Full hot breakfast included in the price of the room, further justifying that 220 a night for this room was an insane deal.

 

breakfast was in the concierge room on the first level, unlimited canned soda or bottled juice. Had coffee, yogurt teas, etc. Hot buffet with eggs bacon etc as well as an omelet and waffle station.

 

no one left hungry from our table. 

You got a great price on that room plus Concierge lounge access, very “sweet” suite.

Kids splash pad is awesome, ds is 4.5 and loving every minute out here.

 

 

[DeerJod]

Side note, pool deck is scorching hot for big and little feet alike

Enjoy the "FREE" dom!

 

need to remember that TipTop next time I'm on Delta. Always use Delta Comfort.

Usually just grab a beer.

Rooms ready promptly at 1:30

Can confirm no canned water with the water package.

 

[DeerJod]

Ds is 4.5 and got the same diamond benefits letter as his dad (Me). Leads me to believe that if someone runs out of free alcohol they might be able to use his. I’d never try such a thing, just speaking hypothetically of course… 

[DeerJod]

Cruising as a solo dad is hard, first drink (onboard) happened at 1:35 a sad looking Long Island iced tea.

Guest services has a crazy line it stretches back pat the elevators.

Dude… presidential suite for 220 a night is a complete steal…

Awesome hotel room

confused about room

[DeerJod]

Drink number 2 a very pink old fashioned. 
 

 

[DeerJod]

No hand soap in our room, slight problem in my humble opinion.

Boleros has Elijah Craig and Buffalo trace, I heard others mention limited booze offerings but looking good here.

His sea pass vouchers will not get you alcohol but can be used for mocktails, fresh squeezed OJ, soda, bottled water, coffee drinks, etc. There are other differences... like he won't get a free picture or the $6 or whatever in free casino slot play.

 

My slightly older nieces are Diamond and became quite addicted to virgin daiquiris on our family cruise a few months ago, lol. As an uncle, it was fun being able to take the 12-year-old "to the bar."

 

 

[OCSC Mike]

Since you got a Long Island, go try "The Pitch" at Playmakers. It's an altered version with midori and sprite. Funky green color too...

Way to ruin my fun! 

[DeerJod]

Back to a Long Island for some value, only one free drink ticket then back to a cash bar until tomorrow! 

[DeerJod]

The buy one get one might have to come out before the day is done, ds bed time is 8 pm so the day is fleeting fast.

LOL. I was just letting you know in case you didn't know there were other uses for his vouchers.

[DeerJod]

Saving my last drink ticket for chops, got a corona and paid full freight. 
 

 

[DeerJod]

I had no idea if you booked on day one you got a free bottle of bubbles per room, you learn something new every day. 
 

 

[DeerJod]

Gave our stateroom attendant a 50 and asked for hand soap, he said it was a fleet wide issue, I really hope this is not the case

[DeerJod]

Washed our hands outside the windjammer then went to the diamond lounge then back to chops. 

[DeerJod]

Diamond lounge is awesome, first timer and in love. Glad I’m in my 30s and have many years to enjoy it.
