  1. Fun fact - people think reds don't need to be refrigerated because they're supposed to be served at room temperature. They are, but that's room temperature in Europe in the winter prior to central heating. So today, slightly chilled.
  2. I was able to log in, but when I went to look at my upcoming cruises in the Tier and Points area (I wanted to see where I'd end up with everything booked currently) it said I have 0 upcoming cruises. Too bad, since I board the Constellation in 13 days, and have a total of 14 in the next three years.
  3. I've done it twice, once on Princess and once on Celebrity (Eclipse). First time it was rough, second time "Drake Lake".
  4. That's what we're doing, more or less. In January 2025, we're doing 7 days on the Sun Princess, then a night in a hotel, then 7 on the Ascent.
  5. Agree, and if I want a 7 day cruise, I'll do Princess out of Los Angeles - a one hour flight.
  6. I know I am for us, and yet I had to use Glen's last name to bid.
  7. I figured it out. It's in my husbands last name. They're different. I went ahead and bid. We're in an Aqua sky suite, and I don't love the location. I called to downgrade, but I'd pay more and lose considerable perks.
  8. Yes, I did that, It keeps coming back with the booking is ineligible. There's no reason for that, since I can do it for my February cruise just fine.
  9. Yes, I know that, but what does that have to do with not being able to bid?
  10. If this is solstice, I didn't get it. And I want to try. And the agency is eligible.
  11. I have the same fear. I've that 3 times. First two were a city/winery tour with lunch in Montevideo. Same tour, years apart. Payment for all at the winery. First time, couple called on day of tour to say they were sick. No offer to pay. Fortunately, the winery only charged for the tour, and the 12 of absorbed it. It was only about 5-10 dollars a person. Second time, same tour 3 people dropped out, but they said they were coming by to pay for it. I only took the money for their city tour, since the winery wouldn't charge for their lunch. Then last week, I'd arranged a private tour with a guide I know in Sint Maarten, and the other couple sent a message that husband was sick and they weren't coming. An hour later the wife says she is, so the price ended up being a little less than what it would have been for just us. (Turns out husband was hung over). But I think it's something all of us who coordinate tours worry about.
  12. Thought so, but didn't see you on the spreadsheet. Maybe we should meet for lunch or something.
  13. Other than the Espresso and fruit (neither of which we asked for) we got everything. Are you on the March 27 cruise?
  14. I know our Edge cruise, which had been moved to 2025 did drop by about the amount of tips, but not the OBC. And our 11 night 2025 cruise on Silhouette booked last week is almost 3K less than the 11 night 2024 cruise on the Apex booked before 10/3.
  15. Sorry this happened. Here are my two relevant experiences. In Falklands, I gathered my group in advance, and found out who was Elite. A little over half were. So I said that we'd go to elite and for tender purposes only, we were changing spouses, and paired up an elite with a non elite. (We did have a lot of laughs about it). That said, because we met outside of Michael's club and I was in a suite, the suite concierges just took all of us. We were about 14 people. Last year in Puerto Montt Chile, there was a group of people from online with about 45 people, as she had 2 24 passenger buses going. She said that she'd arranged with someone to get us on the first tender. We met at 6:45 near gust services. They told us to wait in a conference room, then the elevator area. At 8:15 we were still there. It was a hot mess, and our tour was shortened because of it. I think, if this comes up again, I'd get the tickets and if they weren't for a very early group, I'd go to the Elite area and ask, especially since you were a small group. Worst they say is no.
  16. We board in 2 weeks, so glad to hear it.
  17. Hmm, on my cruise the app just describes it, and it starts in 2 weeks. Maybe I'll look for it in the room.
  18. There's a Luminae breakfast menu? I've only seen the menu with egg dishes, bacon, etc. I thought it's the same one you get in concierge or above, but it's been quite a while since I've ordered in room breakfast.
  19. The buses are more like rental car shuttles, not true buses.
  20. You can do whichever you want I think. If you want to check your roll ons, you can, or you can take them. Really the only difference between BA and other ports is that you have to take a shuttle to the ship once you're checked in.
  21. My thought was just that since the cruiseline does cater to families, maybe Hairspray wasn't the best show. But I guess both Royal and one of their direct competitors like doing Broadway shows, so be it. It was surprisingly good, though.
  22. Thanks. We had a great time with you as well. I really hope to sail with you again, and yeah a photo would have been nice.
