  1. Wasn't thrilled with ours, but decided to try something new and see how Deck 2 was. Turns out that they needed that room for Covid protocol and moved me to a spacious balcony on Deck 7. Patience paid off this time. But I doubt we'll do GTY again.
  2. I booked for September 4, back in January. We got our cabin assignment, oceanview, in March.
  3. It's a beautiful ship. It doesn't have Central Park or the boardwalk. The Solarium in more mid-ship than forward. The Promenade is much the same. You'll love it.
  4. We were without cash and I put it on the receipt - way too much trouble. It didn't appear until late the next day as a separate transaction. Next time, remember who served you and find them again later in the cruise, it's easier.
  5. Again, unless you live near a port and need an excuse to take an inexpensive 3-day. 🙂
  6. The only thing free in the diamond lounge are the evening appetizers, and the morning breakfast items and specialty coffee.
  7. The crab in the crabcake and the crab stuffed shrimp appears to be real crab, tastes like it.
  8. You can ask at the bar in the Windjammer. At the very least you should be able to get a mimosa. 🙂
  9. That works, but it defeats the purpose of having a beer in your room when you want one. 🙂
  10. I JUST got my new wireless card! I remember our first trip to England when we didn't have a chip card and couldn't pay for dinner one night with friends, which was a bit embarrassing. Europe is ahead of us on card technology, every time. 🙂
  11. Four free drinks a day is wow enough for me. 🙂
  12. And that's why they won't do it again. 🙂
  13. We always have a couple, because I put one on the small bag I carry around on board, and he puts one on his backpack in case he takes it to the pool deck.
  14. Did they 'just make diamond' on the last cruise, or did they get a cruise in with their new benefits? Our pin was delivered to the cabin (or was already in it?) on the first cruise AFTER we made diamond.
  15. I think they are paying attention to the ever-changing situation and are trying to figure out what it best for their bottom line. We'll see what comes next.
  16. IIRC, the last time we used a soda cup in the Before Times, it was good for an additional week beyond our end date. We joked about handing it off to some random person in line. But those were 7 days cruises - I have no idea what the length is for a shorter cruise.
  17. Breakfast - oatmeal. I go to the yogurt station and get seeds, nuts, and dried fruits, then get the hot milk, raisins (dried cranberries are better) and brown sugar with the oatmeal. All the fibers. 🙂 And then a pastry, smoked salmon, and BACON.
  18. Austrian striezel. I'm wondering if this, and the 'raisin bread' are the same thing. I absolutely love it. On the last morning, I always take a few slices with me, for breakfast the next morning.
