  1. Carrying cash, finding the servers at the end of the meal, deciding what to tip—-complicated Keeping the auto tip system in place — simple
  2. I am having a hard time figuring out the logistics of this. How do you even decide what amount to tip and to whom? The standard recommendations about using a percentage of the price of the meal price can’t be used. How do you handle your other meals? This all seems complicated and awkward.
  3. That number probably wont work from New Zealand, where onlysilightlymad is located
  4. Here is a thread you might find of interest https://boards.cruisecritic.com/topic/3037589-baggage-drop-upon-embarkation/#comment-68174779
  5. When the thread was revived after ten months it veered off in a new direction starting with post #25…..
  6. If your question is simply about the Solarium, including the part about the Sundeck seems to be thinly veiled bragging that you are in a suite. 🙄
  7. To be clear, you have the Classic Alcohol package and are asking if N/A beer is included in it, yes?
  8. You are sailing out of Barcelona, correct? You might be able to request a kettle but normally they’re not provided unless you are sailing out Southampton
  9. OP, if you are looking for country western or 20’s or 50’s fancy dress nights, you’re on the wrong cruise line
  10. When on a cruise i want an almond croissant, fresh fruit, mimosa and caffe latte so this is perfect 🥐🥝🥂☕️ to each their own
  11. Coca-cola addiction doesn’t count😳
  12. There was a time when a long-time passenger kept track and published here on cruise critic but that ceased many years ago
  13. No it isnt. And you cant get it for the second cabin either
  14. Not five nights at sea. Five Captains Club points
  15. Your assumption is incorrect
  16. Which ship? It makes a difference …..
  17. If you are in a suite you can arrive anytime and they will let you in when the doors open,which you can expect to be approx. 10 in Fort Lauderdale
  18. check in doesnt get you a boarding time. It gets you an arrival time
  19. I very much doubt that there is any way to keep he points without keeping the card
  20. Elite coffee is available at Elite coffee House breakfast—Cappuccino espresso, café latte, That starts from day two. So not embarkation day. elite happy hour from 5 to 7 does start on embarkation day and that is a recent change. But they don’t serve coffees there.
  21. Lemon drop….no mojito…..no rum and coke…yes
  22. I may be reading something into it that isn’t there, but in asking “what has worked” I wonder if what the OP is really asking is, how much of a tip do I need to give to get the drink I want? To which I have no answer, because I just stick with the menu.
  23. If you are ok with sushi being your only specialty option, then book it but don’t look for any of the others to be open at lunch
  24. I am trying to think of what kind of action might be considered “abusing the system” if Royal went to the same procedure that Celebrity uses?
