It's freestyle, if you want to wear wire instead of clothes, why not? I really enjoyed last summer I could wear at any time including dinner tie dye tee shirts. Only problem was it spoiled me. We went on a river cruise this past month, and I was disappointed that I had to have collared shirts to wear at dinners. Oh well, still enjoyed the river cruise.

Wow +$2.

Wow.

Are you ready to say you will not cruise again with a cruise line that does that to you? If so, will you follow through with the threat? 😉 I am once again being astute. 😊

Maybe the slightly less expensive cruise had more non-commissionable items. The percentage that the TA rebated you might not really be different.

But inquiring minds wish to know. 😉 Actually it was easier to remember that because in that post you were quoting me.

See post #51 in this thread where you say you wonder how many actually follow through on their threats. So are you going to follow through or not? 😉

How about Going to Mexico by the Steve Miller Band? The first lines of the song are: Pack my bags I'm ready to go And that is sung to a real catchy tune.

Yes, there is really a lot to do within walking distance of the port in Halifax. We were going to visit several more places until we were so fascinated with the Canadian Immigration Museum that we spent several hours there. But there are several more places that one could try to see that might be interesting.

Somehow, motivated or not, I am sure you will get around to packing.

Thanks, I'd argue for a 10 if we had not managed to get the first available flight back home. One thing RCCL actually did well was make the internet cafe free so people could e-mail family, travel agents, airlines, etc. I know my mother in law thought they were going to drop us off in the middle of a hurricane until we e-mailed her. And everyone was considerate and did not hog the computers.

OK, that was bad, but I am going to argue for more than an 8 for my story. I will give 2 reasons. The first is being trapped in a lounge for embarkation when nobody is being allowed to leave and it is so packed that you can hardly breathe. And the second is the hell the airport was with no planes having arrived or departed for 2 days.

Let me slightly amend my story. Thinking back, it believe it was the Sunday of Labor Day Weekend, not the Saturday when we were supposed to dock. And since I am sure we got 2 extra days, the Tuesday after Labor Day when we finally reached Fort Lauderdale. Not that that really changes the story much.

Neither of us were among the people saying we would never cruise with Royal Caribbean again, in fact at that time, our second cruise, it was the only line we had ever cruised on. But, as it turns out, we have not cruised with them again. But that is due to they started building ships that were much too large for our tastes.

I see Halifax is one of your ports. Here is our experience with that port. We took a morning excursion to Peggy's Cove, pretty, but we both agreed it was not really worth the price. In the afternoon we wandered around the port intending to visit many places, but when we found ourselves in the Canadian Immigration Museum we were both fascinated and found ourselves basically staying the afternoon there. Your views may vary, but I thought I would share that.
