5,000+ Club (4/15)

  1. We were on the Beyond in Feb. The Eden Cafe has added some items that are not free. There is a Lobster Roll for $14.99 and I think a Philly Cheese Steak Sandwich for $9.99, there may have been other items. Could be wrong about the actual prices as it wasnโ€™t anything I was really interested in, especially when it wasnโ€™t included. Too many other options available without paying extra.

  2. I donโ€™t know what you consider quiet. It all depends on the passengers. The WCB could be quiet but if there is a group of friends/family it can get loud. There is also the noise coming up from the Martini atrium/Martini bar area. Both places will start to get filled up for the 5pm HH. Eden could be quiet but they also have activities going on and also the HH crowd. Usually there will be a string soloist or a duo performing. For the most part it isnโ€™t very noisy The Sunset Bar or the bar at the back of the buffet would also be quiet at that time. Not too many there as it is outside, and remote from the dining rooms unless they are eating in the buffet that night. The Club if open but there always seems to be some organized activity when it is. If in a suite the Retreat Lounge would be the best place. Happy cruising ๐ŸŒŠ๐Ÿšข๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ๐ŸŒ…
  3. Agree with you. I think many do like that dungeon with the heated church pew but not for me. We donโ€™t use it when it is included, or the free day as a CC status perk. Happy cruising ๐ŸŒŠ๐Ÿšข๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ๐ŸŒ…
  4. Wish I would have known this. I recently purchased some off of EBay. ๐Ÿ˜ฑ๐Ÿ˜ข๐Ÿ˜ฉ NOT Happy cruising ๐ŸŒŠ๐Ÿšข๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ๐ŸŒ…
  5. We went to an adult game show on a different Silhoutte sailing. It was really idiotic. The theater was divided to make to teams. They would take a player/rep/volunteer from each side and they would have to guess the 10 most common words used for certain body parts, sex acts and etc. It ended up people yelling out words from the audience. Points were awarded for the wining side. In the end it didnโ€™t matter who won. We were doing a B2B and didnโ€™t attend on the 2nd cruise. Happy cruising ๐ŸŒŠ๐Ÿšข๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ๐ŸŒ…
  6. One issue is that making the animals more of the resources and the ships are trying to go โ€œgreenโ€. I doubt you would want to use this towel afterwards. One night we came back to our cabins and didnโ€™t see any towels in the lav. Problem was that they were used to make the towel figures that were hanging from the ceiling.

