Went on my Jan 20th cruise telling my wife I had a surprise for her in the room. Nice surprise. A letter stating that her tote was out of stock (even though is showed in stock on the website) and we would get an onboard credit or our credit card refunded, neither has happened!

Yes this is required to take advantage of the high price you paid for the drink package. You can have a sit down breakfast in the main dining room and order fresh squeezed OJ, mimosa, screwdriver, bloody mary etc

Just use your discretion if you're going to do it. Part of the fun is the thrill of potentially getting caught...at least for me! 😉

Oh yeah, every cruise we get a balcony on its mandatory lol, as long as no one is in the rooms next to us at the time.

Thanks for the heads up. I was finally able to buy my wife the sea turtle beach tote. I forgot to look for it until I saw this post. It has been out of stock for awhile.

I always thought nacho cheese was fake no matter where it cam from !! 😆

I have a couple.  EARLY BIRD SUN LOUNGER HOGS          And my second is men who wear baseball caps in the MDR or Specialty Restaurants.  Total lack of etiquette and disrespectful .Rude.  Call me old fashioned, but thats how I still view it. 

From what I read so far you should stay out of the casino. You do not get a "free" cruise, you pay for it in the casino. Plus you have kids so when you want to take your "free" cruise you most likely will be able to because they are offered during off peak seasons.

Spin your partner round and round. 
 
Didn’t know swing dancing was still popular enough to charter a ship.

Not a service animal. Fluffy needs to stay home. If you can't leave the animal then you don't need to be cruising. 
I was a working dog handler in the military and have worked with the service animals for the blind and my mother currently volunteers with the Paws for Passengers at the Reno Airport.
I am in healthcare now and I can't even count the number of times patients have asked me to write letters for them to take their animals with them. I have said no everytime.
I know what it takes to have to need these very specialized animals and to have to them trained. Service animals cost thousands of dollars in training and everyone that wants to take Fluffy with them to the store, Dr's office, to dinner, on the plane, or on a cruise, diminishes the real service animals and does a disservice to the disabled that truly need them.

It's kind of humerous that we have to convince ourselves of the value of the Drink Package (which we purchase when cruising) based on a average per drink cost.  We all go through the metrics of when we will drink, what pace we will consume, and come to the conclusion we will EASILY hit that 5 drink break even point.  Then support it with. "I    just want to relax and grab a drink when I     want" , "throw it out when I     want", "get another one when I     want", etc.  The irony of the matter is we all have to accept the absurdity of drinks being $14+ each, and then use it as an acceptable baseline to make us feel good about the purchase. lol   Not too far off from celebrating $4.00 gallon gas dropping to $3.79.....
Even though I    plan to continue to purchase the drink package when cruising, the $100 per day mark is not far off.  That carries some weight when you are looking at another $1,400 for the trip.

Looking at the website it looks like you have to make a reservation as they only want 28 guests at a time.

To be fair, it can only be called Nacho cheese if it is produced in the Nacho region of France, otherwise it's pasteurized partially gelenatinated non-dairy food product.
