    PL8SWPR reacted to Ryan79 in Removed from ship after food poisoning. No refund.   
    You are going to need proof that it was food poisoning and that you ate the afflicted food on the ship. Food poisoning on a ship isn’t just going to affect 2 people out of thousands. Thousands of other people ate the same exact food as you did and I doubt there was lots and lots of other people in your same situation with getting sick. Since this happened so early in the cruise, how can you be 100% positive it wasn’t something you ate before you even boarded the ship? Food poisoning doesn’t always happen within a few hours.

    Given so many people are eating the same food, if you two were the only ones who got sick, and in light of the fact that it happened so early on in the cruise, I’m not sure how you could be so certain it was the food that made you sick. What food in particular do you think it was?

    So you're a thief?  Do you also steal from local stores?

    PL8SWPR got a reaction from NoobCruise in Wifi? Why would you add 3 people instead of one person W/3 devices?   
    If you each just have one device, it's easier.  If you each have multiple devices, you could kick the others off their's if you don't remember to logoff on your first device before logging on the other

    We start at 20%, but usually round up.  Some restaurants we eat at the bar, bartenders know us by name and we get certain benefits from that relationship so I've gone 30% or so.
    Also, if you are in a situation where a portion of the meal is free (buy 1 get one free, food taken off because it wasn't right, etc) tip based on what the cost should have been.  The server is working just as hard regardless of bill adjustments.

    WiFi calling.  Don't need to use the cell service.  I was getting election spam calls during the week in airplane mode.  Thankfully, I don't think many people know this yet.  Next time you get or make a call when connected to WiFi look at the call status, most likely the call is going over wifi even if you are not in airplane mode (if WiFi calling is enabled, which I believe by default it is).

    PL8SWPR got a reaction from ScottD in My thoughts on Liberty OTS so far.   
    Last night on Liberty finishing up the 6 night Western Caribbean and Cococay trip sandwiched between leaving NJ and 3/4 night Bahamas trips.
    Ship is in good shape.  The hull is clean, seemingly freshly painted.  The railings on deck 4 received new varnish this week.  Some of the balcony railings below deck 8 could use some though. 
    Had a young server team of Andrew and Christian in the MDR who were outstanding.  No dinner lasted more than an hour with one at 45 minutes.  Had My Time dining and requested the same table every night for our reservation without issue.  
    No regrets booking this older ship at all.

    Always use MyTime Dining.  Set our dining time as 7:15 each night when we booked.  Day 1 on the cruise we just finished we asked for a specific table as we were walking to another.  No problem.  Upon exit, we asked them to reserve that same table for us every night of the cruise. Again, no issues.
    Showed up every evening around 7:05-7:10 and never waited more than a minute or 2 to be seated.
