We are going on the Jewel sailing from Amsterdam to Boston in August-September (16 nights). We are debating about specialty dining packages. The App gives us menus for the first week, but no longer. Does anyone know if the MDR repeats the menu or if there will be a different theme every night. Unlimited Dining Package is too expensive for us (two retired old ladies). Any help or suggestions would be appreciated.

We ended up with a hotel between the downtown area and the port. I had not anticipated that the hotel rooms would be so expensive but I think we will be okay. Thanks to everyone. See you all on board

Thank you so much. I was hoping a local would help out.

We are going on the Serenade of the Seas 7 Night Canada Cruise on 10/22/2023. We are flying into Boston from LAX on Thursday the 19th as none of us have been there before and we will spend two days sightseeing. Does anyone have recommendations where to stay. Is it better to stay by the historical district and take a taxi to the port, or should we stay by the port and take rapid transit around? Thank you all so much

Thank you to all who took the time to respond to me.

We are traveling in a Junior Suite on Brilliance of the Seas on May 22 - May 29. I saw some youtube tours of the cabins. Will K cups work in the coffee machine, or should I just bring tea bags, etc for my morning Chai Lattes?

Thanks. Who knew that I had a casino level? I hardly ever play. Good to know. Thanks again.

We are sailing on the Brilliance of the Seas out of Ravenna on the May 22 sailing. I've checked in and on my Sea Pass card it has my C&A level (Diamond) and after that Choice. My friend's Sea Pass doesn't have that. What does the Choice mean? Neither of our drink packages are on there, which I can understand, but what is Choice?

I took my oldest nephew there several years ago for his graduation trip. I am taking another one on the 8/22 cruise for his. The older one said that he loved taking the tour of the island (I was surprised he remembered) and was disappointed that we weren't going to St. Maarten. So I guess we will take another tour. I hope that the Cruise Planner gets up soon so that we can plan it.

We are checked in as well. We have 1:00 check in as well. I guess they want to do a once over of the ship from the last sailing.

I just wanted to wish everybody cruising this weekend to have a great time. The rest of us are so jealous.

Thanks, guys. You are the best.

I’ve just had my March 28 cruise cancelled on Allure. I have purchased shore excursions and drink packages, etc. I understand you can get Onboard Credit for these items. Does that mean that I can’t use that money before boarding to pay for my excursions or other packages?
