Pandering all the way... from the live entertainment, and recorded music, to the stupid texas flag that's painted on the bow of the ship (that's Carnival though). There is a suck-up factor unheard of in any other USA ports. I can understand the Chinese Market specific ships but this is weird.

It seems that the cruise lines have a penchant for pandering to texas. That's irrespective of the fact that their bread & butter are the other coastal states.

Talk about "Beating a Dead Horse"

You missed the boat 😉

Neither a NEW nor HIDDEN benefit 😉

Yes!

They just LOVE re-selling a stateroom after someone cancels when in 100% penalty 😞 Should be made to sail w/empty stateroom in this case as it's been fully paid for!

I agree! Although a nice change having Lobster on the menu I wouldn't let it drive any of my decisions on-board. Some lose sight of the fact that this small, "glorified jumbo shrimp" (1/4 Lbs. tail) is not that expensive...

Pretty sure that the max # of passengers on-board any Antarctic sailings is LIMITED by law.

You should ask whoever you booked the meeting room/Private Event with.

Silly comparison... not in the same league!

Depends on the current & imminently projected weather.

Sounds like you just answered your own question.

We did it on the Edge or Beyond... the Full Monty w/wine paring a few years ago. One and done for us! Chef's table on Royal was just as good, if not better, and roughly half the price. They give you a HUGE coffee-table sized cook book (~five pounds) at the end which although nice is inappropriate for travelers.

Haven't gone yet BUT the heated pool is a big plus in the Winter months 😉
