Can you please also investigate if they have slimline Schweppes? I will. Schweppes is my backstop in Lerwick so I may well be drinking that. But I will check the onboard supplies for you. Obviously although my preference is fever tree if they have Schweppes onboard I won’t be heading to the Lerwick cooperative 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Azamarajunkie Posted July 16, 2022 #1527 Share Posted July 16, 2022 Currently on Journey, Schweppes Light and Canada Dry light tonic freely in use. Our fridge has been stocked well with Schweppes Tonic since we boarded 3 weeks ago by our able butler Angelo. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wonder if that Speciality Restaurant package will be available on Journey 🤔. Sounds like terrific value. Is there a service charge added? Delighted to hear your cruise is going so well. Hoping to embark J this day 3 weeks. 🤞😁 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lisiamc Posted July 16, 2022 #1533 Share Posted July 16, 2022 I should have added that if you want to buy a glass or a bottle of something a bit special that isn’t included, that’s possible too. We like the multi-night packages, they’re a good deal. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Host Jazzbeau Posted July 16, 2022 #1534 Share Posted July 16, 2022 Everyone on Onward please order a glass of tonic every chance you get. You don’t have to drink it, just use up the bloody supply! 1 18 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
harrodsfan Posted July 19, 2022 #1535 Share Posted July 19, 2022 Currently on the journey. Embarkation was a breeze. No lines.. just walked right on. However we came early. At 1:45. Even though our boarding cards said 3:00 lol! But we had a suite so that might have helped. We were in our room by 2:15. we did the video monitored abbots labs emed test btw. No issues with that. All they cared about was the date of the test. We printed out the results. Very few( but us) wearing masks. Very naive for this minute imho. I’ve had Covid recently but my husband didn’t get it from me. And we don’t want to spend time in quarantine! According to our friend with Covid that is traveling on the ship back to back she has to stay in the cabin for at least 6 days and maybe till she tests negative??? ( took me 14 days. And I had a mild case!) our suite 6003 is lovely. Nice steward and butler. They helped us sort out a few room issues. Like no drawer in the desk for makeup etc. they brought two extra side tables which helps a lot. Had room service dinner and breakfast. Lunch at the patio which is only open for lunch. will have dinner at windows tonight.. taste of China. food is good. we had a very nice cruise critic meeting yesterday with 12 attendees. Drinks and canapés were served and the assistant cruise director came to welcome us. Very nice group of people. the destination celebration is tonight. A Slovenian band in the cabaret lounge. We have decided not to go. Nor to the captains welcome party tomorrow, too many people without masks in a closed environment. Gorgeous day in Koper, Slovenia. Warm but not too bad. Charming little seaside town. let me know if you have questions! 5 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Beamafar Posted July 19, 2022 #1536 Share Posted July 19, 2022 Bit disappointed to hear that the Patio is only open for lunch. We’ll be on Journey in a little over 2 weeks’ time and were hoping it would be open in the evenings for dinner. Enjoy your cruise 😊 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is where Azamara's independence pays off. Celebrity has to coordinate with RCG, and they have a lot of ships sailing from US ports so they want to stay on CDC's good side [if there is such a thing...] 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Charming little seaside town. let me know if you have questions! Hi Harrodsfan, my son Chris and his new wife are on board with you now. He is on your roll call. Could you try and find out the hotel director (stand in) name? They're having a little issue with the promotions on his booking and needs to escalate this as he's getting nowhere with guest services. Many thanks. David Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the Patio is open for lunch then it’s not a Covid issue that it’s not open in the evenings. Perhaps it’s a staffing issue? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wish they would re-look at the whites on the Ultimate package, they are much, much duller far than the reds and one of the rose wines, which are actually pretty decent drops. Put it this way, if they are 'ultimate', I'm not sure how the included wines can be 'boutique' in any sense that I would understand. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Stem to Stern Posted July 20, 2022 #1548 Share Posted July 20, 2022 So sorry if these have already been asked. What brand is the included bottled water? What brand is the ginger ale? What brand is the ginger beer? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
