  1. Why wait for something to happen? could be used to justify pretty much anything. I share your concern about the proliferation of guns and if you want to repeal the second amendment I'm with you but that wasn't quite where I was going I'm not saying don't be cautious, I'm saying don't cancel your hotel booking If nothing happened to a resident in 35 years and a frequent visitor like me, I think a tourist has high probability of being fine for 2 days, statistically speaking
  2. I'm sorry to hear that but I have to ask, in 35 years has anything ever happened to you there?
  3. The cost of it being cheap I guess. Also pent up demand as that line was shut down for a couple years during the pandemic and only somewhat recently re-opened
  4. I go to Seattle all the time, never feel unsafe and never seen or heard a shooting
  5. The train is lovely and you can upgrade to business class for cheap
  6. The Amtrak train is a lovely trip and spacious smooth ride but doesn't run frequently but that would be my choice
  7. Make sure you're aware of the difference between an adapter and a converter and when you need which
  8. My friend had a really rough time of it on our first transatlantic back in November but thankfully we brought along something that made him feel fine in less than 2 minutes
  9. Drop off the car in Paris, take the Chunnel to London, spend some time in London before going to Southampton
  10. I sailed on the Venezia and there was none of that In my experience it depends on the time of year and departure port For example Spring Break is a VERY different crowd from pretty much the entire rest of the year And sailing out of Texas there seems to be a very different crowd from any other departure port in my experience
  11. On your boarding pass? Your boarding pass after online checkin should be Gold but on the rest of the website it will show you as Red until after your Gold cruise. If the boarding pass or your S&S card are wrong go to Guest Services and they can sort it out pretty quick
  12. Since you're getting your phone ready may I also recommend downloading offline maps of the ports you're headed to? You never know when you might need it 😉
  13. I did 27 days in Europe with only carryon, I didn't even find it challenging From the cruising experience I recently did a 15 day transatlantic cruise and it was no issue
  14. It sounds like you may be over-packing on the cold weather clothes a little. In August a full-zip fleece will probably be sufficient most of the time
  15. My friend gets really bad sea sickness. We tried everything, ideal room placement in terms of midships and deck, all the things they tell you to eat, all the patches and in the end none of it made much of a difference until he found this TENS device, now it doesn't matter where on the ship we book. If there's any chance it offers relief it could be worth a try, they say it works for 85% of people...
  16. My friend tried everything and nothing gave him relief until he discovered this TENS wristband...
  17. The one I review in the video is cruise compliant, I've taken it on tons of cruises so it's safe option
  18. Uber is cheaper than a cab/taxi but the real trick to save even more is to book it in advance if you can Here's a breakdown of the costs I encountered in December
  19. The train from Seattle to Vancouver is lovely and relatively inexpensive, it just doesn't run very frequently but if the times work for you it could be a good option
  20. "Inexpensive" means different things to different people A full zip fleece would come in very handy if you know their sizes and it's within your budget Alternatively an outlet extender could be a lifesaver...
  21. If the crowds get to be too much a visit to the hidden decks or the hot tubs on Deck 5 might offer a nice reprieve that isn't just going back to your stateroom
  22. Man, that flag is almost always out for repairs these days
  23. There's a boardwalk with WiFi and shopping and food and a water fountain show all right by the ship - also a huge Mexican flag
