  1. I believe that their impact on roll is speed dependent (IIRC, they work better at higher speeds)
  2. Wildly inconsistent: We have Hideaway booked three times this year (all on Adventure of the Seas): 4/20 sailing - $22/pp (Allure is also there with us) 7/5 sailing - $55/pp (Icon is there with us) 9/27 sailing - $35/pp (Icon is there with us) We will decide whether the last two cruise reservations will get cancelled or kept based on what we experience next month.😇
  3. On Mariner, that venue is now called the Dog House, and that venue is on several other ships as well.
  4. Considering it comes from the Alsace-Lorraine city of Strasburg (a city that sits directly on the modern German/French border), in a region that was seized by France (Louis XIII) in the 17th century and it's occupation of a largely German speaking population was one of the causes of WW1, Kronenbourg is as much (if not more) a German beer.

  6. Tell Bucky that there is no such thing as a decent French beer - but they do have some good Italian brands😇🍻
  7. Never say never. We started out doing a 3 night cruise a long time ago, and quickly graduated to two 7 night cruises a year and eventually 4 a year. Now we only do B2B or B2B2B cruises - it is addictive😇
  8. Windy is what the cruise ships use while at sea as well.
  9. I always had a “go bag” in the trunk of my car with all my gear because there were occasions when the “call” came from the corner suite that I had a flight to (insert destination) in an hour and there was no time to get home to pack.
  10. Just about half that - we average about 95-100 days a year depending on ships and itineraries.
  11. Upside - took me all over the world and met some fascinating people along the way; downside - I averaged ~200 days a year either in hotels or airports.
  12. As a hobby, probably, but it was how I made my living for almost 30 years😇
  13. Just received this for our April 20 Adventure cruise: Dear Guest, Due to the evolving situation in Haiti, we’ll now visit Perfect Day at CocoCay instead of Labadee, Haiti.

  14. Unfortunately, there are no free drinks for any loyalty level during happy hour in either the Suite Lounge or the Crown Lounge. That perk was eliminated a few years ago.
  15. They don’t own it, but they footed most of the cost to build it.😇
  16. The article I posted this morning specifically talked about the situation surrounding the Cap Haitien airport, which is where the evacuations were supposed to be staged. The link that I posted has been updated (apparently the situation throughout Haiti is very fluid), and the sentence you quoted was not in the original article.
  17. Unfortunately, that is not a passenger elevator and is only accessible if you can convince someone on staff to let you use it.
  18. It was a report I saw on one of the National News networks. https://www.cnn.com/2024/03/18/us/haiti-state-department-charter-flight/index.html
  19. Given the fact that the gangs have taken over and shut down the airport in Cap Hatien and effectively control access to the Labadee area, the situation is not likely to get better any time soon
  20. If you purchase the internet when you are on board, the cost has been running ~$25 PPPD +18% "service" charge. Purchasing prior to boarding can save you $$ depending on how many people/devices you would be using. Regarding drink packages, figure ~$3 for water, ~$5 for sodas, ~$10/beer and ~$15 for mixed drinks. You would have to drink a LOT in order to cover the ~$90+PPPD cost of a drink package since every adult in the cabin has to purchase it.
  21. We always order to go from Izumi and I pick it up and take it back to eat on our balcony. It is usually windy, rainy or cold up on D12 and DW can't do the stairs.😇🍤🍣
  22. 3-day old threads that discuss legitimate issues rarely become dead horses...😇🐴
