Many years ago we were told by an officer that bags are xrayed as they come on AND off the ship. He said they have retrieved many towels and silverware from people's suitcases. Of course a tablet could be put in a carry-on and not get caught, but we were amazed how much people will try to steal!
Sure, Roy. We were in NJ at our son's house when Sandy arrived and it was just awful. Living on the southeast coast I am acutely aware of hurricanes and what they can do, so we are reluctant to put ourselves in harm's way by getting on a ship (even Serenity!) at that peak time for really bad hurricanes. But we do love the itinerary!
I just read that the Banyan Tree is still standing! Charred, to be sure, but will survive, according to the newspaper. It is 150 years old, imported from India, so its roots are very deep!
Many people complained about the closets in these rooms, about the bypass doors etc. At least with the bypass doors, one could get to the clothes at both ends, plus there were shelves in addition to the drawers. The new double door that only opens partway doesn't allow easy access to either end. Why did they do that? It looks sleeker but not at all practical.
How about some newer releases? Weโre all old enough to have seen these especially if we have grandkids. How many times do I need to see Home Alone all alone?
We like the Classic. The TV is on the wall over the sofa and is very easy to see from the bed. The 2 desks are a must for us and so what if the shower is small, we take showers not s-h-o-w-e-r-s! Yes the coffee table deal is a real bonus.
