The 6 free liters for latitudes members was a very limited promotion for a couple of months. It's over.

Yes, please post photos 🙂 I am so glad they didn't change the Manhattan room. It's such a classic art deco-ish vibe. Do you by chance know the cost for the lazy river at Taino Bay?

I was responding (and quoting) someone else to assure he knew he wasn't covered for medical with his credit card. Hopefully he got the info.

I think you are telling the wrong person this information. 🙂 We've been doing this for a long time, and I wanted the other poster to understand that his credit card wouldn't cover the medical expenses.

In my opinion, trip cancellation coverage is the least of our concerns for travel insurance. An emergency medical evacuation, and a few days in a hospital can easily cost upwards of $100,000. THAT is the reason we get travel insurance.

What is the limit for medical expenses? What is the limit for emergency medical evacuation? That's what we look for.

There have been some instances where people who showed up earlier than their selected time have been asked to wait. They do this for a reason - people need to respect that. Your status doesn't matter for the selected arrival time.

I would absolutely believe this is a phishing attempt. I would never, ever call a number in an email like this. I would always go to the website (not through the email) and get a number from there. The rule is to never give sensitive information to anyone unless YOU initiated the contact.

What did you think of Moderno? We tried it on the Joy in November, but our experience wasn't great. We thought the best part of Moderno was the salad bar with sushi!

Gold members get half off the price of a bag of laundry. Platinum members get a free bag of laundry.

We were in a regular balcony cabin on the Joy in November, and we asked for robes. They used to be in the closet on all past cruises on the Gem, Breakaway, etc. We were told robes were now only available in club balcony suites and higher. Our cabin steward eventually did get us robes, but don't count on them.

All of the pharmacies I contacted are now charging for COVID tests for travel. I even called my insurance company, and they no longer pay for Covid tests for travel. Right now, the easiest and most cost effective way is to use an at home test, with a proctor. It's $15 or $20, and you can do it 24/7. There are a few companies that do this now.

You can absolutely bring an empty water bottle on board. We've brought water bottles on board in the past - with water in them. Most times we had to dump the water. Once we took them through and no one said anything.

Le Bistro is our favorite restaurant of all. We sometimes do more than one meal per cruise at Le Bistro:)
