davekathy Posted June 6, 2018 #1301 Share Posted June 6, 2018 I’m sorry I’m lost. What is the DS ? Diamond Superior.:cool::whiskey-glass: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davekathy Posted June 6, 2018 #1302 Share Posted June 6, 2018 (edited) Cash...how quaint. I deal in Quatloos. I just let RC handle what currency they elect to pay the staff with in my name. As a DS my time is way to valuable to be bothered with handing out pittance for the staffs service. Edited June 6, 2018 by davekathy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On our cruise last week I tried to give my CS an extra cash tip for helping us.She said ' That is not necessary sir you are a D+S. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Oceansaway17 Posted June 6, 2018 #1305 Share Posted June 6, 2018 Last Monday there was a long queue to get into the terminal building in Southampton for Independence sailing.The queue wasn't moving so I strolled to the front entrance and told the lady on the door we were DS. Within minutes we were invited to check in. So it looks like the Anthem is coming to Southampton in 2020 according to some posts. No need for you to come to NJ now. Anthem is coming to you. Love the Quantum class. I suggest you try it too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Domino D Posted June 7, 2018 #1308 Share Posted June 7, 2018 There are several cruises Ines offering 12-14 night cruises out of Southampton down the Spanish/ Portuguese coast to Madeira and the Canary Islands then returning back to Southampton. Is there one you would recommend? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Been on it twice.LOVE the ship. Two 70 in the back is great for shows and day viewing. Seaplex is great and do bumper cars and roller skating. and yes North Star is wonderful. Reserve and stand in line also. Over 2 cruises I went up 7 times including when it went over to both sides. Now they do a partial Go onto you tube and check it out.

Rare ReneeFLL Posted June 7, 2018 #1311 Share Posted June 7, 2018 I heard a rumor that the Diamond lounges will only be open to Diamond Superior and above. Here's hoping. I hate having to use the bridge for our private lounge. Whaaaaat? We just made diamond. Now how many points do I need to hang with the best? :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There were no lines the times I have tried it. Just wait. At the beginning of the cruise everyone lines up, near the end, not so much. Personally I'd be likely to chicken out if I had to wait in line, and it would not do to show my backside to the commoners. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

banzaii Posted June 7, 2018 #1322 Share Posted June 7, 2018 Grease and oil. That's right the new fleet of DS robot servants have been designed with receptacles built into their hands. I like the fact that we are literally greasing some palms to get what we want. It makes me, my wife and my mistresses feel a little Gangsta! :D Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally I'd be likely to chicken out if I had to wait in line, and it would not do to show my backside to the commoners. Had that experience with the zip line. Changed my mind waiting in line. I had the Capitan have everyone cover thier eyes while I exited. So the last port day might be a good plan for Northstar?
