    And that is much of New England, mid June end of the year, Labor Day start. Feb vacation has turned into just a couple of days (mostly to air the germs out of the schools) and April is a full week before or after Easter.

    I think yes too late. They will have to accumulate their own points.

    Arrival time not boarding time.

    Maybe I didn’t complain enough? The doors were cleaned but never the glass rail.
  5. poocher
    Well nobody cleaned mine ☹️

    My balcony is a big part of the cruise for me. I asked the room steward about the filthy windows but he was only able to clean the inside. 2 requirements for future cruises, the other type of balcony & a good promenade area. Do the other ships in this class have the same type of balcony?

    This was the big downside for me. Our balcony in a JS.

    I think the April vacation is more a northern states thing. That being said, Florida is a VERY popular destination for April vacation.

    Some schools will have the week before Easter off, some the week after. Some will only have a few days off but parents will pull kids out for a whole week anyway. Here in CT, this April vacation happens 99% of the time around Easter. I don’t think this is unusual up here.

    Easter in Ireland is the same time as Easter in the US. I would expect a very crowded vacation.

    Those should be preloaded, kinda like OBC, I would think.

    You can go to guest services and remove your CC from his seapass card.

    Small is a very relative term when talking about a 3 year old’s ability to disappear in the blink of an eye.

    You can have as many servings of anything you want. Have a plate full of mashed, have two! Dressing are another matter. If the salads are already dressed, not much you can do. If not, I would think the “if it’s on that nights menu” rule would apply. But I never tried to get a different dressing so have no first hand experience.

    My son thinks those are horrible but as a grandparent, anything that keeps my grandkids safe is fine with me.

    No, you pay at the time of booking. I got it on sale for $28.99 plus gratuity. That allowed ordering either the prie fixe menu (one from column A, 2 from column B kind of thing) or $35 worth of ala carte items. I don’t know what they had but it was a lot & all covered by the $28.99 purchase.

    Yes, let me choose day and time and diners were able to order either ala carte (2 did this) or the prie fixe (1 did this) once there. I booked them for the first night and I gotta say, it was pretty empty in there when the rest of us stopped by to see how they were doing. Reservation was for 6:45. They left stuffed!

    But those awful balconies!! Such a negative for me!

    But many pull their kids early to start vacation especially if they are going to a vacation destination. I would expect lots of kids and be pleasantly surprised if there are not.

    My issues were the tuna can balconies. I much prefer the open balcony found on larger ships. And lack of a real sports bar. We sailed during the World Series and you had to claim a seat (chair hogging!) by 4 or you were SOL and only one bar had TVs. I did love the solarium set up, way better than Harmony’s.

    Yes, you are right. OP I was being harsh & judgy. Please accept my apologies. Looking at the videos above, if you get the room with the bed by the door, it might be easier to “curtain” off the pack n play and he/she would be further away from any nocturnal comings & goings.
  24. poocher
    Yes

    An interior windowless room isn’t MY idea of vacation. Frankly if OP knew there would be an issue with the baby sleeping, why book a small interior cabin?
