Ok folks, I was active duty from Jan 1994-July 1994, then Reservist from July 1994-Feb 2002. I was honorable discharges, and Have the letter stating this. My dd-214 says un-categorized, but it only shows the active duty dates. The letter shows the actual date of my HONORABLE discharge from the Reserves.
Now I have multiple copies of both documents. However, I am worried that when I get to port, the letter plus the DD214 will be insufficient.

I have recently requested and received my documents again, to be sure everything was up to date, they sent me copies of the same forms i already have from 2002!

Am I going to be in trouble here? Has anyone else spent time int he reserves, is this standard for discharge? Only the letter stating honorable and the dates you served? ]]> Royal Caribbean International 2 Tickets to Paradise http://boards.cruisecritic.com/showthread.php?t=1094520 http://boards.cruisecritic.com/showthread.php?t=1094518&goto=newpost Sat, 21 Nov 2009 05:30:13 GMT I never seen anyone mention this hotel here.

I really wanted to go somewhere warm this winter so I started browsing for deals. I finally found a good (I think) deal on the Carnival Sensation: 4 day cruise to the Bahamas for $371 total! I'm so excited! I'm already having visions of lounging on the deck, enjoying the beach, drinking a fruity cocktail. Cruising seems so retro/glam (like the old days when travel by oceanliner was the thing).

Everything is set, have read up on money, shots, mummy tummy, etc., but now I need to know - just what did you ladies wear on your feet?
Sandals - and let the sand slide in and out - or tennis shoes?
A friend suggested desert boots and the only ones I have seen are big clumpy boots which might be very hot to wear; also, too much money.

What worked for you?

I finished coming back from the Carnival Valor couple weeks ago. And I noticed my neighbor's was no longer on board after the 3rd day. When i asked the cabin steward what happened to them , he let me know that his wife was caught stealing in the Casino and he was caught stealing some where else on board the ship. (Perhaps the gift shop or photo dept , not too sure). Both where up to no good. :mad:

The authorities kicked them off the ship at the 1st port of call !

Do you think the ship did the right thing from getting rid of the bad
apples ?

Hi, I was wondering if anyone has taken the Royal Caribbean Mazatlan excursion of show and tour where they see the d cliff divers, flying dancers and a bit of the town.

We actually went on a nice city tour with Mazatlan Frank when we were there a few years ago, but this time we are there with 85 y/o grandparents as well as teenagers and I was looking for something to entertain all.

If anyone has other suggestions for Mazatlan or Cabo I would welcome those, too.

Thanks very much.
