On the Azura formal night menus were the same old boring food. I was so disappointed in the food in buffet and also MDR. First cruise that I never gained any weight and I think I actually lost some.
The store workers are hired by a outside company. They are paid a wage. The cruise director and his staff. shore excursions, photo dept are also paid a wage and aren't part of the daily gravities
I see your from Canada. The remember everything is US on the ships. So the $16 SC now becomes $20. The WiFi at 50% off becomes almost the regular price. With my calculations all I need to drink per day to break even is 3 drinks. It's so nice not getting a bill at the end of the cruise!!
I was on a Princess cruise to Alaska in May and was told that white were new cruisers and I just did a "ship tour" in Vancouver last Sat and again all new cruisers had white medallions. Maybe just North America???
