  1. If you have the internet package you don't even need an iphone or wifi calling, just use WhatsApp.
  2. My sister has cruised in NCL single cabins and really liked it.
  3. ‘Look, those are the bankers’ and brokers’ yachts.’ ‘Where are the customers’ yachts?’ asked the naive visitor.”
  4. That's an awful lot of words to justify . . . something. But since you put it in big letters . . .
  5. One would think that someone who would do this would have the foresight to carry cash.
  6. And those are the ones that give you Don Perignon champagne for attending.
  7. I've never paid more for booking with a TA than I would have with the cruise line, and I've always managed to pay less, in price or added perks, by booking with a TA. Since all I'm looking for is a good price, and I require no planning advice or handholding, I like to use services where TAs bid for my business competitively.
  8. Sounds like a merit-based system morphed, over time, into a participation trophy philosophy.
  9. You don't know how many message boards your father was on in 1913?? I never met the man but I can confidentially say that it was the same number of cell phone calls he made in 1913.
  10. That is YOUR preference. Others have other preferences. Hard to have an "as a rule" for such a relatively large, diverse group of people.
  11. And in the digital age of on-line reviews, fakery in references is a risk.
  12. I'm likely done with cruising, but the only things I'd consider is MSC in the Yacht Club or a Viking river cruise in Europe.
  13. And at the bottom it listed similar studies indicating the bands do reduce motion sickness.
  14. All the more reason to build to protect against them?
  15. Isn't it a bit presumptuous to shield people from a reality they would want to know about and let them assess the risks and dangers for themselves?
  16. ~8,000 per person, American Queen 14 day trip the length of the Mississipi, MN to NOLA. That was just the cruise cost. Another grand, or so, for airfare.
  17. Unless you want to eat right after a dip in the pool without changing.
  18. If you are in MSC's Yacht Club there is a small outdoor buffet on the Yacht Club pool deck than runs most of every day including a chef making a special dish at lunchtime.
  19. Let them be themselves, not who YOU want them to be.
  20. We'd have to yell really really loud considering our geographic dispersion.
  21. The QR trend was greatly accelerated because of the difficulties in sanitizing physical menus when restaurants started re-opening.
