I would be parked outside the spa complete with placards, giving a warning to all that pass by. Get my $300 value that way.

Here is a new one for me on HAL. just glancing at tomorrows Daily, there is a notice regarding Spanish vat. No other information offered. Such as, how do we know when we are in Spanish waters? Twelve nautical miles is hard to judge with the naked eye. What happens with HIA and other packages? Not complaining about the tax, but the lack of clarity.

It is working fine onboard!

I started with two Lychee Martinis from Tamarind. I have a threatening addiction to them. I had the crab cakes to start Ellen had a Romaine salad without anchovies and without quail egg, so I reckoned no one would want to see a picture of a leaf of lettuce 🫣 for mains I had the seared scallops. They were good. A good sear and nicely cooked. Ellen had the lamb chops, cooked to her requested temperature (scorchio or beyond well done). We shared a portion of mash potatoes and side of baby beets and blue cheese. for desert we shared sorbet and a creme brulee followed by tea, coffee and chocolates. It was an enjoyable meal but in no way would I consider it worth the listed upcharge of $49 + 18% each

Monogramming (is that a verb?) was offered, but modesty insisted that I decline. Actually it was DW who insisted I decline saying that I would look ridiculous answering the door to the mail person in a momgrammed robe. 🙄

There is a supply of water and ice available 24/7 in Lido. It is perfectly adequate to drink and I find it easier to drink than canned water. Most reports have stated that it is possible to bring water onboard at ports of call (though not at embarkation). I can attest to this too.

They may well do. I just bring water onboard from port days. Brought it yesterday in Gibraltar, and on two prior days in Spanish ports. 2 x 1.5 litres of natural spring water (Font Vella) cost €2.50 I have a screen grab somewhere listing some of the exclusios and inclusions, which i will try to locate. Today DW ordered a fresh orange & apple juice at gelato and we have been chared for it.

How far do you want to travel for good beaches? There are beaches in all three that you mention. Sea view in front of you and city view behind you. All are clean at the start of the day. Amenities? You are on a city beach, everything is available including shopping. playa la malagueta in Malaga Barcelonetta playa in Barcelona Personally, I wouldn't waste any of my time in these wonderfull cities by sitting on a beach.

Note that the package only includes specific waters. The "open water" 330 ml/12 fl oz of purified water in pull ring cans is included in the package. Other waters are not included.
