Pepperoni, regular bacon and mushrooms are on the Canadian Classic  from Papa John"s here in Canada.

I never knew I was Canadian. Wow! 

That's my go-to pizza (but with garlic parmesan sauce instead of tomato)

You can't be serious!  What are they mixing into that Canada Dry?

 

Also, if you get another one. Is this the stuff that is bottled in Plano TX?  First time I drank it, as a Canadian, I was terribly disappointed.  Canadian Canada Dry tastes different than Canada Dry bottle in the US.  Not as much ginger.

As mentioned earlier, there are two pups onboard. But this isn't a place for Bell😉

Bet she wouldn't think so.

It's because his drink coupons are good up to $13 so he's saying he used a coupon for it since he's in the DL lol.

The same can be said for getting a specialty coffee or water when your the deluxe drink package.  It's not really a $13 soda, some people just look at it that way since the maximum drink limit is $13 per drink.

@John&LaLa I’m looking for something to do in St Maarten during our stop on Allure early December. Holland House came up on my search. Saw in the thread that you canceled. Any feedback on the place? 
I’m cruising with a friend and we like to do a beach, lounger, refreshment day. Been to Maho/Sunset before and looking for something different

NOW the difference between the knock off and the REAL thing is quite visible. Love the colors, and the lady wearing them 🥰

You can really tell?  Both dresses look like flowery prints to me....

We always take the ferry across the bay.  They have chairs, umbrellas and I think you get a bucket of beers for 30 dollars.  That was the last time we were there so I am sure it cost more.  We always go for lunch at the resort there.

As of now,  the ginger ale hasn't shown up as a voucher drink. Doubt we'd use our allotment tonight anyhow. 

 

I think Laura has/had a can in her cabin from night 1. I'll look

Yep, but I've noticed some of our voucher drinks aren't showing up on the app.

America Cup yacht race is always fun.

 

This would have been our first trip to HH

Just realized I didn't post today's compass. Apologies. Here you go.

John, how do you tell if your drinks are being charged to your account?  Also, do you think that if you tip extra up front that they give you a better drink?

[John&LaLa]

And as long as I'm here, how about Day 5 as well.

 

 

 

 

And my new buddy

On Odyssey I know I went over 6 drinks more than one day but wasn't charged.  Crew seem eager to please Pinnacles.  

 

Forgot to use my C&A BOGO beer/wine discounts, drank like I had a drink package and walked away with a $78 bar bill.  If I hadn't ordered those nicer cabs with the filet in CK I would have been half that (or if I had remembered to use my other C&A discounts).

Click on account at bottom of app. Vouchers show up as zero charge.

 

No idea on tipping. Always tip at delivery. Many servers get to know you

I'd go over if it weren't for casino, but the servers are generous.

Loving your TR, makes me get excited for our cruise in JAnuary.  Almost cancelled but we have not cruised in 5 years so really miss it.  We are going on Anthem.

More than just Pinnacles.  As Diamonds in a suite, we had a few extra drinks on a few days (I think) and I had some happy hour drinks in the SL that weren't from the HH menu.  I'm guessing that they're being generous during this cruising restart period.

Glad to hear it's all levels.
