  1. Looks like just Jw blue. I was thinking of canceling without the Moet but now I’m thinking I actually might go find some of those bourbons and tequilas. And can always fall back on screwball for my “dessert wine”
  2. I did notice that at Le Bistro. Did not happen in Haven or Los Lobos.
  3. The Nobu on Crystal was amazing but the nightlife a little sleepy (although they sometimes had good dance hosts). I once heard Oceania had less healthy options? Silversea doesn’t sound right for us in that case. We did the Princess Grill on Cunard and thought the food was amazing, and m there was some balance on jacket vs button down nights, and at least an amazing ballroom and at least on QM2 a decent nightclub. I just did the Owner’s suite on Prima, I loved it, looking forward to comparing the bliss. I’m more into the gym/spa, dinner and dancing than shows though…
  4. Looking forward to hearing how Oceania is and the comparison to Crystal. I’m considering Silversea but like the liveliness on RCL/NCL.
  5. Also who knows if Moet will be available by the glass even if it’s specifically been taken off the list. The whites are otherwise uninspiring. I know Veuve costs more, buy I prefer Moet, kind of a bummer….
  6. I just did a google search and couldn’t find it—would you be able to copy it? I basically drink Moet and occasional wine with dinner. Feeling like I could save a lot just skipping it…
  7. Hi, has anyone successfully used theirs on the Bliss or similar class? We’ll be in the Haven 2 Bedroom and would love to use mine. I’ve got both the EU/UK 220V and the US 110V so can bring either. The US version worked in the owner’s suite on the Prima, I just had to plug in where the phone was at the coffee table and use the mirror by the front door. Would appreciate any advice about which to take!
  8. yes it was included, they gave us the wrong info before we boarded!
  9. this makes a lot of sense...I also don't drink much, but that is exactly why I loved the package, I had tons of water and sparkling water, a daily Starbucks and a bottle of Moet or a bottle of nice wine with dinner (I actually prefer Moet to Veuve). I liked not thinking about it and not feeling compelled to finish my drink! And I needed the unlimited internet so that was nearly half the cost, and once I took dining into account it was really not bad at all to have the plus drinks upgrade. It really comes down to our own psychology!
  10. That is good to know....traveling in the Haven with a 24 year old daughter who is not a heavy drinker, but would like to share our bottles of wine and water at dinner...I would have done the free at sea plus but it is not available for the third in the room and I think she would choose streaming internet (itself $180 for the 3rd in the room) over the plus upgrade. I don't see her spending $174 on the occasional Starbucks (and we have two plus packages and one Starbucks drinker...)
  11. I don't think you need to think twice about it. You are always unequivocally gracious and generous. You actually don't owe anything to a stranger just because they decide they're entitled to demand something of you. Sometimes people bring their own interpersonal issues and even mental imbalance to these interactions. Just double down on your kindness and enjoy your positive interactions here!
  12. It is getting close! Let's keep in touch-- You'll recognize us by my guy's beard 😂
  13. Yet another question about that—we’ve historically started with a half to a third of the total tip and then given another $100 to $200 at the end depending on service. I would worry if I tipped it all upfront that might confuse the butler/attendant/waiter’s expectations. Or am I overthinking?
  14. Hi, next month I will be on the Prima and it's my first time on NCL since a short cruise to Cuba on the Sky years ago. I'm used to Cunard (beautiful ballroom and t least on QM2 a good late night disco next door) and RCCL (Boleros for Latin dancing, 2 clubs on Oasis and one on Adventure with a silent disco a few times). Even Celebrity Beyond had 3 nights with a silent disco (including a red channel with Latin music) and several nights at the Martini Bar with Latin or Motown dancing (the nightclub was a dud though). what is on offer with NCL and especially the Prima? any partner dancing, silent disco? or just EDM and kids?
  15. What strikes me most about the story is how well you were treated. When staff are good to you, it changes the whole dynamic of the experience. I’ve not done NCL but the Celebrity staff could not do enough for us and it elevated the experience. I was worried that NCL would not provide the same warm and generous vibe so it’s nice to hear this story.
  16. So fun—although I like a sweeter extra anejo rather than 1942 (like Dos Artes or Cuervo Reserva de la Familia ), it might be fun to see what else there is. And I can stick with champagne if nothing strikes me. I’m actually getting the package to not have to pay individually for bottled water and sparkling water, and to have a bottle at dinner and not wait for glasses, so if I find a premium tequila or bourbon, that’s just gravy…
  17. We'll be on the Prima in an H4 this Dec 3, and I'd be happy to give a tour. We met two lovely British couples in the elevator on Celebrity Beyond who saw what floor we pushed and asked if our cabin was very posh, so we invited them to see (it was an Edge Villa and "indeed" was very posh!).
  18. there woul be a charge if the Butler brought Starbucks from the counter or drinks even if you have premium plus? just want to clairify!
  19. anyone have experience with the Queen Victoria premium internet plan? I am considering the transatlantic or another cruise but would need to be able to make calls and occasional Zoom meetings. I haven't done the QM2 transatlantic because I know the wifi doesn't work well. I wonder if Queen Anne will be better?
  20. I can understand why Eden is more beautiful looking out at the aft sea view, but we loved Le Voyage. Just had an amazing experience, unbelievable food and service. We will go back to both for sure.
  21. we are in an Edge Villa and our shoreside concierge said it is not included
  22. our car is at 7, I didn't realize we could get off so early. also in a suite. actually thinking of booking a VIP escort at FCO.
