| Yes, I'm not complaining. It IS a good price. Just don't know how to tell the 3rd person she is paying more than the other two. This is the friend and she and her husband cruised with us to the PC last year. We all booked this cruise last year. In January he had a massive heart attack and passed away. So, we cancelled out her cabin that she had with him and she moved in with my Sis & SIL. She'll just be excited to still be able to go, I'm sure. |

| Jul--yeah that darn homework--spent a year doing physical therapy for my foot & arm--it $uck$, BUT it really is for your own good--don't hit me ok? Wendy--that is wierd---I went and looked. actually the 799 is the price for 3/4 for everything Balcony & below. suites 3/4 is 849 or 899. since we don't do insides anymore, I never price them. We always split the total price by the number in the cabin, but that is wierd. yeah & I agree about the 2 you think that need to go. so far I have agreed. so who do you think will win? | |

| hey Patti, someon on my radiance alaska roll call quoted you today--your post about the only thing that rccl owes us when we book. I am not even venturing over to that thread. we actually had 2 people cancel the ta in nov because they are D & won't be able to do the CL. truthfully, I am not sure what I would do, but thankfully, for right now anyway, I am in the clear--with this one anyway | |

| Brenda, I'm not sure I could pick a winner just yet. There's so many left. But, there are some stand outs, that's for sure. Melissa has natural ability. Her arm movements are so ballet like, I think she has a good chance. The gymnast has a lot of ability also, but I'd just as soon someone older wins it. My favorite professionals are Cheryl and Julianne. I won't mind seeing them stay for a long, long time. Tonight, Derek & Lil Kim's Argentinian Tango was absolutely beautiful. That was a real WOW! I vote online while I'm watching. Oh, and the cowboy is just as cute as can be. Not a bit of natural talent but he is working hard and I'd like to see him stay in for awhile. |

I thought Derek did a wonderful job of choreographying, especially after I saw the football & edita--they were not good tonight.. agree about ty--he is just soooooooooo cute. | |

| Thank you all for the well wishes. I had forgot about the extra stuff, thanks Patti!!! I was just so excited to be in a real suite!!! Haven't told my grandson it is going to be a surprise. Not that he will understand how cool it is, just expect it every time.
Julie, hearing all the cracking and such is scary, it is important to let him know if you are uncomfortable with any part of the treatment. But I really do appreciate my Chiro Doctor, she is wonderful.
Okay ladies is there any extra people that I need to plan on tipping because of the cabin I will have? | |

| Welcome Back, Kathy...hope to hear all about it soon. Virginia - WTG...Movin' on up!!!! You might be creating a monster with Alex in that suite. Such sad news about Tina..she's a strong lady, and will give it a good fight. Jul - Makes me cringe to think about the cracking. Nancy - Hope things work out well for Ken's aunt AND YOU AND KEN! Susan - Very funny (at least from our vantage point)...hope Ray isn't in too much trouble. Jen - We had our first experience with the CL on the Jewel last year. I'm not much of a drinker, but it did cut down on M's total bill. Bren & Wendy - I'm always partial to Cheryl & Julianne...but love Derek...he can make any dancer look good. As for the outcome, I think the NAKED GUY is great. As far as I know, he hasn't had any prior experience dancing. Melissa has, and I think the gymnast has an edge too. (waiting for her to do some back flips LOL). I think the DS has gone berserk!!! | |

| Thank you Patti, I knew that there was an increase but was not sure if there was a extra person to tip. Will redo my budget with the increase. Thank you | |

| Ginny, We also tipped the concierge, when we stayed in the RFS. But maybe you already do that as a Diamond member? | |

| Virginia, congrats on the suite! You'll love the extra room! Well, I know of one person who got a DP upgrade call on the cruise, and he has all of 26 credits. He's also the TA on my group booking, so he knows that I have 75. I am so steamed - I had called earlier today to ask, but I was boarding the plane and just couldn't focus on it. I think I'm going to pay to upgrade to the JS, even though it's just me. I like the extra space. It's absurdly extravagant, but I can't say that I care. And actually today is a wash financially - I saw in the NY Times over the weekend that United Airlines will still refund or credit price drops. The other major US carriers (most of them) make you pay the change penalty, so it's often not worth it. UAL is going to start doing that in April, but today I saw a $175 difference in the fare on our Rome flights and they gave it to us a refund on the credit card - woo hoo! But I think I've just spent it on the DP upgrade, LOL. | |

| P.S. We also tip the Concierge - I think anybody who uses the CL is expected to (not that they do, sadly). Other than the increased cabin steward gratuity, there's no other person who gets tipped extra. | |

| Oh, Jul, was it you that tried to email Rachel and it bounced back to you? I sent one about an hour ago and it seems to have gone through... An email to book Allure, eh? I didn't get THAT one, either! I'm having a midnight pity party, all by myself! | |

now there is even a place on the gratuity form for the concierge--our ta does pre-pd grats, so we don't have to do the form (not until Nov when we don't have pre-pd, but I ain't going there, it's too early ) - jillybabes wrote:

| Windy and supposed to rain all day here. The snow is gone! Warmer temps on the way. I do get all the emails, got the Allure one. I'm with whoever said that we're waiting to see Oasis first and they're already hawking Allure. I haven't read much over on the DS. I just get tired of the whining and griping and outrageous threats to quit cruising with RCCl. We are not alcohol drinkers so the CL isn't a huge factor in why we cruise. Patti, is the Hampton Inn you use in San Diego the Downtown one? The one on Pacific Coast Highway? I need to be making our reservations for November and think that's where we'll stay. I read that NCL is now making Pepsi their cola of choice over Coke. Boy, would my DH love it if RCCL did that. He is a big Pepsi fan, I'm fine with the watered down lemonade. Off to Wal-Mart and the cleaners. |
