  1. Eggs are almost always cooked in nonstick pans. And spray is bad for nonstick pans. So they may be reluctant to use spray. Spray on nonstick pan
  2. I'd like to thank those who actually work in the cruise industry who come here and give us the straight poop. It is very appreciated and you are very valued here.
  3. It's probably not an issue with Viking, but many cruise lines are in a precarious financial state. And a lot of us are old enough to remember when there were a spate of airline bankruptcies and people who paid with a credit card giot the charge removed, while people who paid by check went into the pool of unsecured creditors and had to wait a long time for their pennies on the dollar refunds.
  4. It wasn't that the shower was just small, it was that after seeing it in YouTube videos it was apparent that for me it would be unusable. I'd need to either go the the gym or spa to shower or rely on those spongebath sheets, and that's not something I want to be doing on vacation. It's too bad because almost everything else on Azamara seemed very appealing to me. But no matter good a deal is, if there's a deal breaker there's no deal. I'm happy that it isn't an issue for you. But you just did the same thing as the folks on the Azamara board, minimized my issue as if it was no big deal. Being able to take a shower is not an amenity, to me.
  5. That's what was so sad about the un-usable, for me, showers. Everything else about Azamara seemed really attractive.
  6. They aren't up to the standard I would expect of the cheapest cruise line out there.
  7. When I mentioned the tiny showers and how it was a deal breaker for me on the Azamara board the faithful actually got mad and a little insulting.
  8. I considered booking a cruise on Azamara, but I'm a big guy and the tiny showers were a deal breaker for me.
  9. And there is a certain element that insists on booking through the cruise line and then complains about the difficulty of dealing with the cruise line.
  10. This doesn't answer your question, but there is a very good cruise database (that is NOT a TA, mods) called CruisePlum that, among other things, lets you search for solo accomodation, including solo cabins and solo supplements on double occupancy cabins. It's at CruisePlum.com.
  11. And beyond HS. Most people who go to Harvard work that into every conversation.
  12. How would the OP know that? But now we see that he meant it seriously, not as a joke.
  13. Truer words were never spoken. Whether you are determined to be happy or unhappy, you can always find reasons to make it so.
  14. Does that advice apply to people with "priority" check-in?
  15. Unlimited cost me about $144 for my 16 day Hawaii upcoming. And FWIW, there are some interesting YouTube videos of the laundry operation.
  16. Personally, I can't imagine why anyone but me would be interested in how many *s or medallions I have.
  17. I completely agree with you there. His appearances on the Tonight Show are legendary, IMO.
  18. Would that level of entertainment be acceptable today? And what was the entertainment like on other lines?
