Colorado Beach Bum

We usually don’t either but was our daughter in-law’s first cruise so thought we get a couple.

We were on this same sailing. The ship’s temperature throughout was horrible - hot in most every public area. Fortunately, our room was freezing cold. Agree with your fabulous section. Service was great throughout ship. We didn’t experience the horrible you did. We never enjoy the buffet at all and it was about the same as always. We noticed one or two rude people but overall thought people were very friendly and nice. On five cruises since restart Guy’s burger has been inconsistent for sure. I actually enjoyed the fries this week and the buns were great early but the last days were not great, never cold just not great. Seems like supply issues is creating inconsistencies across all the ships.

Has anyone else ever noticed that the ship photos are sometimes edited? We ordered a few digital photos on the Horizon this week and when we got off the ship today we noticed one of us had one leg edited out of the picture. Wish I had noticed before purchasing. 😀

We have had zero luck with WIFI calling on our five cruises since the restart. I remember being able to previously. That said, we were able to use face time a few times. Never tried Skype or anything else.

You should be more than fine with a 1pm flight.

Interesting. Our experience is complete opposite. We’ve had amazing meals, much better than any land based teppanyaki.

And people going to grocery store or mall or sporting event or general travel aren’t reporting either. It’s not unique to cruising. Been on 4 cruises since restart and caught Covid during normal at home activities, not on a cruise. Always agreed that testing limited exposure on cruises but not so sure anymore as it is everywhere and past protocols don’t necessarily prevent current rates of infection, anywhere.

No way to really prove the testing is limiting the number of cases. Based on reports of people coming off of cruises testing positive seems similar to those testing positive not on cruises.

Last fall we answered a question that we had been out of the county in the last 14 days (not sure that’s still asked). We had to go through secondary screening at embarkation. Double checked our paperwork (negative test specifically) and sent us on in.

One difference is that out of TX cheers does not start until 2nd day but the drinks everywhere starts immediately when you board ship.

I’m not sure they dropped the bar in your room. Just below what you circled says early room access with your preferred drink waiting for you.

Should be more than enough for great offers. The first offers we get right after a cruise are usually pretty weak. After a few weeks back they seem to get back to normal.

We have a few on the books so hopefully. We also have a place in TX - a little closer to a cruise port.

Bummer, not available in my Wells Fargo offers. Seems selective just like Chase, etc that was discussed this week.

And platinum status has nothing to do with offers. It’s all based on play.

Agree. They were handing out offers to many people late last year. Typically/traditionally you have to earn way more than 100-200pounts to earn good offers. It takes 1500 just to earn DOU during a cruise. You probably need 8000+ points to earn discounted/free rooms with DOU.

Ah. On drinks it probably is low just like cheers. I always tip $2 per drink so have never noticed slow service - just the opposite.

Zero? We’ve been on four cruises since restart and cleaning was as good as ever, maybe better. I saw cleaning people going into public restrooms after almost each person came out. Hand washing is a personal responsibility- amazing how many still don’t wash hands after all we’ve been through the last couple of years.

Hitting the 15 drink limit too early in the day. Also, not taking advantage of more bottle waters.

But you can also have beautiful weather. Have done a couple during hurricane season and had perfect weather.

Not our experience. Have always received great service on our comped meals.

Useful. Very easy to setup/use. Made the document check fast and efficient. It took less than a minute compared to a few minutes using paper docs on prior cruises.

Took our 8 & 10 yr old grandkids and they absolutely loved the food and experience.

Booster is NOT required

We were just worried it might mess up the perks - OBC, casino cash, drinks, etc. it probably wouldn’t be a problem to change assignment but didn’t have to worry about it.
