Had a sinus infection and bronchitis. Coughed my throat raw. Took 3 covid tests 4 days apart each, nope all negative. Sang two major Symphony concerts WITH MASKS, while sucking down my weight in cough meds & cough drops. Took 5 weeks to come close to well.

Sorry, but many are suffering much worse than partial loss of smell. So it’s just an inconvenience for you. But for my father-in-law who died from it and my mother-in-law who is now confined to a (very nice clean) nursing facility because she needs 24/7 care, it’s more than that. I do not disagree that we have to try to get back to some level of normalcy but the steps taken were, IMHO, out of an abundance of caution. Yes sometimes an over abundance but not just to inconvenience us.

Thanks for that correction. 😘

As you do not live in the same household, the other 2 guests could still cruise. You have a couple of options: 1. Make no changes and NO SHOW the positive guest. That person will receive a refund of all prepaid items plus port taxes and fees but NOT their cruise fare. If insurance was purchased, they MAY get a portion returned in the form of a Future Cruise Credit. 2. Cancel the positive person. They will receive a refund/FCC for their portion of the cruise price BUT the other 2 will have their fares repriced and likely increase. 3. Everyone cancel based on the positive test result & get a full refund.

Yes it is 10 cups NOT unlimited. If you are looking for all the espresso/coffee you can drink, you have to buy at least the Refreshment Package.

As others have said here, only the deluxe beverage package (the one with the alcohol!) has a requirement that all adults in a cabin purchase it and there are ways around that too. You are purchasing a card not a package and can share it as you choose. And you can also buy your son the soda package without having to purchase it for you or your husband.

Brother & nephew had flights day before our cruise booked. Weather related cancellations. 4 airports in a 300 mile radius, nothing available on any airline that would get them to the ship on time. ☹️☹️☹️

Coffee card will only get you coffee so not sure why you’d want it extended to kids who don’t drink it? My understanding is you can buy coffee with the card for anyone so you & your husband could share it.

My kids, now 37 & 32, received more than 1 rap on their coolies growing up. It was not corporal punishment just an attention getter. I didn’t hurt them. Just a firm hand on the fleshy part of their butts. More often than not, using their full given name was enough but when it wasnt, a quick rap stopped the behavior. Both are now fully functional adults.

Didn’t find it particularly interesting to watch & the drink went right in the trash. Gotta be a better use of that space.

Not sure why you’d want to wait til you board. Price doesn’t change & its much easier to prepay as a part of your cruise fare. Unless you don’t WANT to pay it 90 days before.

That is a fair point but I’m guessing they set the one drink per card at a time to cut down on package sharing. You’ll never stop it completely but they do try. As I said, if you get to know a bartender, rules can be bent:

Reminds me of the old universal Orlando commercial “If I have to hug another princess, I’m gonna hurl!” Hysterical
