i always check in on the website. I never bother with pictures. 

Thanks for that info. 

Sorry, posted on wrong board. I was reading a live from Edge (I believe) in Aus/NZ where the person mentioned the up charge for Elegance chardonnay. 

I just looked at the premium pkg. about 2 weeks ago and at that time Elegance Chard was included, but the Elegance Cab was $19. This was also true on EQ in Feb. Now the chardonnay is ALSO an up charge? 

Yes, from room service. No charge for "continental" breakfast items. 

Not in a suite this time, but picture is what I was hoping for. I know on older ships that is not the case.

Always been that for the last 3 or 4 years that we have been in Retreat. Yes, limited but tasty menu on Retreat Sun Deck every day. 

Is  there an outlet in the bathrooms that will support a hair dryer? I know there is none on other class ships. 

Mer Soleil is no longer covered in the Premium package. It is $19 per glass. 

I'm looking at cruises from this Sept. thru' next May and none of my cruises are showing the Loyalty Discounts. Am I doing something wrong?

Where is the CC desk located and the concierge desk for concierge cabins, please? 

I understand that the CC HH in a certain lounge or area is now back on most ships for a few times per cruise. Where is this being held on Beyond, please? 

Luminae staff will do all they can to make you happy. I agree many of the vegetarian dishes are very good. I love the butternut kale lasagna! We always ask for extra green vegetables, just whatever is available that evening. We too have asked about getting Indian food and have been served some very nice Indian dishes. . If you wish a simple green salad for dinner, just ask even tho' it is not on the menu.  

I understand from many prior entries here about E-class dining, that all 4 dining rooms operate on come as you wish basis. No reservations required. 

The earliest posted check in time at Ft. Lauderdale used to be 11. I believe now it is 11:30. You can obviously arrive earlier and wait. Boarding has started about 11:15 on our last 3 or 4 cruises. 

Corkage fee only once. They can store the wine for you. in the dining room for the next night. I believe you can open the bottles in your cabin and carry a glass into the dining room to avoid the corkage fee altogether. 

Does anyone know about noise in this cabin, please?

I believe OVC is open for pastries and fruit at 7 AM. What time does the egg cooking station(s) open, please? E class particularly. 

Most regular cocktails/mixed drinks will be made with "well" liquor and be $10 or less. This is such as bloody mary, gin and tonic , rum and coke, margarita, vodka collins, old fashioned, etc.  

Where are these located on Beyond, please? And at what time before the show are they released to all cabins, if any left?

We never load photos. Easier to just let them take at check in.. Maybe 15 seconds?

No 25% off mine either. Beyond April and May, Sept. and Oct. 

Do you know what time the OVC egg cooking station opens in the AM? I believe OVC opens for fruit and pastries at 7 AM. 

Decoy was added back to the Premium package in late Jan. It was only above the Premium for a couple or three weeks. Price went down the third or fourth day of our late Jan. cruise. It was fleet wide. 

Thx, Stella.
