Correct, they were charged as two drinks. My point was that they never questioned the ask for a double or made the drink an up-charge. I will say, that they were not consistent with what was charged at different bars but the cost was never above the $11 per drink (2@$11 equals a $22 tab). For what it’s worth, I still don’t understand why they print a check and have you sign it if you have a drink package.

Agree. When we were on Eurodam last month I ordered double Dewars each evening with no up charge.

Let’s roll!

On the Eurodam as well. And yes, the bar service is lacking. Understaffed and when there is wait staff they seem to look right through you as if you weren’t there. Bartenders are not much better. We had the same issue back in ‘22 in Alaska. I chalked it up to ramping up after the pandemic. Perhaps I was wrong. What is even more troubling is that we received the Daily for tomorrow. No NFL conference championship games are listed. We were told they are only available in our room. Really? Say it isn’t so.

I believe sail away is 3pm. We will be onboard as well.

Last year we watched the conference championship games on the Solstice. They were in the rooms and also on the big screen on the Lawn. The crew set up extra canvas chairs. It was rather cold that day so they also had blankets available. I believe the game was also shown in the Club.

Go Chiefs. It’s currently zero degrees here in Kansas City headed for a low of minus twelve tonight 🥶. We join you on the 24th. DW started packing today. Looking forward to warmer weather.

We got the same offer for our upcoming January 2024 cruise with a PIF date 10/26/2023. Offer says the $100 OBC is available if we pay by 10/31/23. No brainer for us. Just picked up a $100 OBC for paying on time. We also have another cruise booked in September 2024 but did not receive the same offer on that cruise. We would have passed on that offer.

Yes, Port Everglades to FLL

Nor did the April 15th sailing on Apex.

Thanks to all for the response. We will have to see how it works out once on board. Worse case is the two of us will have to carry two cards.

We are boarding the Apex on April 15th and have two Aqua Class cabins booked. One for my wife and I, and one for out two young adult children, brother and sister. My wife feels it would be more comfortable for the kids if she rooms with our daughter and I room with our son. I called our TA and asked her to make the change but she is reluctant due to a possible mistake being made with the bookings that would affect our promos and pricing. She split the beds in each room to singles and suggested we go to Guest Services and get duplicate room cards for those switching rooms. Seems simple enough but the Edge class ships have room feature controls tied to the app. In addition, carrying two cards would be a pain. Does anyone have experience with making this change once onboard? Can Guest Services simply move me and my daughter to the different cabins so we just have to carry one card and with the changes to the app as well? TIA.

I would ask if you don’t see them. We were on the Solstice for the January 28th cruise. They had a football watch party up on the lawn on Sunday. It was cool and they provided blankets. Lots of them. We didn’t see any out the rest of the week. It was cool going back and forth to Mexico.

There are two regular U.S. type outlets and one European outlet. All three are by the desk.

We were at the port last Saturday as well. We booked the ships shuttle service for $35 per person. Well worth it. Walked off the ship at 8am. Collected our bags and boarded the bus just outside baggage claim. We arrived at LAX about 8:45am.
