3,000+ Club (3/15)

  1. There are 4 I category cabins on deck one that are larger. Then there are larger insides on each deck around the midship elevators.
  2. You might be able to go to guest services on the last night and pay your friend's portion with their credit card. Then let the rest go through yours.
  3. I haven't tried to charge directly for a cheaper drink, but on a previous cruise we were able to charge for a drink that we bought for someone else. So it didn't look like we were sharing the SBP.
  4. Regardless of religious affiliations, I think everyone likes to share celebrations and good will. On our last cruise, along with cash tips, we had chocolates, cashews, dried mango and Mi Goreng (a ramen made in Indonesia) to give our stewards. You should have seen the smiles on their faces. I don't think they were faking it. Next day they said they had cooked it up and shared with their friends. I know they will buy the same noodles when they are in port. I understand that money has value but so does the human touch when you're away from home for so long.
  5. When we haven't finished all the bottles in a wine package they prorated the prices for the bottles we used. But the was a few years ago.
  6. I did the health details on Verifly yesterday and it automatically populated my HAL form today.
  7. And the shower is just an outdoor pole in a half circle glass enclosure. Not a full shower room.
  8. You'll have so much to explore. We'll be on her too next week.
  9. If they don't swipe your card when you get a free drink it shouldn't be counted against your SBP.
  10. I haven't cruised or even travelled since early 2019 and feel like a novice traveler. I know to do the cruise check in and fill out their health questionnaire before leaving. We'll fill out Verifly app for the cruise. We'll be flying from Ottawa to Fort Lauderdale, connecting in Newark. We'll clear US immigration and customs in Ottawa. Is there any benefit to use the Mobile Passport Control app? Is this app helpful for disembarking the cruiseship in Fort Lauderdale? Will we have to fill out a US health attestation with our vaccination records? Looking forward to finally be back cruising.
  11. My daughter also tried to get the OBC as she teaches spec ed. But was told that it doesn't include Canadian teachers.
  12. When we've changed a booking the PCC just transfers our deposit from the cancelled booking to the new one. It doesn't have to be that difficult. And I agree that your booking confirmation should have all your extras listed.
  13. We'll be on board in November too, so this is very timely information. Thank you.
