  1. We used to use a PCC but found outside travel agents were much better at passing on savings if the cruise price decreased.
  2. If you can afford it, it is the only way to travel.
  3. Yes. There are clocks throughout the ship and they usually leave a reminder every night to adjust your watches and phones.
  4. We were Pinnacle people so they gave us the option. We were glad we took it. It was right before Covid-19 so the price for our suite was a bargain.
  5. I would buy stock with them. Seem to be very well run company.
  6. Looks amazing! Wish we had done that last time. Barcelona is one of my favorite cities in Europe.
  7. Different strokes right, but we have always preferred the single piano player.
  8. LOL, you should probably skip authentic Gyro places too. Like others have said, your dining experience can change from night to night. But we have noticed service on the ships is better than service at restaurants in Colorado. One reason we continue to book new cruises.
  9. Have only been to Aruba. We just took a tour around the island. We also did a beach day in the Bahamas on an Oceania cruise. Aruba was hot!
  10. See the local history and the sites. How are the private islands? Any ports we should just stay on the ship? 14 to 17 days. Would like to visit both the Eastern and Western Caribbean.
  11. We are about to book our first Caribbean cruise on Princess. Which ports are the best to explore? Any excursions you would recommend?
  12. I usually get by on formal nights with a blazer, Hawaiian shirt, and nice black jeans. A tuxedo just takes up too much space in my luggage.
  13. LOL, don't sit with us! On our last cruise, we were at a table for eight at the 8pm seating and we were always the last table to leave the dining room, 10 to 10:30. One time I told our head waiter to go to bed, "we will lock up".
  14. We had Mass on our Voyage of The Vikings this Summer. The priest did take some time off. Mid cruise he got Covid-19 and went into quarantine. He was fine.
  15. Agree! Had to spend so much time throwing off pillows when I went to get ready for bed. I thought about hiding them.
  16. We were recently on a 35 day cruise and we laughed about how that must be easier for the room stewards to remember. Just imagine a three day or seven day cruise!
  17. Although if you are a non-essential government employee who thinks the shutdown will take about three weeks, book a last minute cruise and then come home and get your backpay. Risky but it could work out.
  18. Exactly. BetMGM requires that I make my bets in my home state.
  19. The higher interest rates are killing much of my portfolio. And it has to worry companies with a lot of debt on their books like cruise lines when it comes time to refinance those loans.
  20. My sister and BIL are currently on a cruise with this ship. They love it so far. (Spain, Morocco and Portugal. )
  21. Wow! I bought at $40. Ouch. Seemed like pretty good earnings I saw this week, but can they keep it up?
  22. For decades, we booked our own cruises but now find our travel agent to be more than worth it. She is very good at watching if cruise prices fall and gets us good benefits onboard.
  23. Warning! Greenland visitors might want to bring netting to protect your face and head from bugs. They weren't biting badly but they did want to get in your eyes and noses.
  24. British Airways has always treated us well, but Heathrow is a disaster every time we have to use it.
  25. That is bad. So sorry to hear about your bad experience, our butler complained because we weren't using him enough. Have to love that attitude. I hope you complained to Oceania.
