How much to tip is a personal preference type of thing. We pretty much do what @kenb said except if it is not our butler and they set up the table, either in the room on the balcony, and are polity we'll tip between $2.00 and $5.00 depending on what bills are in my pocket at the time.

Thanks. I have been trying to carry as few cables as possible but it might be worth it to invest in very thin HDMI cable. I may even have one around here. I use a USC-C to Display port adapter to connect my two chain my two curved monitors to my laptop. Something like this should work -- https://www.amazon.com/uni-Thunderbolt-Compatible-Working-MacBook/dp/B083Z8QBJ5/ref=sr_1_2_sspa

Great - thanks. I have been downloading NetFlix movies to my laptop and watching them from there but am thinking about either going the Roku route or trying to see if AirPlay will work with the smart TV's on the ship. As a fellow Mac user, have you tried AirPlay?

We have done three of the late September / early October New England cruises and loved them all. We did enjoy excellent weather the whole time on all three. The scenery is amazing with the changing of the season and all the reds, oranges, yellows, and greens on display.

Have you had any issues getting your Roku to connect to the captive portal on the ship?

You are making me so thirsty right now. Pretty sure I need to go pick up some bitters.

I also like the Affogato very much. I do have them make a slight modification to mine, I ask for them to add a shot of Bailey's ! !

Millennium is still showing Prime Rib for the first night for the April 21 cruise.

We are doing 12 Day Best of Japan on Millie next November. We've rescheduled this cruise a couple of times but looks, at least for the moment, this time is a go. So looking forward to it. I've not been to Japan since 1990.

Interesting. I have had hot pot but it's always been a Korean dish served in a cast iron pot, thus hot pot.

While it is wasabi paste, I would not call what comes out of the squeeze tube 'real wasabi." The fresh root is too expensive for us to use so we get the powder. You would be surprised at the flavor difference between the power and the stuff that comes out of a squeeze tube. And, as others here have said, the fresh from the root is very flavorful and I do not mean hot flavorful.

What puzzles me is that it appears, and I have no hard evidence of this, that the same people who want to arrive at the cruise terminal earlier than their assigned times, are the same people who want to be the first to get off the ship. I am more of a get me on early and get me off as late as possible kind of guy -- kinda like boarding a motor whale boat in the Navy -- first on, last off.

So you are going to tell me as a passenger that if I do not book and excursion through the cruise ship, I cannot go ashore in a port the ship is visiting. That's going to go over real well!

On the box with your upcoming cruise do you see three icons at the top? If you do not see that, I recommend you power you phone completely off and then power it back on. If that does not fix it, make sure your software is up to date. Last but not least, you can uninstall and then re-install the app.

I would not like to see this happen but I do not think Royal Caribbean will have much choice. How would they possibly determine which 1,000 passengers out of the 2, 000 - 6,000 on board who would be allowed and who would not.

Was just going to say, mine is working correctly. What do you mean by "do anything with the cruise in the app?" There are a lot of things you can do so please be a little more specific.

I like omelet's and although the menu says 'ham and cheese', I have had no problem getting spinach, tomato, bacon, etc. added to my omelete. I am also a big fan of steamed rice, my wife is Japanese, so I have asked for rice with a number of meals, including eggs over easy, rice and sausage.

Thank you. I agree 100% about the crew making all the difference. We cruise Celebrity for the service and have only been slightly disappointed once, and that was on Edge.

If you booked yourself direct with Celebrity call them. If you booked through a TA, call your TA and have them do it. Or, wait until you board, go to which bar you think you will frequent the most and do the upgrade there. The Bar tender will love you for doing that as they get credit for you doing the upgrade.

I can't blame you there but I believer that if Celebrity re-instituted vouchers they would be on your Sea Pass card vs being printed like in the 'old days.'

There are three classes of wasabi. The premade in a tube, the powder that you mix with water, and the freshly ground from root. The quality and flavor of each is totally different. I prefer the freshly ground and feel that it is well worth the $12.00 upcharge. Skip to 11:00 and watch. And if you want to know a little more about fresh wasabi

I fear a few of us are dating ourselves.

I cannot speak for Blu but the burger patties in Luminae appear to be hand made. Unlike those I have had at the Mast Grill and in the Oceanview Cafe, they have not been perfectly round and they are thicker as well as having a different flavor.

Exactly and I feel that is why Celebrity brought the cruise only fare back. Would you prefer to have four vouchers that you could use at any time or being able to have your 'unlimited drinks' at most venues during a two hour window daily, since that they are no longer doing the Happy Hour reception in the Sky Lounge. That is correct. It is also irrelevant with the classic drink package.
