I like to at least have a window so I can check the weather before I dress. Back in the early 1990’s we were in an inside for 10 days in Alaska and they slipped a note under the door each day with weather data. It always said 60 degrees and cloudy. It was actually in the 40’s and wet. The must have pre printed thousands of them
MDR is open for lunch on sea days and breakfast everyday. You can have as many or as few as you want. The buffet is on lido deck and is an alternative to MDR
I really don’t appreciate being called an alcoholic. Some of use don’t go to bed until 1:00 am we have plenty of time for cocktails. I am 73 and yes I go to gyms. Packages are what they are I don’t get a discount from Medicare if I don’t go to a doctor one month
Jeans without holes are fine I wear them all the time. Formal nights I wear slacks but no tie or coat most times. International Cafe is free, pizza by the slice on lido is always free only the sit down venue is casual All 3 dining rooms are MDR’s and have the same menu
Since only suite guests can use the concierge services there is never going to be a line service will be the same. It is part of the suite experience like laundry service and free embarkation night specialty dinner. We don’t tip for any of those Most of our tips go to servers, stewards and bartenders that we have used frequently
We find it much better now. In the 1990’s we were paying ny the drink and even back then it came to over $100 per day. Now we pay $120 for the plus package and get the gratuities and Wi-Fi included. Since I retired I also retired all my ties. For formal nights I dress in slacks and a long sleeve shirt. For casual nights it is short sleeve shirt and either jeans or cargo pants
Even just counting beers and cocktails I am at 6 or so before dinner add 2 specialty coffees and waters and I will be very thirsty by the time I hit the casino
And then we would all be asking for refunds. They may cave in and give a few extra meals on longer cruises but if you add unlimited casual to plus packages it would take things back to having hour long waits to get into Alfredo’s
