Sounds a lot like Carnival. They have work stations where you can learn to make pasta, as well as a lot of other cooking classes….for a FEE, of course!

Really? Ask about those long lines today.

Good! Remember this new boarding Green Blue Gray lanes was to simplify the process! Lol The old way, 2 lanes to enter outside was always efficient, or so we thought. Anyway, glad you’re OB! Have a great cruise!

Terrible! So, it’s all one line just to get inside to check in?

No longer a health questionnaire on the App.

GS should know by today. If you’re on a TA, inspections sometimes play into the EZ Check approvals. But, you should recheck with GS again this morning.

Maybe everyone was using up their free ones on the package? Most of the time, I saw maybe 3-4 tables occupied max. We were in the Piazza a lot and I would glance over there. Sorry I missed you. I think you were on our Enchanted TA also.

Looks like our 47 days on the Sapphire. Same way.

I feel it was dated, like most of the Ft Lauderdale hotels we have stayed in around 17th and the harbor shops area. However, it was clean and the service was good. It was over $350 a night, ridiculous. It may have been updated by now, so I’d check the recent reviews.

NP at all! They frequently take or retake them upon checkin anyway.

I would have to report it, if it now continues. Not only toxic but dangerous. I hope it ceases very soon for you. Keep us posted.

yes. I’ve ordered delivery from Total wine and grocery stores to my hotel in several port cities. You can also order on their website for pickup and just Uber over and pick it up. Very easy. Last time we stayed close to Harbor Shops and just walked over there. Go on their website and see the selection if you want delivery, you’ll see the option for delivery. Grocery store, Publix, you can check them out also, less choices, but next door to Total wine.

Thank you for the feedback. Have a great cruise!

You won’t get a letter, as you should check your travel summary. It will show you the boarding timeframe and the sail time. We just go early and board when they allow us to board. The lunch is usually midship 6 MDR 12-130pm. Because of inspections, we have boarded late, but you won’t know that ahead of time. Too many variables.

I was on for 47 days and in Vines often. Don’t remember a sign at all. Strange. I didn’t drink much because of so much ship movement for our last 3 weeks. But, I’ll be asking on the next cruise. 😆 Thank you for the thread.

Thanks. Interesting.

Is this for a holiday sailing also? Are you able to switch to all white or all reds ? TIA

Okay to side track on your own thread! Lol It was Skywalker’s. Participation will be better in Club Fusion, I bet.

They did not offer this while we were OB. Could this be a special offer due to a holiday sailing? Xmas and New Years. There are also IT guys OB. They should offer a red package and a white package. Habib may help with that. Let me know how it works out. You will get a first impression card in your cabin very soon. Fill it out.

The food and beverage manager is Habib from Turkey. He walks around constantly in the piazza area. Ask to talk with him, if you have problems or questions regarding the wine packages. He’s a great guy, just sailed on there for 47 days. We got off Dec 1st.

We stayed there in March, at the Hyatt Place. We crossed through the parking garage to Total Wine, ate at the restaurants in Harbor Shops and no problems at all. We felt safe there. Maybe late at night, with any area, could be issues. We were at Embassy Suites also last year, same area and also no problems.

Another push for the beverage package. Also, sale may be over for this one.

We sailed the Coral around So America and the smoke through the one entrance of the casino leading into the IC wasn’t bad in the morning and early afternoon, but we didn’t go to the IC at night. So not sure if it was bad at night?

I apologize to the OP. Just want to reply to this. PCL website says: Required paid ETA if your visiting. You buy it on the App. If you’re transiting or not getting off you will still need a transit free visa. You still need it ahead of your cruise. Guests who plan to go ashore in Sri Lanka require an Electronic Travel Authorization (ETA) when visiting Colombo, Sri Lanka. The Free Intransit Visa must be processed online and obtained in advance of your cruise. ETA applications must be made online. Select the "Transit ETA" option and complete all required information. Please print your ETA confirmation and bring it with you to cruise check-in to speed immigration processing. That’s how I read it. So, get the free transit visa and NP.

Ditto. I agree also.
