I will admit, that at times I get a inside cabin to save costs, but this time I sprung for a balcony in case we have a extended stay on the ship 🙂

Leaving on the 7th out of Long Beach.  No worries on my side, I plan on enjoying my vacation.

Maybe if my cruise was leaving in 4 to 6 weeks from now, I would change my tune or wait a few weeks to decide the impact to the US.  But as of today, yep I am cruising.

This is a interesting link to follow.  A US passenger on the Princess cruise that is quarantined, is giving a day by day look into his experience on the ship while being quarantined. 

I’m a US citizen aboard the Diamond Princess quarantined off the coast of Yokohama, Japan. AMA

Saw on the local Los Angeles news this morning (for the Carnival Long Beach port):

The only precautions that are in place today is  you will not be able to board if you have been to China in the last 14 days.

Took a few cruises with just my kid and I, even though I had the documentation from my wife, just in case, nobody has ever asked me for the document.

I used to order the soda package, but on my last few cruises, I have just been bringing on my own 12 pack of Diet Coke.  The 12 pack easily lasts a 7 day cruise.  Ever since I changed to bringing in my own drinks I prefer it this way and dont ever plan on buying the bubbly package again.

USB fan that I plug into my external battery pack. During the day I charge my battery pack(same pack people use to charge their phones). Then at night, since there is no plug next to my bed. I plug my small USB fan into my battery pack and it gives me a little fan all night.

Thanks for the review. My family and I are boarding the Glory this Saturday, and we also have a boarding time at 1:00PM, so thanks for the heads up on the embarkation timeframe.

yes, you can get fries dumped in cheese. Just go to the grill and get fries from them. Next to the tortilla chips will be nacho cheese sauce. Dump the sauce on your fries, then go inside to the buffet and load some bacon bits or other toppings from the salad bar.

Thank you all for the feedback

I am going on a cruise with my 5 year old, however, my wife cant make it. As the father of the child, will I need a note from my wife stating that she gives permission for me to travel with our child without her. I will have the standard passport for me and my childs birth certificate stating I am the father.

We are leaving out of LA and heading to the Mexican Riviera.
