Check your statements. I have an issue with my gratuities that is still not resolved

Leg 1. I had prepaid 

That was fine.

Leg 2. I had prepaid, then there was a price drop and they refunded my prepaid, and these were suppose to be included 

I spotted the error on Wed. They ship sent a mail to Seattle. But I am still waiting for the correction 

This was corrected on last night after confirmation from head office

Thanks

Ocean bar and mix I think

Comment on immigration 

If you go from Montreal to Boston 

You will have a usa face to face with immigration and bar harbour being a tender port, makes it one more issue 

On the way back to Canada, very seamless 

Fill a firm, drop it in a box 

1 couple was called to immigration ( my guess, they did not return the form )

By any chance, were you ordering the freestyle burger? It’s a lettuce wrap burger and automatically comes without a bun. Otherwise, getting them to leave out the bun is possible but takes some convincing.

Exactly. Boyfriend was ordering " free dive"

His English is getting better everyday hihi

Thanks

I know some people were upset when we boarded on May 4th as they felt embarkation was " disorganized".

Comparing it to fort Lauderdale is unfair.

I thought it was fine.

Just need to lower expectations.
