While not that fast, I've never had to wait longer than 72 hours. And same as @SteveinSC, this is my preferred method of communication for the same reason.

Agree whole-heartedly. Getting solid info with a dose of funny makes it twice as nice! ?

If I'm recalling properly, it's the "Chicken Parmesan." A crispy chicken sandwich topped with Mozzarella cheese sticks and tomato sauce. They're not on the serving line, but rumor has it that if you ask nicely and get the right person, they can make it happen for you.

I don't have any advice for you @tchampion as I've never been to Nassau myself, but I do want to say congrats on 4 years. That's a big deal, live it up! ?

In all seriousness, I've flown through a quite a few airports in my day (including two in Russia in the 90s!), and LGA is far and away my least favorite airport I've ever had the misfortune of being routed through. Constant delays, poor service, limited transportation options, inconvenient to nearly everything and subpar facilities. I live in the area and absolutely refuse to go through LGA.

Related question, does anyone know if there are there also lockers over by the excursions pier?

Good luck!!!

This is what I figured, and makes perfect sense. Just making sure I wasn't missing something. As an aside, under 5 minutes from post to answer is beyond impressive turnaround. ?

Not to hijack this thread, but related question. How far out can you book Air2Sea rates? If I'm booking a 2022 cruise, can I do Air2Sea now despite the fact that air itineraries & costs aren't out yet? I should think not, but with the airfare being such a major chunk of the overall price, I have to take it into consideration when planning future cruises. Being able to secure a price now would certainly help me make some choices moving forward, but I don't see how the logistics of that could possibly work out. Hoping I'm wrong here!

It is my understanding that the cups just let you use the Freestyle Machines. At bars, the MDR, etc. you can still utilize the soda package by presenting your Sea Pass/WOW Band.

This is the whole crux of it right here. Spot on, @bhageerah.

Ah, yes. The famous "long-range seizure detection canine." They're all the rage. Very high-tech.

Have you tried clearing your browser cache? Most of the time this seems to work for me.

All of this makes sense, thank you. As an allergy-free and fairly decisive family, at least we have that in our favor. Seems like factoring in 90 minutes ought to leave us plenty of time, with a worst-case scenario of skipping dessert if we have to run. Thank you both! ?

No worries! Welcome aboard!

So, this is certainly an odd question, but I wanted to throw it out there to this community of experts. How long does dinner in the MDR with My Time Dining last? Cruise Planner lists it as two hours, is that accurate? Is the meal paced more by the kitchen like traditional dining or by how quickly the table eats each course? Do they try to push tables with kids through faster? A combination of all of the above? TIA for any feedback, trying to wrap my brain around scheduling dinners with shows & activities with two kids!

The published price in the US does not include the 18% gratuity, not sure if the same holds true in the UK. If recent trends are any indicator, you're not going to beat $45 pp. for the Deluxe Beverage Package unless a certain nameless intern returns from his or her suspension in the near future. I'd jump on that price if you're even considering getting it, you can always cancel or reprice later.

From the translated article posted by @Okgladgal:

Just saved $30 on the All Access Tour I'm taking my son on, but noticed The Key actually went UP in price since yesterday, which is curious...

Oof. That's a rough first night. Loving the live blog! ?

Safe travels! Looking forward to following along! ?

Are your friends taking applications for additional friends?

Great tour, @CHRIS WONG! Thank you!

The drink cards are really hit or miss, and lately much more miss than hit. Generally they only come out if they're trying to boost revenue from drink sales. If your primary drink is beer and you only have two or three a day, the Deluxe Package is almost certainly not for you.
