Not according to the request form from suite host. The only rum that Louis Vuitton owns is Eminente. I recall seeing it at the Lobby Bar, but I doubt they are giving that away.

My advice is just ask your suite attendant - the two bottles of liquor we requested and got were not on the list that’s posted above Our experience was if it’s on the included list in bars then subject to availability you can get it 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
florisdekort Posted October 25, 2023 #104 Share Posted October 25, 2023 On day 5/14 we -finally- saw land! And the sun came out to welcome us. We enjoyed a beautiful but cold walk around Sydney, Canada - a charming little town. Most went to visit the Cabot Trail. Back on the ship it was time for cocktails at the Astern Lounge followed by dinner at Fil Rouge. After that we saw our first performance at the Journeys Lounge (the theater basically), a Billy Joel tribute show. Great fun! Another perfect day. We really enjoyed Fil Rouge but can see why some have commented on the low ceiling, and how close together the tables are. We’re only 200 passengers on this cruise, so it wasn’t an issue, but on a ship with 900 it would undoubtedly feel crowded. The service was - once again - outstanding. This ship simply has the best crew. (Sorry - hosts.) We loved every single course we ordered, esp. the 72 hour slow cooked beef short rib and the dessert soufflé. The only minor disappointment was the veal wellington. I was expecting meat wrapped in pastry, not pastry (a breadroll almost) with a tiny (~40 grams) piece of meat inside. See the photo. All in all however 9/10. I still think there should be more options for a late lunch. We tried to be back on board by 2:30 pm for pizza, but we ended up waiting for a tender for about 20 minutes, so arrived at the Emporium Marketplace around 2:40 pm, together with 30 others or so from our tender. The place was already emptied, cleaned and closed. A slice of pizza would have been nice, but as you already guessed, we somehow managed to survive until dinner 😉 (Ship photo by Bill Warner.) 8 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
florisdekort Posted October 26, 2023 #105 Share Posted October 26, 2023 (edited) We’re in Saint John, Canada today. The sun is out and half the town smells of marijuana. It must all be medicinal; I would be depressed too if I lived here 🤣 We are going to be brave tonight and try Emporium Marketplace for dinner. We hate buffets and we especially hate no table service during dinner, so let’s see how we go. We’ve heard many great things about the pizza and pasta, and we can no longer resist the urge. (We never have lunch, so dinner is our only chance.) The Captain cancelled the Captain’s Table with only 2 hours’ notice yesterday, but apparently it’s going to be rescheduled.

We loved our dinner at Emporium on our cruise. We ate there once and it felt great and we were definitejy attended to.

The Marine Traffic app also shows you the position of the ship in real time. And there’s a large electronic display at the port entrance that shows ships and terminal numbers, that (taxi) drivers look at. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

USB - Yes Power - No only on one side (in our case it was on the left as you face the bed) - at least that’s the case in the OT suites - but the room attendant can organise an extension cord if you need power on the other side of the bed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interestingly, our room "host" told us that extension cords were not allowed - so I hid mine running under the bed to power my CPAP. I think he knew, but didn't rat us out. But OTOH, none was provided by the ship - luckily I always have one with me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since we were using a devise in the bathroom with ejecyric tooth item it was odd not to have a bathroom plug.we survived just fine 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

florisdekort Posted October 27, 2023 #119 Share Posted October 27, 2023 The next cruise, 3 November, has ~450 passengers, incl. a significant number of travel agents and influencers. Subsequent Caribbean cruises are currently around ~500. The Christmas cruise is ~700. From a very reliable source on board the ship. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paying guests will be treated like second class passengers. Watch how they will fall all over the “influencers” It’s a real turn off of the Mediterranean Shipping Company.
