Won't catch me anywhere near those cabanas. I travel with my own Cabana boy. 😄 😄

Oh...no..no...no. I will be incognito as much as possible. 😄

I like the part about the mini bar. Ummm....huh??? 😉 So happy they did away with those things a long time ago. Almost every cruise they added a small annoying charge AFTER we left the ship. 😠

Looks like Czar is replacing Azar in the Concierge Lounge for start of mini segment tomorrow out of Southampton. Were you on 4 mini segments? We were on first quarter (Miami to LA)....now on this last quarter, Barcelona to Miami for finish, with being happy to do half the WC. Worked great for us to break it up.

My crystal ball agrees with you! Happy you talked us into joining you on Apex. Looks like a beautiful ship...and will be a fantabulous birthday party!! Woo..hooo!! 🥳

It definitely was a well placed carrot on a string for us! 🙂

Zs and Pinnies get unlimited.

Never say never....I made that mistake a few years ago. 😉

Oh gosh that happened twice to me as well on the first quarter. Until they got wise to someone that actually knows the difference. 😄

Hide your card!!! 😄

Same thing in the concierge lounge. Azar is already pulling out a pre chilled glass and fresh bottle for me when I walk in. 🥰

Yup. Still getting it every where else. I guess the WJ just did not stock. But then again, hoping it's not another shortage issue to come, like happened on first quarter, as in and out stock.

Yeah...the "old boys club" mentality. 😉

LOL...good one...click bait!! 😄

We are very much looking forward to our first X cruise in December! 🙂 Thanks so much for all the info my friend...and the email updates too. 🥰

On first quarter it was so annoying how much they kept running out of Kim Crawford. It's become very popular, especially being included in the unlimited drink package. Finally ran into that situation in the WJ yesterday for lunch, but luckily still in supply in the CL. Though our favorite bartender is stashing it away for the few of us that drink it every night. 🙂 Not a Chard fan myself. My go to wines are NZ Sauvignon Blancs. 🥰 Have not touched my comped wine yet, which is Peter Yealands NZ SB.. Saving that for when the whole ship runs out of KC. 😉

I want my "kiss me, I am special" pin. 😄 But actually on our X cruise...I will be hiding my card as much as possible. We are the "red headed step children Zeniths". 😉

It's funny to see some of the older ships....those balconies are actually inset of the hull.

"Outside cabins" have windows. Once again...all in the name. But they don't open, and they are not outside. 😉 😄

LOL...it's still doable. Things could be worse....and in fact, the one good thing is...three more bottles of wine with start of each mini leg. 😄

Everything you would go through on a B2B.

OMG...that is one of the funniest posts I have read in a long time. Thanks for the laugh!! 😄 😄

Except the OV cabin windows...don't open. 😉

The formality of being a "turn around day"....when we never booked it that way. The mini segments came much later after the quarters were being booked.

Indeed love that location for suites...but prefer the single floor of the GS...and being just the two of us...all we need. Did find it funny the last time we stayed in a CLS. Rather than drag clothes back down the stairs to level one for packing night before disembarkation....I tossed them over the railing. Raining clothes!! 😄
