Milwaukee Eight Posted March 21, 2018 #3351 Share Posted March 21, 2018 Never tried water skiing. Not popular round here. Weather is usually damp and driech. Jet ski's are getting more and more Love jet skis too. Very popular here except areas are very limited to use and getting more limited. Even though they have no prop, manatees have run them out in many areas of water. Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

davekathy Posted March 21, 2018 #3355 Share Posted March 21, 2018 Changing the structure of levels would be an erosion of perks. It is not my job to figure it out . That responsibility belongs to Royal. We can speculate all we want but I am retired now, I do not need to stress over it. Agree!

Ski-Lady Posted March 21, 2018 #3356 Share Posted March 21, 2018 Nah, Jw is a supermarket whiskey. We make the real stuff here So what would you recommend?

Blizzard54 Posted March 21, 2018 #3357 Share Posted March 21, 2018 Don't they board based on appt and with an app now? That's what my cruise in May is doing. I am always on the boat during the first hour and that includes prior to any status. They do send out those assigned times now but it also states that anyone from Platinum and above can arrive when they want. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Redrobo Posted March 21, 2018 #3359 Share Posted March 21, 2018 Nah, Jw is a supermarket whiskey. We make the real stuff here Not in Asia though, Diagio have their own bar at Park Royal, they mix and match the labels to the food being served. Some nice West Coast Distilleries and a few new independent. Only just got back into whisky after many years absent. Suntory takes its roots from the highlands.

Rare John&LaLa Posted March 21, 2018 #3360 Share Posted March 21, 2018 That's cheap!! I pay twice that for just one cruise to go from JS to GS just to get the lounge perks back that we had on Oasis when the DL was a CL!! $$$ :eek: With the SL/CK, you get a lot more than you did with the old CL.

Diagio is here in Leven and have another factory in Kilmarnock. Should try and do the whiskey trail sometime. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigeck Posted March 21, 2018 #3363 Share Posted March 21, 2018 So what would you recommend? My boyfriend is a fan of single malt and we will be in Scotland at he end of August. I don't really like whiskey. I drink vodka. However, whiskey is a personal thing. I think when you come in August he will have a lot of tasting to do. He can make his choice. A bit like wine, lots of choice. Highland Park, Laphroaig, Macallan, Glenfiddich, Glenmorangie and many more Haig had a factory here but was taken over by Diagio All I can advise, have fun finding the best one.

Biker19 Posted March 21, 2018 #3366 Share Posted March 21, 2018 Don't they board based on appt and with an app now? That's what my cruise in May is doing. Are you sure you are boarding an RCI ship?

North of 60 Posted March 21, 2018 #3368 Share Posted March 21, 2018 You think it might be better if 1400 was the Pinnacle, 700 D+, and Diamond 175? Expand Emerald 80-175. Platinum from current base to 80. Sent from my iPhone using Forums Wouldn't it be more appropriate to have Pinnacles at 666? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigeck Posted March 21, 2018 #3372 Share Posted March 21, 2018 Glenmorange Glenmorangie is a good one. I've been to the distillery. My son was playing in a golf competition at Royal Dornoch and I had a run down to Tain with a few other dads. Interesting seeing it being made.
