Great post.
There's also the "I don't have to cook or clean, therefore it's good" crowd. For me, not cooking or cleaning does NOT make the food good. Good ingredients and good preparation does, and in my opinion, those are decreasing.

When you buy the insurance, you aren't insuring a cruise. You are insuring a person. So you would have to insure each person separately, either with an annual policy for each of them or a per cruise policy for each of them.
I loved it on Celebrity. It brings in so much more daylight than a standard balcony, making the room seem bigger. And if you close the window, the space becomes part of the room, making the room actually even bigger.
You are wanting to know the cost of the two flights. Have you asked the company(s) that performed the flights? It seems like they would be the ones that would know.
Sometimes there's a metal bar at the edge of the bed that is lower than the rest of the underneath space. You might try lifting the edge of the bed then slide your suitcase underneath.
Isn't that the truth! If they would put half as much effort (and better ingredients) into making the desserts taste good as they do in how they look, they would be so much better!
It should be easy. You have to be off of the first ship by around 9:00 a.m. and you probably can't even board the second ship until 11:00 a.m. or so. Your biggest issue will probably be figuring out how to kill the time between the two cruises.
