Thank you for the info. We'll be watching for the deals.

I've never thought the MDR had that great of food. I never cruised in the glory days of cruising where you received Michelin star food and everything was gold plated. By the mid-2000s everyone told us it sucked compared to those days already. So we just enjoy it for what it is. I do miss the days (I live less than 45 minutes from PC in Florida) where we could just go on last minute shorties for well under $100 a night. Sometimes $60/70 a night if it was a weak season.

Thank you. The towel thing was in effect prior to our sabbatical. The twice-a-day cleaning always seemed unnecessary to me anyway. We'd grab our person and tell them we'd just use them every other day and not to worry about us. We'd put the DND magnet on the door.

Thanks! This is great to know. What do you get for HH if you don't get unlimited drinks? Do you just have to use your 4 vouchers and there are some appetizers?

Much like Jessie Spano, I'm so excited and I just can't hide it. I'm so excited and I just can't hide it. I'm so excited and I just can't hide it! I'm so happy that I'm not the only one who remembers this. THE DREAM CONTINUES!

I'm sure you meant well by this, but I certainly already did this. I looked through the first dozen or so pages and... well, quite frankly, didn't see much in line with this. I did several searches, as well. It's not my first rodeo, but after doing several things like that I decided just to ask my questions and see who responded. Thanks for yours.

Hello! Just trying to get caught up a little bit. I have thousands of posts here and a couple hundred nights at sea under my belt between several different lines. That said, we last cruised right before COVID hit and I haven't really visited CC since. I am severely out of the loop. We're actually looking at a few up & back Alaskan cruises this summer on either Quantum or Odyssey. That's a class of ship we have never been on. We are going to go on a real Alaskan cruise at some point, doing the entire one-way trip with the land/sea option. This is more just about getting us back out on the seas. A taster cruise, if you will. Has a lot changed? I've been trying to piece together things and do a few searches here, but I don't see that a lot has changed. We are Diamond... in that sad gap where we've been Diamond for a good while and we're getting close to Diamond Plus, but we're still seemingly so far away! We need a few more weeks at sea to get there, but we're well over half way there. Any voucher changes? Any Quantum-class tips? Anything you think we should know about sailing these days or new perks to know about? I'll properly ask any Alaska-specific questions in the Ports of Call section
