  1. Our first cruise in many years was on this ship. Enjoyed the lack of smoke smell. I read that a significant part of the reason the non smoking policy was dropped was that casino and bar revenue was too low.
  2. Sometimes it pays to read a newspaper article. Search on “web sites' reverse auctions cruises”
  3. Check here, https://www.t-mobile.com/support/coverage/international-roaming-checklist
  4. Back when I worked with people with disabilities there was a word often used to describe people without disabilities, TAB. Temporarily able bodied.
  5. Here's one to consider. https://visitworldheritage.com/en/eu/rheinisches-landesmuseum-trier-archaeological-museum/7848fdcd-c7d4-408b-a74a-d9c3b4709c83
  6. The ship’s WiFi should be available whenever you are aboard. When you are in towns you can find a lot of hotspots. Assuming you have the ability to use WiFi for voice, there may not be a need to activate an international plan. As an aside to people who have this same question, T-Mobile’s regular plans include free data and messaging and voice is $0.25/minute. We switched carriers to them several years ago and only wish we had done so years earlier.
  7. Just be aware that some of these TAs charge a non refundable “agency fee” and keep it if you cancel. Others charge a “ booking fee” over and above the cruise fare.
  8. DD’s roommate suffered appendicitis on a spring break trip to Punta Cana. Local clinic wanted a sizable deposit. As they had been bargaining with beach vendors for a few days, they decided to try bargaining with the clinic. It worked.

    Egypt

    Much depends on what company you tour with. We toured Egypt in December. I was reluctant, then decided to go as we knew, through our experience and that of others, that they responded well to emergencies. That fact led us to decide to travel.
  10. It was a considerable elevation gain from the river (just visible in background) up to the Chateau.
  11. Those that appreciate Impressionism might want to make a trip to Philly this summer. https://press.philamuseum.org/mary-cassatt-at-work/#:~:text=Mary Cassatt at Work opens,by a fully illustrated catalogue. In addition they have a good collection of other impressionists. https://philamuseum.org/collection/curated/impressionism If that doesn’t provide your fill of Impressionism, try https://collection.barnesfoundation.org
  12. Is that really the name of the bridge? 😉 I thought maybe it was called that because of all the tourists with selfie sticks and posing. 😎🤦🏻‍♂️
  13. For those who aren’t aware, the ones at l’Orangerie are in the huge category.
  14. Did they use one of things manure spreader gizmos that GIs in Germany called Schitzenschipzers? 😉
  15. The flat level places in Eze were few and far between. The cafes and restaurants were crowded. But we enjoyed the visit and the views from Jardin d’Eze were incredible. We are glad we went (via bus from Nice).
