On the plus side I turned Diamond Plus on this voyage 😂 

 

Now I really don’t need a drink package any more !  Like EVER and 30% off on beverage package makes it cheaper to buy it onboard unless the price falls below $69.99 per day but again wasted on me 😂 

FYI - the letter is incorrect for amount off internet package.  It's $51.98 off.

 

Did they auto upgrade you to D+ or did you talk to the LA to manually upgrade?

I was taking to the Diamond Lounge concierge and they passed the information along and on turnaround day my key was updated!

On this voyage it’s better to use the days … because day 1 no Wi-Fi for me, day 2 I use a day, day 3 PortCanaveral I use cell, Day 4 CocoCay so  technically I don’t need it until late and I can share it into the next day which is Nassau. Then I buy 2 days worth.  Wi-Fi at a “bargain” 😂

Bingo

 

Wow those bingo cash prizes are HUGE

 

$1500 for blackout on the first 46 numbers

All good … I blame the internet and rather have that upset me.. I went and did something else lol 😂 it was the last day so I figure I would catch up the following day but disembarkation/ embarkation was a mess 

Glad to see you're back. I have to admit I was getting a bit concerned too. The laundry hypothesis was fine for one day but the hours were beginning to add up! 🙃

Thanks so much… not to worry the food will continue to flow… I am on my way to Windjammer now 😂 

There are so many dessert choices in the WJ on the Oasis class ships. And I seem to remember Adventure having tons too. On Anthem and Odyssey the desserts were relegated into two little corner sections with a paltry number of choices. As a dessert lover I was disappointed on those two ships.

So sorry about the delay and I appreciate the concern!  Much much love!  I wish there is a Wi-Fi insufficiency button I can press 😂… it was just loading loading loading and won’t let me do a thing … let’s keep the fingers crossed!

Again not the biggest fan of the Quantum or the Quantum Plus ships … that being said I will be on the Anthem in March … fun 😆

Come and join us on Anthem's 23rd of April sailing. It's 8 nights with a "bonus" stop in Miami and the prices are ridiculously low.

Hi @BennyBrun! We just got off the ship on Sunday and I was disappointed to see that they didn't have any of the model ships in the shop the week we sailed. I have collected a model from each cruise I've been on and this would have been #19!!! 

 

Did you happen to notice if they had them in stock this week? I was going to reach out to concierge and see if I could arrange to purchase one remotely.

 

Thanks so much - I hope you're enjoying your last week & having slightly better weather than the prior week 🙂

I am sorry to hear that… yikes.  I will stop by the shop later tonight or tomorrow night to check it out.  Today is Port Canaveral and tomorrow is CoCoCay so they have weird hours at the shops.

And very nice it sounds too!  

And, of course, I will be joining you virtually! 

I have not been on Symphony yet. Need to rectify that as soon as I can!

Yes you must rectify that situation immediately and be on the Symphony.  And if you are not doing UDP make sure you sign up for traditional dinning.  That is key!

[BennyBrun]

Here’s a video I took around the “waiting section” of MDR around 7pm.  If you think you are better off with My Time Dinning … please rethink that strategy… they really want you to make a reservation for dinner … this is not even lobster night!
