I am one who agrees with you. That's why we book ahead to lock in the price. When I objected the loyal to royal attacked me and said do you expect royal to just eat the new taxes. .. well yes, that's why i locked in the prices. I agree with you but it's not worth cancelled over a $20 extra charge. Didnt you know royal can do no wrong?

I'm throwing out the spices and not moving any food. Buying new. And yea on the painters. Only would paint with sherwin William's. But at least it's all clean and ready for me. 10 or 20 years ago I would have done more myself. Like jimbo I hope this is my last move ever. Someone told me i complain too much about prices. I admit i feel shocked almost every time i go to krogers. No krogers where I'm moving through, publix. But I do feel like I spend money like water since covid.

And I would say the 12 month targets are higher than pre covid when they had a lot less debt, though prices sure are higher. Some of these beats on earnings I hear from various companies are beating top and bottom line, then you listen and it's because they raised prices, not because they sold more widgets, or whatever, it's based on higher prices which people are now pushing back against. I personally know these rcl price hikes cant continue at this rate, so they year over year and growth will die back as comparisons become harder year over year and yes I do look at year over year.

I dont watch that closely. Tbh I wait for sales like lunches were mostly 40% off and I book lunches and as a D+ I book that instead of the 3 day. Last black friday I booked lunches for cruises in 2024 and excursions at 30% off. I'd keep watching and maybe the 3 day will come back. I'm cheap and do lunches just because they cost so much less. But keep watching, maybe it will come back. I'm sure they have a certain amount allocated and do sell out, but not sure I see ourusualbeach says yes they sell out on pkgs.

I guess I should have packed myself but I'm paying someone to pack my stuff not yet boxed. I've packed some. Which is I'm sure why its costing extra. I'm back where I'm allowed to bend over from eye surgery, but I just decided to pay, but didnt realize how much extra it will cost. I'd kinda fooled around estimating it from google links .. it just cost more when I called to nail it down. He probably has a standard amount for a family, and as it's just me I doubt I have as much left for them to pack as a family would. All the drawers are packed, just hanging, bathrooms and kitchen to pack. And pictures and tv need to be boxed. And mattress needs a cover they said. I told him allow 4 boxes for kitchen, who knows. And the really fragile stuff in the kitchen I'm packing into my car to drive there myself.

I've only seen 3 day dining pkg, never a 4 day. At diamond there isnt a complimentary pay restaurant so if you have it probably a gift from your TA? Diamond plus has BOGO but not diamond.

Called my buyer yesterday and reminded her not to schedule her appraiser during my vacation. Of course she forgot, but I have a cruise 7 days on mariner may 6 and I dont want anyone in while I'm gone. Today googled movers and they really like one mover over others, ranked #1 so I booked with them though as always surprised at the price. Isnt that a sign you are getting old you think everything cost much less you remember. I havent moved cross country in over 20 years. For some reason I thought about 6k would move me. Tops. I dont even have a lot to move, lots of boxes. For another $1500 I could get a dedicated truck and a specific move in date. And he took off another $1300 I think as a partial pack. But I have framed pictures each needs a box. The tvs have to be boxed, and closets and bathrooms. The date can be anywhere from 2 to 12 days from friday may 17. Depends which stop of the moving truck I am. I plan to drive and stop a lot probably and get a hotel until they get there. Gave them a deposit. One step closer. Another case of sticker shock. Am I the only one always surprised how much stuff now costs?

The one on radiance they assigned to me with my inside gty was 104 sf, and only had a twin bed. Some newer ships I think might have a full bed idk. In fact I have the list of which have which beds.

Thank you for this. I have always wondered if we missed the right test. She was still alive when they started on me to pull the plug. Inspected her visually and said nonresponsive, looks like a stroke. I said I want to know what happened, not just what it looks like visually before I decide. Luckynana thank you for the wishes for my sister. Yes all my mom wanted was for her children to be happy. Some trusts are because families have lots of money, this one is because my sibling cant manage money .. or anything else. I take it as a directive handed to me to make karen as happy as I can with the money they left. Happiness.

Typically they have a meeting place and expect you to get to where the shuttle meets, they dont meet you personally and walk you over.

Like I said I think they want fares from the airports, not 3 miles or less. I had a uber driver tell me same thing, that many uber drivers dont click on the short fares from Galveston hotels,, they wait for fares from the airports,, they want the longer trips. I know you stay in texas city so further away so they want ones like yours.

I took a taxi back after my cruise and had mentioned high rollers had a stand with their cards on the hotel desk. They said this is in violation of whatever and also reported them for violating Galveston codes. And the taxi driver removed their box and cards. If every shuttle was allowed to do this, would overflow, not allowed, so they are kinda aggressive. If it was a range, then they should have said this when I booked. Another miss. I texted so when will you be here, and they didnt know. And like i said already 15 minutes late. Clearly it didnt matter to them.

I use a paperback and put my glasses on the table. Never had a issue so far, knock on wood.

This sounds much better. Whew.

Wow I sure didnt expect prices that high. I need solo for 1 from FCO, rome to mco, Orlando. When I look on priceline I see all sorts of airlines. Finland, Sweden, names I have no familiarity with. From $650ish up. One way. Idk if it's safe to book some airlines I never heard of like Finnish air or whatever. I'm still 13 months out, cant book yet with royal or see their prices. Premium economy means you can check luggage and cancel right?
