In my experience, you have to beware of ebay pin deals. They are often counterfeit. It's best to buy and trade in person.

This is a fun conversation. It was settled in the 1930's.
"...Sailing between the UK and India, certain passengers would request ‘port out, starboard home’, or POSH – a way to protect themselves from the high heats of the sun and take advantage of the cool breezes. ...So which is best? Port or Starboard? Well, it all depends on the itinerary." https://www.bolsovercruiseclub.com/blog/should-i-book-a-port-or-starboard-cabin/
For a sailing between the US east coast to Europe or England, if your goal is to have a cooler cabin with less sun, think POSH (port out starboard home). If your goal is to have a warmer cabin with lots of sun, think SOPH (starboard out port home).
It's not about opinion or anything other than science. The sun runs along the equator (roughly) and that's on the right (starboard) side of a ship when it is travelling eastward. I stumbled into this conversation and couldn't believe the large numbers of confused replies. :D
Has anyone seen their refund for cancelled Disney sailings?
in Disney Cruise Line
Posted
My refund turned into a nightmare of monstrous proportions. Disney says they are required to refund to the original card "by law".
Over the months, I paid $200 each 2 weeks until the cruise was paid in full. I started with the 20% deposit about 14 months before the cruise. Over those months, I paid with 3 different credit cards. One of those accounts had been closed. Tracking down the money took more than a month.
Some of it had been refunded to a card with a zero balance. That bank took 2 weeks to send the money to me. They wanted me to leave it on account and just spend it down.
Most of it had been refunded to a debit card with my bank. Only thing is, that card had been set aside and not used for a long time. Disney would tell me the last 4 digits of the card but had no idea which bank it was on. It took 10 hours of phone calls with DCL to finely figure out where the money went.
Some of it had been refunded to a credit card with another bank that had a balance so it was just applied.
Here's a warning. If you pay with a gift card, keep the card. If they refund to a gift card and you have since thrown it away, you are just out of luck.
