Thanks for the ride, Jacqui. I've enjoyed the information that you shared, but am happy to not be on the cold decks. 🙂 Safe travels home!

It will usually take 7-10 business days to update, however, I have heard some complain that their mariner account didn't update that quickly.

I love the sticky buns. 😋 I like to think of mine as healthy since I always have some protein added aka pecans 😂.

Thanks for your insight. I don't actually use them for 'support' as much as a tool to reduce the weight bearing on one knee as I walk. I had my first folding cane give out at the airport on one trip. It was a tough slog through the airport, but I wasn't incapable. I now have a second cane in my carry on in the event that my cane were to give up the ghost while on vacation. The second one came in handy last summer when my sister tripped in a hole in Cornerbrook. She was bedridden for one day, and then was able to use the cane for the next couple days on the shore excursions.

I use a folding cane for support when I anticipate that my knees will start to act up. Do you find the walking sticks as sturdy? That is probably my worry. Are they strong enough to support me? If so, maybe I should give them a try. I think that walking sticks would be less stress on my hands/wrist and shoulders.

I must have missed the plane, becauseI joined your cruise notes as you hit Newport. I'm glad that you got the dinner situation sorted out. 🙂 We enjoyed the Mix on the Volendam last year as well. Have a great time, you Merry Widows!

Yes, you will get the cans of water at the bars and take them back to your room. We always picked up a couple on our way back to the room at night.

Agreed. That's how we do it. I learned on the cruise we just finished that you have to watch it every 30 days, so we got to watch it twice.

Also note, that if you watch some and turn it off.....you have to start all over again. 😉

Since we know that the only way to ensure that those service heroes get to keep your gift of money is to keep the gratuity on your account, I'm glad that you are going to do that. 👍 I do the same. I pay the gratuity (would never think to remove it!) and ADD tips to those that I see-stewards and servers, put money in the laundry bag for the laundry, and even a couple of dollars to those I see regularly shining the elevator.

I am hoping that they get this online sooner than later. Mine expires in January 2025, so I need to be looking at that after we get back from our cruise in March, because we have cruises booked February-April next year.

How many ships are disembarking today?

That's a GOOD line to see. 😉

Thanks! I'll maybe have her do that in the new year for the February cruise.

Can someone direct me to where you see this on your sailings? Mine have never shown up "in my account" nor on any sailing page, or on my invoices. I'm always "surprised" when I walk into my cabin and check the OBC on the t.v.
