There are numbers on the door. Just jot down the number and deck on a piece of paper and keep those bit of junk off of the doors.
Ask Hal if they like stuff on the outside of the door. You know what they will say.

it can look really tacky. I am sure that Hal would prefer if cruisers didn't do this.
People don't seem to do it on their hotel room doors.

In Europe we pick up a baguette from a bakery, find a deli for pate and cheese. Then of course we have to find wine and maybe a few grapes. Once we are all prepared, we go to a local park for lunch.

I have a dam shirt that says '' keep calm and cruise on''.
Its wearing well and is often a topic of conversation at gym class. My other dam shirt is ''Seas the day''

We heard that it was Darin Bowland who will be The Master of the NS. I believe that he is already with the ship.

One big advantage that Hal has over the others, is that there is a closing glass roof over the pool.
That space is wonderful on a cooler or wetter day.

I didn't know that people still bothered with postcards.

The K Dam does it best, because it has a proper kitchen area and its more hands on.
The other ships vary and often, we have been in the Queens lounge. Its a small group and operates most days and a variety of culinary delights. We have had fun with it and my husband had a chance to learn new things.
We have photos of his results, all good, edible and nothing burned.
He's made salmon wellington, choux pastry puffs, apricots dessert etc.

If I tell you, it wouldn't be a secrett

Christenings have become less of an event. Traditionally, there was an event and champagne across the hull prior to her first voyage.
Now, it is weeks or months later. More of a sales job really.

Many times there is a spare button on the shirt hem of the shirt.
Pack a sewing kit. If you have the button, you can sew it back on.
I sew mine on too and my husband would do a good job as well.
We try to cope on our own, as we know how busy the cabin stewards are.

We always pre book all the specialty restaurants including SDM. Its been tricky getting 50% reimbursed or 100%, but we always get it back. We are persistent and smile a lot, as we explain to the front office.

I forget what port we missed, but went to Sarande in Albania instead. The locals were not used to having a lot of cruise ships visit and we had a wonderful few hours in port.

Yes. Its a ship. They creak, vibrate and have various other funny noises. it can be annoying, but beats staying home.

Over many years, we have had 2 wheels and 4 wheels and various brands. Its just luck, if your suitcase survives baggage handlers, porters etc. A good few suitcases have had major dents too, as they toss them around.

It's impossible to know what other people will like.

Your Sister won't mind if you forget a thing or 2. I bet that the only important part of her list, is You.

Can't they review videos from all the onboard cameras which I believe provide a view along all the outside decks?
The SSM incident does have video. Not available to us, but the news piece said that cameras caught the incident.

There is some confusion here. Were there 2 similar incidents?
A man of same age fell or jumped from a balcony at about 4am in the same area a few days ago.
The ship was The seven Seas mariner, on her way to Victoria and onto Vancouver.

That's hilarious. It must be a joke to post a long packing list. We are all different and have different ideas on what to pack.
-
Its an airport. Don't we all know by now that there can be delays. That's why we are advised to get there early.

I have shared this before......but their cream puffs were amazing......:)
That's just cruel to post that wonderful photo. Its nearly 4 months until my next chocolate puff.

Nothing works perfectly all the time and travel can certainly be frustrating. Coping with a shortage of porters etc, is one of the things that we have to put up with.
