For me it’s also to do with the wines. I’m very fussy. I like good wine. I generally will try the premium wines & then will more likely order a bottle as they are often better. I get a discount on the bottles so it’s a win for me. I drink white. Dh red so he does the same.
I will not be pre paying gratuities for my upcoming May cruise. We will pay the new amount at the time. For my October cruise we will be tipping the extra amount personally as the cruise starts on 17/10.
When we were in PH it was pretty much unlimited although I think officially it was 2 bags per person per cruise at the time.
Laundry perks I think are RS & above.
My friends mum was on P&O
recently & they were told expressly not required to tip extra. She found it refreshing & one less thing for her to be concerned about.
Haven’t they tried to eliminate it by including auto tips? But some people still tip extra which I think is the confusing part especially for us who don’t come from a tipping culture.
I love Virgin mojitos & coladas. Always feel like I’m on holiday drinking them. I love a cocktail while sunbathing but can’t tolerate alcohol during the day.
Does anyone have a breakdown of how much staff are paid daily please? Or where I can look for it? Thank you.
Edit: prices are increasing everywhere else so I don’t see an issue here.
I wore a mask for the first time in months yesterday. I don’t usually. Was on the tube & rammed Like sardines. The smell was horrid. So fished in my pocket & luckily found one. Wasn’t due to covid that I wore one though just the smell was so awful.
It comes up on your sea pass card. However if it’s a child you are with then it doesn’t show their room. Well it didn’t for us. Only when DH went down with our youngest did we realise she was being charged.
Well I had both flu & 4th covid vaccine three days ago. Immunosuppressed so I was called for them. Dh not eligible yet & we sail in just over 2 weeks. Hopefully he’ll be called soon.
The Cypriots & Greeks are very fond of a frappe - iced coffee. In the hot weather it really is delicious.
I’ll make a note to ask for a teapot thank you.
