Episode notes
Request Concierge Perks Early
- Do request concierge perks like extra blankets and pre-stocked drinks when booking concierge to increase comfort on cold itineraries.
- Use the concierge early-booking window to email excursion and service requests at 130 days to secure popular options.
Arrange Beds And Blankets Strategically
- Do ask concierge about room layout and which bed is draft-prone; place those sensitive to cold in the inner bed.
- Request extra blankets for veranda or Murphy beds since sliding glass doors can create drafts on cold sailings.
Use Concierge Lunch To Finalize Plans
- Do use the concierge sit-down lunch on embarkation day to meet concierge hosts and submit any last-minute booking requests.
- Treat that meal as a relaxed chance to confirm excursions, spa appointments, and room preferences.
