Thanks for that clarification.
And, to further clarify the answer I was given, the tip for the spa personnel is included in the final price.I agree thanks for the tip (no pun intended)

Sounds like a great trip - thankyou for the review. We are thinking about a trip on the Onward, how did you like Azamara?

We got an Extraordinary Savings brochure in the mail yesterday, lighter paper than usual. It has a few non-sale voyages listed plus a whole bunch of the sale ones. Can't promise it's every sale voyage, not quite obsessed enough to double check (if the weather was bad I might already have done so lol). At least 2 sailings we were eying are on sale, woo-hoo!
Fares for three categories on each sailing are listed, and it's not the same 3 for each itinerary. I assume that reflects on part which categories are on sale and those vary a bit. Also the discounts aren't 100% uniform.
Look honey how much money I saved us!
Got one also, but it came from my TA

Jacket is optional in all venues for 'Elegant Casual' evenings. The current dress code specifies a 'collared dress shirt or sweater'.
Jacket or suit required for Formal in the MDR. Other venues Elegant Casual applies.
That said, on my last SB cruise there were a lot of varied interpretations of the dress code...
I found the same...a lot of variations.

When we came back aboard the ship after our visit to Greenland, we found these bottles in our cabin. The note next to it said that this was the purest water on the planet - as it came directly from the Greenland Icecap - the second largest one on the planet.
This must be the purest water on earth! You can buy it on the internet for $35 A BOTTLE! This is one of the priciest gifts I have heard of a ship giving. Good for them. Makes a terrific souvenir from Greenland.

Sailed on Star February and July 2018 and this month. Love her. Skywalker's is great - quiet during the day - great view - perfect for reading. We enjoyed the food and service - know this is subjective. We had a balcony on Caribe - our favorite deck. Captain Tuvo is lots of fun. We don't need a lot of things to do but do enjoy trivia and the evening shows. Most shows were good, a few not our favorite. Didn't do MUTS but there were good movies available.
I agree - love her also. Sailed on her three times.

You cancelled your Princess sailing - got a new booking yet?

This was our docent for our guided tour of the Citadel. All of the guides, guards, and actors are students. It gives them a good insight into Canadian history.
A series of photos where a student is demonstrating the firing of an old rifle. It was an actual rifle used at the time by the troops garrisoning the fort.
Ready.
Aim.
Fire!
Did this make you miss not signing up to be a soldier for a day and firing those rifles?

😂 There is a lot of talk about how to deal with chair hogs on these cc boards and it reminded me of a funny story.
I woke up early on a sea day and found a prime seat by the pool. I was sitting in the chair for about three hours when an elderly lady asked me if anyone was sitting in the chair beside me. I told her that the towels and books were on the chair when I sat down 3 hours ago but no one actually sat in them all morning. She carefully took the items to the towel
guy for
the lost and found. The lovely lady sat down and ordered a nice cold drink. She told me she had 27 grandchildren and 6 great grandkids. She appeared to be a very sweet woman. About an hour later she told me she was quickly running to the rest room and asked me to watch her belongings. Of course I said I would.
Suddenly this young woman plopped herself down on the lounge chair and threw the woman’s belongings on the wet pool deck. I was shocked. I told her someone is sitting there and she will return momentarily. The young woman yelled “This is my f$&$$$$g chair!” I explained to her that the chair was unoccupied for at least 5 hours and told her that saving chairs is not allowed. A minute later the lovely elderly woman returned and told the girl to leave. She refused. Security was summoned and they told the young woman to leave. She eventually left after swearing at all of us.
I thought that was the end of the drama, but oh no!
I noticed the elderly woman throwing a pair of shoes in the garbage and thought it was a little strange. Well, an hour after the big verbal assault, the young woman reappeared apparently searching frantically for something 🙂. The young woman asked me and the elderly woman if we had seen her “VERY EXPENSIVE Louboutin shoes?” Without missing a beat the elderly woman said “Oh the red bottom shoes?” Yes the young woman replied “Haven’t seen ‘em!” said the elderly woman.
After the young woman stormed off, the elderly woman looked at me, winked and
said “That will fix her!”
While I don’t condone throwing people’s belongings in the garbage, it was so funny for so many reasons. That Grandma was one feisty woman and I had lots of laughs with her throughout the cruise.
Nice story.

I wonder what the winning bids were?

Many are out to see new destinations, to connect with culture and scenery. Some are there for the ship, and couldn't care less if there were any ports. Others are there for exotic beaches and a break from the cold, different itineraries are not nessessary.
To get to your question, we're all hooked on cruising like cocaine. 😜
LOL...kinda true though!

Enjoying the pics.

LOL...We are the Island Princess for an epic 30 day cruise from Rome to Abu Dhabi. Are you on that one?
Jack
Sadly, no. Sounds like a great cruise though. We are doing a Med cruise this summer.

We've use our OBC to tip the wait staff in Luminae on our last 3 cruises. You need to specify Luminae and can add the servers names.

It depends on the offer that went with your booking. I wouldn't want people to get their expectations up and then be disappointed. Some perks attach to the suite itself and not the booking, but that only applies to royal suites and the penthouse. And many travel agents do not understand this. I booked a January cruise at the last minute in a royal suite. The TA tried to sell it to me at the Go Best rate. I told her I would prefer the Florida resident rate since the perks attached to the suite, not the booking. She didn't believe me, but it was so. And considerably cheaper at the Florida resident rate.My last 6 sky suite experiences and my future booking on the Edge next April have all automatically included the 4 perks.

Cagney's is my favorite. We tend to have a "liquid dinner" on embarkation day, followed by a few bites in the buffet right before closing.
Cagney's is my favorite NCL restaurant but Teppanyaki is also quite good and my wife's favorite. we usually do hibachi first and save steak for near the end of the cruise.
Liquid dinner - LOL

I finally found my receipt for the Golden Circle tour - it was $179 and I got a 10% discount by pre booking. Hope that helps.

Thanks for digging that out. It helps when comparing prices from local vendors.
