I ordered a bottle of Jack Daniels today from Bon Voyage and the price was $69. She said the prices went up. We cruise on the 23rd.

One other thing you should be aware of is the lineups. It starts with embarkation to disembarkation and just about every ship event in between. Just learn to accept it and try to be as graceful as possible cause you are sure to see some uptught cruisers. We were in lineup for 2.5 hours trying to get back on the ship from an excursion in San Juan. We got to see some lively cruisers interaction and some of it was not pretty.

you waited 2.5 hours to get back on after an excursion? wow, I have never had to wait longer than a few minutes. Guess it depends on what time you get there.

You can eat all you want in the Main Dining Rooms too. Just tell your waiter you want another entree, desert etc. There is no reason to leave the MDR hungry. I have seen people order 3 or 4 lobster tails on formal nite in the MDR.
