I love a Grey Goose and frozen lemonade on the pool deck. So refreshing and not too sweet!

We used this company a couple years ago for a river tubing tour and it was outstanding! We got to the river before the crowds and had a great time. Driver was very nice and we felt safe.
-
I did this tour last year and really enjoyed it as a shorter, non water based excursion. You get to drive through the Good Hope estate and stop at a couple parts of the plantation before reaching the big house. It also included lunch. There was a guide for all of it.

SHIP: Infinity, Oct 2018
CABIN #: 6030
DECK #: 6
CLASS: Balcony 2C
AREA: Near a bank of elevators
BED NEAR: Door
QUIET?: Yes
BALCONY VIEW: Restricted, the suites restrict view aft, and there was a washing gantry of some sorts in front of the next cabin. Direct view into suite if blinds in suite are open.
BALCONY SIZE: Sweet 16, big balcony! Half covered. Standing by rail you are visible to cabins above you, but we never saw anyone out there when we were and it was not a concern. Balcony had 3 chairs and a table out there, no loungers.
WIND A PROBLEM?: No
SOOT A PROBLEM?: No
PROBLEMS/COMMENTS: No issues, great cabin! Balcony door was hard to pull open/closed, not sure if they are all like that.

I just called Celebrity a few days ago when my October cruise dropped in price by $370. They initially refused to do anything, but after I asked nicely I was offered an upgrade to concierge class (I declined) or 300 obc or an upgrade to get free WiFi and onboard gratuities free. I chose 300 obc. Never hurts to ask!

Enjoyed reading your thoughts... I was on the same sailing and had a great time!

Are these types of options posted anywhere online? I can never find anything when I log in to rcl... or maybe nothing is offered on my particular ships?

I don't know if the oscars will be popular these days because of the highly predictable political whining from the Hollywood elite we'll see with this one.....
Whenever there's a good show or series being aired and we're cruising, we get an internet package, bring one of the tablets along, and hit on HBO Go....which reminds me - Game of Thrones season 7 comes on "later in the summer months" - I'm getting the feeling we'll have to do it all over again like last cruise....
We've never done the Internet package but I did consider it on the off chance that the network (abc) will stream it. I would definitely do it for G of Time lol.

Last year on Serenade they showed it in the theatre after show.
I think. There was an oscars trivia too

I'm going to be on Allure during the Oscars this year, and thought it would be fun to watch during my cruise. Does anyone know if rcl airs it anywhere onboard? I looked at old threads and it didn't look too promising... so I thought I'd ask again and hope for a different answer. [emoji12]

Thanks for posting! I will be on the Allure next month. Can't wait!!

And this is why I would never remove items from a chair even if it was a towel.
I would get a staff member to do it and should the person come back I can say items were removed by staff.
If staff member wouldn't move items I would move on.

Oasis was my first ever cruise, Navigator my second. id a review with this very thing in mind!
-
I don't see a price difference with my TA, she says the prices they get are the same as the site, but I have received free specialty dining vouchers and spa vouchers. I don't know what I will get until after final payment so it's always a nice little extra perk!

Recently I heard two comments made about ordering sushi "to go" from Izumi and getting Sabor food delivered while sitting in Schooner Bar (guessing it was a ship where the two are near each other)...
so, is it OK to take food to eat in other areas of the ship like bars or pool deck? Maybe this is obvious but I never thought of it!

If I could get a straight answer to one question -- and I don't think any of us actually know the truth on this one -- I'd like to know whether the specialty dining fee goes to the ship or the wait staff. If I could know the answer to that question, I'd feel more secure in my opinion.
I know what you mean. I assumed the cover was for higher food quality rather than gratuity, so it seems odd not to tip for the truly excellent service we received at most of the Specialty restaurants. I'm sure the wait staff don't get the entire cover fee. And nope, I didn't eat at MDR ever and Windjammer only the first day for lunch.
-
Thanks for sharing! Going on her in February!

I believe that the tip is included in your Specialty fee.
I also don't want to pay taxes on the tips I leave. If the cruise lines include it in your fare I would have to pay tax on that amount.
You are right, I was mistaken about the specialty fee. And good point about the tax thing.
-
I wish that the gratuities would be a service charge that is non-removable. If that were done like at hotels, people pay the charge and that's it. I look at tips as part of the cruise charge and I don't worry if I don't eat in the MDR a few nights because I still eat on the ship.
I am not made of money, but I know the crew is paid by the gratuities, so it is something I feel I need to do.
Yeah, in a lot of ways I don't disagree... although I despise the "resort fee" that so many hotels charge now. I am not against paying gratuities, I just want them to go to the staff that actually served me, since the concept of a gratuity is based on quality of service received.
However, I've been reading more about this and realize now that with how the tips are "pooled", it's questionable how much of that money goes directly to the crew members anyway..or if it does, it gets distributed to whoever RCL deems to give the best service, not me. I guess if everyone tipped their actual waiters fairly if would be the best of both worlds.
-
Gratuities are included in the cost of the specialty restaurant.
Oops you are right... we tipped at all the restaurants because I missed this fact. So I guess I triple tipped :eek::D
Wonder Room Layouts- sofa near door

Does anyone know any tips to figure out if the sofa will be near the door or balcony for Wonder OTS balcony rooms? We prefer sofa near door and have read tips on how to figure this out for other ships, but haven't found any info about Wonder specifically.
