Did they give you a whole bottle of wine as a solo? I have heard various reports on this. Some solos seem to receive only a glass rather than the bottle. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have heard various reports on this. Some solos seem to receive only a glass rather than the bottle. It’s one bottle per table. I have done it many times. If its a Galveston cruise I drink it. If its another cruise I give it away. It’s always been a bottle for me. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Saint Greg Posted February 12, 2023 Author #360 Share Posted February 12, 2023 I hate this. I know people don’t want me in their business. I try as best as I can to ignore and let them learn on their own. I was doing that at dinner with the table of four next to me…until the surveys were brought up. What I over heard was a person ordered a bucket and was told it was not a part of their package. I let it go until someone suggested they leave a bad comment on the survey. I asked if they had cheers. They did. I told them a bucket would not be included in the cheers package. They said they were trying to pay for it on a credit card. I brought up the fact that carnival enforces a 15 drink limit that you can get around by ordering a bucket. But a bartender that does that is skirting the rules. The surveys are very important and you don’t want to put a bad comment in on someone who was doing the right thing. This happened during my main course and I felt like garbage after that. Basically the result was them talking lower. And even then I heard the one guy on a different issue say when in doubt, complain to guest services. 20 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s not something I’d like to make a habit of but in this case the hotel prices were insane. There was nothing I wanted to do there that day. The other instance was my 2021 panorama and I didn’t have enough vacation time to take the day before off. Yeah we are in a hard spot with upcoming cruise being 9 nights and trying to minimize using so many vacation days. Oh well I have 3 months to figure it out lol. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Saint Greg Posted February 12, 2023 Author #364 Share Posted February 12, 2023 Really fighting to be able to use CC on this ship. They had a comp between two couples to be vips and gave it to both. Reserved seats the entire cruise. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

luvcruzing Posted February 12, 2023 #367 Share Posted February 12, 2023 I flew in day-of for my November Magic cruise for the same reasons - expensive hotels. Was certainly nervous doing it, though. The last shuttle I booked was leaving at 11:30, and my plane was landing at 11:10. I did make it before 11:30, and then paced waiting for the shuttle. Started to worry that I had missed it and called the company a couple of times only to be able to leave a message. Shuttle finally showed up at noon. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Saint Greg Posted February 12, 2023 Author #368 Share Posted February 12, 2023 I do have a Julie Scoggins story. I try to keep up a punchliner schedule on my website. I was getting Julie Scoggins’ schedule from her Facebook. She puts her schedule on her banner. But I had her as Scroggins. About a year and a half ago she emails me. “It’s Scoggins not Scroggins.” I thought man…I’m going to always mess that up. Nope. I always remember that email. Scoggins not Scroggins. 13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im really in the steakhouse now but I like to keep things in order. Maria made this. It’s really good. A lot of people ordered it after seeing it. I think it would be a really good Christmas drink. That looks like my “Christmas in a glass” Alchemy drink from Mardi Gras in November. Soooo good! 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WhiteOptima Posted February 12, 2023 #375 Share Posted February 12, 2023 Doing Spirit for the first time on our April Celebration cruise. I told my DH we have to watch because @Saint Greg has mentioned they have changed his flights. Logged in today and yep our 3:30pm flight is now leaving at 10:30am and our flight home is now 2 hours later. No email, no app notification. Thank goodness I read these blogs or would not be paying any attention to changes. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
