Where were you out of when they had London Pride?   Was that South Hampton?

No. Bayonne/Cape Liberty NJ.

Sure wish they had some Fullers products onboard.  The make a great ESB and their main seller,

London Pride, is a really nice too.  

Anthem had London Pride in the pub last Christmas. I wish I had realized this before day 3.

I'd be perfectly fine with Stone (assuming their purchase doesn't change them) or Sierra Nevada when I'm on Voyager in a couple weeks. I'll have to keep a lookout for the Terrapin Hopsecutioner. Not sure about getting any of these though as we're going out of Copenhagen.

My thoughts on the whole craft things is that yes, there are some crap craft beers out there. (I just dumped four bottles last weekend. They weren't good last year and I was hoping aging might have improved them as they were sweetened stouts. No such luck.) I think it's more about the brewer willing to put more thought and care into the beer itself versus making it more efficiently/cheaper. The best craft beer are amazing while the best macros are sometimes okay. Anything from a craft brewery sold on a main line cruise ship will have to be consistent enough to be good.

looked it up, a Russian beer.

Um ... no. It's from Russian River in Santa Rosa, California (Sonoma Valley). It's excellent, considered to be one of the best IPAs in the world. (I've had the fortune to taste it at the brewery.)

I boarded Anthem with something very similar in Dec - https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B08X23SWBF

It was not confiscated but that was the only time I have tried so YMMV.

But Royal Caribbean (as of now, could change of course) is still requiring a test no more than 2 days before embarkation: https://www.royalcaribbean.com/faq/questions/will-i-have-to-take-a-test-before-i-cruise#copenhagen

We're worried but don't sail until Aug so who knows what the rules may be then.

Also, there are a total of 3 ziplines you do.

I had just the Surf package on my last 2 cruises.  I have an Android through ATT.  I had my airplane mode ON, Wifi ON, and wifi calling ON.  I made calls and texted all week with my husband both times as he was not cruising with me.  I also had other texts/calls throughout the week.  I incurred 0 charges, the key is to make sure your phone is in Airplane mode at all times.  

 

I also hooked up to Wifi on the beaches we went to and called and texted him from the islands as well with no charges.  I never take my phone off airplane mode unless in a US Territory or Mexico as those are part of our plan. 

This agrees with https://www.att.com/features/wifi-calling/:

Ive been checking my Cruise Planner for our Aug 5 -15 Adventure  Baltic cruise to change to the same cruise on Jewel. Instead, it changed to an Aug 5-9 Med cruise on Adventure from Barcelona! I’ve emailed my travel agency. 

I'm seeing the same for the same cruise. However, the ports are incorrect as it includes Spain then St. Petersburg, Helsinki, Riga, and Visby. One heck of a 4-day cruise. 🙂 I'm hoping it's just an "in progress" thing appearing.

MSC Opera, Kotor, Montenegro, May 2019. (We weren't on the cruise but were visiting while it was in port)
