Breakaway Update

[whenisthemidnightbuffet?]

Just off the 7/7 sailing. Had great time and will post review soon. FYI they did offer the Lattitude Party for all levels, Bronze and up, on Tuesday night at 7:15, contrary to what their website states and past cruises. When I asked why they were now offering it I was told it was to relieve some of the congestion in the dining rooms. Cocktails and snacks were served with music and dancing, very nicely done.

 

They also offered a discount to the Cirque show on the first night. An announcement was made during lunch that tickets would be discounted 25 percent for first night only. Not sure why, and if this will be offered again, but assume it was underbooked.

That's the reason, same as free wine on early seatings in speciality restaurants offered on some ships/itineraries/individual cruises, to get people to eat on quieter time, or in this case, paying also on the first night when most are not yet settled in and wouldn't yet think about things like that. :)

.....if people pre-booked the Cirque show for the first night, do you know if they got the discount too?

Wasiii, I'm most curious to hear from you after your cruise - seeing as I've only been on the Miracle (love that ship!); and I know you've sailed her several times. I hope you post a review :)

First night is also Lobster Tail night in the 3 MDR's......and this is another way of 'crowd control"

My cruise, and cruise before mine, did not have Lobster Tail in MDR and the talk on the boards is there will no longer be lobster in MDR.

Sorry do not know the answer to this as I knew no one who prebooked for that night.

Nope. Friend pre-booked Cirque first night. $39.99/per person no discount.

Thank you kylenyc, much appreciated.

 

I guess procrastination is good sometimes. ;)