  7. Back in 1973 we were at Disney World. It was our 7th anniversary. We were at the Golf Resort for Brunch and had our 2 children with us. One as wearing a shirt that had Downriver AYSO Soccor on it. There were 4 females at another table. They said that we must be from Michigan as they were at one time from a city in โ€œDownriverโ€. We started talking and they said that we really seemed to enjoy each otherโ€™s company. We said it was our 7th anniversary and we were celebrating with the Champaign Brunch. They thought it was amazing that we were married 7 years. They were all divorced after 2 to 4 years. We also thought it was great that we got past that 7 year itch. It seemed like a long time at that time. Not that it was a big chore or struggle to be married, or stayed married. It was just the time factor. Now it has been so many it is getting to be old stuff. Pushing 60 years. Pretty soon we can apply for SS and Medicare again based on that time span. ๐Ÿคทโ€โ™‚๏ธ. When they ask the audience how long they have been married we never respond. Donโ€™t see any purpose. It is like the person that sailed the most. Let them have the glory for what it is worth. I also want to know how old you have to be when you now become young? ๐Ÿ™„ Happy cruising ๐ŸŒŠ๐Ÿšข๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ๐ŸŒ…
  8. We were confined to our cabin for 5 days because of testing positive for Covid in 2022, Had room service for the 5 days. We were in a suite and had butler service. After that I no longer want room service. if you donโ€™t ask for something you donโ€™t get it. Ex. Toast. That is what you got. No butter, jam or etc. Luminae burger. That is what you got, no mustard, ketchup for the fries, and etc. salt and pepper? Didnโ€™t request it so we didnโ€™t get it. Everything always arrived cold. We just got off of a few weeks in a suite. Didn't even ask for coffee to be delivered in the morning. We were happy to be able to leave our cabin and get it from cafe al Bacio and enjoy it out of our cabin or get it in the retreat lounge and enjoy that area. Happy cruising ๐ŸŒŠ๐Ÿšข๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ๐ŸŒ…
  9. I donโ€™t recall any dining room being open for lunch on port days except maybe a specialty restaurant. The dining staff needs to get some time off when in a port to use the wifi, buy some personal supplies and etc. Happy cruising ๐ŸŒŠ๐Ÿšข๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ๐ŸŒ…
  10. In Alaska you may also be able to connect to your cell plan without any extra charges. It is in the USA. Just be careful when still near Canada unless your plan covers that. Happy cruising ๐ŸŒŠ๐Ÿšข๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ๐ŸŒ…
  11. To add to my previous post we pre purchased during a Black Friday sale. I think we got 3 cards for $24. I was planning on using my CC status to get the 4 for price of 3 when I picked up the cards. Found out that the benefit doesnโ€™t and I think it states that when purchasing. I didnโ€™t read the fine print. It was still a better deal. The sale time and location will be posted in the daily paper. It is usually a few hours prior to the game. One time it was at the casino cashier and on our last cruise it was in the Reflection Lounge. I stood in line while my wife left to find a some seats in the Reflection lounge. It was a very long line. When I got up there I found out that I needed my wifeโ€™s sea pass card because they were bought in her name. The clerk told me that I wouldnโ€™t have to wait in line again, get her card and come back to the front. You know how that turned out. There were a lot of angry passengers telling me where to go. I still had to wait while getting all of the rude and hostile comments because she was processing another passenger. That person was getting hostile because she wanted the CC benefit of 4 cards for the price of the 3 that she purchased prior to while on sale. She wanted to see it in writing that the benefit didnโ€™t apply. She wanted to see a supervisor and was getting very nasty. The clerk asked her to move aside while waiting for one to come but she refused to move. The clerk now ignoring her started to process my cards. The person waiting for a supervisor yelled at her that she couldnโ€™t give me those cards as they were hers and she wanted them. While waiting I found that I wasnโ€™t the only one that needed to get the other sea pass card as others also came to the front because of the same problem. This became a problem because they were now trying to get ahead of me. Make sure you have the sea pass card with the name that they were purchased in. On that cruise I won $5 in casino play. I played VP to use it and hit 4 aces with a 3 on my last $1.25. Won $500 There was a lot of drama involved for no reason. Things werenโ€™t very clear. 1. You donโ€™t get 4 cards for the price of 3 using the CC benefit if purchased with a discount promo 2. Have the sea pass card with the name of the person used to purchase them or have that person stand in line to get them Another tip is to play the game that is earlier in the cruise. Most lower amount of winnings on the card are in casino play. The higher amounts like $300 and above is in cash. If you wait until the game that may be played on the last day you may find the casino very crowded to play your winnings as people are using up their SBC. Plus you may decide to play again if you enjoyed the first game. Happy cruising ๐ŸŒŠ๐Ÿšข๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ๐ŸŒ…
  12. The servers and staff will gather around and sing Happy Anniversary. You may get a cake with a sparkler on it. I think you have to let them know as I donโ€™t think it is passed on from the form you fill out. We donโ€™t let them know as we donโ€™t like the attention, or disrupting the dining area. The butler or attendant may decorate your bed with rose pedals and a towel figure if you designate you are celebrating something. Happy cruising ๐ŸŒŠ๐Ÿšข๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ๐ŸŒ…
  13. Yes it is. I donโ€™t think anything will happen to correct it. Happy cruising ๐ŸŒŠ๐Ÿšข๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ๐ŸŒ…
  14. Why donโ€™t they sail out of Houston, NOLA, and etc? Happy cruising ๐ŸŒŠ๐Ÿšข๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ๐ŸŒ…
  15. They usually have 2 game sessions and will be posted in the daily paper. It is always on a sea day. The 4 cards are to be used for 1 game session. You do not have to attend to play the cards. All you have to do is check the cards at the casino after the game and they will tell you if you won anything. It would be like a lotto card for the matches. If the dollar amount matches the dollar amount on your card for that box number you have a match. I think you need 2 matches to win something. The more matches the more you win. If you donโ€™t attend you wonโ€™t have the chance to be the playing contestant, or a chance to win a cruise. I doubt it would conflict with anything of importance unless you have a nooner scheduled. ๐Ÿฅฐ๐Ÿ˜ It is a fun and entertaining activity. Happy cruising ๐ŸŒŠ๐Ÿšข๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ๐ŸŒ…
