Before the pandemic, I remember both $1.95 and $2.95 being mentioned. I only remember one price being mentioned on 9/1/22.

I think the server on the Radiance said $2.95 on 9/1/22.

Afternoon Tea took place on the Radiance on 9/1/22. It was a 4 day cruise.

I didn't see it happen, but I saw someone standing next to the claw machine unwrapping a $100 bundle on the Radiance on the first day(8/29/22) before sail away.

This includes the free VIFP water. I refused to pay tax on a free item, so I got it the next day.

Was that the photo package they raffle off during the port talk?

At least some posts on his page aren't real. I posted a response on Cruise Critic to something someone else posted. A bit of the OP was combined with my comment and was then posted on his page not long after. The post on his page was mostly my comment. I didn't post on his page. Someone made that post up to get a rise out of people. It worked. I stopped reading his response posts after that. I only rarely go to his page now to see what he has been told he could say about any potential change/new policy that gets talked about here.

I remember each card is registered to a person when they buy it(by name and I think a unique code). All they have to do is randomly choose a code and then look up who has that card so they can display that name on the screen.

What was the chaos? 11:00am and later is what usually(if not always) happens.

When I have arrived before boarding starts, the earliest boarding start time I have ever experienced out of New Orleans is 11:15am. This goes for both the Glory and Valor.

It was $4.50 on the Freedom on 1/22/22. $2 is a 44.4% increase in at most five and a half months.

I was in a port side oceanview cabin on the Inspiration in August 2016. The port side never faced the port in Catalina. I could tell this even when I wasn't on the ship. I could see the ship from the shore and from the ziplining excursion. Starboard was always facing the port.

My mom was born in the 50s in Iowa. Her official birth certificate looks like a folded index card. It has all of the required information on it. If my mom were to request an additional copy today, it would be the more common 8.5x11 piece of paper. She used her index card birth certificate successfully on 6/15/02 on a cruise out of Tampa. She has used a passport on all of her subsequent cruises.

From my experience, the seasoning is different. November and December 2021 on the Valor were blander than December 2019. The Freedom in January 2022 was only a little bit better.

I have brought just a 22" Jansport Boost backpack with three major compartments and two minor compartments for a 4 day on the Triumph 2/9/17, 7 day on the Glory 12/1/19, 5 day on the Valor 12/30/19, 5 day on the Valor 11/29/21, and a 4 day on the Valor 12/23/21. I took a 2 hour Greyhound to New Orleans and walked from Union Passenger Terminal(2/9/17), Canal at St Charles(12/1/19, 12/30/19), and St Charles at Poydras(11/29/21, 12/23/21). On the 7 day cruise, with the aid of a compression packing cube and rolling my clothes, I was able to fit in the main compartment: 7 2X t-shirts, 1 pair of size 14 jeans, 1 pair of 2X yoga pants, 1 3-piece swimsuit(pants, zipper vest with built in support bra, and mesh back undershirt), 1 2X dressy top, 1 2X coordinating dressy cardigan, 1 pair of black jeans(?), socks, bras, and underwear, in addition to what I was wearing. I only brought the ASICS sneakers I was wearing. I was wearing a jacket with inside pockets. I had my passport, S8, boarding pass, cash for onboard and in port, and metal card wallet in those pockets. In the outer compartment, I had a cord organizer with all of the cords and wall plugs needed for my electronics, S7, portable battery charger(10,000 mAh), pen, mechanical pencil, lead, and extra hair elastics. I had a Quirky extension cord in the bottom compartment. I had a portable battery brick(26,800 mAh) and an iPad 2 in the main compartment. In the middle compartment, I had two paddle hairbrushes, a comb, two aerosol cans of Veet shaving cream, solid deodorant stick, and a 1 quart heavy plastic bag with an actual zipper(not Ziploc) with travel size toiletries with space left over. There was also a gallon size bag with a pill organizer, one pill bottle, extra contacts, contacts case, travel size contact solution, small bottle of Aleve, and small bottle of fexofenadine in that compartment.
