hot dog). Maybe they got the two mixed up. But then neither was acceptible so I guess it doesn't make much difference. What a disappointment. Overall, Blu did a great job!

Been there. Done that! Many times over. This is how Princess now operates. Adios. Never again. "Customer service" is a misnomer. Now tell me again what a valued customer I am. I'm not quite convinced yet.

I'm sorry you missed the tongue in cheek humor here. It's called "being facetious".

Check your Medallion app to find that phone number.

Thank you for your reply. I didn't realize that Mexican coke and yellow cap were essentially the same formula.

Lucky you! Is it any good? How is it different? Our local Coke distributor here in South Mississippi has never heard of it. Maybe the local Jewish population is not large enough to support the option.

Update: Just received the check today. Four weeks to the day. The estimate was 2-3 weeks, so I guess I'm doing really well.

Yes, but how long did it take? It's now like the blood and turnips thing. Takes forever. They need the money and are going to hold onto it as long as possible. Inadequate staffing? How is it that they have adequate staff to take your cruise deposit instantly but not enough staff to refund monies likewise as fast?

A wise choice indeed. 500% should help dilute that coke taste for you. Have enough of those and it really won't matter either way.

water or water. Many options there: water from a tap, water in a can, water in a bottle, flavored water, well water, spring water...

I think that was the very original, original coke and I believe you are right. I was thinking of the original as being offered in our lifetimes. I remember my trips to Mexico during the 60's and 70's and going to the agenceas to buy it by the case. Today, you can still get that original, bottled cases at Sam's Club. I also read where you can buy kosher coke during Passover. It has a yellow bottle cap on it. No chemicals, additives, etc. Sadly, I couldn't find it anywhere in the area where I live. Has anyone else seen it where you live?

You too, eh? This seems to be pretty common practice now.
