It realizes if you are using a US credit card and does not require a pin.

Captain Toni left Anthem today. I think the new captain is Captain Srecko.

Move boarding pass to Google Wallet?

I noticed that also, but someone else commented that only the bar code matters, so just make sure that shows in the screen shot. -

What do Loyal Royal Cruisers think of MSC?
mets07 replied to artvlay's topic in Royal Caribbean International
We sailed on MSC once (Meraviglia) in a balcony cabin and with Aurea experience. The "anytime dining" was truly anytime for us and worked beautifully. There was some excellent live music. The ship was beautiful. Aurea included access to the thermal spa, which was nice. We did not enjoy the buffet. It was extremely linear in nature and we found the food of average quality. The drink dispensers in the buffet were often not working or supplies e.g. tea bags not available or depleted and not replaced/maintained. Brooklyn was not as convenient or easily accessible a departure point as Bayonne NJ or NYC. However, your opinion on that might vary depending on where you live. -
CoCo Cay has some lovely spots. And you do not need to spend anything for chairs, umbrella, food. For example, go to South Beach area, go far left or right on the beach for more quiet. We have found that if you are there late afternoon, most people have already gotten back on the ship and you have the place to yourself. Or get off the ship very early for same... If you have young children/grandchildren (approx 7 and under), no need to pay for the "thrill park." Plenty of other options including "galleon" ship, splashaway/slide area, pools, beaches. OP, you might be fine also depending on your 8 your old grandchild's interests. Happy cruising.

@Sea Dog I have used the cream under the generic name. It causes your skin to get all red and irritated. It looks awful but does go away after treatment -- in my case it was supposed to be used for a couple weeks. I have used it on my forehead and also my lips (ouch - that was hard to take). The idea is to kill pre-cancerous cells/stuff.

Bar hopping in Nashville is fun. Lots of country stars have bar/restaurants and then there are the famous ones such as Tootsies. Check out Assembly Hall for a lot of food / restaurant options. Hotels are expensive, but best to stay in/near downtown if you can especially for one night, just for convenience. Enjoy! 🎶 🎸

We were there earlier this month and confirm we purchased the booklet at the ferry terminal at Hamilton. Credit card required.

Wonder OTS Deck 11 or 12??
mets07 replied to Strawbry Shrtcake's topic in Royal Caribbean International
We prefer mid-ship. I looked at the Wonder deck plan and I don't think it would make too much difference if you were on 11 or 12. I think I would personally lean towards 11. I would just suggest you make sure there are staterooms above and below the one you are booking. And consider whether you would prefer forward, mid, or aft of the ship. Enjoy your cruise! -
High train fare London to Southampton
mets07 replied to Ramblin Wreck Cruiser's topic in British Isles/Western Europe
Can someone give me an idea of approximately how much it costs if we walk up and pay for Waterloo to Southampton train day of cruise? July 2024. Thank you. -
They did not give us anything additional on board (Eclipse). If you chose an item beyond the basic ones included, they would charge the extra and give you the discount on that (and then add a service charge). Interesting. In any case, we enjoyed it. I don't care if we can experience hot glass somewhere near my home, it was just the fun of doing it on a ship.

Continuation of a few more photos from our Celebrity Eclipse cruise... Day 2 of Bermuda. We took the ferry to St. George. We then proceeded on one of our long walks... above is Tobacco Bay ... Day 3 of Bermuda. Bus to Somerset Bridge. Then walked the Bermuda Railway Trail to Gibbs Lighthouse. Lighthouse was beautiful but might need a paint touch-up! Bermuda is really a wonderful place with gorgeous water and views .... and very kind people.
