You’re not going to see Haiti go away anytime soon. That’s Royal’s private beach compound.

Cozumel. There are several - too many to list. Several to Tulum. One to Chichen Itza. In addition to the ones to the ruins, there are many others to the mainland to cenotes, shopping, etc.

They are still available on my sailing.

As am I for those folks who spend more on the DBP than I did for my whole cruise.

Also, does anyone know how much Celebrity charges for theirs? Just trying to gauge how far off it is from this.

I just booked one for our trip later in the year. I feel it's too good to be true, but why not get in on it in case it’s not. Like when they honored the $18 DBP. I hope it works the way it’s written because I only got one for the two of us. Anxiously awaiting hearing about the first person’s experience who uses it.

It wasn’t on our October Allure or December Mariner. We look forward to it, too.

If it truly IS Evian, I don’t mind as much. What ticked me off was when we bought the Spring Water package and they delivered Purified instead. Had we wanted purified, we would have just used the ship’s water. So, if they want to charge a premium price, they’d better be delivering premium water to my cabin.

They have updated the package to be 1 liter bottles instead of the smaller bottles. Whether or not that’s what you actually get onboard is something else entirely being that I ordered the “Spring Water” and got Niagara purified. 🤮

So, as a newly minted D+, I haven’t yet sailed with having to pick the amenity choice and I’m confused about something. If there are two D+ in the stateroom, only one can pick the toiletry bag, but the other can pick something else, right? But, if each choses a bottle of wine, two bottles of wine will be in the cabin? If so, can they be the same wine? Just checking so I can be prepared and make the phone call easy.

I don’t hate them based on the picture. I’d really like to know when they are gonna release the new D+ amenity choices.

We did the Tour on Freedom a few years ago. I don’t remember how much it cost, but I know it was under $100 each. For us, anything over $100 would not have been worth it. For reference, we are nerds who love to understand how things work and love behind the scenes stuff.

I thought it was just me who thought it tasted like that! 🤣

We did a mixology class way back in 2002 on the Sovereign. It was fantastic! Haven’t really seen many since. Hopefully, they’ll start adding them more frequently. The bartender remembered us the next night and basically continued the class. He wanted to open a bar back home so he was testing out recipe after recipe on us. Only got charged for one drink each at the end of the night. Those were the days…

Went on Mariner in December and received invites for both the Top Tier event and a Backstage Tour of the theater.

Are you offering to adopt us and pay for the trip because if so, I’m in! 🙃

It was Niagara on our recent Allure and Mariner trips. 🤮 It was worse than Dasani and Aquafina. I would have happily taken either one of those over the Niagara.

You don’t have to buy the Refreshment Package for her. You can order bottled water that is delivered to the room. Being a diabetic, she might not benefit much from a Refreshment Package. Current pricing on my cruises are $11.99 for a 12 pack and $16.99 for a 24 pack. Well worth the upcharge IMO for not having to lug it onboard myself. Water is also readily available all over the ship. You can ask for a glass of water at any bar and grab and go eateries usually have self serve water dispensers.

Thanks! I never thought to look through them. Have you used it? I was trying to read about the plans and the website keeps throwing me out to the beginning page. Just wondering if they are usually easy to work with…

They were referring to Chops + 1, which is currently showing as $83.99 in my Planner.

Who is you carrier? A lot of them have very reasonable costs in ports now. We have Verizon and it costs is $10 in most ports we visit for the day to use out voice and data that is on our current plan.

The one time we were lucky enough to sail in a full suite this past October, the food on the Barefoot buffet was IDENTICAL to that of the other buffets. I think it all depends on which ship and how that ship is run.

Kungaloosh! 🍸

The folks in those balcony rooms were getting a rare look at the backside of water. 😬

Sorry!!! Lol! Getting stuck in Nassau that long wasn’t much fun. And I wish we had gone to the East instead of Cozumel.
