Dining packages opened up recently for my October cruise. At first the prices were pretty $$$ but then they ran a 40% off promo which put the unlimited dining at $48 CDN/day gratuities included (or a little under $41/day before the 18% gratuity) so we took it since we're doing this trip without...

That sucks. I haven't been stiffed by a car service in about 22 years but I still remember it (pre-ordered taxi to go from my apartment to the Windsor (ON) train station at 6am. Ended up having to drive there and pay the ridiculous parking fees). Glad to hear that you made it in good time...

I know it's not Cantonese. Every conversation we have sounds like an argument.

I'm primarily a Lithium/90's on 9 person.

Yeah. There were also times where the production was barely ahead of the racers. So I get the intention behind the bottlenecking, but it just kills all the travel drama.

I actually like the group starts, because I hate the "race to the airport, only to find out it's a bottleneck and everyone's on the same flight" that the show does. And it means that finishing near the back of the pack has tangible consequences. I loved it back when teams would actually have...

Ben and David are good, but they aren't my cup of tea. Bright Sun's travel reviews are quite refreshing. I also enjoy the ones he does of places in Ontario (he had a pretty scathing review of Marineland).

Yeah this season isn't as good, but I think reediting for 90 minutes hurt them a bit. Maybe it will pick up now that the weaker teams have been eliminated (I liked them, but it was apparent that they wouldn't be going far).

Since you've never flown I can appreciate your anxiety. My wife does not like flying and her anxiety keeps her up on flights of any length. I'm perfectly fine with flying but I'm the person that plans the travel and accommodations so I get anxious about things like getting to the airport on...

Final Update: Hadn't checked my mail in a week but I did yesterday and the card arrived.

Icon should be an interesting one. I've been following Chris Wong's videos and it looks pretty wild. But it does look more like a resort at sea vs a cruise ship with fun amenities.

If I ever were to apply for TAR Canada, I'd definitely work on driving stick. I know how in theory, but in practice, it's obviously a different story.

I think they've removed the retina scans in favour of a full headshot.

Easily the best free pizza I've had on a cruise ship. I don't know what they do that's different, but they should stick with it. On my cruise they were showing NFL playoff games on the pool screen. Which was funny because I saw DCL and Royal commercials during the ad breaks.

Quick note: Royal is essentially the same layout as Regal which I was just on, and I think from the upper decks you'd have some really nice views of Alaska. The teen area is really nice but your teen's use of it will be, based on my observation, largely proportional to the number of friends they...

That was one of the reasons I stopped watching Mammoth Club. I get that it's a stylistic choice from Molly but it also makes me appreciate the editing at AllEars. I pretty much watch AllEars now because I like their competitions that also give you tips, tricks and trivia. And in some cases...

Just remember, your credit card might still cover most of that fee.

I saw a video from Matt Hochberg recently that said Royal was testing out some sort of pager/callback system for MTD through the app. That won't solve the issue of waiting for a table, but I guess that will help with people waiting around the MDR for a table.

Yeah it's not my go-to line either but I would have no issues sailing with them again. And the Sun Princess does seem to be trying to get some of that family market so it's certainly worth looking into. Would agree that shows were not great, but the caveat there is that DCL and Royal are head...

I would say it's more of a floating resort than a floating hotel. Not sure what "entertainment event" is supposed to mean. Probably one of those "in the moment" comments that vloggers do. To me, the major difference with Disney cruises is Disney. You're effectively getting a WDW resort...
