Well.. we are glad there is Bayonne! We cruise 4 times from Bayonne (11, 5-7, 9, 7) and once 12 days from Baltimore. We probably need another 8 years. We'd rather keep excitement up than cruise nonstop to reach level (we can as we can work remotely).

Just off of Anthem. There was 10 people max in Crown Lounge. Usually there was more even during Thanksgivings. Not sure if this is due to restriction to Diamonds or just a coincidence.

We just returned from our #10 on her. If picking balcony I recommend 10 - 12 midship to avoid any possibility of obstruction any directions including beneath. (Lifeboats)

Depends on ship. On Grandeur for example we had decorations for Christmas & New Year. On Anthem they took it down during Christmas cruise and we didn’t have it for New Year because they use space for crowd during NYE celebrations.

Not on all ships. They started decorating Anthem on Thanksgiving cruises only since last year. We will have Tree Lighting today though!!!

We live in New England and we’d never buy such a huge (old?) lobster … we’d rather pay more for 2

It’s if people cancel. Right now they are not allowing to even put on waiting list.

Passport is also enough

I do not believe it was a case preCovid even for Diamonds and Diamonds+ Doors to passengers stateroom Decks were closed before certain times

Agree. He should have less points, but the same status.

Yes. Now traditional times are on various ships are 5 and 8 or 5:30 and 8:30. Too early and too late for us. 6:30 would be much better, This + a table for 2 and we would not need to have MTD.

We always get table for two... but we do not have 6:30 traditional time.

We originally in 2007(?) started doing MTD because we wanted tables for 2. Times were good, but we wanted tables for two. Our son was rarely attending dinners and several times we had weird matches. We would go back to 6:30 Traditional if we had our table for 2. I am afraid many people now also want a table for two and this won't be possible. (Cultural changes... just like back then we all fought if jeans were not appropriate for Dining room and now it is shorts, not jeans)

I usually use mango, but lately I like fruit punch …

Check Liberty. They also have 9 dayers. Maybe cheaper

Why? It happened on some other lines like Virgin.

I guess they will just need to add gratis into fare (a bit more to offset taxes), so no more discussions

NCL has $20 I think...

Which ports?

Not sure. Anthem for example has 2 restaurants for MTD and 2 for Traditional. So it is never a case.

As we switched to RCI 100% in last 3 years ... but even before ... they prefer you to have the same table/waiters. We always use MTD and they try to have us at the same table ,time, waiters.

Even worse .....

It’s also messed up. 5:30 is not a good time for traditional seating. It used to be at 6:30

None is perfect

It’s not in a form it exists today. I don’t want to eat at 5:30 or 8. Also we cruise for a long time … and we had mistakes in ordering earlier traditional time and getting later. It’s a mistake
