3,000+ Club (3/15)

  1. Exactly! If you opt to use only your credit and save your spouses the OBC is calculated on the base fare for just passenger. The best way to maximize the credit is to use it on a cruise that costs more such as Alaska or Hawaii or one of the international sailings. Some people splurge and get a higher category cabin on the ship as well. If you have always wanted to try a suite you will get more back in OBC.
  2. The Red Frog Pub no longer sells food in the pub.
  3. I totally agree with this. However my most recent cruise 11/26-12/3 left me wondering if the decline in food quality is going to result in higher revenue from paid venues. I mean some of the most basic menu items were absolutely awful and that was with the new menus! Luckily we have cruised so often that food isn’t a deal breaker for me.
  4. They stopped using them because they were being thrown in with the food waste and not being separated. That’s on them for not following proper procedures and dumping them into the ocean! If I bring a straw in the ship and toss it away in my cabin trash there’s no risk of it making it into the ocean!
  5. Cruisers who focus on the negative! I don’t have a pet peeve other than I’m not on a ship right now!
  6. Is the $36.95 for the souvenir fishbowl that you get to keep? I can’t find the refill prices shown anywhere on the new bar menu.
  7. We use cash in all the ports but never carry a wad of cash. We do have a credit card with us as a back up though. Last cruise we were in Nassau and the Pirate Brewery we stopped at informed us they no longer accept cash. It wasn’t a big deal but they had said it’s becoming an issue to accept cash.
  8. You can request that your bookings be linked. My PVP links all of the bookings together so when we make reservations we are all shown together. It gives us the option to select who will be dining together in case someone wants to dine elsewhere.
  9. In most cases unless it’s a question that is exclusive to John there’s no reason why a PVP or travel agent can’t answer it.
  10. If you won $50 it’s not casino cash (unless they changed it in the last month). I thought I had won the $30 casino cash once and it didn’t show up on my free play. The casino didn’t have me on their list so they sent me to guest services. Imagine my surprise when I found out I had won $50 in cash. It was added to my sign and sail card but I didn’t realize it until they checked my actual account. The casino cash is usually $30 so perhaps you have the $50 on your card already. The casino has a sheet they can check for you.
  11. You can ask for anything on the list and not add the pasta. They are very accommodating!
  12. The easiest way to do this is to go to guest services and get keys for the rooms that are being switched. We do it all the time with no issues.
  13. Yes, call room service and ask them if they can send cookies instead of the platinum strawberries. They usually say yes but they will be delivered that evening. Chocolate chip cookies and white chocolate macadamia nut cookies have been sent each time we’ve asked.
  14. They will gladly send cookies instead of strawberries. The cookies are much better!
  15. As a Diamond I see how many people have also reached this level. When we first started cruising there were usually a dozen Platinum cruisers. I was so excited to reach that level. Diamonds were rare with one or two at the parties. Now the Diamond level parties have been held in the main dining room as a luncheon for the past several cruises I’ve been on. I do agree that there should be something extra for those that have reached double Diamond etc. A complimentary meal in one of the specialty restaurants would be a nice gesture. However many of the seasoned cruisers are already receiving casino comps and perks so they may not be interested in that.
