Bob,
My wife and I are going to be on the Sapphire for the 10/30 cruise to the South Pacific. Three questions for you and your wife:
1. We are thinking about doing our own laundry on board using the facilities. Do you know if we can use our medallion for pay or do we need cash or change to operate the machines?
2. Elegant dinner nights. I prefer to stay as casual and comfortable as possible wearing slacks and a dress shirt to dinner. Will this work for elegant nights? I read somewhere a jacket was required. Can you confirm? And how is the lobster?
3. USS Iowa. We want to try and tour it before we board the Sapphire. Maybe check our luggage at Sapphire then walk over to the USS Iowa and tour it for an hour or two. From what you have seen do you think this is feasible? Any issue your perceive with this plan?
Thank you, Mike and Shelley
