    One last suggestion our laundry tour guide offered - do not cut off tags on your clothes!
    They actually read those tags so they know how to launder, press or stream them.

    Steaming is simply blowing hot steam through a garment as illustrated in this photo.  Note t-shirt being steamed.  Clothing is placed onto blue apparatus and hot steam then blows from inside the blue thing and through the garment.  It takes about 15 seconds.
    In the far right you can see a crew member's head as he operates a pressing machine.  Clothes are laid on it, press is closed to complete the job.  For pants and shirts a crease is created that you won't get when steaming.

    Women don't need to talk or text.  They communicate with each other at a level us guys will never understand.  Even a bot can't decode it.

    Mine are not chronological.  When I 1st logged in back one day 1 of the new website it only had 2 of my cruises, the next two.  I added all the rest manually.  They all got inserted in between my next and the one after that.  
    Next is #1
    4th next is #2
    5th next is #3
    Even my 2019 cruises are before my 2nd and 3rd next cruises which are at the bottom of the list.
    3rd next is #10
    2nd next is #11

    twangster got a reaction from Dennis M in MTD reserved time, but late   
    Welcome to the message boards!
    Since you are assigned to the My Time MDR, your reservation is a +/- 15 minute window. 
    When you visit the My Time MDR there are 2 lines, one for those with reservations and a separate line for MTD guests that don't have a reservation.  If you are within your +/- 15 minute window go into the line for guests with reservations.  If you are outside of the reservation window, simply go into the line for guests without reservations.
    You can change your MTD reservations once on the ship for any night.  If possible, when you know you won't make a reservation you can call them or visit to cancel it for that night then show up when you can and use the "no reservation" line. 
    Cancelling a reservation is not required but appreciated since they try to sit you at the same table when possible and keeping a table waiting for you when you know you won't use it delays someone else from being to use that table.

    I cruised on Enchantment last week and it was basically the same, although I didn't check every possible screen if I didn't want whatever it was.

    Rumor is that things may change with the drink package and CocoCay.
    @mpoole3 asked Royal the question.  The answer is ambiguous.

    The problem is people keep paying it.  Until sales drop off, prices will increase.  Basic economics, supply and demand pricing. 
    That's why Vision class ships are often available at better (same as old) prices.
    The problem occurs when a company gets used to higher revenues and can't sustain themselves through a sudden or unexpected drop in demand.  Last year they worked through the $55M loss from the hurricanes and prices did drop when demand dropped but the market came back pretty quickly and so did prices.
    I used to try to counter people in other forums who complained about a cruise line.  Now I let them rant.  Maybe they'll dissuade people from booking which means lower prices for me. 
    So yeah, avoid CocoCay.  Don't book any cruises that go there.      
    I foresee lots of combo packages.  Zip line and Jet ski, zip line and balloon, Slide and wave pool, etc.  Currently I'm thinking there will be lots of à la carte pricing. 
    I'm not even sure we'll see a day pass for the whole place.  Labadee has never used that price model.
    My SWAG - zip line introductory price of $49.95, will increase in 2020 upwards to $75.
