But if people around here never complained before experiencing a change in service on a cruise line CC's total post count wouldn't be 50M, it would be around 50. 😉

First thing. I have no idea if you require notarized letters or not. Second thing. I applaud your courage to bring two 18 YO adolescence homo sapiens on a cruise with you. Good luck - We'll all be preying for you! 😁

Just identify yourselves to the gate agent as Boris and Liz. Say you've both had a bad past year and see if they'll take pity on you. 😀 😉 Psst. That's Boris Johnson and Liz Truss for our American friends on here on CC. 😊

Humanity has not gotten any more self involved. As a species, we've always been a self-involved bunch of A-holes. We just have better technology to express our self-involvedness today. If Adam and Eve had Bluetooth speakers back in that garden, they'd have been blasting something on them, ticking off all the other animals, rather than picking that apple. 😉 Prey for some respectful folks on your cruise but pack some ear plugs! 😁

Cruise shore excursions are like a box of chocolates, you never know what you're going to get. 😉

Yikes! Do they include 2 bottles of Champagne with that?

LOL. "On the Road Again" needs double full volume! Gotta love Willie!

Chill @DaKahuna, this duplication stuff happens around here. The official Mods will rectify it soon enough. BTW. turn down those Bluetooth speakers of yours while you're on your balcony . 🔊 😁

That's $5 more than anyone ever paid me to play hockey! 😉

I think her pre-politics career gave her the skills to get her elbows out (Gordie Howe style) in the male dominated world of politics! 😁

Former Mayor of Mississauga, Hazel McCallion passed away this morning. Residents of Heaven, hang on tight, there's a Hurricane coming your way! https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/toronto/hazel-mccallion-dead-at-101-1.6730009 Yes, this has nothing to do with cruising and I don't even live in Mississauga. But we live close by and Mrs. Dawg and i have been honoured to have met Hazel on many occasions over the years. "Think like a man, act like a lady and work like a dog." She was a great Lady - yes with a capital L.

Well there you go, obviously the Cruise Line likes @PapaGoose way more than they like you! Criminy, I just tried it and they wanted to charge me $6,565.10 for USD $500.

😁 My Dad grew in Montreal and he was taught lots of interesting 'language' back growing up. Of course being Montreal, his interesting 'language' was in both official languages! 😱

My dad used to say it a bit differently. "better than a puck in the n*ts." 🏒 🥜 😱

👼Well they say; "It's better to give than to receive."

Only 60ish? Heck you really are a kid! 😁 I 'retired' several years ago from the investment industry and now I'm teaching at University part-time too keep me busy. Mrs. Dawg has no plans to retire anytime soon and there's just so much golf a guy can play. 🏌️‍♂️

@PapaGoose welcome to CC! It's sure nice to have young people joining cruising and us here at cruise critic. Most outsiders believe cruising is just for Oldtimers like @Fouremco and me. But your daddy's station wagon must have been a classic by the time you were shopping at par in Buffalo in 2011. 😁 Yep, it wasn't that long ago we were at par with the greenback. But I must agree with @Fouremco that if you get a geed exchange rate on the USD through a cruise line keep it in USD in a USD bank account for future travels. Enjoy your future cruising, kid! 😉

Even better, you can withdrawal lots more cash to fund the casino activities on the cruise back down south! 😀

🤔Interesting! My kids (and now grandkids) always tell me; "If you’re gonna be a brat, do it at home. We won't tolerate it in public!" 😁 Pssst. They don't know about Cruise Critic. 😉

But I can blame Mother England for producing my Great Grand Mother, my Grandmother and my Mother who perpetuated this abomination! 😄

😱 The Yanks can blame us for a lots of bad stuff like Justin Bieber and Nickelback but they can't blame us for those. 😁

You owe me a new keyboard you 🤬 I opened your post and upchucked all over my current one! 🤮

Blood Pudding! Thanks for bringing back that nightmare from my childhood. 😬 I was born and started out in Montreal with an English Mom and an Irish Dad. Blood/black Pudding, Liver and Onions, Mashed peas, and Spotted something (can't say the word around here, but it's a desert that had beef fat and dried fruits) and that word sounds like that guy from the Rolling Stones. 🤢 And it's not Spotted Keith or Spotted Charlie. 😉 Didn't the Brits rule the world at some point? Why couldn't they steal some better food recipes along their travels?

This is 2023. Of course it's Royal's fault! 😉

🤯 Are you saying that many cruise line staff could win the Academy Award for Best Actor or Actress? 😉
