    No big deal this happens all the time and gets corrected prior to sailing. I grab a screenshot of my travel summary every cruise but have never needed to use it. As soon as I get on board I check and yep plus package is there
  2. memoak
    Then I think you need to cruise Viking if that is what you like

    Can anyone tell me which dining room on the Coral has reserve class dining and where is the entrance deck plans don’t seem to indicate In addition are there any opportunities for casual dining with the plus package ?
  4. memoak
    There are some suites that due to configuration cannot be converted to queen bed. What cabin are you booked in ? I took a quick glance at the deck plan and I do not see S2 suites on the Island
  5. memoak
    I just didn’t want someone to get on board expecting something that does not get offered every ship seems to br rolling things out differently

    We did not see this on the Crown in October. Charcuterie only and Vines usually opened after 2:00 pm. Many times not till 4:00
  7. memoak
    Some suites may open up if TA’s don’t book all the ones they have reserved this generally happens right after final payment. We have asked our CVP in the past to keep an eye on suites but no big box is touting do that for you. We have told friends in the past who wanted to sail with us that they will need to have reserve class dining because that is where we eat almost every night

    Sometimes they just bring them both on day 1. And yes this is just for full suites
  9. memoak
    What is considered casual on the Island ? The deck plan does not show Vines or Gastropub
  10. memoak
    Alfredo’s pizza is not on all ships as far as I know it is on Royal class and the Grand Princess not on others. Most only has Vines and Salty dog Gastropub
  11. memoak
    Vines and Salty Dog Gastropub Please note Vines has only one option no real menu. It is veggies then charcuterie then truffles
  12. memoak
    The casual meals are not for specialty restaurants but for venues just below that level Depending on ship there will be a minimum of 2 restaurants offering dinner or lunch for $14.95 for 3 courses. You can have 2 of these per cruise. It may include pizza, charcuterie, sushi etc
  13. memoak
    We have never had an issue as long as we like to dine later in the evening like 8:00 which is our preferred time for dinner anyway They never reserve every table on the app
  14. memoak
    I believe they put those suites there because of all the people especially on these boards complaining about mobility issues walking from the aft suites to the elevators so the pit a bunch next to the mid ship elevators. Also many people seem concerned about suites aft and forward having issues with motion
  15. memoak
    There are no reservations for shoes. People who buy premier packages have some reserved areas everything else is what you can find
  16. memoak
    Exactly but I prefer stirred to shaken Less icebergs in the glass that way
  17. memoak
    The people who work the laundry should be very important. If they don’t do a good job you don’t get clean sheets. And we really do not know the the penny who gets paid what.

    To me a gimlet should be served straight up not on the rocks. But maybe I am just old fashioned

    Without the back of the house employees the front of the house employees would not have the tools they need to make your cruise what you expect it to be. Call it tips or bonus whatever you like to me it is all the same. It would be the same as saying I didn’t go to guest services so I am going to hold back some cash. How many of you tip guest services when they solve a problem for you
  20. memoak
    From the aft suites we have never had any noise issue. Don’t care for the midship locations even when I have bee using a cane after surgery
  21. memoak
    So how do they get in ? When I have cruised on Royal class ships you needed a special card to access the lounge. If all elites could use it they would be overflowing out to the corridor
  22. memoak
    Not hiding but not available. The only thing I have been able to use OBC prior to boarding is excursions. I guess that is why it is called On Board Credit
  23. memoak
    I will take the over
  24. memoak
    But the pizza and sushi restaurants come with a few or if you have a package one of your causal dinings
  25. memoak
    Just ask to speak to him or her not from the person who refused your order. They are all over the ship going from bar to bar
