I was driving an 18 wheeler when they built the Buccees between Pensacola and Mobile. Never heard of it before. Another driver familiar with them told me their gas (for cars) was known for having water in it. Haven't been in it yet.
Haven't heard of it since restart, but doesn't hurt to check availability often as sometimes people change their minds or CCL just adds more for whatever reason.
I went to MDR for brunch on Glory last year, Either alone or just one other person. Always got put at four top in middle of room, but I do tend to go as soon as they open.
Last year in NOLA, had 2 bottles of champagne in a tote bag. I had put them inside sleeves of a jacket to prevent breakage, had to remove both to show lady seals. I won't pack them so well next time!
Someone mentioned somewhere that on 1st night you may have to pay taxes on the wine. I have Steakhouse reservation 1st night, may have to see if it's worth getting. Don't want to pay more in taxes than bottle is worth!
I don't know if it's because I got FTTF, but I wanted to change my dining option to something that was now wait listed. Got it the next day. FTTF is $129 for 7 day on Glory out of NOLA.
If there's the possibility you may rebook a different cruise after booking, they will usually transfer the deposit to the new cruise. Otherwise, it's gone.
Sailing out of NOLA, you don't have to switch to airplane mode for a few hours. I usually do it before dinner, to access menus and because I may forget later.
