I'm with the it isn't crowd.

To be fair, I haven't seen people criticizing legitimate service dogs in this thread - the criticism has been for the fakers. And you can tell who the fakers are because there is a code of conduct both for the service dog and the owner. And worse yet are the so-called doglovers who help propagate the breaking of the code of conduct by hugging or petting the fake service dog. And understand that I'm not labeling a dog as a fake service dog because the condition they are there for is not obvious. I know there are conditions calling for the use of a service dog like seizures, diabetes, PTSD, etc. But as someone who contributes to the training of these dogs I'd imagine you are familiar with the code of conduct for these dogs. I base my perception that a given dog is a fake service dog strictly on the dog and owner's behavior. The really sad thing is that the existence of the fakes, and their entitled owners, can cause people who are uneducated about this to look askance at legitimate service dogs just because they are there to help someone with one of those non-obvious conditions. People with fake service dogs are no better than non-handicapped people parking in a handicap parking spot.

And if I'm not mistaken, Seattle has free Port Valet where they will transfer your checked luggage from the ship to your airline. Details

I marvel at your facility at giving unhelpful responses. Thanks! Back to the corner for another ten minutes.

And it is really unfortunate that those that abuse the rules cause legitimate service animals to come into (unfair) question. Particularly the less obvious one such as diabetes dogs. And I think I read that a dog can be trained to tell when an epileptic is about to go into a seizure.

I don't know. But thanks for such a helpful reply. And so generous of you to spend 10 words not answering the question when a one word answer would have sufficed. I'm now going to send myself to stand in the corner for ten minutes. You have a nice day!

Is the ADA the controlling authority on cruise ships?

Way less expensive. Beyond that I can't say, but I believe there are a number of YouTube videos comparing Haven with Yacht Club.

Other choices

I've only sailed MSC in the Yacht Club. It was wonderful, and since it is not nearly as expensive as other lines' ship within a ship offerings I think it is the best bang for the buck at sea.

No need to apologize to a pedantic person. 😉

To be pedantic for a moment, probably evaporated milk, which is unsweetened. Condensed milk is always sweetened.

Ah, my mistake. I don't travel in the rarified air of Nepturne suites. Now I understand the laughing emoji to my post.

If they still have availability, one option would be to get Orange Club and use the free upgrade to get the cabin you want.

Unless you also empty your trash the email will stay in the trash folder for 30 days and can be resurrected from there.

When I decided to get a new phone I had a choice to go to (in my case) the Verizon store and get it right then and there or order it from Amazon and get it a day later. It should be easy to upgrade a phone within a week. Another alternative is getting a burner smartphone. For around $30 you can get a no contract burner phone that runs android that you can download the Navigator app to. Just some thoughts.

Kind of like Apple making their computers cheap for schools to get kids used to using their brand.

FWIW, the one I have is called Easy Metronome. And it is, no muss no fuss. Several different sounds. Easy to set the tempo. I got it to time the holds for physical therapy.

Widely accepted. What I did was get a separate debit/ATM card from my bank, WF, that was pre-loaded with some money. They called it a travel card. It had minimal foreign transaction fees. I could use it in, eg, France at an ATM to get euros. That card could not initiate and transactions with my checking account. But if necessary I could initiate a transaction in my checking account to re-load the debit/ATM card. On exchange rates, always elect to have the transaction done in the local currency so your bank does the exchange, because that will get you the best rate.

No, only your additional item needs to fit under your seat. On the rare occasion that there is no room in the overhead for your carry-on they will check it for you at no charge. The vast majority of carry-ons being sold will not fit under the seat.

A hammer would work better than a jammer. But here's an idea. I have a metronome app on my phone that can emit fairly loud beeps. When someone is infringing just get the metronome beeping at about 120-180 beeps per minute. Kind of an old school jammer. You could argue that it would just add to the noise, but if it gets them to stop it is just for the short term.

I wonder if it's possible to request a microwave in your cabin. I use a microwavable hotpack for a wrist injury I am rehabbing.

I do something similar but at my bank, Wells Fargo, I didn't need to have a second checking account. They gave me what, in effect, was a pre-loaded debit/ATM card. It was restricted to the amount of the pre-load, but I could initiate a reloading if necessary from my checking account, but the debit/ATM account could not initiate any reload, so it was secure.

I'd say Pinnacle. The steak tartare was my favorite starter and the Pinnacle menu had more items I could see myself ordering, as I am not that much of an adventurous eater.
