Hi @Sabrinaklai Our 'real plan' is take on the 6 bottles we are allowed and then purchase the odd bottle whenever required. Or a beer or short etc. She is not a big big drinker so can't justify the deluxe package (and me having to prove I don't drink too!) so we are both doing refreshment packages. Based on the pics Twangster posted there are not enough days in the year to try every soft drink option! Annoying thing is we can take on 2 bottles for a 3 day cruise as well as 2 for the 10 and 14 day ones! I am not sure she can make them last 10 or 14 days!! Maybe I need to find a couple or family who are getting on same time without wine and get them to be my wine mule!!

Maybe she should just stop drinking!!! Solves everything!!! (Don't tell her I said that!)

Every cruiser should be able to take @twangster with them in their carry on.....it should be mandatory especially for 1st timers like me!! I do like your Plan 2!! Now that is thinking outside the box!!

3 B2B cruises, 2 people, 1 non-drinker - so been giving this some thought! And all of this planning for my wife who likes a nice red wine and nothing in it for me as the token teetotal person on the ship! Maybe I am risking walking the plank?! Plan 1 = we go on together with the 6 bottles in total, they take 4 off us and give us 2 per cruise (i.e. stick to the 'the rules') Plan 2= we go with plan 1 BUT on the change over days we try to take another 2 on with us when we get back on the ship hoping somehow too busy to check we already have 2 in store for us - do they have itemised records of what we brought on 10 days earlier? @twangster @Matt @Sabrinaklai you may know?! Plan 3 = If plan 2 works we try the same again 3 days later when getting on for the 3rd and final leg of the 27 day adventure - by now my wife should be sleeping like a baby every night! Plan 4 = we split up on embarkation carrying 6 bottles each (2 per cruise) hoping they don't notice!!! Hmmmmm somehow think not!

Maybe I am missing something here and as a teetotal person I am obviously no expert on wine BUT if a bottle is a screw-top how can corkage be charged?!! Not a cork in sight!

Very happy if the Dr is now on board Ovation ahead of my March cruise.... good work @twangster

Hi@JBC1 Tell him or her it is a good time to quit!!! Can't find the article I saw before (so may have dreamt it!) but I THINK an area back of deck 5 starboard, similar on deck 15 or 16? Saw this in CC https://boards.cruisecritic.co.uk/showthread.php?t=2567297 but that is not overly helpful. @F1guynz is the man in the know for Ovation!!

Full house - congrats @Matt !

My Ovation cruise is about 60 days but only thing showing is Pixels!!! Hoping they add more and not just wait until we are on board...

I thought it was only me cancelling and re-booking to save the odd penny/cent!!! Glad I am not alone!!

That seems to be a quote from experience!!! On a plus side I find a I never lose an argument when it is just me!

Need somebody to select a currently uselected reaction on Matt's post so he can get a full house. I did sad only because some others were taken!

Maybe the steward has access to a remote? He/she can only say yes or no! Thanks all.

Hello experts Only 63 days, 18 hours and 48 minutes until my first cruise (not that I am counting - there is another thread this comment may be more suitable to!) Question regarding the TV in the cabin - can I connect a HDMI cable to run my ipad or PC through the screen if I am streaming something on Voom? Thanks Barrie
