I do hope that I am a credible source...😉

That is actually an Urban myth and is not correct. You can use normal toilet paper. What you can NOT throw into the toilet is wet wipes. Regards, Captain T.C.

False news. The vessels are not flagged in Spain, and as long as they register the sale when in International Waters, no VAT is payable.

It truly beggars belief that one would even consider that a passport is not an essential part of your travel documents when visiting foreign countries, on a cruise or not!

Alternatively, you could have an early kids dinner in the Lido buffet so they won’t need to wait till 20:15h., followed by a show with them. There is also I think the kids club for them during your meal time. Personally, our kids would not think of eating as early as Main seating (18:00h) and would just be ready for dinner around 20:00h, but they also don’t go to bed before 22:30h. On vacation (3 year old), but we are European 🙃😄

The legality of this law is of course questionable since foreign flagged vessels need to comply with the laws of the State in which the port is situated ( Port state jurisdiction), however, the IMO and UN consider the Port State as USA as this is the UN Member State. Texas does not exist as an independent UN State, and thus, one could contest that the Texas State Law and TABC is not applicable. In reality, the cruiselines do not want to risk any issues in getting port permits, and thus comply with this regional legislation.

But in Galveston, you are NOT on the Cheers programme. There is no issue.

Jimbo, a real Mojito is never frozen but on the (crushed) rocks. Mostly made with white rhum, but just like Hemmingway, I like mine with dark rum . Try one in Havana, it will blow your mind . thank youmfor an amazing review. I love Greenland, when the weather is good. When not so good, it can be a real “challenge” to safely navigate the area and approach.

But I suppose that Cheers prices out of Galveston are reduced and based on the amount of days that it is actually valid right?

Carnival corp. is the parent of HAL and Not Carnival Cruise Lines. HAL and Carnival Cruises are sister companies under the umbrella of Carnival corp. actually. HMC has never been Carnival Cruise Lines’ property and in fact, HAL vessels have priority over Carnival when itineraries are being constructed.

Airco only works in a sealed environment. A beach cabana is hardly that...they should never have equipped them.

But why are nearly all of the choices junk food? Rotate the soup so every night it is a different one ( broccoli, tom yam , chicken, asparagus, ...) instead of more “pizza”, offer some satés,(different kinds every night), maybe some vegetable quiches, ...the current menu is what we say in Belgium “designed for drunks “, make it designed to get a better sleep and not get a quicker heart attack.

Exactly! It is simply throwing energy away.

Official name : Dining Room greeter. He traditionally goes around the ship with the Dining chime to remind guests of their imminent dining time ( main/late seating), after dinner, he offers , or better said offerED after dinner treats like Candied ginger and mints. His uniform was very traditional, red and gold

Also rest assured that you are in very Safe Belgian hands 😉

Thank God that I am not the only one perverted enough to associate inches with something else than a scooter. 🤗😇🤣

Get the maitre d’hotel involved, refuse to pay. Simple.

Why would a BEACH cabana need airco?!? Feeling hot? Jump into the water! Due to the seabreeze there is always wind, and a fan also does wonders. I know that Americans are addicted to their aico, but high time to change that attitude and get more energy conscious.

Wow, the hot dog is included! 🙄

Exactly! There is no excuse for charging money , especially when the main competitor, who is cheaper provides good bbq that is included in the fares. But RCI will continue to weaken the guest experience and will,continue to increase the prices to find the “ breakage point”. The thing is: WE The customers decide on that breaking point...same goes for Celebrity, another outfit that treats its non-suite guests with contempt, touting a “ luxury experience” while serving in the MDR Fast food like Fried Chicken and Spaghetti Bolo. ( we are elite + on X but decided to spend our Euro on Lines that DO treat all their customers as equals and with respect.)

On their main competitor, it is free during lunch. These are items that should always be included, just like a quality burger.

How low can you stoop as a cruiseline to offer burgers, fried chicken and Macandcheese in the Main Dining Room for dinner?! Is this MacDonalds of the Seas?! Have a look at Carnival’s new menus, at least they still manage to offer some more excitement in their included dining venues.

Fantasy was an original Icon and with the best interior decor of all Fantasy Class! The Cats lounge anybody?!

This is exactly what is done. You do NOT put the sale in until 12nm out.

I need to clarify though that when performing this manoeuvre correctly, one can turn, reduce speed and limit the list so that injury onboard can be avoided, as Safety of all onboard is at all times the number one priority. also, there are procedural differences between conventional and azipod ( or RR Mermaid , like the Millennium Class, ) equipped vessels .
