Hi 🙂

you'll like need to have Carnival or a travel agent run your Vigo numbers along with the promo and your preferred sailing to see exactly what may apply. Good luck!

Do some research and learn some facts.

 

Sargassum provides  shelter and food for many species of sea life.  It would be an ecological disaster if it was gone.

 

 

You mean like this research which finds that this particular Sargassum event is creating dead zones in the ocean? 
https://www.fau.edu/newsdesk/articles/nitrogen-seaweed-study.php

 

"Using a unique historical baseline from the 1980s and comparing it to samples collected since 2010, researchers from Florida Atlantic University’s Harbor Branch Oceanographic Institute and collaborators have discovered dramatic changes in the chemistry and composition of Sargassum, transforming this vibrant living organism into a toxic “dead zone.”

Their findings, published in Nature Communications, suggest that increased nitrogen availability from natural and anthropogenic sources, including sewage, is supporting blooms of Sargassum and turning a critical nursery habitat into harmful algal blooms with catastrophic impacts on coastal ecosystems, economies, and human health. Globally, harmful algal blooms are related to increased nutrient pollution."

I am on the Venezia's maiden voyage out of Barcelona. I'll let you know during that cruise 🙂

Every time

Three weeks ago, no issues and walked on. No sniffing.

 

Personally, while many of you think this is about weed, I disagree. Weed doesn't make people combative and unruly.

 

I think this is more about what we don't see, oxys, fentynal and heroin. I am willing to bet, they have a nice supply of Naxalone onboard and OD's are a real issue we do not see. It's also to stop trafficking.

 

"But they sniff us going out, not coming back"

 

Residue. If you're doing it now, you've likely done it before, so you're have residue on your bags and more. It also makes you more paranoid about trying to bring it back.

 

 

You're absolutely correct. Random searches of people getting OFF the ship has drastically increased, as the real concern is trafficking contraband INTO the US. 

I am booked on that TA, sailing with my husband and 3.5 yo. We are SO excited!!

Unless it's designated a Journeys cruise there most likely be very few or non at all. We were planning our bucket list transatlantic cruise and land vacation from London on the  Jubilee but it got cancelled. A bummer. We also got Mardi Gras first two US sailings cancelled. Looks like the cruise gods don't want us to try the excel class ship. As for the smaller ships they are our favorite, sailed quite a few including 3 times on the Miracle with another coming up this April.

. 

The TA that the OP is chatting about is a Journies cruise. 

The Miracle is a great ship. I sailed get twice last year in an Aft suite and booked her again for a sailing over Labor Day weekend. I love that ship and love sailing out of San Francisco!!

My OBC for my TA was credited very quickly! Within 48 hours. 

I found and posted about this job listing several weeks ago. 

Equally interested were the trademark filings for NFT services tied to the loyalty which were filed soon after the job posting. I found the trademarks while researching a new business to start.

Unfortunately the Lombard Motor Inn was sold by the group and is now a hostel from the Samesun Group.

Try the "Lombard hotels", the Cow Hollow Inn and its sister properties, the Chelsea Inn, the Coventry Inn and Columbus Motor Inn.

The Lombard Motor Inn is one of my favorites 

The hardest part was finding out how to get to the MDR.

I always find these threads interesting.  

Me too but then again, I also retired earlier than most.

I'm 51 with a 3 yo who has more cruise days than many on this board. lol 🙂

Thank you. Have a wonderful time. At least we did this exact cruise Feb 28th but only had 1100 on board! So we will return in future.  I did a
If anyone is doing the golf cart rental on Catalina, I attached our rental map. To save time, skip the left yellow that goes up to botanical gardens.

The botanical gardens are one of my favorite parts of Catalina! We bring a lunch and hike the gardens. There is a BEAUTIFUL view up a short hill, with gorgeous mosaic work. 

Ugh, I never wear sundresses without pockets. 
Team pockets.

I just got off the Radiance this morning, cruising with my almost 3 YO. We had a GREAT time!! No, I'm not upset that Camp Carnival is closed. 

The story sounds very very fishy.

Wow. So now my mom who grew up in the 40s and 50s is ignorant, flippant, and ugly according to you.

If she used ugly language, then yes.

Just returned from a cruise off Paradise on Dec. 10. I have been on many cruises but this disembarkation was horrible. No information on the tv the day before. No information about where to wait. Could not hear them calling the different floors. It was the worst I have ever seen.....total chaos!!!!

That's so odd.

I use a Vera Bradley zip id pouch at the bottom of my lanyard. It holds my s&s card along with my id and some 1's for tipping.

How do you see these casino rates? Is it a special rate that is emailed to you, or sonething you see when you are logged in?

What is a pc3 casino fare?

With 1600 photographs you're not leaving anything (wait for it) to the Imagination.

 

 

:D

+10 for the pun!
