That’s right

I now cruise without slacks,sports coat or tie. I dress the same regardless of evening. I am not out of place at all

I personally like it when they know my regular drinks. They have always done this by memory well before the medallion

Except on your balcony there are cameras that will pick up things there. We have all seen tapes of people climbing over railings

And cameras everywhere that can see everything you do in public

We use it several times a cruise at Vines. No problem we share and only get 1 taken off of one of our packages

Just another could reason to use a US based CVP. Never use the off shore call centers. Our CVP takes care of everything

My issue with the venues on this class ship is that they are wide open to the piazza which I find way to loud when there is activity down there and being wide open doesn’t really feel intimate

Yes no problem. In the casino one of us goes to the bar and just give out cabin number and ask to put one drink on each account. If you don’t specify two account they will often put both on one account and all of sudden person 1 is maxed out on drinks and the other shows 15 left. We always just verify that our preferred booze is included just to make sure nothing has changed since our last cruise

We go to Vines and order 1 charcuterie plate plate it and only get charged for one against our 4. This has been the case on several Grand class ships

So no real difference

It is 2 per person

So what did you do with the old cruise card ?

That should actually be considered 2 a beer and a shot. Speak to the bar manager. We had an issue with substituting rye for gin and tried to charge for 2

Another reason we never show up till after 1 or 2 at any embarkation port

Then there are people like me who just stick them in my pocket

Plus you can change out your minibar for sodas. If you are elite you can get 2 mini bars. This is all assuming you are in a full suite

But the only way you can get winnings is to use your account

If you enjoy cocktails you will want to keep the plus package The mini bar has the lowest brands of alcohol you can imagine. Who ever heard of Van Gogh vodka ? The plus package lets you have 2 casual meals, 15 cocktails a day , coffee and sodas Wi-Fi and tips. Suite benefits ate totally different

Nothing expanded. On the Ruby now no pipes or cigars in casino at all. No expanded smoking area Actually on most nights the smoke is not all that bad On the non smoking side most times no smell at all I can only assume that you think you are being humorous

I am on the Ruby now and we have 6 outlets in a suite but no USB. Luckily we travel with a device that lets us charge 5 USB devices at one time

So maybe the Royal class has more space

Which ship ? I have been on the Crown, Ruby and Emerald in the last year and not one alas has been around

I would not worry we cruise 3-4 times a year and never book in advance. There will be more tables opening up on board. The one day you may have an issue is embarkation night or if you need to eat early. We never eat before 7:30 and never have issues. On the ship I am on now there are multiple times available for tonight

What class cabin are you in ? If it is a full suite or reserve mini suite you don’t make reservations for the MDR
