I just looked for my cruise in January, no longer listed!

I think restrictions should have more to do with health than age. I’m 48 perfectly healthy, and take no prescriptions. I know plenty of people younger than me in poor health with co-morbidities that would be more adversely affected by the virus. I also know people older (my mom) who are in perfect health. Health is, however, harder to prove than age.

Well I for one have a 7 day booked for October 24th out of Galveston, and I hold out hope that it will still sail. I will gladly be a guinea  pig.

We were booked for a B2B on the Breeze in January. I wouldn’t mind moving to Port Canaveral if they open up any cabins on the Breeze, but I have no idea of what the itinerary or price is right now as this doesn’t even show up on the booking engine yet.

Here in Iowa the numbers keep going down. The only person I personally know that got it is my 92 year old grandpa in a memory care facility where he has been isolated since the beginning. He only has contact with masked nurses, bathed in hand sanitizer. Me, I’ve been traveling all over, shopping at stores, getting together with medium to large groups, and hugging my friends, all sans mask. I gave blood the other day and they tested it, no COVID-19. Grandpa is fine BTW, completely asymptomatic.

WooHoo! Thanks OP! I’ve been checking periodically for this , but love when someone gives the heads up! Just saved $150 on our next cruise. Hubby and I both have a AmEX blue cash card and both got the offer! 🙌🏼🙌🏼

What’s the best way to buy the stock? E-trade? A brick and mortar stock broker?

Salad bar for lunch, French Toast for breakfast 

🙄Unfollowing this thread! It has ceased to be about useful hints and become a petty argument.👋🏼

On the Breeze, our GS was 1/2” too short and they wouldn’t let him go. It’s really up to how strict the attendant is. I wouldn’t get his hopes up, just in case.

Sorry to hijack this thread, but IslandStar, it seems you live in Grenada? We are coming for our first time in January 2020. Any other must do’s there? The Chocolate factory and coffee sound perfect to me.... and I definitely want to pick up some nutmegs and a spice necklace. We like snorkeling, adventure, tours, walking, whatever....

Oh, that’s better! I don’t know what the site I was looking at was about. I wondered how anyone was buying it if it was that much!

I just looked into it. Is that right? It costs $400,000 currently to buy 100 shares???

I would be a singer, chef, or work in camp Ocean.

In general, people just need to pay closer attention to their surroundings. Some people seem completely oblivious. People on scooters especially. I have been run into/over so many times on a cruise! Also when lined up for an event, show, dinner, whatever, if other people have been patiently waiting, don’t come out of the elevator and expect to be first in line just because you are on a scooter 🤦🏻‍♀️. This happened SO may times on our Journeys cruise, and let me tell you there are a LOT of scooters on those!

Eagle Creek packing folder for packing men’s suit, dress pants, dress shirts, and polos without wrinkles in a very small space! Helps keep us carry on only, even for longer cruises! https://www.amazon.com/Eagle-Creek-Garment-Folder-Medium/dp/B00F9S81KY

I pack my hubby’s suit in an Eagle Creek packing folder per instructions, along with a couple more pair of dress pants, 2-3 dress shirts and a few polos. All of them fit. No wrinkles!https://www.amazon.com/Eagle-Creek-Garment-Folder-Medium/dp/B00F9S81KY

I downsize farther every cruise we take. We just did a 13 day in January with one carry on suitcase and a backpack each and that’s bringing our own snorkel gear. Yes we had formal night clothing also. There are tons of pack light videos and blogs out there with tons of tips. I especially like Adventures with Sarah. Some things that have worked for me are packing cubes and solid toiletries from Lush. The Eagle Creek packing folder held my husband’s suit 2 dress shirts, 6 polos, and 2 pair of dress pants with no wrinkles. I don’t buy anything that wrinkles. Mixing and matching makes for a lot of outfits.

As far as good excursions, Chankanaab Park in Cozumel is a great choice for groups with various age groups. My 4 year old GS loved it and there was plenty for everyone to do.

How about the opposite. I’m all for no buffet!🙋🏻‍♀️

While I can’t eat 2 entree’s myself (many times I order 2 appetizers though) my hubby (a relatively small man) almost always orders, and eats 2.  Not having this option ( or having to pay extra) would definitely ruin cruising for him.... 😕

I’m in my early 40’s and I love the MDR! I’m not a fan of buffets and I can get pizza and burgers at home. We were on a 13 day Journeys cruise in January and had a table of 5 couples who had never met before. Various  ages 40s-80s, and we all got on so well, no one made/kept  any specialty dining reservations so we could all eat together every night. We also had the most amazing service team! Did we wait long sometimes? Yes, but ya roll with the punches, we’re on vacation!

I loved Bonsai sushi on the Sunshine. The spicy tuna roll is the best! And only $5! The service you get there is the best on the whole ship also. Better service team to customer ratio.

We “won” our first cruise, and it was an inside cabin. We had no clue what we were doing and had an “ok” time. But there was enough to get us to try again. This time I found CC and several other sites and did my research. To me it makes all the difference! We are hooked now and just booked our second Journeys cruise!

I have been on several missions trips, and so, I have quite a few more stamps in my passport than my husband. He loves to get vanity stamps in his when we go on a cruise. Some places are happy to oblige, some will not. His passport expires in two years, and he’ll have to get a new one. He’s obviously not going to fill it up to the point of not being able to find an empty page. The people asking about stamps here are most likely in the same boat (pardon the pun 😂) No need to shame someone for wanting vanity stamps if that’s what they want. Not everyone has the same life, that would be boring. The OP was simply asking which ports will stamp. If I remember right, St. Tomas, Aruba, Curaçao,  and even San Juan Puerto Rico did (🙄Yes, I know, part of the US. But Hubby wanted it, and after a polite explanation from me in Spanish, they were happy to oblige.) Don’t judge, just travel your own journey. ❤️🌎
