The problem with tipping in cash is those tips dont get shared evenly, just the person who interacts with you directly. It takes a lot of people for that one waiter to bring you a drink, he/she doesnt go make the drink, clean the glasses, buss the tables (sometimes) etc. Apply this to your rooms and other tips, unless you go around asking who all helped make this drink and tip each one, if you remove prepaids you are shortchanging people. (Yes i know, bars add a prepaid per drink, just an example, choose MDR or WJ as other examples)

We just got off Anthem a couple of weeks ago, and our 5:00 early dining time was in Silk, which is normally a MTD venue. Every night we walked up and walked in past long lines of both reservation and no reservation MTD diners. I never ever want to do MTD. The Windjammer on Anthem is super nice, and we ate there one night due to getting back to ship later than our 5pm dining time. Didnt regret it at all. MTD is a failure as currently implemented. The App should let you reserve your time AND tell you your table so you just walk straight to it if you have a reservation. Then MTD might be ok. As it is now, its a nightmare.

All they need to link you is your name, reservation number and sail date. They really need more protection on linking.

If you click through you can see, you select it on next page before you complete transaction, will tell you the price. I was lucky when i got 24 for $33. Not sure i could buy it for that price at home

This. Either party of a linked reservations can do all kinds of things for both reservations. Our cruise 2 weeks ago I was able to see all their reservations, do their health check ins and put in their check in info and upload their photos.

Keep in mind you can get good deals on bottled water too. On our cruise 2 weeks ago we were lucky to preorder 24 1L bottles of Evian for $33.99 And we just did that for convienance since the water from all taps on the ship are pretty pure, much cleaner than municipal water supplies, only affected by the age of the piping on the ships, and even then, that piping only has clean water go through it.

Last week during spring break it was 2700 for overwater 2500 for land

Got off Anthem last week, spring break cruise, tons of people wanting the soft serve. I am SO GLAD it was crew serving it. It went fast and no mess and no people doing strange creations. Just quick cones with swirl if wanted.

Yep - It was amazing how quickly the weather said "hold my beer". I saw sunlight two times and had sudden hope, only to have it crushed, heh. Glad they gave you OBC for the daybeds, we didnt ask for the cabana, cause even though it was the Thrillwater park tent version, it worked really well for us and our attendant was really great (Trainee on his second day, but did awesome, thanks Alejandro)

Thanks guys.

There is an offer going now for up to $700 off, 60% off second guest, and kids sale free. But apparently those offers do not apply to all cruises. Is there anyway to filter for just the KSF cruises without clicking on each one?

Younger comedian still tightening their sets are generally the best. They are doing a cruise for the experience and practice. Older comedians are doing it to get a gig anyway they still can often, or as an easy payday, and they end up making the same jokes the CD's make. The guy the past week on anthem was offensive too, not in a "comedians push the envelope" way, but in the "cheap laugh insulting others" way. (Called a woman Hellen Keller for not responding to him when he asked a question, while there was an ASL interpreter in the front row interpreting for someone, just showing his age)

It probably was, but we paid for the cabana and they werent refunding due to 70 deg and on/off rain. Originally (day before pulling in there) it was supposed to be 80, light rain 8-10am, then sunny. That changed badly.

The comedian on Anthem this past week wasnt very good. He seemed to resent having to do a PG version of his show initially and during the wrapup finale night.

We were sorta prepared for the rain, but the rain and 70 deg and high winds all added up to too much. 8yo son got chilled badly (kids never know when they are too cold) and he and I went back to ship early while wife and 11yo daughter stayed behind at cabana. All in all still a good day, but as my son said, A not so perfect day at cococay.
