  1. Even if you had seen menus when you were booking, there is no guarantee that they would still be in the rotation when you cruise. We had menus on the app at noon that changed by dinnertime.
  2. I was and it was awful. Any competent second-grade teacher could organize it better.
  3. Not so on edge. I booked the maiden voyage, and then they put in two preview Cruises. No special parties or souvenirs for us. Godmother was on the preview not the “maiden.” I was disappointed
  4. You had better last night. Shortly after you walked off, they stop letting people go because it was too much backed up in the terminal. It was a very slow Disembarkation after that. One might even say chaotic. At about nine the facial recognition came back up so those getting off late were fine. It was just those of us trying to get off between eight and nine in who suffered
  5. Announcement is scheduled for December 4 week
  6. Not that I have seen. The “extend your stay” existed in Europe. Currently on reflection, and it is definitely not offer it on the ship in FLL.
  7. It’s probably too early to know.
  8. Because this gets asked so often I've compiled a list of things to spend OBC on. The only thing I know of now that you CAN'T buy with OBC is a deposit on a Future Cruise. You need a credit card for that. Also, there may be some card game in the casino with a cash only buy-in. And if they do a fundraiser, like selling t-shirts to “save the reefs” and the like, expect to need cash for that. Otherwise, here you go: *Acupuncture *Airport transfers *Alcove Rental (some ships) *Apple products etc. and Ilounge classes *Art Auction Purchases *Babysitting *Barber Shop services *Behind the Scenes Tours *Beverages -- Alcoholic, carbonated soft drinks, specialty coffees and teas, bottled water — if not in your package, also beverages above your package limits *Bingo and Deal or No Deal *Bottles of wine *Casino *Chef’s Table *Corkage charged if you bring your own bottles of wine to the MDR *Duty free liquor and cigarettes *Extra cost entrees and other items in Main Dining Room and specialty restaurants *Extend Your Stay program *Fitness classes *Flowers *Gelato *Gift shop souvenirs, purses, watches, cosmetics, clothing, jewelry, etc. *Gratuities, and extra gratuities *Guests dining with you in Luminae (applies to Suite Passengers only) *Guest entertainers' CD's and DVD's *Hair and nail salon *Hollywood hot glass experiences (some ships) *Internet if not in your package, also Internet upcharges *Laundry/pressing/drycleaning *Liquor Tasting events *Luggage Valet *Martini Flights *Medical Center purchases *Mini bar *Portrait photo sessions *Pay-per-view movies *Persian Gardens passes *Personal Training Sessions *Photos & cameras *Room service fees *Ryde spinning classes *Shore Excursions *Shuttle to town (some ports) *Spa -- massages and treatments *Specialty restaurants *Teeth Whitening *Telephone calls using ship's system *Transfer to another passenger's account *Voyage in Review DVD *Wine and liquor tastings *Zumba They will always use non-refundable OBC first, then refundable OBC, And if you run out of that then it goes on your credit card
  9. As I understand it, that is only an illusion. An artifact of the IT system. It also looks like you can make reservations in Luminae and in blue and neither one of them take reservations, either. On E class ships all four of the MDRs are open seating.
  10. As I read it, you no longer book the four MDRs you just show up whenever since they are all now open seating
  11. Going in March 2025. Not interested in going ashore in Vietnam at all. Am I required to get a visa regardless?
  12. I don’t know how they did it, but when you ordered a drink at the Oceanview café, it showed up on the record as being from the pool bar
  13. It was not closed and tge morning alcohol was being served. Of course we weren’t in grand cayman yet then
  14. Before you book an E class ship be sure to learn all about the IV rooms to make sure they will meet your needs and there will be no surprises
  15. Before you decide to book an e class ship, be sure to learn all about the IV rooms to make sure they will meet your needs and there won’t be any surprises
  16. Daily planner—- delivered each evening
  17. Unlikely since the OP can see all the other Elite events
