Taking a bottle larger than that allowed by TSA rules is not a power trip, it’s following the rules. If you want liquid OTCs in your carry on, either purchase smaller sizes or put them in the travel bottles available in Walmart, Target, CVS, Walgreens. I take a travel size with me and have the larger quantity in my checked bag.
Our daughter was unable to go on our October cruise. TA was able to cancel her and apply her deposit to our balance without our room being moved or repriced.
3 ounces or less liquids in CARRY ONS had been the rule since like 2006. This is repeated ad nauseum as you stand in the TSA line. If you have large bottles, bag them well & put them in your checked bag.
Vitamins & supplements are OTC meds, really no different from Tylenol or pepto. Take them any way you want. Prescription medication should be in original containers ESPECIALLY if they are controlled substances. Many will say not necessary but do you want to take the chance some officious type confiscates your prescription meds?
The balcony built into the hull was one of my biggest disappointments on Explorer along with the tinted glass barriers. Why would you use tinted glass to hide the beautiful ocean?!?!? I love balconies but this was like sitting in a rather rusty tin can.
No free booze on the suites deck and I don’t recall any food there. The cabanas are first come first served but we found them extremely hot & stuffy. There is absolutely no air circulation at all. We only stayed about an hour before it became unbearable.
Ok so many people enjoy music while relaxing. However musical tastes and volume levels are VERY subjective. If the music is bothering you, you could nicely ask them to turn it down or move it inside. I hope most people would understand and respect your request. If they don’t, GS is your next move.
