Do Junior Suite guests have access to the Concierge Lounge ? Thanks!

For some reason it seems my daughter always has something happen that requires a visit to the ship's doctor. Fortunately, nothing serious....last time it was a sprained ankle.

The charges have been similar to a doctor's office visit at home....plus medicine at an additional charge.

Although the charges for the doctor's services have always been charged to our shipboard account, the doctor's office has also given us a separate statement....which in turn can be presented for reimbursement to our personal health insurance company upon returning home. Our health insurance program covers us for this at the same percentage it covers a *non-provider* at home.

If one has travel insurance as well, it may be a plan that picks up the difference....(?)

Oh....I'm jealous!

Have an absolutely wonderful cruise.

Guess we'll have to wait a while for a review.....;)

I cast my vote for early. We usually arrive around 11:00 to 11:30 am.

Enjoy your cruise . . . :)

Doug: Thank you for the informative information re: the Chandris Line. It caused me to go back and check my photos and other souvenirs from my voyage from Australia to New York. I had listed the Angelina Laura as the

ship I had sailed but your post had "rung a bell." I had sailed on the Ellinis.

What a voyage! I was 21 at the time, had 4 roommates--the youngest

was 68 and the oldest was 84. We circled a cyclone and had to strap into our bunks at night to keep us from rolling out. Didn't eat much for 3 days. Lots of the older folk kept their life jackets on 24/7 for those 3 days too.

Only had two ports of call in 29 days, Tahiti and Balboa -- at the entrance to the Panama Canal. Those were the days of first and second class. We second class passengers did not have access to the first class section of

the ship. I was travelling alone -- such an adventure for a 21 year old! Thanks for the memories!
