Arizona Wildcat

Wine is in the taste buds of the drinker. Have had blind tastings with $5 wine and $30 a glass wine and a carefully chosen $5 wine often won. On board the issues are where are you cruising as wines vary. You certainly are safe with midrange California varietals. Generally available. Sauvignon Blancs are more hit and miss. I'm a zinfandel lover. Never had much luck. Good news is to try some covered with your package and if not to your taste. . pour it out.

If you cruise heading West you pick up.an hour for each time zone. 25 hour days easier than 23.

Hawaii is part of the USA. Thus they will not need WIFI in Hawaii. Simply make a call with their cellphone for free. If they are not from the US they can get WIFI nearby every Hawaiian port.

Watched for a few seconds. Then closed the page. Problem solved.

Same answer for the Red Sea, St Petersburg Russia, and lots of other places. Unless peace breaks out you won't be cruising to anyplace near there. For predicting the future what do you use? I use an old Magic 8 Ball. Usually says ask later.

2 per person as listed on the Princess website.

Several months from now!

Actually if you are caught with gummies with THC you will be removed from the ship. Have seen it happen twice. There are sometimes dogs to sniff out drugs. A definite no for me as the penalty could be really harsh.

Last cruises were out of Amsterdam. You could count the tuxedos using your fingers. That said people looked like they were going out to a nice restaurant. On a British Isles cruise I will bring a sports coat simply to stay warm.

Did you read all my post? Things with the airlines are very different today. Long long ago I worked for Western Airlines. Back then far fewer planes operated with regulated fares and arrived and departed about 98% on time. Today customer service seems dead or dying. All I can share is in December friends with EZAir were flying to LA for a Panama Canal cruise from LHR. Scheduled to arrive a day ahead. Bad weather and Princess assured them they would meet their flight at LAX. Oops. They got themselves to San Pedro and watched their ship sail away. Some 12 hours later they finally were Scheduled to.meet their ship. Sadly not using a non stop to Cabo in Mexico, but a hotel followed by a flight to Mexico City followed by another flight in Mexico, motel, 8 hour local bus ride, 2 more nights in Costa Rica and them the ship. The problems, nobody knowing airports nearest the ports and for Sunday morning nobody answering the phones for EZAir! They described their journey as frightening. Once on board as interesting. Am sure you have found similar horror stories caused by consolidator issues. 98%+ of the time all is good. The rest . . .

There are literally hundreds of threads on this. Flying in even from North America to say Florida the day of your cruise is not smart. EZAir can be great as Chrysalis said for deals on International fares. Usually similar or same fare within North America. Any advice meaningless as you have not said where you are flying. EZAir vs having control over your flights? You need to decide. If the same fare - book direct. For a few $$ in savings I would book direct. Overseas, I check with my business class consolidator TRAVEL AGENT and compare. My TA is usually about the same price and being able to call them 24/7 is worth a lot to me, but as a former TA easier to compare for me. All I can say is Google business class travel.agents, fly in 1or 2 days early and make absolutely positively sure you understand the restrictions-ALL OF THEM - on any ticket you purchase Looking at your update - if a US carrier, simply fly in a day ahead. Canadian carrier - absolutely best to book direct.

I just get mine at the pier. Spend zero time tracking it, worrying about $20 etc. Took mean extra 30 seconds to pick up.at the pier. Agree, if lots of others did the same there would be a long line to pick up.

We have great fun using the deck plabs to explore on each ship that is new to us.

Sort of. It works only if the other person happens to see the dot.

We always keep a carry-on and a canvas tote bag with a couple pieces of clean clothing, valuables, documents etc to carry off. Not really hard to have a blouse/politics and long pants/chinos/jeans to wear the final night. Similar on my flight home.

Should I be concerned that I was able to sign into my Celebrity account this afternoon on my first try? Usually takes a couple attempts.

Does this surprise you? FWIW the Boston Hop on Hop off charges $40 with pick up and drop off near the pier. No idea about NYC but . . Shore excursions go on sale close to sale date if not fully booked.

Other lines have done Europe to South America and I had the opportunity to do it a couple times courtesy of my Uncle Sam many years ago. Generally light winds and calm seas.

You will unfortunately not know what is being offered until after you board. From our past experience likely to have at least one generation old on board. Would plan on using OBC elsewhere.

If you have the $$ for an expedition cruise that us the way to go. Just remember as was said the Falklands are a 50/50 coin flip.depending on weather and while cruising past Antarctica is wonderful; remember weather can be anything from incredible sunshine to 40' waves. The Antarctic cruises are very popular and many "unavailable " cabins will be in TA Group blocks. The month doesn't matter. Only if the weather gods are working for you.

Nor sure how we got specifically to Catholic, but there has often been a notice in the daily planner about a service on Sunday. Have had priests, ministers and a rabbi. Definitely hit or miss especially if Sunday is a port day. Probably 1/2 of our cruises

Does that mean you cannot get a drink or? If so would sort it later.

Also put your ship name and cabin number on a piece of masking tape and stick to your bag. Saves problems when the Princess tag tears off.

Simply when you are in the US use an ATM to get some $USD. Far cheaper for exchange. A bank charges about 10%+. On board you will need no cash. Most shops in tourist areas accept credit cards. You should have no need for Mexican Pesos. They are always happy with $USD. We live a few miles from the border. Never use anything except credit card from stores and a bit of cash for street vendors.

We called Princess customer relations and they added the cruise. I unfortunately took 4 months to show up on my account. They required the info listed above.
