    Please do not bench press the lifeboats.  I think that is how the last one fell off the ship.

    RCL announces "The Luggage Key!"   For just 29.99 per guest/per day you can enjoy an additional 200 lbs. of luggage weight for your cruise enjoyment.
    PLEASE.  Nobody fact check me on this  🙂

    I also figured out just recently that when doing a B2B that I had to change rooms once and slipping that piece of paper into the holder indicating my new room number helps the cabin steward as well.

    sounds like everyone has answered your questions.
    At the end of the cruise I slip in a bright color index card (piece of paper willwork) with the family name in large print so hopefully no one will take the wrong bag out of the luggage terminal  When I get home I slip the paper into my luggage so it is ready for the next cruise.

    When they really get desperate they break out their "SHOW ME YOUR TIPS" signs.

    Do you mean how tall you have to be? Because those are two different things 🙂
    I'm tall enough to do the zip line on Oasis, but I don't know if I could get high enough to try.

    I'm going to give the OP the benefit of the doubt that this was an auto translation from somewhere and not a question about one's post-toke status.

    Only thing that dissuaded me from being a suite snob is my wallet 😞

    Do you pay double gratuity as a solo cruiser?
    Be careful what you wish for...

    Step 1: book double occupancy rooms as BigKarl/BigKarli
    Step 2: go through security, do a u-turn and go through security again with a wig as Karli
    Step 3: rinse/repeat for 80 cruise points
    Step 4: collect your drink vouchers

    He was the first concierge we ever had when we decided family cruising was going to be our thing. He sure didn't do anything to dissuade us from becoming suite snobs.

    Just getting off Navigator for my Dec. 11th Cruise and I can say that the Prime Rib was very poor quality in the Main Dining Room.  The next night wasn't any better.  We had Chicken Parm. and the Chicken was very dry and mine had gristle throughout. I was given another and given extra sauce to mask the dryness of the breading on the chicken. There was laughter in the dining room the next night because of the "Jumbo Coconut Shrimp" which actually was not butterflied as it usually is prepared and was half the size of a Cocktail Shrimp !  This was in no way the fault of any staff member on board and we assured them that there were 10's all around for service and we left an extra tip for each one at the end of our Cruise.
    Other than food (which was very poor quality at every venue) we had a great time and I will be back on board for BtoBtoBtoB cruises on Navigator starting Jan. 8, 2024. Thankfully "I only eat to live and not live to eat" so I manage to find a snack or two to suffice. 
    Maybe I will see some of you onboard?

    In the website, it will spell out what is included and what isn’t. Meals in the Main Dining Room (MDR), buffet and quicker Grab & Go type places are included. Speciality restaurants like Chops, Izumi, Jamie’s are extra. As far a as drinks go, water, tea, regular coffee, iced teas, non fresh squeezed OJ, concentrate juices are included. Speciality coffee (Starbucks), sodas, mocktails, energy drinks and any alcoholic beverage is not included. You can either pay as you go with any of those or buy a package.
