Cruisercl

All Visas and their rules are government rules not any transportation companies responsibilities. Keeping up with each individual country requirement would be daunting and costly for the cruise lines. They do change. The onus is always on the traveler. No airline would let you board without the correct ID or passport which are all government documents. The airlines do not help you get your ID or passport. Pretty much the same thing.

Good Friday evening everyone! I finally received my Luggage Forward luggage today from the AUS GV. The past week has been busy with re-entry into reality. Not for the weak hearted! Though I would be ready to cruise again as soon as things are sorted. 😎 I will open the luggage tomorrow to start the task of laundry. Don't want to rush into these things.... I also got my taxes done and they were accepted pretty quickly. Lots of other little tasks needed to be done too, as you can imagine. I also have been sleeping about 9-10 hours a night. More tired than I thought. I haven't had the 'off the ship' motion feeling at all, even when in bed. I usually do. Prayers for all of us and our world. We do need them. Celebrate the joys in your life no matter how small. Hope everyone is having a good day. Cheers to a good weekend!! Caron

Thanks so much to everyone here for the warm welcome home! The GV AUS was a great cruise and a good time! 😎 Caron

Hi from the Volendam, at sea today, on our way to Nuku'alofa, Tonga. It is a beautiful day at sea. @cruising sister, sweet baby Murphy looks great! So glad to see she is progressing nicely. @richwmn, my thanks for creating this great thread. Happy anniversary! Safe travels to all traveling. Take care all, Caron

Hello everyone! On the Volendam currently on our way to a 2 day POC in Auckland, NZ. All is good. @Nickelpenny very sad to hear about your sweet Martina. Hugs to you.😥 @smitty34877 thank you for the pic of sweet Camilla! She is perfect and beautiful. Such a big girl now. 😊 Celebrate the day all as we were given another. Prayers for us all too. Take care, Caron

Yes! Welcome to this nice people thread....from a fellow Tribe poster. I don't post often on either but post occasionally which makes me a lurker on both. 😜 Both are pretty fun too. ☺

Hey everyone! @StLouisCruisers I just want this to be a safe place for all. Perceptions of comments can vary so it may be challenging at times as others have expressed. Take care all. 🙂 Caron

I miss @Crazy For Cats and his memes too! Always funny, never inappropriate IMO, though others here called him out. Hope he returns. Hope we will continue to be a safe space. Great news on our cutie Baby Murphy! Continuing to have great fun on the AUS/NZ GV😊 Prayers for us all, celebrate your joys. Take care all. Caron

When I had a cruise booked and was summoned for jury duty I told them I would be out of the country that week. I requested to be deferred to a month I knew I would be in town and told them that. No problem.

Inappropriate.

@cruising sister, Sweet Murphy looks great! Love her cutie smile and crinkled nose with it...and......so cute!!! Wonderful to see her growing up nicely. 😊❤

Not what the OP was describing. I agree it is a crime but was answering to the person who believed it wasn't. Lots of laws are based on ethics principles. Lawyers are usually obligated to follow..lol. We are on the same page. 🙂🌴

Nope. Just because it isn't a law doesn't mean it is not stealing. As a lawyer you should know ethics.

Happy Valentines Day to all on the other side of the International Date line! ❤ And...hello from the Volendam. We are at sea today on our way to Perth (Fremantle) AUS. Nice weather today. We were in Exmouth yesterday. It was hot but not unbearable. Went on a wonderful glass bottom boat SE to see the Ningalooo reef. Pretty impressive. Prayers for all of us and the world. We need them now more than ever. Prayers for everyone observing Ash Wednesday. It is a solemn day of reverence in the Catholic church. Hope everyone is having a good day. Take care all, Caron 😎

Good day everyone from the Volendam! We are currently at sea on our way to Darwin, AUS (on the AUS/NZ GV). Another beautiful day in paradise, mid-80's, light breeze. This has been great fun... Today our group of Dailyites is having dinner at the Canaletto. These dinners are always fun because they are very nice and fun people 😉. As @Cruising-along, Carolyn said, Komodo island was cool to see but was hot, hot, hot! One and done for me. Currently it is Friday, Feb 9th at 11:50 am. The time differences are a challenge to keep up with though I think I have a bit of a mush brain after being on a nice cruise for a month! No real responsibilities and people who take care of us. Again the memes made me LOL, probably getting looks from other passengers. 😜 Take good care everyone. Safe travels to all traveling. Prayers for everyone especially those with challenges 🙏. Also, my thanks to all contributors. Caron
