I'm curious, what wine can you buy for $40 with the discount? I also take advantage of HH with one or 2 Cosmopolitans sometimes I get grey goose but most times its Absolut vodka which is perfectly fine. Then I'll order a nice Cabernet if I don't already have a bottle waiting for me at the MDR. I don't do specialty dining so big savings there. My day starts with a mimosa then on sea days I may have an Aspen coffee at Cafe El Bacio. Apart from the Aspen which is 2x on a 10 night cruise all other drinks are covered by Elite plus.

They don't encourage it but they won't stop you. I always take a mimosa to the MDR. I don't always have a big breakfast either, sometimes just toast and cereal. A mimosa at the MDR is $11 plus 20% maybe more since my cruise in November.

844 418 6824 is the Captains club phone number. They will e mail captains club for the missing points or any other issues one might have. I have always found them pretty quick to respond via email. A couple years ago I was missing a lot of points from two cruises as I sailed solo and was only awarded points based on single occupancy and the points were added within days.

Yes to both but I'm too frugal. I guess old habits are hard to break. 😆

If they are not in your account I would call Tuesday; they answer pretty quickly early morning. They did say the 14th so have the rest of the day to post.

Are you allowed to bring onboard a small 6 pack of Evian? Was planning to stop at Publix the day before cruise. I think it's 9.50 to buy large one onboard plus 20%.

Didn't need to use it. We were 6 solos who met every night for martinis and dinner. One lady bought all the professional pictures and emailed them to us.

I use all the bebefits

I don't think anyone's had them added to their total points yet

I'll give it a try next time I have dinner guests.

Yep. I was on the Silhouette last November and usually got them at Cafe El bacio as part of my Elite plus benefits but lines were long at 8 am and service slow. My waiter during the Elite said he'd make me one.

I've been making mimosas for breakfast with the extra prosecco I had on hand at Christmas.

I can get my Caramel Macchiato there as well.

I enjoy the Elite breakfast for the mimosas and the aft view on S class ships is great.

I'm enjoying all the benefits from Elite + and take full advantage of everything except for the discounted wine.

No eggs or bacon but I do enjoy their fruit and also cheese plate while sipping on a peach bellini.

I guess I'm door #2. See them in my history.

Yes me too. I've already found a cruise for next fall less than double occupancy

Thats good to hear or I would have gone elsewhere

Sunday People, Sunday

Thats pretty crappy. I'll just book onboard then transfer to a TA to get additional OBC.

I believe the OBC for some cabin categories were reduced in November 2023. I was on a 10 night cruise in a verandah cabin which I booked using a future booking credit and got $250.

I remember on one of the world wine tours I had a delicious Pouilly Fuisse the sommelier said it was Natalie Woods favorite so I had an extra glass for her 😆. It sold on the ship for $55 a bottle that was many years ago well before they offered packages. Unfortunately I went back to my cabin and fell asleep woke up just in time to go to dinner.

Even if one can afford it why would anyone tolerate this based alone on Principle.

Me too I'm on a princess cruise later this month and just became Elite plus this year but I don't care they were much cheaper for a similar sailing.
