  1. Belize is arguably one of the best Dive stops in the world but the mass market snorkel trips are designed for optimum timing NOT best snorkeling --I agree with what was said before about Cozumel--not at all good for snorkel--great if you dive the wall but otherwise any of the other ports would be better

  2. Just got an email for my upcoming cruise for 20% off select Spa Treatments if anyone is interested. The code is VSPA20 and expires 2/17/18. Thought I would pass it on. Here are the details:

     

    *Offer good on new online spa orders for qualifying treatments at Carnival.com during the promotional period (02/11/18 - 02/17/18). May not be combined with other offers. Limited availability. Acupuncture, Botox, Medispa, Dysport, Restylane and Thermage treatments are not eligible for this promotion.

     

     

    Thank you very much-- It worked!!!

  3. I didn't think it was anymore crowded than other ships we've sailed on, it only seemed that way because the ship's layout itself isn't conducive to alot of people.

     

    I forgot to mention how SLOOOOOOWWWWWW the elevators are AND how they shoved fake news CNN down our throats[/quote

     

    Fake news CNN??? Why did you have to go there? You were doing so well.................................thank you for playing, we have some lovely parting gifts for contestant mrsd2fan

  4. We love San Juan to start a cruise but the flights are a little more--if you book 4 months out on SW it would be 226 each way or 452 RT--not sure what costs are to FL are from MSP. Also from San Juan you are already deep in the Caribbean so many more interesting stops are available. But in the end it never sucks to be on cruise ship no matter where you board

  5. Don't forget the Seabourn Spirit that got hit by a RPG off the Somilian Coast back in 2005:

    DW and I always take our own personal security very seriously - see attached.

     

    Of course the ultimate deterent would be to have dear MiL onboard, but she is on permanent loan to Loch Ness.

     

    You really seemed to age between the 2 "incidents"--but you seem like perfect cruise companions!!!

  6. I have visited USA at least once every year for the last 30 odd years and never had a problem with the 2 pack of tablets I take. They just sit in my hand luggage and have never been mentioned. You may just be unlucky and find some jobsworth so your question is quite valid and I am not sure I know the answer.

    The repeat tearoff sheet may be of some assistance if you were unluky but technically is not what they request.

     

    As an aside on my Muse cruise in December we all had to appear in front of homeland security on arrival at Key West having completed a form. The officer we saw said himself that the forms were a waste of time and we were quickly waved through having been given the tearoff slip from it to hand in when we flew out of USA. At the airport the customs officer waived me through and returned both the passport and the tearoff card which said I should hand in when I left the country. I said dont you want this and he just shrugged and said he did not know what it was!

     

    I shall continue to carry one as I have done and would not worry about it too much. These things are only there to enforce if they are given reason to and i am daft enough to think that common sense will be applied.

     

    I am a transplant recipient (2009) and otherwise a very active and healthy 68 yo male. I travel with weekly pill dispensers (4 areas a day of pills) and take somewhere between 30 and 40 pills per day. All the pills are in 1 or 2 full weekly dispensers dispensing 4 groups per day (no original bottles and no prescriptions)-- I have never been questioned by anyone ever on the meds. I keep a weeks worth in my briefcase and the rest in my suitcase--I agree fully with the above statement

  7. Let's not generalize. Lower prices or aggressive marketing does not necessarily mean 'lower class' or boorish.I have met many well heeled travelers on Seabourn whose manner, style and demeanor is terrible. To equate money with class is out of date, discriminatory and the height of snobbery. Everyone likes to get a good deal on a cruise and just because you paid 'full boat,' hardly means you're full of style. That sounds like a lot of hot ballast air to me.

     

    Very well said-- agree wholeheartedly
