Quick question! Are you traveling with children? If not, you have way too much luggage!!!!! Elvis

On our Breakaway cruise in March of 2022, we left our jackets in the closet when we checked out. My jacket was returned to me about 2 weeks later. My wife's jacket was never returned! Elvis

Bogie, Cary Grant, Sean Connery, And Daniel Craig! They knew how to drink!!!! Elvis

That my friend is a martini! Elvis

In my opinion there is only one drink that should be called a martini and that's a gin martini! I can understand a vodka martini. James Bond drinks that and you can't argue with him! I'll never understand any other drink that is called a martini, like coffee martini or a chocolate martini! As far as I'm concerned, they are all abominations!!!! Enjoy your cruise! Elvis

I'm a vodka martini kind of guy! Tried a gin martini on my last cruise and I wasn't impressed! You should try a Celebrity cruise! They have a martini bar on some of their ships that is outstanding! I've never had a Moscow Mule. I want to try that! I also intend to try a "smoked" bourbon old fashioned! Also, no cruise will be complete without a Louis XIII cognac! Elvis

The technology does exist to make indoor smoking rooms with hepa air scrubbers, so it just comes down to a matter of cost for the cruise line to do so. 😕 I think they should have a separate cigarette lounge just like they have a cigar lounge. However, as a cigar smoker I don't want them anywhere near us! I hate the smell of cigarette smoke and get highly put off when a cigarette smoker comes into the cigar lounge. And to the person that claims to be allergic to tobacco smoke: it's your problem, not ours. I would respectfully suggest that you pick a different vacation venue! Elvis

Thank you! I always wat to know who's doing the driving! Elvis

Why not? Hey, you're on vacation!!!!!!! Elvis

DH is 43 and an NYPD officer Glad to see you're in the family! I did 37 years on Nassau County PD. (But he's a "real" cop) Enjoy your cruise!!! Elvis

This alone is worth it!!! Elvis

This past February I took a Celebrity cruise. When I figured out my casino winnings I was up $.25! Never getting rich that way!!! Elvis

Back in the days when you could smoke on your balcony I used to always end the night out there with a cigar and cognac. I always take my binoculars with me on a cruise. One night I went out on my balcony and noticed another cruise ship not far from us. I grabbed my binoculars and looked at all the balconies on her. What did I see? There was another guy out on his balcony looking through binoculars at our ship!!!! I waved at him but apparently he didn't notice me! Elvis

See? I'm not the only one!!!! Elvis

I neglected to mention the dessert we had in Le Bistro. Ever since I saw Spencer Tracy and Katherine Hepburn have it in "Desk Set" I wanted to try Floating Island or Ile Flontante as they call it. It was great! Worthy of two screen legends! Elvis

We were on Breakaway in March, 2022. I made it my mission to see who has the best prime rib on the ship. (I'm a prime rib fanatic!) I have to say that after careful consideration I have to give this one to The Haven Restaurant with Cagney's a close second! We're on Escape in September so I may have to test them all again! I mean it's the only fair thing to do! Elvis

In my opinion, and this i just my opinion, there is only one drink that should be called a martini! The only variation should be whether you want gin or vodka! Anything else should go by a different name! Elvis

Just tip the bartender and he or she will make anything you want, any way you want it made! They are very accommodating. Word of advice: if you want something other than a martini, don't go to the martini bar! Elvis

A 1/2 oz was $80. And if you take the last drink from the bottle you get to keep the bottle! That can be sent back to the Remy Martin factory and refilled at a substantial discount. When I had my drink there were about 6 pours left in the bottle. It was good, but not that good! Elvis 105 days until my next taste!

No, it wasn't covered! But what the hell! If the wife says go for it, who am I to question her logic? She did pick me! Elvis

Going on Escape in September and I intend to try everything! We were on Breakaway in March of 2022. While sitting in the Haven Bar I noticed the bottle of Louis XIII cognac on display. I mentioned to my wife that just once in my life I'd like to sample that, just to see what makes it so good. Her reply to me, "Why not tonight?" Never in my life had I loved her more! It was served to me by the white gloved bartender. It was in a crystal glass on a silver tray. The presentation alone was worth the cost of the cognac! Sergio, the bartender, talked me through sipping and savoring what turned out to be the nectar of the gods! It was a religious experience! I'm getting off the track here! I've recently been introduced to the fine taste of bourbon! I intend, before this cruise is over, to find my favorite, my brand! Between the Haven Bar and Tobacco Road I should have no problem! Elvis

I've recently developed a taste for bourbon. Until then martinis were my drink of choice. On my next cruise in September, I'll be in the Haven. In the Haven Lounge they make a "smoked old fashioned". I intend to give that a try! I'll still drink my martinis, but I'm going to try new things! Elvis

I spent 37 years as a police officer. The last 17 years were spent taking people's complaints over the phone. What I learned is that a lot of people are not happy unless they're complaining about something! Most of the time things are not really as bad as they make it seem. I've been on close to 20 cruises. I always read the reviews of my cruises. Sometimes I find it hard to believe that the person writing the review and I were on the same cruise! Elvis

Dude, I didn't try to insult you! I was making a joke! Lighten up and have a cigar! Elvis

Cigars on the ship are highly over-priced and in, my experience, not stored properly. They tend to be on the dry side. You are much better off by getting a travel humidor and taking a few of your own sticks. For a weeklong cruise I would suggest about 30 to 40 cigars, unless you're a heavy smoker, then I would bring 50! Elvis
