  1. They also show movies on the pool deck.
  2. Happened to my son. He should have been platinum and I kept getting mailers listing him as gold. I emailed C&A and it was fixed about a week later.
  3. OP if you look at the very first thread at the top of the RC board, there is a visual tutorial on how to grab check in times on the app without entering all the other information first.
  4. Sea bands did not work for me or my daughter.
  5. How much is your package? My math has always come out to 5 drinks per day @ $15 per drink. Don’t think I’ve ever paid more than $75 per day.
  6. On our last cruise on Explorer, there appeared to be some issue with facial recognition for the previous sailing. We watched from the suites boarding lounge as passengers got off in dribs and drabs til well after noon! We were not able to board until after 1pm. Nobody made even an early afternoon flight that day!
  7. Getting an uber at POM was such a nightmare on our last cruise, I’ve sworn off Miami cruises.
  8. For the crew members who make your coffee. Not sure why this seems to be a surprise.
  9. Jet Blue did me a solid & moved my FLL return flight from 10am to 1pm. I love a leisurely MDR breakfast before disembarking!
  10. Or you could just get small bills at the casino or guest services and only carry what you might need for the day OR add a tip on your voucher receipt.
  11. A person unfamiliar with the process might have been mislead by your original post that you bought the DBP for yourself only. The extra details you then posted are important to understand. You can’t just buy a single DBP.
  12. Yes when I made the original reservations, earliest time was 6:45 (we chose 7:30 at that time including day 1). Now MTD is listed 7:30-9:30 each night & I cannot make any reservations at all.
  13. We have MTD reservations for my family cruise in November and have been trying to add 2 more people for a week now. No luck for ANY day. “We’re stuffed!”. I find this pretty unlikely for a cruise 5 months out. CP won’t even let me change the day of the request, defaulting to day 1 only. I can try each day on the app but the results are the same. FWIW we are also on Allure & MTD starts at 7:30 every night. 🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️
  14. Yes, however we did not stop there.
  15. Yes, we docked first at Kings Wharf then moved to Hamilton 2 days later. We loved Bermuda.
  16. May 2002, New York to Bermuda also our first cruise. Rained/stormed all the way down. My poor daughter didn’t leave the room until we docked in Bermuda! Better trip back.
  17. This is our go to hotel in the area. Have a precruise night booked in November which will be our 4th stay. Very walkable. If you are looking to purchase wine for the cruise, go right out of the hotel. Cross the busy intersection (easy to do) and enter the shopping area. On your left will be a nice grocery store with, for me, a good selection and on the right a BJ’s. You can enter to purchase wine without a membership. Going left out of the hotel leads to a nice shopping area with several good restaurants.
  18. Sorry, we always fly ☹️
  19. My only regret was that we couldn’t get more in our suitcases!!
  20. We’ve found the port shops & stores in the area have much better prices. St Maarten has the best we’ve ever seen. Large bottle of Baileys on board 2/$60, port shop 2/$40, local store 2/$30!!
  21. I don’t know any restaurant anywhere that seats you immediately whenever you show up. MTD does let you eat at different times every night. I think that was, and is, the original idea. Get in line with everyone else who’s chosen that time and you’ll be seated asap. If you choose a popular time, the wait may be long. I wish you could choose any of the 3 dining rooms.
  22. Yes “call ahead” seating would be an improvement but, absent that, it works like any other land based restaurant. If you don’t have a reservation, you wait in line.
