The time to complete is so short because they obviously don't think cruisers are smart enough to remember more than a few days after the cruise ends.

I always answer the question about whether there were requests for positive ratings honestly ("yes") and then on the next question I am forthright - "I was asked by multiple people for a positive survey rating." If all the requests came from dining room staff, I may or may not mention that (depending on how my day is going when I completed the survey). I have never given an individual name.
You definitely do not want to call out an individual unless the intent is to have them reprimanded (or worse).

On my last cruise my waiter purposely told me he was not going to tell me about the survey with a wink as he knew I was a seasoned cruiser. 
He got a very good tip at the end of the cruise.

She's baaaaack
 

Our first cruise was on Song of America. Small enough to dock in St. George's, Bermuda as well as in downtown Hamilton before the development of King's Wharf.

Cross more than two county lines and it's virtually impossible unless the purveyor is a native of the region AND has access to just the right ingredients.

I have to wait an extra EIGHT MINUTES to get my next adult beverage!?! How can I possibly survive THAT!?!

Sadly, there ARE still bubbles.

Be careful about referencing "Carolina" style barbecue. Within North Carolina alone there are three distinct styles - Eastern vinegar style, Western mustard-based (similar to upstate South Carolina), and the good stuff - Lexington-style.
I agree that Texas is best for brisket and Memphis is the way to go for beef bribs.
And please, please, please do not EVER refer to grilling burgers and dogs as a "barbecue."

We have found that usually (but not always), whichever individual is listed as the primary on the account can see all spending but the other can only see their own. There is no rhyme or reason to which person is listed as primary on the account. It's not always the order you're on the reservation; it's not always the name on the credit card associated with the account; it definitely isn't based on which person accessed the account first in the app (that would always be me).
The only way to guarantee others not seeing what you spend is to have a separate card for each passenger.

I mean, they clearly weigh 78.55 lbs.

Lots of Indian chefs. If you're adventurous, pick a night that the general MDR menu doesn't strike your fancy and ask the night before to have the chef prepare his favorite Indian dish - no holds barred.

As an American, I can aver that none of the "traditional American" foods as served onboard cruise ships is anywhere close to authentic.

Based on the thread about Icon pool being frequently closed, you missed a real opportunity here.
Should have asked "anyone got the poop?"

"Only" $190 for my wife and two friends in a suite, but that covers the cost of one of the excursions they purchased.
