  1. Just disembarked Silhouette this morning. Room service menu was changed in a big way in the last six months when I sailed Solstice to Alaska. New CC menu for breakfast is very limited with most prior offerings for an extra cost. Even the coffee no longer cane in a carafe but paper to go cups. Definitely a bummer since breakfast on the balcony is a main reason for cabin choice. If you are just looking for fruit, cereal, pastries, you'll be fine. No pancakes, hot items for "free" other than scrambled eggs that arrived cold. Other than that, enjoyed the cruise but was surprised at the big change recently to the breakfast room service.

     

     

     

    Really? We just got off two weeks ago and pancakes were on the menu, as well as omelettes, my husband got one two mornings. Bacon, sausage, etc. we’re all on there in the free items. Are you saying those are now for a fee?

  2. I am leaving on the Veendam on Dec 8th. Use the Contact Form on my website, describe the magnet you wish, and give me an address to send it.

     

     

     

    I sent it, but may have hit another button too quickly and cleared it. Will you let me know if you got it? Thanks, again!!

  4. Hi, everyone! We collect ship magnets on each ship we sail on. For some reason, we completely forgot on our Veendam sailing last fall! Is there anyone out there sailing on her soon that would be willing to help me out in getting one?

  5. We got a great offer, too, in late September. It had a whole PDF list attached. Some free insides, some for $99, some for $199 with Christmas sailings a bit more than that. We ended up booking an inside Panama Canal partial transit for $219 PP plus port fees! And we only put $60 on one of our cards, and played on that 3 separate times, cashing out $30 of it! I'm thinking they had so many cancellations due to the hurricanes that they really needed warm bodies in those cabins. We are thrilled, because we have always wanted to do this cruise, but it was always so expensive! Plus my mom, brother and SIL were already booked on this cruise!

  6. The cord is only for charging the speaker’s battery.

    Bluetooth is the ability to wirelessly connect electronic over short distances.

     

     

     

    So the jack that looks like a headphone jack doesn't do anything? Mine has the USB plug and another headphone jack looking thing at one end.

  7. Hi! I just got off the Dream and was able to get the Bluetooth speaker as my Platinum gift. I'm wondering if I got a dud, though, because I can't seem to make it work! And those instructions on the side of the box aren't helpful for me. (It's probably user error but I was hoping someone could educate me on this). I charged it, plugged it into my phone and went to my phone's Bluetooth setting. It's not locating it. It also says to "tap the bottom" to turn it on and I'll see a blue light? That is not happening, but I'm not sure I understand where I'm supposed to be tapping. Can someone help me? Thanks in advance!

  8. Can someone who has recently taken a taxi from the pier after a cruise to the airport please tell me how much it was? I can find the flat rate FROM the airport but not back to the airport. I have already found rates for Uber and the Carnival transfer, but can't believe how hard it is to find the taxi rate! Thanks!

  10. There is a store at the port called Los Cinco Soles ( I think it is spelled correctly) that sells the vanilla. It is an actual shop, not a stand that gets the sun. We purchased a 7 fl. oz bottle for about $14 or $15 USD and it does not have coumarin. hth.

     

     

     

    Same here. Those of you finding it for $2, be sure to look at the ingredients.
