  1. Yes but since I had paid $$, they gave it back to me as OBC. But yes, it was dining credits.
  2. We did a B2B last month. The first week we could not get a reservation. My sons, in a different cabin, had free specialty dining and they were assigned to Sabatini's at midnight. Luckily, I had already prepaid. The 2nd week, we had no issues so we were able to book the Crown Grill and La Mer.
  3. I have it too and I had to pay. Like I said, some cruises it comes up with that option, but not all.
  4. If you have free specialty dining, you can go to passenger services onboard and they'll give you the amount back in OBC. On some cruises I can use OBC, some I cannot. Weird.
  5. I wouldn't pay that much. The dining part is right except there is just one special dish. You also get 2 small bottles of wine. Supposedly you get priority boarding but with the app, that seems to have fallen by the wayside.
  6. I called back and got a different person. 3rd call. I ended up getting the offer with everything in the email. I also sent an email to the casino about the lack of training. The woman who wouldn't give me the offer said she asked her supervisor. Either the supervisor was uninformed or the person on the phone was lying to me. They need to get their act together.
  7. I agree. I've eaten at Sabatini's on many a ship and I thought that it didn't measure up on the Discovery. Very disappointing. I will keep going on other ships though.
  8. I called for the 3rd time. Not only did this person get it right, she came in better on the price which could be from the cabin I chose. Anyway, the 2nd person I talked to needs better training. So all good now. Evidently if you want the phone answered sooner, call late on Friday.
  9. Got an email offer on 5/4 for free interior, $250 free play and Princess Plus. Called earlier today and was quoted an upgrade price. Needed to talk to hubby. Called back and was given a price quote $400 higher and didn't include Prncess Plus. She said it was a misprint It was an email that could have been corrected. My question...anyone else get this offer? Did it include Princess Plus? So frustrated.
  10. We cruised from 4/10-4/24. For the 1st leg we stayed in M106, a forward facing Mini suite and we loved it. We were able to use the balcony every day except the last. It was so quiet and peaceful. The mini's are smaller than other mini's, sort of squat, but the balcony and location made up for that. Our 2 boys were in M101 which is a deluxe balcony. Their balcony was a little bigger and more sheltered than ours. 2nd leg, we sent the boys home and moved to B429, a Club Class Mini. It had an angled balcony. which if sailing on a Royal class ship, I heartily recommend as the other balconys are so small. I thought the ship was beautiful, the crew friendly and hard working. I thought I would miss Vines more than I did. Ronny and Llada at Crooners were the best, Jhon our casino server was also the best. We did the drink exhibition a couple of times at Good Spirits, don't let Lew put in more than one pepper in the Yucatan drink. We didn't get a T-shirt but the experience was great fun. Go early, get a seat at the bar. Our first steward was great, the 2nd one not so much. First time that I haven't left an extra tip. Victor and Young Clyde were our waiters in Club Class...loved them. The tip we didn't leave for the steward, we split between them (in addition to what we were going to give already). We enjoyed Take 5, fun drinks and the music was so good. AJ at Crooners was fun but don't ask him to play Piano Man (I think he's really sick of it). We didn't do any shows in the theater or any game shows. We were planning on seeing Rock Opera the 2nd week but they didn't perform it. Dang. We had mixed results in the Casino, Black Jack was the most fun especially on a sea day during the day. I would guess about 25% of passengers wore masks. The first week we went to Mexico. I stayed on the ship in Cabo. I hate tendering and have been there a few times. In both Mazatlan and Puerto Vallarta, we took the boys to some of our favorite places including Freddy's Tucan on Basillo Badillo for breakfast. The second week was a California Coastal. We did the Sonoma tour out of San Francisco. There were only 13 people on the tour which was perfect. Went to 2 vineyards and had lunch in Sonoma. Went out for Mexican and had a Margarita to cleanse our palate. In both Santa Barbara and San Diego, we explored on our own. Santa Barbara we took the free bus to the Courthouse and walked back to the ship, stopping for wine tastings and lunch. In San Diego we took an Uber to Old Town and explored, once again stopping for wine tastings and lunch. There is a Churchill's cigar bar where one can sit outside and enjoy some good wines but you gotta like the smell of a good cigar (Which I do). Ensenada, we stayed on the ship again to work on my tan. It was fun to be on a new ship. It's our 2nd cruise since they started up again, there are things we miss from before but it was great to be there.
