It was the 2016 Anthem. I went back and looked at past cruises.

He was not the captain on the preceding cruise... That was my point. People find this difficult to believe. We were on that one. People do have a short memory. It has been a while since I sailed Royal. I had to go back and look it up.

E class? Not many real balconies. Some itineraries are only E class 🙃

I did not say that. I cited one case where the captain made the national news multiple times for doing something stupid. Going right out into the middle of the storm, breaking glassware, flooding parts of the ship. tables moving all over the place and creating a PR nightmare for all cruise lines. I am sure that cruise line sales were down for several months afterwards. When he could have waited several hours and had a successful cruise without incidents. Perhaps he is the reason cruise ships try to navigate around the storms somewhat. Right at the start of the cruise he muffed it up and the cruise had to go back for repairs. Would you want the captain that screwed up the last cruise on your cruise? You had a difficult time believing that Royal removed him and put in another captain. Bad PR to have him sail on the ship? Yes definitely. For the Edge case they did not even make the national news, though they are not sailing into that area right now.

What do you think will become of the Dali captain and crew? I know your position on captains with lesser errors/incidents.

We prefer fish and seafood ... IMHO they switched to thinner filets which are easier to overcook. Previously they had thicker filets.

So what happens when you book a room for 2 and 1 of the guests does not show up? Asking for a friend 😉

Other places the solo is a fair amount less than 2 not more... Very surprising...

Here is what I use. It worked for a 12 mile hike up and down hills. I hiked The Wave and scenic areas around. My muscles were super tired but never cramped for such a strenuous day. That was my first real hike for that far ...

The Airpod Max is the version with the cups over the ear. I have been next to screaming kids and I was able to block it out for a long flight. I will bring cords, bluetooth adapters, and have 3 ways of connecting. Surely one will work. Bringing out the AirFlys ...

Yes they do have large tables in Tuscan.

Do the majority of upgrades end up badly? I have only had two. One on Royal and one on Celebrity. They were both better...

We have one person sailing on our river cruise solo. The pricing is rather good.

Thanks. I will be prepared this time...

:47 - :49 1:00 - 1:02. I would suppose that the locals would not be loudly complaining about the reefs if there were none to be damaged ... The locals also claimed that they dropped anchor and at one point were stuck. I am not sure any of this is true... Was this a Hawaii ship size violation or the fact that they had more than 15 people on board? Or both?

What is the set up likely to be on my Delta overseas flight as far as entertainment, Bluetooth headphones, etc. Will I be able to connect my iPhone to the entertainment system? How do I connect my wireless headphones? Should I just bring a cord? Looking to connect my Airpod Max...

Yep. I just took a peek again. The circle Australia cruise hit Indonesia for a couple of stops. Celebrity does have an Australia only Sydney to Great Barrier reef cruise. That would give me half of the circle. I would then need to cruise up the left side.

I find high inflation to be nibbling away at everything that I purchase these days. My DW reminds me 😁 Now that I am looking at other lines I am seeing similar complaints on other boards. I will have to try them out to see for myself. For my last cruise it was the charging for room service and elevated wine pricing that changed right before the cruise...

Oh wow! I was never a fan of doing insulation 🤣 Last time I had someone else do it.

Just curious if they do gluten free crusts?

In my last cruise search, I found out that the E class is taking over some itineraries. Which is nice if you are in a suite, but rather pricey. It is looking like my next cruise will be on Princess.

I was referring to the video that was supplied by a cruiser on this thread ...

The last time I checked there were a few cruises that circled Australia. But only a few. I would like to circle Australia before I go back to New Zealand again.

That it should have also been obvious to the captain and crew that the ship was too close...
