You are correct that you lose the Concierge lunch on embarkation day but you can have lunch in Luminae on embarkation day instead.

Bring your own binoculars if you plan to see much.

There have been PUP opportunities and webinars but nothing that is currently open. Follow the link that @TourDeCruise posted going forward.

I sent one request for all our bookings for the year. This year I sent it at the beginning of January for a late January cruise, an April B2B and an October B2B. Three days later the OBC was applied to each booking, easy peasy.

I was there, we were never within a ships length of shore from our view.

Jim is on the Solstice not the Edge. We were on the ship on our balcony. There was never any thing to cause us to be concerned. We were close to land but still in what appeared to be deep water. The ship was turning very very slowly, not spinning or doing donuts as some seem to think.

There are some laundry packages now that you can purchse via the Cruise Planner under Gifts and Gear. We just got off a 18 N sailing and I didn’t see any “fill the bag” laundry offers although I wasn’t specifically looking for any.

The US Coast guard is a branch of the military.

Don’t believe everything you read, and certainly not what you read on social media.

Yes they do sometimes award bid early. We had a sailing at early May and some MU bids were awarded just after mid February.

The shows are normally 40-45 minutes. What isn’t consistent is what time the shows start. We have been on 6 cruises in the past 5 months and the start time on some sailing was 7 &9 other sailings the shows were 7:30 and. 9:30. I can’t explain why, maybe someone else can.

^^^^^ this is the current wine allowance.^^^

Another perk, when I looked at PA. was priority tendering, which has no value on sailing where ship docks or for Elite and above as it is a Captains Club perk.

Or anywhere else on the ship with a beverage package.

Just a tip, have your preferred dates and times written down along with alternative dates and times. As often prime times or dates are not available. So having a backup option makes the process easier
