Restaurants on land don’t let customers put their hands on all the food. On ships buffets we have watch people use their hands to go through cold cuts, cheeses etc.
Yes different cabins are available on the 20 day than on the 2 10 day cruises we have booked both ways and often get better cabins and more perks by booking as 2 cruises
It is more the people who refuse to wash hand and refuse to use tongs. We had someone right in front of us grab some premade sandwiches with his hands and when we objected relied so what I’m not sick. Last time ever at any buffet
Remember a certain amount of tables are set aside on embarkation night for full suites who get a complimentary dinner that night and can book when they get on board
I saw someone last week on a train from Vancouver to Seattle and an individual had $8,500 in cash with him that he put on his declaration. This entailed quite a discussion with US customs when they came on board
Then you have not gotten a payout of over $1,200 on any one bet. These are paid by hand and you get a tax form at that time. It has happened to us many times

There are 2 types of mini suites. Regular and Reserve. Reserve minis include dining the the Reserve section of the dining room. Extra entree, no wait and great service. They are also midship and more expensive
