I have packed one each time we go with no issues.

Cant wait, we leave next Sunday.

Recent cruises in the last 18 months on the Valor, Destiny and Victory and was not asked to leave after any of the comedy shows. Usually got to the show about 15 -20 minutes early and was able to find a seat without issue. Most of the shows did end up as standing room only, so I suggest getting there early.

 

Sent from my Samsung Note 10.1 using Forums mobile app.

We were on the Breeze last year and lines started forming an hour before the show and go to the point where they actually turned people away because of capacity.

I sent out a few email inquiries and Anthony's Key referred me to Sueno Del Mar and we are booked. They will accommodate all four of us, work around our schedule and include transportation. They have been extremely responsive so far.

When is your cruise? I do not wish to hijack but will be interested in your experience once your return.

We leave auto tips and tip steward extra. We do ATD and had different servers several times which were fine but we didn't tip extra but had we been with the same server and had them provide above service we would have. The question I have is, why tip the Maitre D if all they do is walk you to your table and my interaction with them is about 60 seconds. Am I missing something? (Besides my mind sometimes:))

They walk you to your table? I dont even get that service. We will usually walk down to see where our table is then the first night they stand and ask do you know where your table is. I have never had any interaction with the Maitre D

I will sometimes tip out room steward depending on how he takes care of us with the little extras. One cruise we had a room steward that made sure everything was just excellent, he knew our names and each day asked how we were doing and if there was anything we needed. Room service i will give them a dollar or two each time, amazing how once you tip them they will bring your order quick and on time. We will also tip the MDR waiters again depending on how we are waited on. The porters get tipped on both arrival and departure, i give them usually a dollar per bag.

Not sure if my tipping is in line with others and waiting to see what others do also. hope this helps..

When is this rolling out fleet wide or any idea on how each ship will get scheduled for the change?

Thanks for the info, i will be sure to bring a camera along and pass by the ice cream during lunch that day.

BTW: when do they tell you what night it dinner will be? hopefully once you board.

The Legend is a great ship, we have sailed on her before and have one scheduled after the 2.0 upgrades she is receiving in just a few months.

I have been over the forum several times and found a lot of great information. I have already made the reservation on the Legend but still have a few questions i could not find the answer to.

Is it recommend to tip the Chef after the service if so what is cindered a good tip?

Are photos allowed? i did read that someone asked the Chef and he said ok to photos of the food.

When they take the group photo can we have one of just our group or does it have to be everyone at the table?

Are there any other recommendations that a first time Chef's table experience that you will not want to miss?

Thanks!

Anyone know where it will going into dock at for the upgrades? would be interesting if there was a webcam or a way to watch it.

We have rooms 10221, 10225, 10229 does anyone have any photos, or review of these rooms. I am also hoping that the dividers open to make a large balcony.

does anyone know how many balcony divider's they will open? We were just on the spirit and had 3 open to make 1 large balcony and hoping to do the same next year.

Also anyone have any advice on cabins, curently looking at lido forward.

Thanks in advance !
