  1. If we see this in the patter we avoid the area. One time listening to puppies crying and whimpering was enough. They often bring on board very young puppies who are not accustomed to the screaming kids etc. I believe this is close to animal abuse
  2. For us sharing one meal at Vines is a great option for dinner. It is a larger charcuterie plate than I get here Olympia Provisions and 6 truffles is really over the top. We have been known to give some away
  3. Sold out is a relative term as far out as you are. Basically they are not taking new bookings and are probably figuring out where to put the guarantee folks. They probably will also have some cabins returned from travel agents
  4. Isn’t that date coming up in 2 days ? Or do you have the wrong month
  5. I had thought that if you had a bigger payout on say lucky ladies that that would be the same. I know that we had a couple of large slot payouts and just filed taxes and it did file under slots
  6. Any single bet where the winnings are over $1,200 need to be reported for tax purposes. There should have been no problem bringing cash back unless it is over $10,000. They probably couldn’t believe you didn’t buy something with a portion of it and didn’t declare it
  7. That’s nice we sail on the 14th and it doesn’t look like ours have even been mailed
  8. If you let one thing go then how do you draw a line. Can you imagine an Israeli flag next door to a Gaza flag. ? I can just see some people arguing why us and nor them.
  9. There is not. Plus and premier packages waive any room service charges unless you are talking about a beverage only package
  10. Ships insurance will not cover medical as far as I know
  11. The treatment would not be free. I tipped and fell breaking 3 ribs. The next day had X-rays paid on my folio and got reimbursed. Travel insurance does not cover medical at least mine doesn’t I was back at lunch same day broken ribs do not mean staying in cabin and even if it did it is not an interruption. I have been quarantined for Covid twice and you get room service for food and booze but you don’t get reimbursement you are still on a cruise
  12. At lunch nothing to worry about I usually show up in jeans and a t shirt for breakfast and lunch. Slacks and button down shirts are reserved for dinner and many times I still wear jeans at dinner
  13. The poorly lit portion would have no chance of any lawsuit or else everyone who had tripped waking up stairs in a movie thatre coming back from the bathroom wood be rich. In my opinion most of the so called maritime lawyer are ambulance chasers just looking to make a buck
  14. Check for other ships with similar itineraries. The Coral is similar but without all the added cabins
  15. What ship and itinerary has more than 5 formal nights ?
  16. Poor taste is a very subjective idea. I also think they are concerned about political issues
  17. I have made many a trip to medical over the years and have always gotten reimbursed by my medical coverage once I got home just make sure you keep records. For those with Medicare review your coverage as some plans may not reimburse. I have a Kaiser Medicare Advantage plan and have always been able to get reimbursed
  18. Just figured that out we are on the Ruby Hoping that sailing from Canada and less passengers will help but it is sold out and I do know some of the other passengers are like me with over 500 days
  19. From which port ? We are on a smaller ship sailing from Vancouver. I know that almost all cruises out of SF and LA have lots of folks like us with over 500 days
  20. Wow that is so different from what we experience on Grand or Royal class ships. We have never waited more tha 2 minutes for a table. The menu has always been exactly the same as MDR and the extra entree was announced verbally to us when we got our menus. I guess this is one more reason you will never see me on the Sun
  21. We have a 15 day cruise next year that does to ports that Princess never goes to like Seward and Wrangell. I am assuming they are not going to publish one just for that trip. We have done inland passage and voyage of glaciers many times
  22. The Alaska 7 day cruises have a pretty low threshold maybe 200-300 days. Last summer we were in the top 10 with 470 days. Sailing Hawaii next month with 500+ days just crossing fingers
  23. I use it for wordle and connection games at breakfast. No problem doing banking, new feeds etc
