    You can print both folios but they will not both show on your app. I can only see mine not my wife’s

    That is probably why we see lines forming at 4:30 before they even open. I don’t k ow why everyone is in such a hurry to eat
  3. memoak
    It must vary ship to ship. On the Crown at Vines we were able to share one meal and it only counted against one of our 4 meals under the plus package

    The mid ship dining room on deck 6 has a portion set aside for reserve class dining. So there will be fewer tables available in that dining room
  5. memoak
    Yes it is very normal. MDR lunch is only on sea days
  6. memoak
    No problem two accounts two credit cards no issue. My wife and I do this all the time

    We never order through the app and only order from bartenders. Never had any issues. Plenty of places to get food and lots of bars
  8. memoak
    Even if you did that if everyone wanted to eat early and very few want to eat after 8:00 you would have the same issue

    We also take longer cruises from 10 to 20 days as a rule. We will usually eat in specialty restaurants at least twice when the dinner menu doesn’t fit our fancy
  10. memoak
    That is correct

    One of the things I see on sailings from the US is that everyone seems to want to eat early. Often there are long lines from 4:30 on even before the doors open. If everyone wants to eat between 5 and 6 there simply are not enough tables. For those who want to eat after 7:30 there is usually no issues

    Everyone chooses how to spend money on cruises. We choose not to pay for chefs table or winemakers dinners don’t buy jewelry or most excursions. We are casino players so we take our discounts and upgrade to reserve class

    We have sailed in suites 8 times since the restart and it is not an issue. The specialty restaurants do set tables aside on embarkation night. We either go to the venue when we embark or call the dine line never had a problem. In fact once we were called by the dine line while we were unpacking to set a venue and time

    Thank goodness for reserve dining

    Never got a bounce back but saw some possible deals on line so called CVP and got some good deals for 2025 including a re fare of an existing cruise. Was able to get free room, plus and a little free play. Not quite as good as before but not bad

    At Crown I am partial to both the filet and the lamb chops. At Sabatini’s almost all the pastas are good especially the carbonara
  17. memoak
    When you have cruised over 50 times and spend a lot of time in restaurants and bars you get to know quite a few people. On our last cruise we bumped into a bar manager and 3 bartenders we had sailed with before

    The Crown is an older ship the bigger ones have more There is sometimes a pop up now and then but to reassure you we have enjoyed meals in both.
  19. memoak
    As far as I know the only specialty restaurants on the Crown are Sabatini’s (my favorite) and Crown Grille. What is the 3rd restaurant you are referring to ?
  20. memoak
    We were just on the Crown a month ago and there was a different menu each day
  21. memoak
    They are also on your app and TV
  22. memoak
    Entertainment is a very broad category which also includes casino workers not just singers and dancers. How do I know that ? Because I was gifted a specialty dinner on my last cruise and per dine line it was from the entertainment department and yes I am a casino player
  23. memoak
    So do I. I thought I was the only one who used their pet as the personal pic
  24. memoak
    Again all those who might bring you a blanket at MUTS or an extra towel at the pool are giving you service as well as many that you never see. Again just my opinion Basically how do you determine which of the crew”deserve” it
  25. memoak
    But when you leave they will still have to clean it up
