I'm closely following it so I know what to expect for this weekend when I get onboard. Can anyone use the TJ's luggage service? That would work perfectly for when I get back from the cruise to store my luggage before I head to the hotel. Is the crew shop only open to crew (just wondering in case any last minute things are needed). Other than that, great report so far. Have a great cruise. No idea if you can check bags at TJ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The back room boards before the front room. If you want to board early, be in the back room and lurk by the boarding door. Are you saying there was not any priority boarding for platinum and above?

There was no separate seating. And, because the waiting area is divided in two, unless you know where to position yourself, you may be mind half the people waiting (which is what happened last tine we left from the Bell Street terminal.

ggTexasGal Posted September 5, 2023 #64 Share Posted September 5, 2023 You might also ask what they "do" have available, and/or, if they have something they will substitute if your selection is not available. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
depplep Posted September 5, 2023 #65 Share Posted September 5, 2023 I see. I was just wondering how to ask without seeming tacky. "Hey, what do you have that's good and on sale?" 😁 1 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare BirdTravels Posted September 5, 2023 Author #67 Share Posted September 5, 2023 (edited) One of the best shows at sea is the Choir or Man. Prior to the show starting, the cast invites everyone onto the stage for a cup of beer with them.

Rare BirdTravels Posted September 5, 2023 Author #68 Share Posted September 5, 2023 The Encore Theater hosts the Choir of Man, Magic, Comedy, BINGO, and many many more activities. The Bird often roosts in the production, sound, and lighting booth. Always so fascinated by the modern automation. So different from when The Bird was a young chick. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

durberville Posted September 5, 2023 #70 Share Posted September 5, 2023 Wow! Thank you so much for this astonishingly thorough report! No one could ask for more! Do you know if it’s possible to get reservations for Choir of Man on board? We booked last minute and very few options for pre booking ANYTHING exist. While this show is raved about there doesn’t appear to be any other production shows or one-offs? In the theater. 🫤 Entertainment seems to be more smaller venue comedy shows n such?
