I’ve seen it under “manage my reservation” on the website.

I found a photo.

*How can they show movies or sports on the screen, or have a musician play at the same time as PB?* They don’t. Honestly, stop stressing. It’s a big space and there’s plenty of time to cater for all of us.

Just off Beyond. It was directly in front of the big screen, when I noticed it, and was not impinging on space nor seating. We were sitting having a drink in the rooftop garden and couldn’t hear it and could barely see it above the planting. You certainly wouldn’t have heard it from the Sunset Bar. The music and chat from the Rooftop Garden Grill and Sunset Bar are both much much more noticeable. It’s all going to be just fine.

It works fine. On Beyond, you can use it to turn your cabin lights on and off which I found childishly fun.

Women will need a scarf for the mosques. Hats aren’t enough. However, our guide did say that it was symbolic and you don’t need to worry about covering your hair completely. Knees and shoulders should also be covered. Although, the men’s dress code is far more relaxed, our guide was bothered by one man whose shorts were above his knees and suggested he pull them down a bit and untuck his t-shirt to cover up the low-slungness. Men and women will need to take their shoes off in the mosques, so I’d advise you to wear socks. The rule is to take your shoes off before you step on the carpet.

I doubt Italian police stations/prisons have the capacity for the thousands of tourists wandering about without their passports.

Realistically, what are they going to do if you don’t produce your passport?

Yeah, that last line has definitely been added since I booked.

Great topic. Boring, I know, but I really like the Caesar salad.

‘Specialty’ coffees means the ones with alcohol in or fancy flavourings and are only on the Premium package. ‘Premium’ coffees means the cappucinos, lattes etc and are available on the Standard package.

Wasn’t the buffet a bit of a ghost town in the evenings anyway prior to this recent change? It doesn’t seem entirely unreasonable to me to try to minimise waste and cut costs in an under-used venue.

And thanks to everyone else who answered my question. You are all so helpful, and I’m enjoying reading the responses to Stockjock’s original question, too.

Thank you 😊

Has anyone ever managed to find an Ephesus tour that didn’t end with a carpet demonstration?

Sprouts with scallops 😱

There are lots of 2 person tables but they are very close to the other 2 person tables, maybe 6 inch gap between. The ones by the windows and walls are two 2 person tables, so effectively tables for 4, and in the middle of the room there are runs of tables, so you might have close neighbours both sides. The difference from sitting on a larger table, is that you won’t be seated and served at the same time, so it’s up to you whether you want to chat to them or pretend they aren’t there. You won’t be able to have a private conversation and you’ll be able to hear their conversation. If you opt for Select dining, which is where you can just turn up at the dining room at any time during opening hours, the first two nights are busy, especially the first night. The member of staff on the door, will ask you what size table you want. It’s likely that if you agree to share a table you will be able to go in straight away or have a shorter wait than if you ask for a table for 2. You’ll probably be sent away with a buzzer which will buzz when a table comes free. After the first two nights it settles down and you may not have to wait at all regardless of what size table you choose.

It does sound lovely but ‘sun-drenched vegetables’ made me roll my eyes just a little bit.

In the U.K., when we have a bank/public holiday, most shops, tourist attractions, restaurants etc stay open because it’s actually a good trading day for them with others being off work. I can’t speak for Grand Cayman, and this is an unusual circumstance, but I wouldn’t assume anything yet. Thank you for your kind message, by the way.
