I think Izumi is not included in bogo. 

I thought that was just the Hibachi versions of Izumi.  This is just the run of the mill Izumi on Vision.

We've never used the BOGO deal before, but we're getting bold and branching out.

Anyone ever have any luck getting the BOGO half off for Izumi for lunch since it's the same price as dinner?

A related error, this on the Air2Sea website, despite having multiple cruises booked

The duck is the only thing from the old menus I miss.

Be careful with looking at current cruise ship time since at any given time the ship time could be underway and be in an different time zone from that ship's home port time.

It's a nice town square with your typical shops, but with more local flair than just redundant Caribbean junk. It was better when Margaritaville was open though. Also a small pharmacy.

Check in times are always based on midnight local to that home port.

Well that is a non smoking area anyway, so...

I've seen that error message many times.

When I click on manage reservation I can see the details but get a note that this reservation is not linked to my account, I get this for both my upcoming cruises, I'm confused.

Ignore that message. 

I'm glad that's resolved before you got to the port.

Remember people in the US tip because service providers (bar tenders, wait staff) do not earn a living wage. These jobs count on tips as the main income. Cruise ships might be different, Americans tip as part of the culture because we’re raised this way. Many other countries pay workers a living wage so do not need to tip. 

The issue isn't tipping restaurant workers. It's the expectation to tip everyone you come in contact with during the day, including those making more than adequate wages.

I don't think RC has ever given a time for when check in opens have they? It's always just a date.

Just us crazies try to get in the first second it is open.

It was somewhere between 12:07 and 12:10 on my last checkin.

Wow, never going to be sitting under there again. Beside the award Nitin should be getting raise and promotion 

It'll probably be the safest place to sit now.

Your pin buddies on freedom sure never did 

We always find a pin couple like that on every cruise.

I hear Star's March 14th, 2027 sailing is a good one! 

Not as awesome as march 15, 2026, right @GatorCruiser?

Nothing wrong with a medium rare cookie!

I must be the only one who thinks ranger cookies are like biting into concrete.

I mean the flavor is good, but holy cow, take them out of the oven 10 minutes sooner.

Some other video.

Looks like it was broken from inside somehow, then gave way shortly after.

You should do a liveblog. Give the people what they need.

Do they have to be connecting rooms? I don't think there are any more connecting rooms available on this sailing. 

That's not necessary for this cruise since 18 is the minimum age to be the oldest in a cabin.

I'll be there in about 4 weeks, I'll be curious to see the progress.
