Krystal is visiting the diamond concierge, they just remove the reservation and we can book again in 3 days. Some people are having luck sucking up to the instructors. There is a chap, Paul, from Canada, his wife has her own helmet and I think she has ridden many times, pretty much every day. They don’t enter the tube with her, just stand at the door. I think we will get 4 goes. Winning! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare xpcdoojk Posted May 5, 2023 Author #105 Share Posted May 5, 2023 So heading off to the room, been doing some work with slightly tolerable wifi in the robot bar, since nobody is ordering drinks there! Hopefully the crowd has dwindled if not I may be done for the day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare xpcdoojk Posted May 5, 2023 Author #107 Share Posted May 5, 2023 So, back on the bars on ship topic. Last night we had 5 drinks on my card, D+. As we were finishing dinner I asked for two double Gran Marnier on K’s card. 15 minutes later here came two drinks, light for two shots again, and not in a brandy glass. The drinks were perfectly clear, and I couldn’t smell anything. I said, this is not GM? Waiter yes it is Cointreau. I said, Cointreau is not a cognac, GM is a cognac. It is brown not clear. 10 minutes later we had GM still not a full double. Sigh. All of this made me think of John…. Since he thinks all orange liquors are the same!😘 So, real question is….. Sometimes, mostly in specialty dinning they don’t bring me a receipt for drinks. How do we know what they are hitting our cards for. I often get the feeling that they now know we are D+ and they don’t bother doing the wine, they just bring it. Would be good to know. On the upside, when they bring a paper receipt they suck a small tip from me. Since I never carry money, if they were smart they would always bring me a receipt.

Look in the app in the account info - they usually ring up the drinks fairly quickly and they appear in the app. Edited May 5, 2023 by Biker19 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
