  1. You have a suite. Take...full...advantage. Milk that happy hour. Use that lounge outside the happy hour window for some peace and quiet. Also the suite lounge outdoor deck, too. Use the concierge to book your shows if the one you want is "sold out" Get that early morning cup of coffee in the lounge (even if it's crappy Americano style). Pre-covid you'd get a quick escort off the ship, but with the new disembarkation procedures, that's not offered (nor is it really necessary).
  2. Were there any CDC spies on board? The CDC advantageously used a niche event like Bear Week in Massachusetts to champion masking for the vaccinated. I'd hate to see them use another niche event to further take down cruise lines.
  3. $320 for that upgrade is a hell of a deal.
  4. I received mine yesterday (most efficient government transaction ever) I did not at all expect them to be the Ag Card tests, but just confirming for others, they're the standard home tests. Mine are from iHealth. Others may get different vendors.
  5. Did you panel your basement with free AOL CDs?
  6. No, it just means they're currently at capacity. Keep checking though, especially as we get into February. I wouldn't be surprise to see rooms open up
  7. The Beach Club on a cold windy day is basically a really expensive lunch
  8. I used the form and got a response later that day.
  9. Just different vendors for the same test.
  10. When we started cruising after staring a familiar, we did an RC cruise, then the next year one on Norwegian. The crew on the NCL cruise was just so much more stoic than RC. Like they all were just going through the motions. I'm sure there are a good many on RC that don't like their job, but they're always good at at least putting a smile on.
  11. Can they really fix the big screen or is that something that'd have to be outright replaced?
  12. Feb 8 I think.
  13. I got one last week for a March 20 cruise.
  14. For all we know someone had a heart attack after trying to relive his younger years.
  15. How easy of a process is the train from Vancouver airport? Do people recommend getting a compass card in advance?
  16. If there's just two of you it looks good. There's 3 of us, so I passed on the Pan Pacific and booked the Marriott Delta 2 blocks away.
  17. Pan Pacific looks really nice, but really expensive and the room layouts are not really conducive to more than 2 people (unless you're really short and can fit everyone into 2 double beds)
  18. I believe all desalinized water is mineralized to make it taste more natural.
  19. There's no good answer to that since even during "good" sales your sailing might not have much all that good.
  20. I'd go get a PCR test (that test for multiple viruses at once) in the mean time. A lot of kids that young have symptoms from something else (like the flu or RSV) but additionally test positive for covid.
  21. The article said this wasn't a drug death.
