  1. I use one pod per load. Works like a charm.
  2. Agree with other comments. I bring Tide pods rather than using the stuff from the machine.
  3. We did the eight-hour "golden circle" ship's tour out of Reykjavik a few years ago. It's still my favorite excursion, hands down. I pooh-poohed the power plant visit, but it was outstanding. Steam vents everywhere, and the building's architecture was awesome. And I loved walking between the two tectonic plates in Thingvellir National Park. Whatever you do, you'll enjoy Reykjavik.
  4. Just doublechecking. My TA can use my AARP gift cards to pay for my cruise? Thanks.
  5. At least for Chef's Table, which is an experiential dining option which I love, you can choose the non-alcohol option for a reduced price.
  6. Last August, Caribbean Princess had several Hermes bags, lowest price was $28,000. Crew said none of them had sold in over a year.
  7. Last year we sailed on Ruby out of Galveston. The bars had signs saying the restricted drink menu was due to Galveston regulations. Wrong. The state set the dumb rule. And they charge tax on alcohol purchased onboard, too, once you are back on shore.
  8. I have the new app but it doesn't show anything about "Shipmates".
  9. Somewhere I found an email address for this purpose, and received OBC for our two Cunard cruises this summer. The email I used was sb@cunard.com. I included the cruise info: Reservation #1: xxxxxxx, QE2, 6/xx/2024 Reservation #2: yyyyyyy, QE2 7/xx/2024 and attached scans of the stock broker's latest report.
  10. I was going to post the same advice. By booking directly we were in a half-full car while the ship's cars were packed with passengers.
  11. Thanks for posting the menus. We've booked our first Holland America cruise for September 2024 to Alaska, and we don't know what we don't know yet. I hope our menus are as good as yours appear to be!
  12. Coral, I can't thank you enough for your cruise schedule postings. I love getting a head's up on new cruises!
  13. Will there be a door between Club 6 and the new casino section? I can't tell from the photos. I'm a Skywalkers fan myself.
  14. Thank you SO much for posting this! One more off our bucket list!!!
  15. Thanks for the report. Our first HA cruise will be on Eurodam in September 2024 to Alaska. We'll be in a Neptune suite too. We usually sail on Princess which is also experiencing various upcharges, downgrades, etc. They're sad to see, but I do want cruise lines to survive. We're trying HA since we don't fly, and HA has some very long round-trip cruises we'd like to do.
  16. This is a big pet peeve of mine. Why change from Club Class to Reserve Collection? Idiotic. Club Class is easy to say and remember, while Reserve Collection is not. Princess needs a group of regular cruisers to give them feedback before they do anything else boneheaded. It seems Princess is trying to upgrade our experience with name changes, while we all notice cutbacks on board. Am I the only one to notice the flimsy toilet seats in cabins and public restrooms (spotted on Caribbean in August)? Lighter weight = less fuel needed, but I had one that came off frequently. Good grief.
  17. I've never heard of this. What is the AARP gift card option?
  18. We had six cruises on Ruby this year. Loved it!
  19. On disembarkation day, it often is quicker to take an elevator up, then stay on for the ride down.
  20. The most fun balcony dinner we had was in St. Thomas. While the waiters were away collecting even more food, it started raining so DH and I moved everything inside and grabbed hand towels for napkins. The waiters came back and were horrified, but DH and I were laughing so hard, they realized we weren't going to complain.
  21. In 2024/5 we'll be sailing on Majestic for Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Year's Eve. Now I really cannot wait!
  22. The crew members usually bring a table, then return it if you have one in your cabin or balcony. I feel like they would try their best to accomodate you.
