This is the dining area for full suites and reserve class mini suites. It is a separate entrance and dining area from the MDR. There is no wait lots of 2 tops and an extra entree each evening. Since you are in a full suite you can have breakfast there but a better option is going to full suite breakfast in Sabatini’s. Much is served in the reserve area on sea days only dinner very night
On a Seattle RT you stop in Victoria. The checkin process was so fast in Vancouver I really don’t recall the immigration. I was just surprised we didn’t have to at least “zero” out the ship in Seattle after the 4 day which just went to Ketchikan
The requirement to go through customs procedures either on the ship or disembarking and getting back own really only applies to US ports. We have done many B2B cruises out of Vancouver and have not needed to do anything. Funny thing was we recently did a 4 day Alaska Vancouver to Seattle and then a 16 RT Hawaii cruise from there. We did not have to do anything in Seattle at all
We don’t really care for the Royal class ships and have no interest in the new humongous ships. It looks like most if not all ships out of FLL are on those ships so we will probably stick to Panama, Alaska, Hawaii, Mexico and New England cruises and leave the Caribbean alone for a few years
Agree.on the “Ultimate Alaska “ cruise. When I first booked it I could not even get a casino deal then several months later got a deal not great but at least decent. Why it wasn’t available when I first booked is anybody’s guess
The last 2 ships I was on this year were the Discovery and the Crown. Neither needed any tokens except on the Crown for soap. If tokens are required there should be a machine to get them. I know some people have said they got free tokens but I have never seen those as an Elite benefit.
There are 2 doors and people can come in from either direction to get to the bar. This is much like some Crooners locations where you can walk in from where the piano is
I get a minimum of 30% discount as a casino player free laundry and mini bar for being Elite. If another line would offer me the same I would consider it but no one has
I have never said that this was in response to a post where someone saw that if you book the entire world cruise we’re getting the plus package thrown in and thought that should happen for all cruises
If everyone was told the price would be more than standard because everyone has to have a package there are many on this board who would be screaming. There is no way they are going to give everyone the package for free on 7 day cruises
And can you imagine the ire of those who don’t drink, don’t use WiFi and refuse to pay gratuities. ? I can hear it now I am not going to subsidize those drunks and on line people. They also think tipping should be illegal.
