How Much Independence is Too Much? (with a Radiance prelude)
SweetPea replied to AshleyDillo's topic in Live Blogs
Ok I'm finally caught up, and i still stand by my UC comment! And ha! Give a vintage an inch and they'll take a mile! One time, Batman and i were on a canceled flight. Instead of waiting in line, i called the airline to make sure we were rebooked and had seats together. This vintage came running at me waving her ticket and her phone in my face, saying "now do the same for me! My name is on my ticket and I'd like an aisle seat!" I hadn't hung up with the airline yet, and needless to say "Betty" was my "aunt" and i got her an aisle seat near us on the same flight. -

Again, this is what i get for responding as i go and not after I've finished reading. However, i don't believe her. She's clearly a UC. Clearly. -

It's so nice you have a police officer aboard! -
Haha! Yes! NCL does this on many ships! Thank you from someone who loves NCL and Royal equally! I can't find my pic, but there is always one fish pointing in the opposite direction. When you walk down any corridor, the fish face front. And usually there is a single rogue fish pointing in the opposite direction.

Might i recommend bringing your phone to the loo ? You may not be hiding your blog from your wife, but it does take multitasking to a new level .... #protip I mean, unless the Wonder has Love Toilets? -

You've come to the right place ... i can help you with that. Follow me for alcohol tips. I'm a professional. Follow @asquared17 for non-alcoholic tips. We all know what happens when she's only had one drink and reverts to using vouchers for (I'm sorry, A, too soon? ) -
I would've been open to a beach bed (because, TBH, I've never really been impressed with Royal's Cabanas compared to others we've rented), but they've been gone for a while!

IKR?! When I'm on my cruise, I feel like there is always someone wishing my week away while they are counting down for theirs! -

Hmm, is this why they stopped serving champagne on the bridge tour? (We had it in 2019 on Anthem, but not Oasis 2023) -

What is this 6:30am you speak of? Are you in hell or on a cruise ship? -

Hope you take some pics at Capt Bob's! Have fun! -
Can you imagine?! They are $1699 now for our cruise. This stuff is getting insane! The Hideaway Cabanas were cheapest at $1499 ... Thanks to everyone who responded. A Hideout Cabana opened up and we went with that ... with a bit of trepidation... but, hey, YOLO!

Hmm, that sounds borderline shenanigans to me! But inquiring minds want to know ... who had to tell them 2-3x? Please say you! Edit: nevermind! That's what i get for engaging before reading the whole thread! @WAAAYTOOO knows what's what! -

This never ceases to amaze me. Our last Norwegian cruise (which was over Thanksgiving) had 35 Diamond Plus equivalents (norwegian separates points, 175-349 is Sapphire and 350-699 is Diamond, so there were 29 Sapphires and 6 Diamonds) and a whopping 2 Ambassadors (700+ points) on a ship with nearly 4k pax. Sometimes i think Royal's loyalty program is a victim of its own success. I say this because for the most part, Norwegian's added tier benefits after Platinum (Royal's Diamond status equivalent) are negligible. I'm not sure of anyone who chases status after achieving Platinum. We're sitting at 290 points (Sapphire) and have no reason to get to Diamond. Heck, we had no reason to go from Platinum to Sapphire.
