Price differential is usually a factor between choosing a suite or booking guaranteed for most people. Look at the worst location of a junior suite on the ship in question, figure you will get that suite. If you get something better you have a small to large win.
classically designated as a One-Hit Wonder (and not of the seas)
I would have been the Godmother for the cost of one free cruise. My rendition of Tequila wows the crowd everytime. (I as perform a fantastically stirring Hot Butter-Popcorn and also Run, Don’t Walk.)
OP: save your cash and buy individual drinks. (Unless you get lucky with a huge price drop) Then when in port, get hammered to your heart’s content. - I’ve been doing this for years and haven’t missed a ship yet. 😃
whatever you end up doing, enjoy your trip.
To my knowledge, we haven't met and "forced" might be a little strong, but my wife does indicate that it is mandatory they we book cruises quite often. If that changes, I'll indicate here on CC.
I like knowing the "bottom line" for easy comparison. There currently is no need for me to know the Government Fee or Taxes amounts, if the law changes allowing me to deduct the taxes, then that's another ballgame.
Very good short synopsis of the Quantum.
Our Thoughts
Quantum- We like the suite(Con) lounge quite a bit and the Crown Lounge is good enough.
Bumper Cars, Pickle Ball - the lines are too long, I gave up on three separate Quantum Sailings.
270 is very good, but the temperature is somewhat hard to control. (Wife gets cold)
I hope that Playmakers gets added to the Seaplex as it is badly needed.
We use two cups and a really long string to communicate with those on land.(or I yell really loudly)
But you should enable Wi-Fi calling with your carrier prior to leaving home. This will allow for calling. You should also be able to receive calls, but frequently our phone don’t ring-a-ding.
Royal reports they receive responses to 51% of the surveys. But, I frequently don't even get one.
---Something important to say: Email or mail them a soliloquy. Name Names.
Also throw in your really bad British English accent... Like "Govner, I'm heading to the loo, but for a few quid could I get a kettle, so that I can enjoy a cuppa tea."
Might not work, but you never know until you try.
Quantum had kettles in Alaska recently.
Looks like it's time to make a list of ships and slowly check off the one's with shore power connections. If it helps, I have a really long lightning cable for my iPhone.

We've returned a number of bottles of wine to Passenger Services that were incorrectly delivered our stateroom. Plus, we've consumed a few that were incorrectly delivered to our stateroom.
No set price to airport.
LAX is usually easy to get near(but accidents do shutdown freeways at times) but the last mile can take “forever”
Long Beach or John Wayne much better.
A Celebrity cruise and a Royal Caribbean cruise are two different monsters. We will certainly be looking at itinerary and price more often in the future.
