  1. Laura is not on board the WC. She is on another cruise that has the food channel thing going on.
  2. At this point in our age....having everything "all inclusive" has an appeal to us. Cost smart...maybe not, .....but Viking is not a bargain discount line anyway. 😉 We prefer higher end wines. Three drinks a day all through the day for us...not a problem. Not interested in splitting hairs and the taking out a calculator for price of each drink. Eh..... 🙃
  3. The filet mignon at Giovannis is just as good as Chops...and sometimes better. 😉
  4. I have been to Coco Cay when there was 4 ships...but it was during the pandemic days. They were taking turns at docking and leaving ......early in the morning loading and off loading crew members to different ships. The waiting ships just floating off to the side of the two ships. There were actually 3 Oasis class ships there at once. And of course little Rhapsody which was the ship they used to guarantee covid positive crew members. But normally....no...only 2 ships at once.
  5. As they say..."the only thing that stays the same...is change". Very specifically spelled out in the C&A language that the program can be changed at any time. When we started sailing with Royal, there were no Pinnacles...no Emeralds. There were no Diamond Lounges, no Suite's lounges....just the concierge lounge that allowed GS pax and above in ....and Diamonds and above in. Then the Diamonds were kicked out of the CL...now the D+ are kicked out of the CL on ships that still have them. D+ never allowed into the newly created SL. Now Pinnacles not in a GS and above can find themselves kicked out of the CL or SL. So yeah, angry Diamonds were kicked out suddenly with no notice some years ago. But they are not the only ones affected. And so it goes.
  6. Shhhh...don't tell anyone. 😉 On Odyssey, the bartender at Giovanni's wine bar taught me that trick, but he swore me to secrecy, due to not really being allowed to do that. He charged me 5 vouchers for a bottle of Kim Crawford SB that they normally get the usual 5 servings out of. 🤭 He knew I wanted to have an extra bottle in the cabin.
  7. Congrats my friend...on turning D+! 🙂 Woohoo...5 drinks a day per person now! 😄
  8. Mmm...nice! He did manage a couple of those 2 years ago when we spent a few nights in Barcelona before we boarded for the B2B in the Med on Wonder, which we stayed on for the TA to PC to start her runs out of here a couple years ago. 🙂 Looking forward to seeing Barcelona again.
  9. I got lucky and pretty much had everything I needed for the over 2 month 1st quarter WC... including bringing my 2nd larger duffle bag that held the foam mattress topper I brought on board and then cut to size (those are not true King size mattresses) on embarkation day. Sooo glad I brought it indeed! This gave me a par of what we will need for the 4th quarter 2 months in July. Just some minor tweaking, and should work out OK again. I did bring too many dressy blouses, but they were light and easy to hand wash.
  10. The confusion for the staff, as I mentioned before...is in the wording. If pax explain they are getting a C&A percentage discount on the bottle of wine, they can understand that. But asking for a bottle of wine using your voucher...is where the problem is. Vouchers are individual for individual drinks. Tier levels at 4 (D) 5 (D+) 6 (Pinnacle) per person per day.
  11. Absolutely true statement. Have witnessed several times with missing pax and what the crew does.
  12. Yeah, indeed resurrection....but hey...before Allure leaves our local home port...damn if I don't want to hop on board for a "quickie'. Have never met Allure yet, it's local (for now) and I do want to see Mamma Mia. Sooo...we have a quickie 4 night booked for early May. 😉
