Would giving a gift card be appropriate? Something like Amazon? Amazon gift cards are for the US so I'm not sure if they bought something it could be shipped directly home without significant costs?

Anyone know what will happen to the grandfather if anything? That's a very careless act.

Okay didn't know that. Made a Mod or @Matt could delete this please?

Just watched this video. Very sad and disturbing. How can an adult be so reckless with a 1 year old and think it's okay to dangle her 11 stories off the side of a ship!? What could possibly posses anyone to do such a careless act!? Prayers to her mother and father now suffering the most painful loss anyone could have to endure.

Thank you @spiralqueen!

Anyone know where the popcorn is on the Allure?

Happy anniversary and birthday!! Enjoy the magical journey!!

The only real drawback to a birth certificate vs passport you can't leave a foriegn country with just a birth certificate. If you don't get kicked off the ship or miss the ship you'll be fine. If either happens then it'll rather expensive to get back.

Thank you Jane, hopefully when I can bid it'll be accepted quickly.

When is the cutoff for bids? Week before the embarkation?

Here's a link to a drink calculator that @Grenadyr made: I used it and decided that it's more cost effective to keep my refreshment package.

If you're phone has the option to turn off roaming connections you can do that as well. Then if for some reason your phone isn't in airplane mode you don't incur roaming charges in or near a port.

Thank you for the information. It's good to know that one doesn't have to have a drink package.

We're thinking the same!! So difficult to decide.

That's more than I'd imagined.

Okay, Thank you!

The lunch menu in CK does change the entire trip? What about breakfast? We have Sky class so we were thinking about having some breakfast and lunch in CK.

@Matt Thank you!!

That's what we are planning to do but after read @spiralqueen live blog and seeing some other blog pictures of CK we may just do CK. Just getting feedback from others to help us decide. Thanks for sharing.

Thank you. Makes sense.

Thank you for sharing @ScooterScott22 it's not a matter of affordability, it's what the majority think is better. This is our first time on RCI and while everyone has their own preferences for meals it does help us to decide what to do.

Anyone know when the last day to cancel a UDP is before the cruise?

@WAAAYTOOO would you mind saying why you don't eat at CK? You don't like the food or service? Thank you in advance.

Seems the customer's are the QA department. I've had to email them about web issues for my trip. Probably saves them a fortune because so many will just put up with the issues.

Thank you for the information, had no idea that internet was that bad. My carrier covers US/Canada for data so probably just use that in port. Lots to see and do besides staring at my electronics. Did you notice how low the water level was as seen by the white marks from where the water level was previously? That's what it looked like back in the late 80's at Lake Mead, NV. now the water level is extremely low. Just wondering how low the water level will go in Alaska?
