I think you will be fine, just as long as one of you have the desired time, just go the venue upon boarding and change the other to the correct time. bon appetit and bon voyage

Yes, it is the CEO's fault that some callers have the propensity to be overbearing and rude and whiners... Then, they need to be calling the CEO's office and not the general number to have their attitude on full display and bluster and not take it out on those who have little control over the situation but there to help make it better if they can... or their supervisor or just hang up. bon voyage

I rather like that message as it reminds me to be nice to the agent who picks up as they were just given a one-way ticket to church because someone did not get what they wanted or the call was not picked up quickly enough!!! LOL bon voyage

Yes, if you have not pre-paid gratuities through your original booking which may include them. If you have a cruise only fare, yes the gratuities will be charged to your account which will reduce the OBC automatically. bon voyage

Yes, check your cruise planner and if that is not satisfactory, call X directly to confirm. bon voyage

1) Call your point of reservation to assist, failing that; 2) Cancel & Rebook directly with X, failing that; 3) Start at #1 again, failing that: 4) Enjoy your dining experience regardless... bon appetit and bon voyage

Does this mean that pharmacist cannot administer doses which may go bad because they were not used in time? Just another option to consider. I know many here in my area canvassed, early on in the pandemic, pharmacies to gain access to shots which would go to waste and many were able to gain them. I understand that this may not work in other countries around the world, just an idea as I Am sure there will be doses go bad daily and why waste them? In health and bon voyage

Just like in any sushi bar, everything is ala carte... There has been no "all you can eat" specials that I Am aware of, there... bon appetit and bon voyage

I agree, yet that calls for taking very conservative measures while aboard and when in ports and etc., because there is no data available outside what one can glean from posts here and other public available sources... In health and bon voyage

Actually, you mean that a pharmacy, if they are administered by them or your physician, will not administer as long as you pay them directly vs through insurance or government paying for it? Many individuals here in the U.S. have done so, early on and a few are doing so now for the 'xtra' boost... In health and bon voyage

While not sure, I do not think that X has any salt water pools... Or, at least no mention of them on their website. bon voyage

You are correct... Cheers and bon voyage

Have you checked with your life insurance agent??? LOL In health and bon voyage

To wit... LOL bon voyage

j - thank you, I did not realize that the corkage fee was popped from X... cheers and bon voyage

I believe that is in reference to sharing the package and not the wine... cheers and bon voyage

I suggest you bring at least one (1) bottle each aboard just in case you get stumped as to what to order and/or you want to enjoy a glass before/after dinner. If you consider what you enjoy to be premium, it may well be worth bringing it to the dining room and paying the corkage fee to enjoy with your dinner. I did this on our recent Bermuda sailing and it worked out well. Cheers, enjoy your sailing and bon voyage

Memory... LOL bon voyage

The correct math points one to 20% on the difference, otherwise that would mean service charge on a service charge. Cheers and bon voyage

Which ever aisle seat is mine... bon voyage

While I have not checked, yet is there not a place on X's website where technical issues can be reported? bon voyage

... or we can check X's website for this, too. bon voyage

j - I would not mind cleaning my cabin if that could be exchanged for someone cleaning my house!!! LOL bon voyage

Welcome back w1.. bon voyage

I do not think that the OP is trying to avoid paying gratuities vs just wanting to be left alone to savour their time away from the greater world. I have read here on CC, several posters have written the only time they left their cabin was when the room attendants needed to clean... they gave them 45 minutes a day to get in and out. As far as food went they contacted the F&B manager to request meals delivered from the MDR, and it was granted. Usually, I have read here on CC, passengers in The Retreat not wanting to be disturbed in their cabin and again, needed to allow the Room Attendant some time to clean up, no matter how quickly to achieve. They also, by request can have their meals delivered and served en-suite, which means that the OP, were they in The Retreat it is possible. Alas, being in Concierge, meals can be delivered, too. So no problems there, they just need to make an arrangement to have the empty trays returned and that can be done by phone call, too. Enjoy your sailing OP.... bon voyage bon voyage
