The Top Shelf Margarita in Craft Social is great. Not sure what it is called, but it is in their published menu. Be sure to get the Top Shelf - the regular margarita isn't very good.

We in the same boat! 🙂 We're on the Summit next April for the 16N Westward Transit!

We got the great upgrade deals on both our 2024 trips. Our 2025 Panama Canal trip doesn't show any offering to upgrade from classic to premium drink package. Has anyone else experienced this ? Is it possibly an oversight ? This same trip is offering WiFi upgrades which we purchased.

We have found that they cancel (and issue a refund) and you rebook...

I was hopeful, but no 20 percent off on any of our 3 upcoming cruises...

Thank you both for your advice!

Our cruise to Bermuda in May 24 will include 3 days / 2 nights docked at Royal Navy Dockyard. We plan to do a reef snorkel (ship excursion) upon arrival. After returning to the ship, the plan is to rent an e-car late afternoon and go to Hamilton for Harbour Nights (it is a Wednesday). Will parking be obvious? and plentiful? We plan to have dinner in Hamilton and return to the ship. Where to park overnight? At the car rental location? or somewhere else? Is there charging if I park other than the car rental lot? Next day we plan to drive to Tobacco Bay, Blue Hole, Swizzle Inn or Art Mels or Rosas. Elbow Beach, Long Beach, Horseshoe Bay, and Church Bay are also on the optional spots to hit before returning to the ship or go to on the final day. We will take our snorkel gear - which of these ^^ places is best for snorkeling? or somewhere else? Thanks to any responses!

Hmmm. I guess you got me on that one😁

Thank you for posting! We are scheduled for Bermuda late May '24. Curently in a SV. We looked at the upgrade this a.m. and it is 'only' about $1800 total to switch to the Sky SV. I'm almost tempted to pull the trigger - but we don't particularly care for Luminae. So, other than a larger cabin we don't see the value on Eclipse. We'll eat dinner in Bermuda two nights and probably book 2 Murano and 2 Tuscan, which leaves one night in MDR. Save the $ for a new Callaway AI Smoke driver 🙂

We really like the premium margharita in Craft Social. But, what we've found is when you ask for a margharita they don't prepare the top shelf unless you are very specific and point it out on the menu. The 'regular' margharita is offered on the classic package - the top shelf on the premium package. I know this isn't exactly what you asked, but it does point to making cocktails with well vs premium liquor.

Thank You for the repost!

I just had dinner at my local country Club. My impression from eating on ships and locally is that beef is not necessarily as good in general at the price points (even higher price points) I'd grade the 8oz filet I had tonite as a C and I was paying high prices at the aforementioned country club. Overall quality is now more expensive and harder to find. And some will pay up for the best. I'm a 'once in a while' I'll pay up.

I was with you on this itinerary... I didn't see the Prime Rib - good for you 🙂

We were on a 10 night (I think) southern caribbean over Thanksgiving and I think they had 3 Slient Discos We went to 2 (actually she went to 1 and I went to 2 🙂 ... I did stay out of trouble)

10 foot seas are not to everyone liking.... We're in NC and they are calling for a NE'r on Sunday ⛈️

Dancing include Slient Disco? Our fav! 😄

As the OP suggests... Don't let this ^^^^^ happen to you! Exhausting.

I 'tried' to leave. I did not. Other options do not fit for us. a) Those lines that are just too $$ for us. Just not interested in paying $$ for vacations. b) Those other lines that are just a comporable as X. Same issues (as mentioned) , so I know what I'm getting here and we are happy with SV / Prem / Spec Din. We know our sweet spot. c) Those other lines... I won't settle for anything less that X from a 60-something vibe , but want Martini Bar, Craft Social, Silent Disco. 🙂

You should have the option ... It's always an option so if you don't then maybe you are already Premium! Wouldn't that just be the shizzle 🙂 Don't worry about missing the 50% off, it's likely coming up again before your cruise. Just keep watching your cruise planner (daily)...

Both very good points! Although I won't read the PowerUp Points thread - I just don't have the time or desire.

We will be on X (Eclipse I think) for Spring 2024 to Bermuda. Just Bermuda. We've signed up for a Golf Excursion - still waiting on which course and confirmation.

what else to talk about? that's why we're (I'm) here 🙂 😁

^^ what @zitsky ^^ says...

I have to agree with 'confidence'. I currently have a choice to choose other than X, but my confidence in what I am getting with X gives me pause to go elsewhere (aka Princess).

Second place to what ?
