I'm so glad we don't do this whole 'tipping' thing in the UK .. this is getting ridiculous 😂

There's a difference between tipping and a bribe 🙂

Makes as much sense as booking a forward cabin so you can be the first into each port.

then the person would be upset when the ship backs into port

Always find it funny how so many are so anxious to be on board first before others.  

 

Then the same people are so anxious to get OFF the ship first before others.  

 

😂😵

Lol- this is so me!  I want vacation to start ASAP, but then want to leave ASAP.  I wonder what this disorder is called?  In all

fairness, I want to leave ASAP to get to the airport and checked in.

 I generally have an aisle seat on an airplane. Unless I need overhead space, I don’t board with my assigned group because it doesn’t make sense for me to get comfortable in my seat only have to to get up when the window in the middle passengers arrive. 

 

 Everyone has an assigned seat, I never can understand why people ( in coach) are rushing past each other to get on the plane! It’s so much more comfortable to sit at the gate.  

 

 I have been putting off knee surgery, but now may take one of those miracle flights!

It was a SW flight

I concur with saving that $20. When I was  a Gold Member with my Father it did not take us that long to board around 11 AM.  Just think if everyone bribed the staff with a $20  there would be no priority boarding.  Also nothing is really open until 11:30 or 12:00 so what is 20 minutes more or less?

 

Just relax and you will board soon!

Only reason I could see is if they have only carry on bags and want to make sure there is still room left to stow their bag.

Well, for me it is- I want my vacation to start right away, and I have anxiety about missing my flight home 🙂

Laura was just on a Miracle flight from SJ to MCO. Around 20 groups boarded early with wheel chairs. Most were 'healed' when it was time to depart. 

 

Praise the Lord.

 

Yup...amazing the healing capabilities of an airplane ride.  🤪

"Me first" mentality?  😉 😄  Just kidding...can't blame you for wanting to catch an early flight.  🙂

My wife recently had her right knee replaced. On one of our recent flights we took the priority boarding as currently she moves slower than molasses in January going down the jetway. With or without the aid of her cane. We almost got ran over going down the jetway by the herds of cripples. I told my wife next time I'll trip them up with her cane. 😜

Will slipping a $20 to bartender get me drink package drinks without paying for a drink package?

Sure it will. Not sure why you would want to pay $20.00 for a BP drink. 😜

I know how that feels.  I was just "so lucky" 😞  to break my foot the very first night on Brilliance almost 2 years ago.  Was wheel chair/crutches, then walking boot time on next few cruises.  Uggh....

 

Hope your wife is all healed up now.  Good for her for getting it done!  Lots of people need to have it done...but are afraid to have it done.  She did the right thing!  🙂 Watch out on those ski slopes out there!!  😮

Thank you. The healing process is slow and at times still painful but pre knee replacement was a lot more painful. Hasn't stopped her desire to travel. Especially cruising. As you know once you're on the ship, legs up and drinks in hand. 😉

you need to pends a helluva lot more than a a twenty.   sail in a suite.  

 

  I suppose you could try  cheating and worming your day up the head of the line regardless, but if  there is any justice in the universe, you'd be publicly shamed and made to wait until your  actual boarding number is called.   

 

if you are so important that you can't wait the ten minutes between first  group and final,   and are too cheap to sail Suites, purchase the Key for everyone.  

Oh how I love people who want to buy their way to the head of the class.

Really ? 😳

Don't we have that already.   Key program is quite popular and offered by RCCL for those who want to  buy  their way to the head of the class.   No need to book a suite or get to a certain loyalty level for some of the perks.  Just buy Key program offered by RCCL.  Seem like the same thing to me.  I am not endorsing the key program, just stating the facts.

It’s an analogy...of course I’m not talking about one drink.
