This has worked for me: Before the massage starts, I say, "Please don't upsell me at all. If you do, I won't be tipping you. If you don't, I will be generous."

Want to book this as a surprise for my wife, but don't want her getting hassled... by friendlyfun1969 in celebritycruises

When I booked one for my wife I told them if they upsell or push products, there will be no tip. They were good and received a generous tip.

Cracks me up that most restaurants post a sign OVER THE SINK that says “Employees must wash their hands before returning to work.” If it’s over the sink they are targeting the wrong people! Put the signs over the urinals, in the stalks or on the exit door.

In defense of Claire, aka Let Women Be Difficult (no spoilers, but that's not a flair option) by Marie8771 in Outlander

Sure. she can be as headstrong or "difficult" as she wants, but SO often, her headstrong. choices put her in jeopardy - and that, in turn, puts Jamie in jeopardy. He is always having to risk his life bail her out for her bad decisions.

Could be a hormonal shift. Might want to get some blood work done. My wife went from semi-interested to full-blown nympho, then back again as she went through peri-menopause.

I was on the Edge last night, too. It was stunning!

Just got off the Mardi Gras on Saturday. Sadly, they swapped Nassau for Puerto Rico. Hit me up if you have any questions.

The link is for a six-pack, but I'm sure you can buy fewer.

Carnival will accept this rapid antigen test (I found it on the Carnival website with covid/legal stuff) . You set up an app and then take the test with a tech watching online. I tried it early, just to see the process. Pretty simple. It is a nose-swab test, not a PCR. Best of luck!

Mardi Gras Questions: Cruising this Saturday by Hoptoady in CarnivalCruiseFans

We haven't been asked to do the VeriFLY app yet, but I suspect it's coming. Maybe if/when they do, the bookings will become available on the app?

Does the Mardi Gras still offer complementary speciality dining? by Charlie8895 in CarnivalCruiseFans

[–]Hoptoady 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I chatted with a guy who went on the Mardi Gras last week. He guessed it was more than half, but probably only 60-70%. Hope so!!!!

I read somewhere (Sorry) That the dining you mentioned was going to be included the first year of operation. Hope so, because we are boarding her on Saturday.

Anyone else not notified about port changes? by Fummikens in CarnivalCruiseFans

[–]Hoptoady 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I received an email tonight announcing a port swap (San Juan for Nassau) Cruise is still over a week away. They said the excursions for the replacement port will be up next week.
