  1. Complaining is what we do bestest! 😠
  2. Did you check the price? I have a friend on a 51 day sailing and the Signature Beverage Package was only, about $12/day for him.
  3. The HAL secondary booking system is notoriously wonky. Call your PCC or TA and they can add it for you. The alternative is Ship Services at 800–541–1576.
  4. No, they're the real menus. We have a friend on the Rotterdam right now. We see the Rotterdam menus because we board on Friday. The menus are exactly what they are having on the ship.
  5. I believe that it's part of the Europe Itineraries for this coming season.
  6. Here in is the Club Orange room service breakfast menu. You can see the fresh orange juice listed. This is from the Nieuw Statendam in December. I expect that the one from the Rotterdam later this week will be the same.
  7. I assume you are on the Rotterdam. If so, we're in the same boat. I tried adding some events to my itinerary. It looked like it was working at first. Things even showed on my daily itinerary - briefly. Then, they'd fall off when checked back later. We have to wait until we are on the ship.
  8. They do enforce it at our table. Granted, it's only ever people with whom we're traveling. But if you fail to deliver the sartorial splendor, you can expect stink eye, taunting and other things, like the "cruelty of the day." Also, our minimum expectations are higher than the published dress code.

    Technically, yes. They all need to be verified ahead of time because they're good on future bookings. Military verification is once and done. The others need to be done manually. You might get lucky, but then you may be denied if you verified after booking. It's not exactly a long, arduous process. You should be able to get it done online with minimal fuss. From what Understand, the educator credit might require additional documentation if you retired, particularly if the school is no longer there.
  10. Today on the Rotterdam, Blueberry Croissant Bread Pudding with warm vanilla rum sauce. To add a cruel note: Apple Crumble Tart - but it's no sugar added. I'm seeing these because we sail on the Rotterdam on Friday.
  11. If you add HIA for passengers 3 or 3&4, they get Wi-Fi. HIA always includes internet access. What differs is whether or not it includes gratuities, aka crew appreciation. HIA+, which is the early booking bonus version, does include crew appreciation. HIA+ is is normally the version when you are booking well over a year in advance.
  12. I have not had it, but if it's on the 9 day menu cycle for the Rotterdam, I'll give it a try... for science. The Rotterdam is on the 12 day cycle right now and we join for the 9 day on Friday.
  13. Ocean Players Club is a Carnival Corp subsidiary. It handles the casino stuff for all the brands.
  14. Tonight's Rotterdam MDR bread pudding is chocolate hazelnut with a vanilla rum sauce. Again, not showing on the Lido menu. Perhaps the MDR bread puddin' is a reward for putting on long pants. 😉
