How many Emed tests do you need? I have two left that I won't be able to use before they expire. (Nov 6, 2022) I'd rather just give them to someone on this site that needs them instead of throwing them away. UPDATE: The two tests have been requested by and sent to another blog member with a Canadian port stop.

I am pleased to report that the Bourbon was WELL STOCKED onboard Quantum of the Seas last week! One hiccup that I had on Day One is that ONE BAR did not have Buffalo Trace. The bartender told me that they would have it the next day as they had not yet received their restock yet. All other bars I visited that day did have it. For the duration of the Cruise, all bars we visited had Buffalo Trace (YES!), Maker's Mark, Bulleit, Bulleit Rye, & Jim Beam. I don't recall seeing Four Roses, but I was also not seeking it out.

FYI: If you have the DBP, you will not receive nor sign any drink receipts. As mentioned by @WesKinetic, you will be able to view each drink purchase listed in the app as Who purchased/Where at/$0.00. Our previous Cruise Statements with a DBP (2017-Early 2020) would have a list of $0.00 beverage charges for the duration of the cruise. Both or our 2022 cruises (January & August) do not have this list, only the onboard charges made that have an actual $ amount.

We just used this and it was a great service! I signed up and was concerned about getting the boarding passes and luggage tags since the "usual" checked in time for our flight was after 10:00pm the night before disembarkation. Our luggage tags and printed boarding passes were already waiting for us in our stateroom by the time we returned to the ship at around 7:00 pm. Not having to search for our luggage at the port OR clumsily disembarking with our bags was VERY convenient! Snapshot of the ship's port valet letter below.

Currently, ships that use the affected dock are tendering guests into the port using the ships life boats. Last week, Quantum left this message in the staterooms of it's guests.

I'm a little late to tell the OP about this in time, but, for anyone else interested, I saw that the Sunshine Bar in the Quantum solarium had Mr. Boston Blackberry Schnapps. FYI: If you're ever in that bar during his current contract, Reginald is a great bartender!

Are you actually saying that the RC IT department might not be up to date with the current protocols and requirements in regards to their email system? The hell you say!

As a Michigander that occasionally travels to Ontario, I've found that while American dollars are welcome, you will most often be given change in Canadian currency consistent with the exchange rate when you make purchases. YMMV.

Right? And haven't the cocktail prices on Oasis-class ships been $14 each for a quite a while with the purchase of a beverage package covering them?

You gets pins for Platinum on up. If your Emerald pins are not delivered to your stateroom, you can request them at the C&A Representative's Desk onboard.

Well, you COULD keep them. I would also expect some sort of extra charge on your credit card for doing so, too!

You won't be recognized as a Platinum member until after your cruise concludes and your C&A account is updated. (Usually within two weeks after disembarkation) You won't receive Platinum benefits until the next cruise.

Another option is the Seattle Express. $20 each for Adults/$15 each for children (under 5) for shuttle service from the Pier to the Airport/Airport Area Hotels. https://seattleexpress.com/cruise-ship-transfers/

In addition to the cashier in the casino, you might also be able to break large bills in the "cash out" machines there, too.

You don't need to, but it's a good way to let them know you will need distilled water and possibly an extension cord. Don't bring your own extension cord, it may get confiscated at check-in. Besides, it's one less thing to pack/carry.

https://www.chobolobo.com/ Yes. They have several different flavors in addition to the Original Blue Curacao and a bar with a pretty good menu of cocktails! We brought back half-sized bottles of original and chocolate.

If they didn't want you to drink alcohol in the morning, they wouldn't make alcoholic drinks with coffee, orange juice, tomato juice, etc.

Good advise for sure.

As soon as you can get to a bar! When you don't yet have your Sea Pass (they'll be waiting for you at the door to your stateroom when the staterooms are ready), the bartenders will make a note of your Stateroom number when you order.

To be fair, all the questions can be easily answered ahead of time since they just deal with vaccination status and pregnancy. Nothing about any type of symptoms or recent illnesses. Still odd to suddenly be able to do this already. IIRC, there were more things to answer back in January.

A quick search I did appears to show that RC uses Keebler SUPER TREAT! Eat-It-All cones. (I don't know if they ONLY use this brand) It doesn't appear that any animal products are used to make them. An Artic Zone Soft Serve Yogurt station on board Mariner. Nutrition & Ingredients label from the cones pictured. HOPE THIS HELPS!!!

Welcome to the boards. This happened to me by surprise a few months ago. I placed the Drink Package in my cart several weeks earlier, but did not check out. Prices began to rise and stayed higher before I bought it and the price in my cart remained the same. When I did check out, the lower "in cart" price is what I was charged! Like you said, it does seem to be a "soft lock" on the price. I made a post about it back in May. But, YMMV.

According to the CruiseMapper web site, Wonder has no single cabins. Also, Harmony looks to be the only Oasis-class ship to have cabins on deck 4. (All "Studio Singles") "Note: Unlike other Oasis-class boats, Wonder OTS lacks the cabin categories VS (4-Bedroom Vista Suite, aka Family Villa, Presidential Suite), TL (Star Loft Suite), GT (2-Bedroom Grand Suite) as well as "single cabins" (2O-Studio Oceanview, 2W-Studio Interior)."

According to the email about the updated Alaska itineraries, the OBC is available once on board.

Here is a link to where the "bar code trick" has been mentioned. The last four to six digits are the deck & room number using a bar code/QR code reader app on the Set Sail Pass when it becomes available.
