Are you seriously saying that the Miami porters/baggage staff would purposely damage your luggage if you didn't give them money, surely that happened back in the Al Capone days, wasn't it called protection money then, not a tip.
I totally agree but if was in a Q1 and found out that i had lost my table to someone who had given a hefty or even a small tip/bribe then i would certainly be a bit miffed and would definitely let my displeasure be known to the hotel manager.
I can only talk about QV and QE as i have not sailed in the grills on QM2, all the tables are, shall we say cosy/close what if your window table had been close to people you had nothing in common with, would you then, after given a sweetener for the window table ask to be moved to another table.
We have not had a window table and don't really see the need. As you know, the tables shall we say make dining somewhat cosy and therefore a view can be had from the majority anyway. Most of the time i am too busy enjoying the lovely food rather than gazing out of the window as well.
We used Randox Certify Certificate for our tests before we boarded Voyager in April this year. We used Randox after being assured by Regent that those tests were ok for travel.
