I'm doing the Frankfurt to Amsterdam. It's great to hear that I can bring on my own wine.

I have absolutely never heard of not being able to pay for extras. they are literally a la carte restaurants.

The rate has to be available . Oftentimes the intro rate isn't there.

Having to wait for a table doesn't entitle you to money . Restaurants scatter reservations so as not to overwhelm staff and kitchens . Waiting 15 minutes on a cruise vacation ? What a trauma ?😝

Ive had no problem using trip advisor . They used to not be resellers so I've used them for decades. However, I do like to find the company and book directly if possible.

I guess you found no info. How was your cruise?

Thank you. I wasn't going to waste my breathe arguing. A friend does staffing for another line and talked about the frustrations.

The 2 tops are all in a row less than a foot apart .

Was the hiking easy to do on your own ? Well marked trails?

Ha it's the nap that did me inn. I did Test Kitchen at 630 with the cocktail pairing. Came back to room and changed into my party pajamas around 9 . Pajamas and drinks ... nite nite .🤣

It was super easy to change reservations. There were some group dining nights set up .

Seems great to me. It's just something new . I hated all the work of Oasis class when they first started with reservations. But that quickly became the norm . I do specialty dining on most nights on all cruises so I'm used to reservations.

Perhaps so . The problem with staffing is related to immigration issues from Covid . There was a halt on many types of work visas. It takes a while to catch up on hiring and training . Having to wait 15 minutes does not mean they're not staffed enough in my opinion though . It isn't necessary to have every table in use at all times.

I was solo and had a great table at Gunbae but as you said the tables are close . I got blind sided with politics in The Wake . It was super awkward . I rambled ơn about the weather to change the subject.😀

Good tip . I had no idea there were early pop up shows . I'll look on my upcoming trip .

The line was longest on Scarlet Night for The Wake and people were dressed very nicely on my cruise . I saw no shorts and tshirts in The Wake . But agree that you could eat anywhere. I loved Gunbae also and it was very fun . Test Kitchen are small plates . I ate there on the first night and ate right after sail away.

I booked on points and added a sailor 3 days before.

You understand that they're not fully staffed right ? A server can't handle 25 tables, they must have crew. All of the cruise lines are running short . it seems all your difficulties are bc you booked nothing in advance. The app is not perfect but works just fine . It sends updates when times change . Perhaps you need to delete and reinstall it . Make sure you're not in low power mode.

I watched your video , the tea does look really nice .

Are you doing the 80s cruise?

Thanks Megan for posting. You gave so much great information. And you definitely can drink some sparkling.😃

2 weeks ago .But it means you keep saying how much cheaper Carnival is over and over.

Not every cruise line is for everyone. If its not your price point, so be it. But no need to be on about it. I like to look at Regent but haven't ever paid it yet but also don't keep saying its too expensive.

Whats in that Ron Meets Don?

That looks great. How much was the shot 4 shot class and did you book it right away?
