It throws the dinner service off if you arrive at your table too long after your assigned time. Fifteen minutes is ok, half an hour is pushing it, but much later and you may find the door closed
They had figured out a way to offer this in Fort Lauderdale but I’m not sure that it ever took place because that was just about when the shut down began. Passengers still would have had to vacate the rooms so they could be readied for the new people. They could hang out at the pool and go to the Buffet. But it’s not being offered now.
my guess is that they were “ zeroed out” of the ship and then “readmitted” on day passes.
How would you possibly find all the people who actually serve you? So many people work the buffet, and the MDR breakfasts and lunches, I don’t see how you could possibly locate them all
I am pretty sure that neither of you would get upgraded. Even if you both bid on the move up and are both accepted, it’s highly unlikely that you would be given rooms adjacent to each other so it won’t work.
The cards are not pre-punch but if you go to gastrulation’s, they can punch a hole in them if you wish.
They will scan your card for each drink you order and there is nothing to mine unless you go over the price allowance of your beverage package.
I remember a time when there were soufflés offered for dessert occasionally. They weren’t on the printed menu, and the waiter would just say “tonight we have a special dessert for you,” that being chocolate soufflé, or Grand Marnier soufflé.
Be careful. The assigned dining room for the Aqua suite is Luminae, not BLU.
Aqua Suites can request to dine in BLU but it is on space available basis and not guaranteed
Not quite true unless on a closed loop cruise with all EU ports.
most, but not all Mediterranean cruises make a stop at a non-EU location, which then avoids the VAT tax.
Even though it appears on the website that you can book a time for a table on an edge class ship, this is not the case. It’s entirely open seating. So the information you received was correct. If you want a table like that, you must arrange it on board with the Maitre D.
