    No Grand class ships have the lounge. We really never use it much but it was helpful to have the concierge to get us reservations for Sabatini’s when the dine line said it was totally booked. Also was a quiet spot to hang out in prior to disembarking

    Exactly we sail in suites most of the time and have never had an issue getting into a specialty restaurant on embarkation night

    I could not get used to the location of the Bistro being wide open to passengers walking by. Would much prefer if it was in a separate room

    Been doing it for over 40 cruises including 4 last year

    I have almost always been offered a free dinner by casino hosts because invariable they screw up my free play and have to wait a day or so to get it loaded. Also I have often just gone up to the Sabatini’s manager early evening and been able to sit down around 7:30 or so

    At many ports embarkation is an issue since everyone seems to show up before 11 and expect to get on board ASAP. When we saw this in San Francisco we just dropped our luggage and went across the street for beer and a pizza. Came back in about an hour and a half and walked right in

    I don’t know why everyone is so hot to pre book dinners. In our experience it has never been a problem to get tables once in board. They do not reserve every single table otherwise they could not offer free meals to casino guests and others to make up for Cruise issues

    Love the aft locations butt prefer going up a bit to B, C or D deck

    Yes a long as they are full suites like Owners, Penthouse, Vista, Premium and Window. Mini suites do not get suite benefits but do get Club Class Dining in some that are designated

    It is only on certain ships depending on the location of gym. It may be that most of those ships have been decommissioned. I have been on around 50 cruises since 1990 and it used to be quite common on smaller ships where some treadmills were right above cabins. Of course unless there is an employee there some people just ignored the signs

    On some ships where the gym is over passenger cabins some machines may not be available early in the morning. Like before 8 or so

    If there had been noro in the room that room would have been thoroughly cleaned by a Hazmat team. If the toilet doesn’t work it can be fixed but most are multiple cabin issues caused by people putting things down them the shouldn’t

    Always book on my own and use miles often

    A hold is just that a hold on the cabin for a specified time it is not a booking. A booking occurs when a deposit is paid. If we see a cruise we want on a weekend then we put a hold on it and email our CVP to call us on Monday to put on the deposit

    Yikes we hate red eye flights. We always book our own flights but often use Princess transfers especially when the port is a distance from where are staying like Southhampton or Rome

    Yes you can have 2 per cruise if you are elite and in a full suite.
  17. memoak
    If you are in a full suite you can eat in a specialty restaurant on embarkation night for free. Never had a problem just talking to the restaurant manager or calling the dine line after embarking
  18. memoak
    Yes. Text, call or email. Fast responses every time

    What the heck is ovations ?
  20. memoak
    There will be coast view just relaxing seas. Enjoy
  21. memoak
    I think I would much rather hang out with a glass of wine a good book and view of the ocean
  22. memoak
    Smaller ships with less cabins sell fast. Less cabins higher prices.
  23. memoak
    There will be a hotel/transfer prion but it will not be free. In fact it will be by the person not by the room and will be pricey
  24. memoak
    We just talk to the restaurant manager and they can generally get us in We do prefer later (after 7:30) for dining
  25. memoak
    There is a reason it is call “on board credit”
