One of a few duplicates... Sorry and thank you for your indulgence, in this case... Cheers and bon voyage

me - think that if one of us wants something on the $100k level, we would bring at least, if not four (4) bottles aboard with us and the rest would be history AND the word be out and about our wine(s) brought aboard and not purchase... The Sommeliers would be very smitten, especially if they were included in the tasting!!! My only reference point for this is, on one sailing I brought several bottles of a limited edition Paso Robles red blend.. presented it to the Sommelier and requested that it be opened to breath for at least four (4) hours and chilled... I also said, please sample it before the decanting and we all would taste it afterwards.... Talking about being a rock star... I got whatever wine I wanted in all dining facilities after that... well, with the exception of wines which were priced beyond $150/bottle. They knew... Yet, cheers and bon voyage p.s. I do intend to bring two (2) similar bottles on our next sailing in 45 days!!!

I can just see the Sommelier clutching his cork screw.... Cheers and bon voyage

pb I keep waiting to be on the same sailing for such great hospitality on your part... LOL Please do not forget me when you are ready to splurge!!! Cheers and bon voyage

sr - I will make sure that I Am available for that party and likewise, I trust were I to book an IS you would be available for mine, likewise... I always provide at least a six (6) week advance notice... Cheers and bon voyage

Sheepishly, NOT - how do I get a lottery ticket to join you???? LOL Cheers and bon voyage

Yes, let us not forget about that... LOL Cheers and bon voyage

Well, instead of sailing on X right away, one could take the same amount of money and purchase the stock, then you would have clear title and staff aboard would know, too... LOL Cheers and bon voyage

Because you can and possibly X offers amenities at such a level which is passable for its' price point... Besides, one could have it served in their suite.... Cheers and bon voyage

Well, were we on one of The Edge Class of ships, the Iconic Suites offer that.... LOL Cheers and bon voyage

Also, please do not overlook the fact that you can see the next nights menu and make changes to your liking all sans going to the buffet.... bon appetit and bon voyage

I understand... not too much fun. Just think, once resolved you can continue, in earnest, planning for your great sailing ahead!!! Which sailing have you booked??? bon voyage

Yet, ohhhh so worth it at sail away!!! LOL The rest will be fun... bon voyage

b67 let your heart and spirits rise!!! It most likely is an IT issue and will get sorted once you speak with someone at X or your TA wherever you booked the sailing. Once you get on-board you will look back and laugh and start the enjoyment of your holiday, for sure!!! bon voyage

Please tell us where you have read that 'smoking' is being permitted in any part of the casino???? That would be news to the members of this forum, for sure!!! We really would like to know this 'factual' information, ASAP... bon voyage

A good approach, for sure.... LOL bon voyage

ji - you always offer up some wonderful ideas!!! Methinks that might get me dis-embarked at the next port after being quarantined with guards at my cabin door!!! bon voyage

Hopefully, I will not have to use my stripes when on the same sailing soon... With a group of 13 most like to be at the pool (not me though) but have no issues hanging out at the pool for 35 minutes before moving things... of course asking pool staff where I could place them, especially if they are not. bon voyage

c4 hopefully they will not have a full compliment of lights, cameras and director chairs making a film to support the desire... LOL bon appetit and bon voyage

z it is not "... a dumb question?" and you knew you were going to ask anyway... LOL I think aspartame in club soda might work???? Cheers and bon voyage

ms thank you for catching that one... bon voyage

spb I would think they have not "...lived a blessed life..." if trauma is in their vocabulary, it makes me think that it is not the first trauma they have suffered... LOL bon voyage

You may want to review and post this question in the Spain Port of Call forum here... bon voyage

Max $200 and there are ways, possibly, around that... bon voyage

Totally different situation all together... bon voyage
