H2Osign

We arrived at the port around 2 pm. I do remember that we arrived at the same time as the train, as well as everyone else. It was a very crowded and rude boarding experience. There's no avoiding it, and priority didn't seem to matter, so just an fyi. If you're handicapped you will be taken into a much shorter queue. The coaches to the train didn't go much better. Thankfully everyone has a reserved seat on the train. If they're still trying to sell the coffee mugs and saying you can get coffee at the resort for free - it's a scam!

1) it took over 2 weeks from our last cruise. When I called to ask about it, I was told the ship had not yet sent over what was needed. 2) provided you did book that b2b as 2 separate bookings and your cruise days would be enough to push you over, then yes, you should be able to have your status updated during that second week.

I use a small plug in LED night light I bought from IKEA. Off during the day, on at night. It’s not too bright, when on, and no need for batteries or charge cable. Also, you can position the light to shine up, down, left or right - in other words, not in your eyes. It’s about the size of a golf ball, so not too big either.

I applied and was verified for the AARP OBC. I notified my agent a few days later that 4 star and above have been getting their OBC on current bookings. It took her a few days to get around to it, but she did get me an additional $200 OBC on our 28 day AK cruise for next year. I have a different agent for our 42 day Asia cruise, who will check into this for that cruise. It starts late December, 2024. On a side bar, Resolutions Dept came through for me, with regards to the refer a friend program. No fault of ours, actually it was the agent, that this was not applied to our last cruise. Bounced around on phone until I was connected to the correct department, and they made the exception and applied to next cruise.
