Just returned from the same cruise (my first ever). Read your blog and obviously not the same as my days but sounds like we all had a good time. Doubt i will make diamond but i will book again im sure.

It wasnt a dig its just a cultural thing. Its not common place in UK all the time. Certain occassions it is. Dont get me wrong im no tight $$$. There were many who queued on day 1 to cancel them completely. But i certainly didnt consider putting any more in envelopes on my last day

I sailed out of Barcelona. I found the food in the MDR to be a standard menu that i would class as slightly american. Windjammer - that was a mix of all kinds. Variety i couldnt fault really

Thanks for all your help it managed to get me through my first cruise without incident. Im from England so here is my findings of the cruise: Main dining room - brilliant place, service excellent, food excellent. Windjamer - was ok. Service isnt as good and food is warm. Speciality restraunts - i went Sabor and couldnt fault anything about it. Bars - variety of drinks were fine and plwntynof bars that cater for most people. Pools & sunbeds - lots of them and enough to go around. Gratuities - i paid them each day as they charged my card but i dont understand it. Its an american thing. One guy at a bar once was getting superb service and tipping $1 each time. I suspect that he had cancelled his and then flashed them around like Rockerfella. Overall great experience. Any questions from a first timer dont hesitate to ask

I got an email sayibg check in at Terminal B at 3pm on my arrival day but the app and other documents say from 12 and room ready at 1. When can i check in?

What plugs fit the sockets

Do the rooms come with an iron?

My drinks package was included. Will i end up paying the 18% of each drink i order? Ive read its 14.50 each day is that correct

I havent paid mine as i didnt understand it but someone at work informs me they just give me a bill at the end I have a drinks package so how can they make me pay? What is this bill i will get at the end???

Last question on this. If i dont book My time dining can i still eat in the Main dining room or will it be full up? Can you just turn up?

Will I get a copy of my cruise compass when I check in?

Is it like all inclusive or Full Board. I have a drinks package which was included and I think I understand how that works now. Something to do with a $12 limit. As you can have I've never been on a cruise before. I have also booked stuff that doesn't show on the app yet

Thanks that's very helpful for me. Makes sense now. I have so many questions. It's hard to understand everything.

All I am due to travel on Oasis next week and cannot wait. When I book my time Dining what am I booking and where am I eating? I've just got the app and it states Silks, Grande & American Icon are all Main Dining. I'm confused. How many eateries are included in the price of the cruise?

Hi My app doesn't show all my reservations but when I log in online I can see them all but the website is so slow. When on the ship is it easy to book stuff through a tv screen I believe TIA.
