We're leaving on a 12 night cruise on March 15. The only way we aren't going is if  the cruise line cancels. We are 65 and in excellent health. You pays your money and takes your chances.

Skip the package altogether and bring your own. Problem solved.?

Been in Jr. Suites twice. Once was a regular suite and the second time we booked a guaranteed and they gave us a handicapped JS. It has larger bathroom with and open shower and wheelchair access to the balcony. Neither one of us are disabled but It was actually very nice.
A few comments....
You should have told the room attendant about the hot water pot and the balcony doors. They can't fix it if they don't know about it.
You missed a great opportunity by not eating in the coastal kitchen. The two big bonuses of a JS is double points and eating dinner in the CK.
Of course we enjoyed the additional space, the walk in closet and the large bathroom.

I lost a hearing aid one time. Don't know where or when but the next day I checked at the service desk and someone had turned it in to security. Dang things are expensive to lose.  i've since bought a retaining cord for my HAs to wear onboard.

Wish we could do a B2B as well but with 4 parents in their 90s at home we can't be gone a month.
And...thanks for the video. It really gets the juices flowing.

I recently read somewhere of a couple who did 8 SxS cruises in a row. Some were on the same cruise lines, some were in different cities (Miami-Fort Lauderdale). I think they did 4 different cruise lines as well.  It was interesting to read.

Me too. Don't see the point or feel obligated to paying gratuities twice.
Not to mention that the cruise lines added pre-paid gratuities so you don't have to worry about tipping.
And...I think it a bad precedent to tip extra. It lowers the standard of service. I've always gotten good to very good service on a cruise but  I've yet to get service over and above what I expected.

It's a mortal sin to share drinks with a drink package. They will make you walk the plank if you get caught. For the love of everything HOLY, don't ever, never, ever share a drink!?

Waiting is good manners.   Pushing past someone is rude.

Might try Jamies or Blue Cay if you're looking for a beach day. Both get good reviews.
