They are different. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We decided to use it for gratuities in cash instead of filling out the tipping form. Was really easy. Just went down and said I wanted to withdraw it and they handed me the cash. How do we find out if it’s refundable OBC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have to insert your room card into a machine, select the charge to room option (cashier has all the instructions) then once you do that just cash out the ticket. Brilliant did use some for slot machines then cashed out when we won Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

peanut head Posted April 19, 2022 #1135 Share Posted April 19, 2022 Hi Jim! Thank you again for this terrific post--I feel like I am right there with you--the photos are great. I was wondering, could you choose to have a room service lunch on the last day of the 1st leg of the B2B when the new passengers are boarding?

I remember in Nov of 1992 being unable to get to the Indian take away due to the fire 😪 ...so sad... though now much restored since then. Windsor is a lovely little town. My dad was at the chapel choir school as a choirister and sang at the King George Vs funeral in the St Georges chapel in 1936. If you get to see the chapel it is magnificent. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

raudacruise Posted April 19, 2022 #1143 Share Posted April 19, 2022 Well, I’ve booked a cruise similar to the March one I pretty much missed due to jail. 10 night Eastern Caribbean on Silhouette January 30, 2023. I booked a RS since that’s what I was kicked out of. Hope I get to stay this time. 😎 Looking forward to seeing Laurence & others. I really did enjoy Silhouette. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think sailing in the Caribbean is less risky than attempting TAs or long cruises like the 52-nighter I have on tap for next year. Which will get cancelled. Laurence is a real treat to sail with! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The timezones are much easier to deal with and the Seas and Winds have generally been MUCH calmer. Good to know. Thanks for that. Looking forward to the rest of the B3B!

rockraiders Posted April 20, 2022 #1146 Share Posted April 20, 2022 Does X usually offer tours for b2bs on turnaround day? I’ll be on b2b with turnaround in Amsterdam. I would definitely take advantage of a tour if offered. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We just heard on the news here in NZ last night that the government still hasn't confirmed when cruising will recommence even though it already has in Australia. Embarrassing. They might have done a great job keeping us safe at the start of the pandemic but we are now really over it😡 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
