Luckynana Posted June 8 #123252 Share Posted June 8 @h20skibum Wishing Susan a Happy Birthday today! Your gyro looks scrumptious, and what better way to top it off then with a nice large donut! Beautiful day for a Birthday, as well as an outing outside! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StanleyandGus Posted June 8 #123260 Share Posted June 8 I have a question, which I am sure with the depth of cruising experience on here some one can answer. We have booked a cruise to the ABC islands in April of 2025. Then we found out that Radiance is going to do a Panama Canal cruise in October of 2025. We have a courtesy hold on an aft balcony, because there don’t seem to be any Grand Suites left. That expires in 3 days. So, my son…he is single and relies on us to look after his (enormous) German Shepherd (he’s a nice dog, that’s not an issue) He is almost certainly going to be deployed overseas in 2025, for at least 6 months. The transition point is June or July, so we would lose one cruise, which is fine. I know the deposit will be lost, but what is the best way to keep one cruise? And can we transfer any money, minus the deposit, to the other cruise? It would be nice if my son could absolutely say when his deployment is, but he doesn’t know, and probably won’t until August.

This would be great (or dangerous) to keep handy in the fridge. @Sea Dog Greg sorry to hear of another health concern with the spots on your head. I hope that cream does the job, even if unpleasant at first. Maybe you need to start wearing a bandana - pirate style 🙂! Here is what I copied and pasted from Bob's original post about his recipe. "It was the more modern version that I did a lot of experimenting to get the juices to match what I remember from Hawaii. I'll usually make a batch of PPOG juice (pineapple, passion fruit, orange, guava) so that it's easy to create and serve several drinks. I then add the rest of the ingredients right before serving. PPOG Juice: 2 oz passionfruit juice 1.5 oz guava juice 1 oz orange juice 1 oz pineapple juice The Goya brand of passion fruit and guava are available in stores near me. You can also order from Amazon. Mix the PPOG juice with 0.5 oz Orgeat syrup and 1.5 oz Jamaican rum in a cocktail shaker with crushed ice and shake well..about 15 seconds. Dump pour into a tiki glass. Add a 0.5 oz dark rum floater on top (I just use Myer's) to give it the layered look. Garnish with a lime wedge and fresh mint". Enjoy! Good idea on the bandana. THis pirate dog likes that idea. . 58 minutes ago, Luckynana said: @Sea Dog Hang in there, Greg! You're getting lots of good advice from your friends on CC! This too shall pass!

I know, from reading posts here and there, that people were able to move deposits.... worth a try, but my advice above to book the PC with a refundable deposit will give you a win-win 😎 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A refundable deposit makes sense for the PC cruise; thanks! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have moved deposits before final payment. Once had to pay a fee of $100 for a NRD (cannot remember if it was Royal or X) which was "absorbed" in the invoice of the new ship and sail date. After final payment, they did not do anything. You can do a Refundable deposit, but I was told that it is good (money back) till final payment only. I cannot explain this very clearly, sorry. If you are booked with a TA in a group, it may be different. Edited June 8 by Arzeena 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you outright cancel a cruise, you will lose the (non-refundable) deposit. You can transfer your (non-refundable) deposit to another sailing, there is a $100 p/p fee and the remaining deposit will go towards the new cruise. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The note that I have shows the same PPOG ratios but using 1 oz light rum and 1 oz Jamaican rum instead of 1.5 oz Jamaican rum. I'm not sure if I later updated what I posted here, or maybe I posted the most recent version (above) and forgot to update my notes?? Either way should be great Deb. The mix of light and Jamaican rum will have a slightly higher alcohol content and you'll probably taste less rum and more of the juice mix, while the 1.5 oz Jamaican rum version will have slightly more of the funky Jamaican flavor. Take your pick. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Take your pick. I think 2oz of rum will help tame all the sweetness of the PPOG mixture. I did make the ultimate Mai Tai recipe from Kevin Crossman’s website. I think I liked the Ultimate just a little bit better as it wasn’t as sweet but I need to redo your recipe using the light rum and Jamaican rums. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StanleyandGus Posted June 8 #123273 Share Posted June 8 @Arzeena @Coralc @dani negreanu I had totally forgotten about refundable deposits. I have made contact with everyone’s favourite travel agent, who seems very nice, and I think things will be fine! Thank you for your help, it’s kind of like having someone point out that there’s an obvious solution over a cup of tea! 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
