    While this doesn’t answer most of your questions, in Europe you only really tip on tours if it’s a private tour. You can always tip, but it’s not really a thing there.  It’s very different there than in the West. The locals will tell you to leave US tipping culture in the US. They want no part of it. If you were to tip a tour, it’s Euros.

    i think you will find that Europe is in the 'western world'

  2. Had 2 very different experiences at Miami Terminal A -

    Thur 26 Dec Explorer (left from G, Arr A)  - We got off at 8.30 ish and it took us over 45 minutes to get off, get luggage and get thru immigration.  Only 6 to 8 officers checking passports

    Mon 30 Dec Allure - off at 8.15 and in a coach by 8.30.  The photo recognition system was being used and so hardly a queue.

    Why wasn't the photo recog not up and running on 26th?   Absolute carnage!!

  3. Did this just before Xmas 2022 on Explorer - what a complete waste of money.  Waiting for ages on cococay to be picked up.  (was moved from 9.30 to 13.30 due to wonder being in)  We wasn't given the opportunity to feed them ourselves.  Only about 10 pigs on beach.  I think it is on the verge of cruelty.........

  4. Was on Explorer over Xmas and this is our first RC cruise where the Cafe Promenade Barista coffee was closed from 10pm-6am.  We have been on 4 other ships (pre and post covid) and have always been able to get barista coffee earlier than 6am ( we are early risers)

  5. did Explorer for Xmas and New Year last week.  

    Aaprt from the big Xmas Tree, the boat was not very festively decorated.

    The MDR menu was the same (25th/31st) apart from Beef Wellington was changed to Filet Mingon. 

    The Xmas headliner show was awful.

    Barbados was complete carnage as too many people and not enough buses

    Most of the entertainment was poor and Elvis is the worst Entertainment Director we have ever seen.

    Were you on the boat at the time and if so did they give details about this? was it coming soon when amp'd or when in dry dock later this month? travelling on this ship later in the year and would be great if they can modernise the boat a little. 

    yes - was actually on boat fron 18th dec 2022- 2 jan 2023 (6+9 B2B)   Going to Cadiz for dry dock

    Another case of protocols working.  Not newsworthy.   

    Seriously if every employer and every school tested everyone every week there would be hundreds and thousands of cases popping up.  Media would ignore it until one person said they were on a cruise ship, then it would make headlines. 

    Stop reporting these things and stop clicking on the stories.  The site traffic drives media to create more headlines like this.   

    well said - in the uk we are testing 15 times more people than other european countries but only have the same numbers of positives per 100k
