AND if you are on a B2B, you have to cash out on each segment. Even if you booked it as one cruise but it's a B2B you have to cash out at the end of each segment (the last night). Found that out the hard way.
Our cabin steward gave me one of the big Stanley Bears (and a tee shirt that said "Cruising Is Back") and on another ship the girl in the shop let me pick a smaller bear for free! They both sit on a chair in our bedroom much to my DH's dismay! LOL
I got lucky!
The only person that even looked twice at it and made sure it was ours was the Casino for the lousy $10. No one else, including Guest Services questioned it.
Ours have NEVER been questioned nor even inspected. We carry on all our meds (except vitamins and such). Would never think of packing them in our checked bags...what if the luggage is lost?
I guess we miss that...we don't do suites..
I guess we will have to suffer through M&Gs....actually all that I have been to large and small have been informative and mostly fun!
We got to be very friendly with the Hotel General Manager who was best friends with the Captain. DH and I and another friend were invited to the Cocktail Party by the HGM. Once we go there we knew we really did not qualify to be there....heck DH and I were still Platinum! But the Captain and the Hotel General Manager made us feel really welcome and kept encouraging us to get drinks. I just tucked away my Platinum card and enjoyed the party!
Names and ship have been omitted to protect the innocent! LOL!
