I don't think you are convincing any people in the $2 camp to change their ways lol... Prob make them want to do it even more. Different method... Hey guys/gals if you really want to feel special, just give $5 bills... Not only is it more common and easy to use, the staff would prob love you even more!

Yes if your cell phone lets you hotspot a Wi-Fi source. Not all phones can do this so try it at home. Also hotspoting and travel routers only work in your room... (Or very short range due to the metal structure of the ship) Don't expect it to be accessible around the ship. But it's great if you don't want to keep switching devices in the room at night. Also if you plan on using lots of bandwidth eg streaming video on multiple devices I would still get multiple voom devices so you get more bandwidth.

If you want to stretch out 4 days of free internet on a 7 night cruise if you're diamond+ as a couple. Any shorter cruise and it's even easier. Day 1 - start at 6pm Day 2 - ends at 6pm Day 3 - start at noon Day 4 - end at noon Day 4 - start at 6pm Day 5 - end at 6pm Day 5 - start at 9pm Day 6 - end at 9pm Day 7 - back home and turn on cell service

your wording has me concerned. Best wishes!

Rgr I think that's all we are saying. $2 bills are uncommon. Chances are high if I go to any bank I can get a stack of 1, 5, 10, 20, 50, 100 bills. $2 bills chances are high it's the reverse. You do you. Be unique and give $2 bills. I am sure some find it fun to receive but I would bet more than 50% of service staff who are used to getting tips prefer easier to use money.

Ok I didn't think I had to explain this but by special order... I meant "order" since the teller couldn't just hand me the bills (only asked for 50 for $100) right there and then like they could with singles, fives, 20s, 50s, 100s unless you were withdrawing a huge amount! It's like inventory in a store, people will keep inventory of things that get requested often otherwise it's just wasting space. I only tried to get a stack of $2 once and it's not like she said no... She was like we would have to order it and you would need to come back... Lol

They probably knew you were coming? That guy/girl is here again... Someone go grab the $2s. Are you seriously thinking every bank does this? I am ok with you using $2.. that's all you but don't try to make it sound like it's normal lol.

Lol I want whatever bank that gives that interest! That's better than stocks and anything else at the moment. $50 return in 14 days from $89?

Figured it would get cancelled since it was an obvious mistake so $50 onboard credit for what I figured would be nothing isn't bad in my book... Shrug. I can see it being more annoying if people actually called in and wasted a bunch of time though.

Just got the same... Lol easy money!

I think you get the point... If you have to special order them, then they aren't normal bills the bank keeps around and by definition more annoying to change and use.

So the moral of this story is since you were forced to use unpopular currency, you will force unpopular currency on others? Come on bro... 😂 I am not saying I wouldn't use $2 bills if I had them since they are legal currency but I def wouldn't go out of my way to get them to give out. I think I tried once at my local bank in NJ and they said I had to special order then like foreign currency lol.

Anti - (selfless?) stop being annoying and just use common denominations... Like everyone else Pro - (selfish?) I do what I want and two dollars are easier to carry... You can't stop me! Answer to OP: yes $2 is appreciated since it's better than $0 (period)

Use that every cruise. Works great!

I was literally in the main pool on cococay with my towel and backpack on chair and had a young couple take my chair (only left the chair for 5 min to take a dip). So I would say it depends on how busy it is by the pool. I've never had a problem like that with loungers any where else. Just the pool area.

Usually 24/7 at Cafe promenade as well

I started with a wetsuit jacket then shorty wetsuit then to a full wetsuit... Learn from my mistake and just buy the full (doesn't have to be fancy since you aren't diving in it). If it's not cold enough for a wetsuit just a waterproof windbreaker is all you need. If it's cold enough for wetsuit you'll be happier with a full. The windbreaker will also work on top of the full wetsuit when it's windy. This was definitely needed for Canada cruises where temp stayed at 50s with wind at night.

I've thought the same but would prob just make the lines worse... Lol Heat lamps over the benches would be nice though.

For boogie yes.. for stand up no.

Paid activities for flowrider, North Star, ifly just showed up on my Dec 4 anthem sailing so yes... Assuming the free sessions still need to be reserved day of on port days.

Looks like I am able to book spectra on anthem Dec 4 but not on Nov 6. Yippee! (Mild sarcasm).

Shrug then maybe new windjammer management shaking things up? You can ask about it? That fresh cookie station was both awesome and bad in my opinion. Bad since you had to grab cookies every time you left lol.

When I was on anthem last Nov and Dec 2021 they had a girl there baking fresh cookies every day... When I went back on anthem this past March that fresh cookie station along with the staff were gone... Assuming they moved people around due to staffing and going back to full capacity? It's hard to beat fresh out of the oven ranger cookies if you like coconut.

Yes to both. If your phone lets you hotspot a Wi-Fi source like my pixel. I haven't done the phone hotspot on ship since hotspotting tends to heat up phone and drain battery but travel router worked great when in room. I'd say it worked even better than just connecting directly since it boosts the signal if the source is weak. Travel router did a better job with the weak voom connection.

No you would get 14 added to the total. The other person prob booked during the double points promo which ended sep 30 2021 (book by). That's why they got 28. When your accounts are linked only the highest point of either person is used Eg. H - 70 + 14 W - 80 + 14 Since W has 94 you both are considered at 94.
