If 3 year old was having such a hard time walking in the heat, why didn't dad let jr ride on his shoulder or retreat back to the ship? That's what I would have done.
Thanks to availabity of public laudermat on Carnival and Princess ships, I always wash my dirty clothes on last sea day before I pack them up on my trip home. Wouldn't want it any other way.
Does this mean you have to do the check-in for the no show person as if he/she will be on the ship? Would like some advice as I am also dealing this situation next month.
I am still trying to figure this out as I had an Amex promo rebate and OBC attached to my previous booking. If this is a cancel and rebook with a new reservation #, I will likely lose both perks and am screwed.
High fuel price, supply chain issues, Covid, labor shortage, heavy debt load and expensive airfares are killing the cruise industry. It will take a long time before cruise lines recover from the current sad state of affairs.
If you like sea days, cruise to/from Hawaii and North America mainland is great. Lot of relaxing down time and ocean gazing. If you dislike sea days, fly to Hawaii and cruise NCL.
Alaska cruise market is kind of saturated right now with many cruise ships from different lines all going to the same ports. Some lines are even selling next year's spring Alaska cruises at a low NRD rate to entice early booking. Something seldom seen before Covid. Great for cruisers but bad for cruise lines.
MSC is the only mass market cruise line I know that uses catering coffee urns and not food service coffee machines at buffet drink station. Many times, the urns would quickly run out or the coffee gets cold in them. Not sure why MSC does thing this way.
