How many stores have you seen that raise prices on items and then have a “sale” a week later. Up to the consumer to decide what and when to buy In addition excursions always get more expensive as the cruise gets closer.
We dress the same on casual or formal nights Long pants and button down shirt As long as you are not wearing shorts or ratty clothes you are fine. People who want to dress up do but not eveygoes that route
Just a note bounce back offers have gone down recently. We used to get up to $1,000 pp in free play now that is down to around $400 but still get a free balcony or inside. And yes always upgrade to a full suite preferably penthouse
It’s nice but the Royal class ships are just too large and noisy and we hardly ever use the lounge except for maybe a fast coffee in the morning or help with specialty dinner reservations
Yea we have lost a few thousand on a cruise and sometimes break even but we always enjoy the casino. We still take the free balcony and upgrade to a suite. Since we love suites we also like that we can always get a 30% discount on most sailings
We always go in a day early and stay at a hotel near Canada Place. The Pan Pacific is in the dame building and they can have your bags sent to the ship for a small gratuity. We always wait out the crowds have a late breakfast or early lunch and the board after 1pm when the crowds are gone and we have no waits
We just slip into seats in the back or stand in the back so we can leave if we do not like the show. We have seen most of the production shows so usually only check out guest singers
Wi-Fi packages are not priced on usage but on the amount of devices to connect at one time. App runs off free intranet but you cannot connect to internet net for free
We don’t even finish dinner until at least 8:30. Explorers lounge and roomer still jammed. Casino rock till way after midnight and so does Crooners. We always pick up a double Sambucca around 1 am in Crooners on the way back to our suite. There is only one concierge lounge and if you want to be close then pay for a suite nearby. Reserved Dining is no wait good service with an extra menu item. That is what the promise and that is what they deliver
You chose where your suite is. We always sail in aft suites located great for us. We have been eating in Reserve dining for the last 2 years at least and never had a wait so not sure what you mean by never happened. What suite were you in
We pack 7-9 days worth of t shirts, socks and underwear regardless of length of cruise and most of our cruises are 14-21 day cruises. The only short ones are an occasional 10 day Mexico getaway
We only use cash in places like flea markets and small stores like pharmacies. In restaurants we generally use a credit card from a credit union which gives us pretty good rates
