We got off in Rome, took our time and were off by 7:30 carrying our luggage. Flew to Athens and the guy there was angry with Italy because they did not touch our passports, made us prove we got off a cruise ship that morning. He mumbled something about Italians and allowed us into Greece.

Most TA's have sessions of bridge on the sea days , for experienced players the duplicate bridge is a great challenge, and they usually have bridge for beginners. Also not extensively advertised there will be 12 step meetings.

Right now the Sky from Baltimore to Quebec on 9/1/23, 10 nights, is listed at $569pp for an inside, and the return Quebec to Baltimore on 9/11/23 is also 10 nights and selling for $550pp for inside. Hard to beat those prices any time. We paid $669 each way two months ago, gonna give a call to get some FCC. Been watching the prices creep down the last two months, trying to time it to get the max FCC.

You can park at the ABE airport in Bethlehem, only costs $3/night and the first 3 nights are free. Transbridge Bus leaves from the airport the morning of the cruise, about 9 AM. For senior citizens the bus tickets are $58 each round trip, don"t know prices for youngsters. When the cruise ends, the bus loads up around 9-9:30 AM, the ride is non stop in both directions, is about 90 minutes depending on traffic. The bus trip was only revived this Spring for the first time since 2020

No hate here, would rather wear t-shirts than a quilt.

The only ones I do not give 10's are the ones who ask for it.

Same thing here in the USA, fight only lasted 8 years.

Wondering if this will affect a TA from NJ, stopping in Portugal, Spain and France and then ending in Southampton. (ANTHEM 4/28/24)

Guess so. Anyone have a live report on the Asian food currently offered on Spectrum?

Booked on Spectrum next March for a 3 day in Singapore before flying back to Bethlehem, PA via Saudi Arabian Airlines with an 8 hour layover in Saudi Arabia. My wife and I each have 77 C&A points, very interested to check out the food on Spectrum. We also have been to Singapore 3 times previously, love those imported mangoes from Thailand.

My grandfather was on the dock and waived goodbye to the Titanic.

I have found the vegan meals on Royal Caribbean quite acceptable. In the MDR they have at least one appetizer, one main course, and one desert vegan. Made ordering very easy every night. Sorry to see you are finding out why so many Star cruises are so cheap. We started avoiding her since she had the observation lounge replaced, had all those propulsion problems. Did Not really need more reasons to ignore.

Let's start a thread on Cruise Critic complaints.

Better to start a 12 step program.

I have a US Bank card which gives me 4% rewards on cruises, airlines, hotels, rental cars, car service. It has an annual fee of $95. Have a Wells Fargo card with 3%rewards on all travel, no annual fee. Even the NCL gives 3% rewards on cruises, no annual fee.

Just cancelled mine a few months ago. Next year I plan to get a new one with the $250 sign on bonus, get it up to5,000 points, spending $2,500 on cruises, get the $50 OBC and cancel again.

The difference in weather will be slight, most of the cruise is in the tropics. Stopping in Mazlatan adds little to the cruise, although it is a Love Boat stop. One item to consider is time change, when traveling East to west you have three 25 hour days, while traveling west to east you have three 23 hour days.

Moves like an 80 year old man? Impressive

Some great last minute sales for this September, $479 inside pp for 9 days to Quebec, $429pp the 7 days back to NYC.

No, they owe you nothing. If they would miss all the ports they would owe you nothing as long as you disembarked where they said you would. They will say it was an act of God, gonna keep your port fees. Their attitude is take it up with God.

So where you going instead of Royal? Would love to know, Cruisemaster. Thanks for sharing.

If enough people go elsewhere RCL prices will fall.

Glad I do not drink coffee. The horror!!!

Weeks very long in New York.

Tanzanite jewelry, so rare it is only found on cruise ships and affiliated stores.
