  1. Considering it comes from the Alsace-Lorraine city of Strasburg (a city that sits directly on the modern German/French border), in a region that was seized by France (Louis XIII) in the 17th century and it's occupation of a largely German speaking population was one of the causes of WW1, Kronenbourg is as much (if not more) a German beer.

  3. Tell Bucky that there is no such thing as a decent French beer - but they do have some good Italian brandsšŸ˜‡šŸ»
  4. Never say never. We started out doing a 3 night cruise a long time ago, and quickly graduated to two 7 night cruises a year and eventually 4 a year. Now we only do B2B or B2B2B cruises - it is addictivešŸ˜‡
  5. Windy is what the cruise ships use while at sea as well.
  6. I always had a ā€œgo bagā€ in the trunk of my car with all my gear because there were occasions when the ā€œcallā€ came from the corner suite that I had a flight to (insert destination) in an hour and there was no time to get home to pack.
  7. Just about half that - we average about 95-100 days a year depending on ships and itineraries.
  8. Upside - took me all over the world and met some fascinating people along the way; downside - I averaged ~200 days a year either in hotels or airports.
  9. As a hobby, probably, but it was how I made my living for almost 30 yearsšŸ˜‡

  11. Unfortunately, there are no free drinks for any loyalty level during happy hour in either the Suite Lounge or the Crown Lounge. That perk was eliminated a few years ago.
  12. They donā€™t own it, but they footed most of the cost to build it.šŸ˜‡
  13. The article I posted this morning specifically talked about the situation surrounding the Cap Haitien airport, which is where the evacuations were supposed to be staged. The link that I posted has been updated (apparently the situation throughout Haiti is very fluid), and the sentence you quoted was not in the original article.
