There's the spirit!! 🥰

Look in your cruise personaliser. You're still eligible to bid, you just don't get the emails from your Big Box store I believe.

I'll make the laughter emoji bigger next time. Sorry gang.

I didn't say that I didn't. I hydrate, I empty. Repeat.

We've spent thousands on a beautiful cruise. We're not going to keester our liquor on jail style. We just get the package, which we do find the numbers work for us when you add the juices, coffees, waters, etc. Sample day: mimosa with suite breaky in the specialty restaurant, bottle of water; BAILEYS in my salted caramel latte, bottle of water; bloody Mary with bingo, bottle of water; fresh juice bar with you guessed it, water at lunch; Specialty dessert with BAILEYS and a water; pre dinner BAILEYS and coffee/espresso martini or two and water with appetizers; glass of wine with dinner; dirty bananas (yes plural, oh no!) And waters while taking in shows. And the mini bar serves the purpose of in room pre bed drinks 😂 Or the flight home😂

A TA who wants your future business would still book a free casino offer as a gesture of goodwill. I certainly would. (Yes, that's what I'm doing since I retired, enjoying my passion for travel) 😁😁

Apologies, I meant to type the CAYMUS one is held in CG for $140.

The difference is that the Silverado one is held in "the wine cellar" and costs less. The Causes one is held in Crown Grill and was priced at $140 I believe.

When is the last time that someone onboard asked?

It went into Bistro Sur LaMer space.

Very much appreciated! 🤗

The difference is that the shareholder OBC, FCD OBC, etc., are "gifted" from Princess. Gift cards are purchased. That is how it was explained to me by guest services, and makes complete sense. Not necessarily lovely, but logical.

Miss you too, but I'll be there tomorrow. I just have to finish off these world cruise bookings for that group and I'm on my way to you. Preakness, here we come; ready the champers!

Hmmmm....ours had blue and green turtles.

Thank you! We're coming in for three days prior, then a day after, before heading to New Caledonia for a few days, and I liked the look of their Business Class rooms 🙂☺

Any opinions on Radisson Blu please? 💕

Has anyone stayed at Radisson Blu? Thank you! 💕

Thank you for your travel journal. As always, your attention to wine details is excellent!

The gist is: their playground, their rules...both for the sanctuary and allowing Travel Agents to block tons of rooms on a new ship

Elites and suites: use those mini bars 😁

Second spoiler alert: coming in November, live from the Majestic: The Countess (jwattle) and The Commoner (c-boy) in Australia 😍

A lot of the blocking on the Sun is TA's holding space.

Another idea is getting those little shower caps and put them over the plate to n the fridge. They're like saran wrap without the cling 😁 https://www.amazon.com/Auban-Disposable-Waterproof-Plastic-Elastic/dp/B07W81X5HZ/ref=mp_s_a_1_1_sspa?crid=33UPAKN252KOL&keywords=shower+caps+for+women+disposable&qid=1683591926&sprefix=shower+caps+%2Caps%2C1318&sr=8-1-spons&psc=1&smid=A29TV60YO0CP7H&spLa=ZW5jcnlwdGVkUXVhbGlmaWVyPUExQlNPUjBMOVpPWE5MJmVuY3J5cHRlZElkPUEwNTY2NTQ1MkVBODc5ODFBUUFKTyZlbmNyeXB0ZWRBZElkPUEwMDIyODAyMjBQNFhVMTk3SVMwVyZ3aWRnZXROYW1lPXNwX3Bob25lX3NlYXJjaF9hdGYmYWN0aW9uPWNsaWNrUmVkaXJlY3QmZG9Ob3RMb2dDbGljaz10cnVl

From what I've seen, the wine lists on Oz cruises are much different also; something to look forward to! 🥰

You'll like the new upcoming Sun Princess then...it has a new area of the Sanctuary just for Suite guests, just like you mention.
