I had a terrible turn around on my last cruise out of Miami. We were walked through customs and proceeded down the hall towards the ship when some macho security guard decided to strut his stuff. He told us to stop and we stood there for close to 30 minutes. There were 48 of us and an elderly lady in the group. Someone had to go get a chair for her to sit down on. They were letting diamonds and platinums on before us. Then once back on the ship we had to the do the muster drill all over again. I'm sure some maritime laws changed in those 8 days I was at sea.

Going to Perissa while in Santorini. Would like to go down to the beach area in Perissa but not sure where we should go. 4 senior ladies looking for some lounge chairs, with shade on the beach near a restaurant so we can grab some lunch. We would like to get in a quick swim as well. Which area would you go to and why? Thanks!!

I just want to confirm that with purchasing the WIFI package on the ship, I can load this to my tablet. Correct? Will I be able to log in to the hub app on both my phone and tablet? But just us WIFI on the tablet. Thanks!

I've done quite a few B2B's. sadly not every port is consistent. Some ports you will get off the ship, go through customs and then escorted back on the ship. Some ports, you will sit in a lounge, they scan your old sign and said card to remove you off the ship and then give you your new S&S card and you're on your way. Some ships used to take a photo of you and your mimosa. Not anymore. I guess you get a coupon for a free drink now.

I do have Venmo. will need to check with the other ladies. great idea! But we all will need data in Europe in order to do this....correct??

We are 4 ladies, all from different families and when we go out to eat in Italy or Greece, looking for advice on how to pay our share of the bill. We really don't want everyone to bring along cash or have to ask the server to write 4 separate checks. Has anyone else any experience with this situation? TIA

Going on the Venezia in November for 20 days!! No launderettes on this ship. I am platinum but afraid to send my laundry out. At home I wash everything in cold water so I'm afraid they will shrink my clothes. For those that send out laundry, do you normally wash at home in hot water? I'm ok with sending out underwear and socks but not shirts or pants.

Thanks everyone!! Good to know I won't be wasting my time looking for a stamp.

Going on a Mediterranean cruise. Does anyone know if the Greece ports have a place to get your passport stamped? Santorini, Athens, Turkey

Do any of the islands have a spot where you can get your passport stamped? TIA

I found an awesome jersey type shirt that says Half Moon Cay on it. So glad I did some shopping here!!

Thank you rg123.

Thanks everyone for your valuable input. I have absorbed it all and hopefully I'm able to make the right decisions when I get to the airport.

Excellent!! Thank you for sharing this!!

F.Y.I. Found the answer on Tripadivsor. There are restrooms and showers available on the beach.
