Glad you beat me to this great tip. This stuff really works and we have the travel size as well as a larger size for our bathrooms at home.

 

I do find it amusing that people find it necessary to bring water filled pillows as well as white noise machines and special towels and french presses and etc and etc. Tell me - who carries all of this luggage for you (up and down stairs and onto crowded busses)? And how much do you have to tip them through the airport and through the embark and disembark? I hate to let my possessions rule me. Much much easier to take the minimum and have some freedom and more space in the cabin - IMHO. But as they say - whatever floats your boat. :)

 

Well I for one can't sleep on just any pillow so I take mine with me but I agree some people seem to take a lot. But as you say what floats your boat. Just tip well.

how do you check price drops from shipmate?

Shipmate bites... I use both Shipmate and CC roll call. When you reply sometimes it post instead of replying. And lately it has been a ghost town on the Oasis thread.

You sure you dont mean ST Thomas? St Maartin is not US and St Thomas is.

Your right thanks.

I bring our steward small gifts from our hometown, $5, $10, $20 all obtained from our local town bank. They really appreciate those.:D

But those small gifts although appreciated would be appreciated more if the 20.00 was wrapped around a thoughtful item that you put time and thought into. But of course you could take a 20.00 and wrap it around a 100.00

But then I am real sure the poster also gave cash not just a hometown gift.

Patience! 5-10 minutes to make the drink you asked for correctly and to sign a receipt isn't a big deal.

If a package isn't right for you than waiting to sign a receipt is not a big deal. However if a package is good for you the added bonus is you don't need to sign a receipt.

Merry Christmas to all ya'll as well.

Do you mean Hostess? or the Hottest Wine Steward:rolleyes:

Well if it was the hottest they probably wouldn't have been complaining. :D:cool:

Why? They are paid to serve or help you choose wine, not to drink your wine. I would definitely not want either a server or a sommelier to plonk themselves on a seat next to us at the table and share our food or drink with us.

 

DON

Well they are PAID to DRINK your wine. It just kind of fell out of practice.

Depends on several things but having a good sommelier set at my table discussing wines would be time and a glass of wine well spent.

Sounds to me as if you work in the wrong area of business (or you work at Walmart) with that list of complaints. (yes I have done retail BTW)

 

Many a time I had over the amount and have been called to the 15 or under line because no one was there at my grocery store. I would be in a long regular line-so sometimes it goes the other way. I am just glad some clerks are nice enough to see it that way-that they would rather check someone out with a few items over the # than to stand there twiddling their thumbs. Of course my grocery store has self check out and so most with just a few items go there-the 15 or under line rarely has anyone.

 

Now Walmart seems to attract customers that act that way, which is why I try to stay out of there. If you are employed there I feel sorry for you and do emphasize.

Sounds to me you have not followed all the post as it was tongue in cheek not to be taken as real.

Not all beers are included some would be the chimay isn't not sure if fosters is or not and heard guineas isn't as well. But it is all good..

Well we will be sure to try it. I still have the photos that you took at the pub. Showed them to some friends last night. I might end up booking with Cunard next time.

If they ever stop letting you get a single after you get on board that will be the end of it for us.

They have updated the website so you can order for just one person now. Fyi

And I might even go for the ultimate package for $10 more a day. I've passed up on fresh squeezed OJ at breakfast, and the specialty coffees at dinner because I didn't feel the cost was worth adding to my bill. But, with that package, I'd be doing 2 OJ's in the AM and specialty coffee every night, because I really like both.

Thought about it for DW as she likes OJ and coffee but.... she doesn't like pulp in her OJ and the regular coffee is fine.

Now is the speciality coffee covered Irish or Caribbean coffee well... that's a whole horse of a different color. :D:cool:

Well getting the drink package so I have to remember my cruise somehow.:D no seriously it will be a great way to see if I get my monies worth from the package without keeping a written log. Plus I will be trying a lot of new ones and if there is one I really like and forget the name just show photo to barkeep.

Next month going to change it to Eat more SHRIMP. New New Year's resolution and all.

I believe it's because the poster mentioned the "ease" of paying in advance and he was making light of the fact it takes a second to sign a receipt and is pretty easy too versus paying in advance.

Oh OK got it now. Me I like being able to try any drink and not have to worry about not liking it. Thanks

Signing a receipt only takes a few seconds lol!

I am sorry I don't understand your reply to what was said.

This summer, in Dawson City (Yukon) I had a shot of whiskey with an entire toe in it. I have a nice certificate to show that I'm a member of the Sour Toe Cocktail Club I too am a member of the club. Lots of stories around how it all got started but the toe you and I had is not the original. Along the way one or more have actually been swallowed. Dawson was my favourite place in the Yukon. I lived in Whitehorse for three years

So we're these toe drinks on a cruise and what was the complaint. Or are we off topic just wondering if I am missing something.

I would - if you philistine Americans learned to cook the stuff instead of incinerating it.

JB :)

I bake my bacon. And you can always cook more so you can eat more.

Oh yes have fun Amy I know you will. Thanks Kim we are so looking forward to it I read where someone took a photo of each drink they had. That way the kept a record and with digital sounds like a great idea.

Nah, Anthony… Cruisebug with one g was already taken when I signed up so I just added another g :D

Oh well Bugg isn't normal so when I see it I figure we are related some how. Thanks.

So not sure if you saw my post about Bugg

Ok have to ask why does bugg have 2 gs reason I am asking is my last name IS Bugg...

I hear that. Shipmate has been dead a lot. I am the last one that still has not sailed yet but these last 100 days are going quick.

Eat more BACON

NO NO NO! This is the reason that bacon has gone up to $6.99/lb. :D Same thing with chicken wings-first they couldn't give them away and then they became the thing. Look at cupcakes at $3 and up per piece!

My new years resolution was to eat more bacon. I have had bacon every day this year. Next year I think I will change it to shrimp. I whole heartily agree about the chicken wings
