I kept having issues when using my Chrome account although DH's worked fine. App works. So, I used Edge and was able to get into everything.

We've done b2b before and after Covid and the process hasn't changed. But, it does vary between ships and ports. Some you have to get off and walk through the port by CBP (we've done that both before and after Covid). Some you walk right back on, some you don't and you have to wait a bit. Some you don't have to get off (not our experience on any of ours).We've had a b2b lunch on all of ours. Once in Giovannis (Oasis), once in the Solarium Bistro (Harmony) and once in the MDR (EN). You won't know til you actually do it. We're on a b2b on Jewel in 30 days so we'll see how they handle it.

We have an assortment of bills. $1 for our D+ drinks. $5 and $10 for tours. Larger bills for tips at the end of the cruise for stewards, waiters and the casino lol. As for the $2 bills, what I've heard from several people is the ports don't always accept them as they don't recognize them. There really aren't that many in circulation. I have one that I got when they first came out. Cash registers aren't made with an extra space for them.

Today is 30 days out for us and our docs and luggage tags were available this morning. We're on Jewel 6 and 13 Nov. I don't print the docs but I do save a pdf. I already printed our boarding passes so we're set.

@A&L_Ont quick question since you cruised out of T5. Is there a separate entrance line for suites? We've been out of T1 multiple times but never out of T5 and we'll be on Jewel on 6 Nov. Thanks!

It wasn't meant to be anything like the sitcom.

Love that movie but I also really respect the Pena-Vega's as a family.

First, I knew it was a reality show. It's been advertised that way for months. Second, we thought it was fun. Third, it's not supposed to be the same as the original sitcom at all. Have some imagination people. It is it's own show and the concept was never hidden from anyone. Just look at it for what it is, a reality show with a cruise as the backdrop. I also love Jerry O'Connell and Rebecca Romijn. They're a breath of fresh air in Hollywood where marriages last ten minutes. They've been together 18 years and married 15.

We've done that. We also found out that if you are a couple, one is the primary. If you don't change it on the primary's they will go with what the primary already had. We had the LA on EN change both of ours and our D+ and 340+ pt gifts back in April and it was correct in July after I had called last fall and thought I had changed it but I had used my number and not DH's so since they only look at the primary, it made no difference. I really miss being able to do it online.

No one asked.

Viking Crown is quiet. And on Vision class, they do Chef's Table in that Conf room at dinner.

I think they meant the plastic wine buckets they give you when you get a bottle of wine that needs to be chilled.

The last time we ordered fresh squeezed last Nov, it was terrible. The regular OJ is very good so we stick with that.

Your post just made it sound like if they're not using them for alcohol then they're not using them.

Those same non-drinkers may want to use their own vouchers for coffees, sodas, etc.

First, no one can smile 24/7. Second, everyone's resting face is different. You can be happy and not break your face constantly smiling, but you do you.

Agreed, especially with the wording.

I just saw a post on FB of a screenshot of the Bermuda TA with new rules. They are dropping vaccine requirements and testing for vaccinated effective Oct 25. Which is a bit ironic considering that's just about the time cruising to Bermuda ends for the season. I'm going to search for it again as it's not at the top of my news feed page anymore.
