As usual I adore you my friend. 😄

I received 6 envelopes containing duplicate 10 pages from Hornblower (Omni Solutions) stating update information. Pretty much about the appointment customer representative. Not really much of anything real as to actual refunds. Yeah, six envelopes that they paid 88 cents each to mail.

No...no. The trick is to increase the price by 100% and offer a 50% off discount!! 😄 😄

Thanks Dave. I think many of us have "been there, done that" witnessing those poor pax walking around with full plates and no place to sit. It's a dining room...not a game/card room...or email checking room. Way too many other venues around the ship for that.

One of my favorite venues on the Radiance ladies...is the outdoor dining area aft the WJ. We pick a table, take turns going up to the buffet (salad bar is usually a go to for us), then take our plates outdoors to enjoy the view. Not a lot of pax go out there, so it is usually not so busy. Can also order wine/beer or drinks at the WJ bar to take out with you also. Sanitize on the way in, then once again before we sit down.

One of my favorite things about embarkation day CK, is having somewhere to enjoy a quiet place for lunch (away from the craziness of the WJ/promenade), and a good place for our carry on bags while we wait for the cabins to open.

Thanks! Very nice of you to say so. 🥰

Aww....thanks! Very sweet of you. 😊 I did enjoy doing the posts, but a few posters (not on the ship) changed that happy feeling for me.

I think those announcements are meant for those who sit at tables that are not eating. They are on their devices, playing cards, board games etc. Fine if not busy, but have witnessed poor pax aimlessly walking around with plates of food in their hands....not finding any available table to sit at. There are other areas in the ship to use for games, etc.

Thanks! Indeed I had fun posting my adventures...but alas...a few bad apples spoil the batch I guess.

We did not have the drink package on our cruise, but enjoyed the wines with dinner and lunch. When their choice of wine was subpar for me, I simply walked back to the cabin to fill my glass with the wine they supplied in our fridge (suite) that I liked, and took that to dinner. 😉

Thanks. We will be in 7016. Good to know about the 9 pm turn off. I will indeed be one to complain if it is not turned off and wakes me up. 😉

Thanks....but I won't be posting on the thread I created when we rejoin in Barcelona. Had too much problems with pax that were not even on the cruise, posting personal pictures and experiences (even on different cruise lines) that had nothing to do with the WC. When I gently tried to get them to stay on topic (as in Cruise Critic rules for off topic/hacking)...I got shot down. One problem poster (also not on the cruise) even said "Don't listen to Pat..post anything you want". That was it for me. I had fun doing it, but people like that ruined it. CC removed some of those posts, though I had nothing to do with that, I did not report the posts. I just let it go.

Insignificant? Really? About to cruise on X for the first time. We are now Zenith. Score, and saved 2500 on our previously booked cruise, just for getting the Zenith perks. Yeah...not insignificant at all for us.

B2B and more cruises are the reasons I don't bid on an upgrade. I will only bid on single leg cruises...though we don't do a lot of those any longer. Just really don't want to move. Unpack once and call it home. 😉

Rejoining for last quarter July 10th out of Barcelona. Really looking forward to the Norway fiords, and the 5 port we have there the most...though the rest of the 62 night is pretty interesting also. 🥰

Indeed yes....prefer the simple easy uncomplicated way! 😉 Good choice!

And a bonus when it is raining. 😉 We had no problem with the view in this cabin for 1st quarter world cruise on sister ship Serenade. 🙂

Thanks! Yes, I just now scrolled down and found those pictures. 🙂

Ah yes....life is adventure...enjoy while still can. 🥰

We will be in 7016...I am pretty sure that is direct facing of the elevator lobby. And actually I think the OS will get most of the food/foot traffic on the starboard side.... going into Mamsen's on that side.

WJ etiquette? Yeah, just as elevator etiquette. There is nada...none...enter at your own risk. 😉

Thanks for the report! One question on deck 7. You show 7017 as full facing...is that the Owners Suite? Which would be the one and only cabin on the starboard side there I believe. All else being port side.

Out bugs...out I say!! 😄

And your stats are found where? Keep in mind ......just to get to Pinnacle, there might be a bit of money involved...why not book suites if you can? No one interviewed me. 😉
