That’s quite a gamble when we are boarding in 48 hours on the explorer. Yikes!

Well I retired in 2017. So now we do take longer cruises!

You cleverly left out the fact “when we get there early”.

Don't forget Elites each get a free bag of laundry, While the don't have a lounge Elites have on of the specialty restaurants for them for breakfast. includes a couple of breakfast cocktails.

Well in the Midwest no matter how inexpensive the cruise there was the matter of flights, or driving (cost of gas, eating on the way)to the port. Good policy to get there a day ahead so hotel cost. Hay we got to eat when we get there a day early. So after this next cruise we will be diamond plus. I can most assuredly tell it was not quick, cheap, or easy. Hope that helps.

Couple of years ago we took a RCL cruise out of New Orlrans. Long story short we had to leave late. About 4 hours late! We had booked a specialty restaurant and had just set down. We ordered a bottle of wine with dinner. Next thing we knew the waiter informed us we were still in the Mississippi River and the wine would be subject to a tax. So there you go. OBTW we ordered the wine and very much enjoyed it with our dinner.

Several years back I was up late and watching a shopping channel on Xmas eve. The sale was for a basic Invicta dive watch normal price 199.99 but now 79.00 plus free shipping plus free gift wrap. So I bought 2 and gave them to my two sons who were in college. Gave them as belated Xmas gifts. A year later the watches literally fell apart. I own several Seiko automatic watches on is 20 years old. Still ticking.

We were on the Summit last September for the chefs table. When we arrived we were asked if we wanted a common garden variety wines, or the wine pairings (60 dollar per person not including gratuity). We took the wine pairings due to previous chefs table. We were not disappointed. We thought about just getting one wine pairing and one “regular”. Wines tastings are very subjective. But in this case it was a pairing. Enjoy your chefs table no matter what you choose. Addendum we can’t remember if the common wine was included or it too had a charge. We have the receipt for the wine 120.00 and 24.00.

Booked the 2026 Mardi Gras Constellation cruise. Let the good times roll. Its overnight and I shudder to think if we booked a hotel room during Mardi Gras!

Looks like we are going to 2026 Mardi Gras on the Constellation!

Yes it was. Thanks!

November 2024 we will be diamond plus on the Harmony. We each get a BOGO. Can we each book a BOGO and take an another couple (first cruise) with us. I could not find anything in the fine print.

That’s a good question.

This was very helpful.

Amen to that......
