Flying in the same day kicks my butt. On our first trip on the Breeze I fell asleep during the muster drill (old way) and my pic was on the big screen for days….

Mmmm Not heard any Molly Hatchet in a good while.

What is that Aerosmith song...."livin on the edge"? Let us know how it goes...

illness or removed from ship

Enjoying your review, cannot wait to sail the Jubilee

Just saw a report where they hope channel will fully open at end of May.

Following along as well

Whole different drinking mentality on Viking then Carnival

Agree on all that

One could state that it is worse today, despite so called transparency. They affect almost everything tie to govt (including the people that make the laws).....go figure.

The way a capital society works. For the record, privately held companies (as example MSC I believe) do the same exact thing. Did I claim they did not lobby?

good questions, but what ever the deal is, it is between CCL and the casino sub(s). The sub pays the contracted rate to CCL and subsidizes the rest. The rate that the person pays (whatever it is) has nothing to do with VFIP (other than it would count towards it, meaning it is not a VFIP discount.

do those come from the cruise line?

All industries lobby, that is the way it currently works. Others do it WAY more. As example, the airlines (same industry) lobbied to the tune if 17+ million in the first half of 2023, and they got bailed out by the feds for covid and were not shut down. I guess it all on how you look at the numbers and from what viewpoint....😎

Listing out the various scenarios would just confuse people more. If people book on their own, they take on that responsibility. If they use a PVP or TA, then the knowledge is not needed. You removed the lack of by using someone who KNOWS.

An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.

The ones right at the pier are rocky. As I said look GREAT. That said stroll down the beach to Jacks shack. This island reeks of history also...

Bonaire is a very different interesting port as well. Last time there we rented golf carts and toured the island...great time.

Half Moon Cay, one of Carnival Corps sister companies Holland America Line (HAL) owns it. Tender only port (for now), possibly building a pier.... google it for pics.

Well.....if you have never been, there are plenty of nice things to do there. Been there a TON (only outdone by Cozumel, been there 16 times on a cruise ship). Great sail in a sail out also, and there would most def be a lot of other ships there (might be a plus or minus). If it were me and you picked this itin, I would get off.

well.....the beaches look great on GT (in the dock area) but pretty rocky. You have to go further to get to them in Aruba, and there will always be a breeze, but from a beach perspective (and going into the water) better. For future reference HMC has the best beach we have been to on a cruise, and while slightly off topic, the best beaches we have ever Benn to in the Caribbean (not on a cruise) is Anguilla (tuck that away for future reference.).

I think Aruba has better beaches than Nassau (which would be on the absolute bottom of my list, for many reasons).

Why are you excited about GT? For me ABC is a clear cut winner.

Does not make any difference what the reason is, what matters is what IT is. The rest is smoke and mirrors.

and yet another program
