jslev9 Posted September 17, 2023 #1 Share Posted September 17, 2023 (edited) My wife is sailing with a four-cabin bachelorette party on the Gem in mid-February and I've been roped in as the unofficial travel agent. The bride-to-be *really* wants to do Teppanyaki one night so I know I'll need to book it as soon as reservations open on 10/19 but I can't figure out what time they open. Is it midnight EDT? Thanks in advance! Edited September 17, 2023 by jslev9 Changed EST to EDT 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You don't understand why a random cruiser booking a Club Balcony doesn't read all the details of their cabin? Ok. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My first booking of a Club Balcony was for the double sink, and a full shower. Only on my second booking did I realize that I could book dining at 125 days instead of 120. I will stick with my opinion that this is the least known thing about the Club Balcony. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They don't, they just rush to someplace they can ask the question (besides Google) and ask, then wait for someone to answer. Often, the answer can be found faster by doing a little investigation of your own rather than waiting for an answer from others... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And, some get quite upset when you refer them to google/search engines. Amazing is those who ask "how far apart are hotel A and port terminal B" when google maps will answer that in seconds. Also amazing are those who ask "what restaurants are close to hotel B" when google maps will answer that too. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sometimes it's in how the question is phrased as well. I recently traveled for business, rather than asking what places were nearby (I had done some searching prior to my arrival, I like to eat at local places when I travel rather than chains) I asked "as a local what do you recommend" or "what is a must-try restaurant". In all cases the suggestions were excellent, but getting answers to those questions from Google requires a little more work and reading than just looking at what's nearby.

Google also provides 'reviews' which are at least as reliable. The fact remains that some would rather ask random strangers than using search engines to do their research.

Ok, you are nearly always technically correct, UK. But damn, man. Is this all you do all day? Look for minute technical errors in other's posts? It gets a bit tedious, in my humble opinion.
