We had a short one for the Wonder 3/31 sailing. Basic questions.

Facebook could care less about fakes or even active frauds/scams. Only bots check, humans are rarely involved. Sad, but no humans will likely ever know any of these issues ever existed (doubt they would care if they did). Truly maddening at times.

This one is a year out, but the casino owed me so this prime cruise will help us even up Anyone else cruising with us?

I hope that you all have a great time (we were both adopted, congrats on your growing family )

Hi - I’m wondering what you ended up doing. To be honest, we always hate this port, I have never been anywhere in the world with people as aggressive as we found in Jamaica. That said we find ourselves going back in about a year and trying to figure out if you had again, we’re going stay on the ship as we usually do. The Historic Falmouth and Ocho Rios Highlights tour doesn’t look bad, but 5.5 hours seems pretty long for a few stops.

Hope everyone is having a great time - I had to bail on this one, too close after surgery, but hope it will be a blast for you all!

I am so surprised that a post would be removed that suggested that it is unethical to share drinks with others from an unlimited drink packages. I thought that was just a basic truth. If I were going to find a problem with a post, I think I would take down the post suggesting that breaking the rules is acceptable behavior rather than the post stating that it isn’t. But hey, that’s just me.

Great find!

I haven’t been able to determine why only certain ones are allowed. But if it’s disallowed it will wipe out the title you’ve used immediately. So if you’re going to try new ones make sure to copy of the text before you chance it! I just went back and checked all the ones I’ve use of trips the last 5 years and these are additional ones to those above that are allowed: (I use this for the casino ), , ️, , , , , , , , ,

and @DixieNN Glad to be of help We tried pro, but the free version is a plenty for us. The pro version gives you notices on flights, but so do the airline apps so why pay? As you can see from my example, I hope, I add various emoticons/icons to the titles of events to separate out categories of activities/items. I use️️… etc. There may be 20 of them that will work and sadly I have no idea what distinguishes the ones at work and the ones that don’t. But I find it helpful to use one icon for all excursions, another for important notes, another for meals, etc.

Such good points! I have to wonder if @britinbrooklynrealizes that in setting things up as he has it will mean that the grandmother is the only one in the family who doesn’t get to eat at the coastal kitchen or go to the suites lounge or enjoy many of the other benefits that rest of the family has? I would think that could be a problem; if I were going on a cruise with my family and everyone else was in a star suite while I was stuck in an interior I am pretty sure I would have some seriously negative feelings about that (particularly if I was expected no babysit ). Maybe I missed something crucial somewhere in the story?

@smokeybanditand @KJonesmake a good point on the drink tipping - we drink very little and our D+ vouchers are far more than sufficient for our daily use (with plenty to spare ). So when we do drink, we are either using a voucher or getting a free drink in the suite’s lounge and that is why I said that we always tip for every drink (as there is no auto 18% gratuity). Thanks for pointing that out.

I personally would never withdraw my gratuities. That’s not fair, in my humble opinion, to all those people who get part of the tips that we usually do,not see in person. We do tip extra to the cabin steward and waiters at the end of the cruise. We also tip something with each drink and tip the concierges (Diamond Lounge/Suite lounge). I’m one of those who comes down kind of hard on the side of tipping because I think if you can afford a cruise then you can afford to tip the people working hard to make you happy. While I think that tipping in the US has gotten a bit out of hand, with cruise staff I have zero issue with paying gratuities.

Likely never. Way too much like a floating Disney World. We prefer a less crowded, more laid back vacay

We did okay with a 10:20 flight on a Miami cruise (similar distances involved) - we walked off the ship first and we had plenty of time (but we also had CLEAR and TSAprecheck. We had lots of extra time. But, cutting it that close is not our preference, that was an unusual situation. P.S. Getting the key or being in a suite will help ensure that you can be with the first group off.
