If you're saying there's beef tenderloin in Prime C and beef tenderloin on a Chef's Table menu, that's true. If you're saying there's similarity in the preparation of the dishes, I really have to disagree.
My reaction to the expanded Pride, as well. Public rooms are crowded when more than 250 passengers are onboard. Seating in Veranda can be hard to get at breakfast and lunch.
I'll never understand how someone can hear of one person's unfortunate incident and based on that decide they'll never choose that cruise line or hotel or resort or whatever.
Don't have to climb into and out of a tub in order to shower. Tub base is three or four inches above bathroom floor making it awkward to step out, and reduces headroom in the shower for anyone six feet or more. Lastly, we shower, not bathe, so tub is unnecessary.
Right. But the highest level at Windstar, reached by us in nine cruises (not 40 or so, like Azamara), gives unlimited, free same-day laundry, not one shared bag on a 13-day cruise (as well as unlimited free wifi). That's free laundry.
Of course, nothing is "free." Everyone understands that. But, if you find yourself with hundreds of OBC dollars remaining late in a cruise, your choice is to let it go to waste or buy overpriced stuff in the shop or spa or on the wine list. That stuff may not be "free" but there's no additional out-of-pocket cost to you to take the stuff home or consume it on the ship.
