I've wondered the same...so if you get the package and you aren't drinking as much as you thought you would, or you get ill, etc., can you cancel and pay the normal rate for the drinks consumed? I would think they would allow that...

Scheduled to sail on June 1, and was able to reserve the show...

they're referring to the coffee you have to buy at Cafe Lattetude and Starbucks. You buy the Tazo tea too. Premium does not mean the coffee served in WJ or the dining rooms, it certainly isn't premium there!

Is that true? I thought Starbucks was not included...

In your opinion, how far down the hall can you have good views. We are 4 cabins down from the end, and assume we can see some of the show. Any thoughts?

Great deal. Thanksgiving week on NOS, family of 6 in an oceanview (cabin 8200) for $3800, taxes included. Now I think that's a good deal.

The staff does get a list of those that remove gratuities. They should have a concern over the food being served to them.

Really? That's the last thing I would expect...

Just talked to Customer Service because I had issues with booking Chicago for my upcoming June 1st cruise on Allure (although I could book everything else). when I try to book, it gives me a 'system unavailable' message. So I called Customer Service and was told they are contemplating shutting down the show, and they aren't opening it for reservations until they know what is happening. The said they may replace it, or just remove the show and not replace it with another show (which I find unlikely).

Has anyone heard anything on this? We will be disappointed if we don't get to see either this show or a "broadway" type show as a replacement.

I've read a lot about people with the drink packages that tip their bartenders above and beyond the standard tip that is included in the package.

Just curious, what do people consider a "good tip"? $1, $2, or more per drink? or do you choose to tip big at the beginning and end of the cruise, and not tip on individual drinks? Do you tip in cash? ...or do you choose not to tip at all?

Any idea if this new menu flows down to the dinner buffer in the Wind Jammer? I would think the entrees and deserts would be available in both locations...

Booking Family Ocean View 8500....any reviews?
