The link that is embedded in what you posted has the per-day prices.

What's different? How was it worded previously?

That's not true. I can distinctly remember "No Shorts" signs outside of the MDR. They turned people in shorts away. It was definitely a rule at one time.

Do you have TSA precheck? The non TSA line at Orlando Airport can be really bad at times.

Do you have TSA precheck? Will you be checking luggage for the flight? Will you be walking off the ship with your luggage?

I didn't know they burned it. I thought they just grind it up and dump it.

Which solar eclipse? The National Weather Service website shows 5 coming up in the next few years.

Yes it was acquired by RC in 1988.

Ah I thought you meant "Perfect Day" was referring to Labadee.

Huh? "Perfect Day" refers to Coco Cay, not Labadee.

Block their number on your phone until you purchase the cruise.

How does it impact cruising power? I thought that the ships were self-powered.

What port/city?

There's more than one port.

Nope, I'm not saying that at all. You specifically mentioned affordability as the reason people remove the gratuities: "In my book if you can’t afford the tip you can’t afford the restaurant and if you can’t afford the gratuities you can’t afford the cruise." I'm saying that I would bet that affordability is the reason in extremely few instances, and that there are most likely other reasons people do it.

I'm not saying that it's OK to remove gratuities, but I suspect that most of the people that remove them do so for reasons other than their ability to afford them.

This is something that has always bugged me, the "normal" tipping percentage going up over time. Since it's based on prices that are also going up, it seems like double-dipping to me.

As asked earlier, what part of the world are you talking about?

No it's not.

You're joking, right?

See post #1.

This isn't entirely surprising. Noise cancelling headphones/ear buds are much better at cancelling out steady noises (like an airplane engine) than they are with sudden short-duration noises (like a whistle).

You really should try to convince them to do Princess. They might be the youngest, but with an Alaskan cruise, the ship is not the big thing...the scenery is. Princess knows how to do Alaska. They have several lodges where you can do land/sea packages, including a trip on the Alaska Railroad, which literally drops you off across the street from the cruise port. Denali is a must! If you are going all the way to Alaska, it would be a waste not to see it. Also, RC does not cruise to Glacier Bay National Park, which is also a must! (Princess does.)

Very doubtful. I don't know. Not really.

Lol this has also happened on Royal Caribbean.
