Always Cruising

A smoked peach margarita - and listen to the music.

His live reviews were the best - and such a great writer. Does anyone know if he and Sue are ok? Sad that he's not posting anymore.

Just found the post - sounds like a fabulous evening!

Love your review, and your writing style! I think I missed the dinner with the officers recap. Which officers attended, and how was it? The last one I attended was set for 14 at a giant almost square table (quite a few tables pushed together), and only 2 officers and 5 guests attended. Lots of empty space, and we couldn't talk to each other at all (except to my friend who was seated next to me, and we'd already been together for 2 weeks!) I suggested we move around to be at least close to others, but the idea was nixed.

I read somewhere on Cruise Critic that Beau will be performing on the Joy May into early June. Will try to find the post...

wondering what the reciprocity is between casinos

I did a search, but couldn't find info. Thanks in advance

What is the yellow and green drink on the table with your clam chowder? Thanks for the great pictures and info...

On the Joy to Bermuda last summer, we were offered Q the first night - the Haven restaurant was overwhelmed. I was glad to take advantage of the offer, and not use a specialty meal. Loved the music and the smoked peach margarita! My daughter and granddaughter stayed for the Haven dinner, but service was slow.

Yes - they were hoping a lot of people would take advantage of the offer, because it was a super full ship (New Years Eve, school vacation, etc). Most cabins had max number of people (ie 6 to a 2 bedroom). Haven lunch would have been crazy busy.

It was offered to Haven guests on my cruise in 2018 - equivalent to American Diner previously offered to alleviate crowding in the Haven dining room the first day (lunch only)

I've found benefits much better abroad for Titanium members. Some US hotels are reticent to even offer breakfast (if no concierge lounge - Mclub now, I think). But hotels in Europe and Britain have been wonderful about an amenity in the room and upgrades - and definite lounge access without a question.

It was all La Cucina stuff - I remember calamari (my fave!), pizza on a high stand and lots of other choices. Probably close to (or maybe the same) as the dinner menu for La Cucina

On a New Year's Eve cruise December 2018 (Escape), we were offered La Cucina as a first day lunch option for Haven guests.

Without the "gambler" traveling, the other 2 passengers will lose whatever discount your husband had, and that balance will have to be paid. Happened to me when I smashed my leg a year and a half ago. My friends went (on 2 different cruises I'd booked), but had to pay whatever was taken off the cruise fare due to my CAS discount.
