Maybe you should add the drinks and spa treatments to the list.

Hi Ms Byrdy :)

 

Your suggestions are very good, but the poll's format only allows for ten possibilities, which I have already used. However, anyone is welcome to add these responses as a "write in ballot" :)

To be honest we are willing to pay extra for anything for whatever we decide we want to do at the moment. On the Infinity cruise we just returned from I wanted to have some Spa treatments but could not get an appointment because I wanted to go that day. I understand that they want to be booked ahead, but when I am on vacation I don't like to plan every minute of my day. No big deal, there were plenty of other things to do.

Since we are going on a 14 day European cruise, I have decided to abandon taking my own tuxedo and have instead chosen to rent one onboard. Because of this I won't have to worry about extra baggage or a wrinkled tux. Is this "enhancement" worth it? :D Not NOT!

I have been trying to talk my husband into doing the same thing for our Baltic cruise this summer, but he is concerned that the ships' tux won't fit him properly.

To tell you the truth, I've noticed that my tux has been shrinking at an alarming rate. So I have nothing to "lose" by trying the ship's tux. If it doesn't fit, then I have a perfect explanation why I am wearing jeans on Formal Night. :D
