    For most Grand class ships except for the two mentioned these changes do not mean much. The only casual restaurant is Salty Dog at the Wheelhouse bar and it has always had a charge. There are no free sit down casual restaurants on most ships

    The ones I saw on deck plans were identified as S7 cabins which should indicate full suite benefits
  3. memoak
    We always prefer aft penthouse suites to the mid ship ones. Great balconies and ltelaxing wake sounds
  4. memoak
    That in my opinion is very generous
  5. memoak
    In my opinion the amounts are very reasonable. Actually much less than I would be paying in tips for a land trip
  6. memoak
    There is no such plan as Premier Plus as far as I know You can either have Plus or Premier
  7. memoak
    On deck plans the show as S7 on Fiesta deck
  8. memoak
    I haven’t seen sushi or tapas included at Vines in 2023 at all on any ship I have been on either Royal class or Grand class

    I have always gotten a call once even while I was on a different cruise. Anywhere from 2-5 weeks out. The calls came from Ocean Navigators
  10. memoak
    It is also quite an event
  11. memoak
    Then all the non drinkers and people who don’t sure alternative dining venues will complain the are subsidizing the rest of the passengers

    Having worked as a server in my younger years and have many friends who still work then restaurants I can tell you most ate making minimum wage do you insist the restaurant in your home town to pay more so you don’t have to tip ?
  13. memoak
    When the call you to set up the 360 dinner they will ask you what date and sitting you would like. There are 2 sittings of 20 people per day
  14. memoak
    It will depend on the length of the cruise. If it is 6 days or more you will be entitled to 2 setups. The suite minibar does not apply to short cruises. This is spelled out in suite benefits

    On the other hand it is now taking at least 400 days to make the cut for most traveled. I can remember when 250 put you near the top of the list. I don’t go to elite lounges br aide a few snacks is no big deal for me. All it would do is ruin my appetite for dinner

    I made a reservation at my favorite local restaurant a month ago for a special occasion I have coming up next week. When I get to the restaurant and find that price of items has been increased should I throw a tantrum and insist on last months prices ?
  17. memoak
    I believe we are referring to passengers removing gratuities, smuggling booze on board and sharing drink packages
  18. memoak
    When the price of eggs goes up 20% do you stop making omelets ?
  19. memoak
    Then you will have a concierge lounge there will be info in your cabin to give their phone number and you will have a card that allows you to access the lounge
  20. memoak
    Please let us know which ship you will be on. The Royal class ships have a concierge snd lounge who can help you make those reservations. Since you are in a full suite you will automatically get a free specialty dinner the first night. If you are on a ship without a concierge lounge just call the dine line and they will set you up
  21. memoak
    Then book the standard fare and don’t do any extra things. IC, MDR, Buffet and water don’t cost you anything
  22. memoak
    There should have been a piece of paper on your desk when you embarked telling you that the dine line can make reservations
  23. memoak
    3 glasses of bottom line wine would be $36 or so. Aft in grate and Wi-Fi plus waters, coffee etc and if it added up to more than $60 then it is to your advantage if not don’t buy it
  24. memoak
    Did you call the dine line ? That is what you have to do
  25. memoak
    That would be the only one unless they bring bs k things like the Crab Shack in the buffet
