Happy Cruiser 6143

Room service must be lazy on E class. Yet another reason not to sail those ships. Trays in the hall on the floor are a hazard to those who must navigate by scooter.

Well, when you're not in quarantine, please don't leave your room service tray in the hall. Call room service for pickup.

I had it once. It was a PIA. And I don't need the points.

I gave up a long time ago. I used to get the PUP e-mails and then one day they mysteriously stopped. The marketing stuff continues to flow, however. My best advise is to follow this thread. There is always some kind soul who announces that a new PUP opportunity has arrived.

We're there on April 22 on the Reflection. Along with a giant RCI ship.

My favorite part of that list is -Not designed by Kelly Hoppen. I have sailed on the Connie several times, including the itinerary OP is discussing. I'm a huge fan of the M class ships, although less so of the two that Ms. Hoppen screwed up.

Yes, I use it all the time.

The problem on many cruises is limited or virtually no participation on roll calls.

Loved the SJ Bennett books. I thought Thursday Murder Club was pretty boring.

Regardless of the dining room, the sommeliers are not part of the waitstaff tip pool. They should be tipped separately.

My Pro Max 11 is still humming along. I think my daughter has bought 2 new iPhones since I got this one. She likes the smaller one and her batteries keep dying on her. Mine will hold a charge for two or three days if I don't use it a lot. The only thing I would like about the newest version is the upgraded camera, but I'll wait until this one dies because it was very expensive.

That's hysterical. Perhaps they have realized the error of their ways. Or, the new designer could be worse? Hard to imagine, but I suppose it's possible. What a laugh that it's a selling point that it wasn't designed by Kelly Hoppen. I'll reserve judgment until I see the actual new designs.

I've decided Ms. Hoppen is the queen of uncomfortable chairs. Her tables aren't much better. And yes, I'll bet she laughed all the way to the bank after she sold all this junk to Celebrity.

Luminae is different. Tips are pooled there. Except for the sommelier, who should be tipped separately. Sommeliers are part of the bar group, not the restaurant group.

There are times when you want to see that message and other times--not so much.
