For some reason I thought going from San Diego was cool. Never went out of calif on a cruise except once to hawaii and dont remember the weather. My knees are fine actually but a 3 mile hike is not. I had signed up for some trolley and cancelled but now maybe I'm liking the trolley more. See cliff divers and shrimp. I love shrimp.

Thank you. Idk it was hot there in oct. Sounds too hard for me then. Thanks.

I keep seeing pictures of light houses and actually have some booked to see in europe. But not to climb. I've never been to Mazatlan either, so many new places to see. Has anyone climbed to the top of the light house there. Worth doing? How hard is it to climb. Says I have to sign a waiver. It just came up for my Panama transit oct 2025.

What are they protesting?

I do see playmakers on your list. Wasnt on the other list I saw. YEA!! Mason jar has too many peanut butter drinks and foods, not my thing.

I'd bet they add the purple abyss. It's not a water slide, it's in the boardwalk where it ends. I think all the oasis class have it but allure. Shouldnt mean removing anything. I wouldn't worry.

I'm not a cramer fan either. I merely said he called my attention to rcl is on fire today. I'm wondering if someone is buying shares in the open market or why it's up so much today. The news doesnt seem as good as how much rcl is up today. Im asking what I am missing to have rcl catch fire today. Long term of course I'm a fan but this is a big run today.

I think he didnt dismiss them at all. His point was fear of a recession is overblown. He doesnt think the average cruiser is hurting that much and they can afford this experience. I didnt take it the way you are at all. I am rereading what you said. Cramer is a CNBC employee. Who are you speaking of that is arrogant. Cramer? Hes the one I mentioned seeing. He can be arrogant but not sure how much he cruises. I'm not even sure why this is such good news. Issuing more stock? Where is the stock coming from being exchanged. Rereading the news. Burst thru 153. Someone is sure buying. Hard to predict here for me. Take profits and run and rebuy lower or wait. August is a funny month.

I love JiJis

You can always do the buffet, though imo some of the new appetizers were quite good I had last january. Royal allows all the entrees you want except for 1 lobster, changed to 1 maine lobster. Lots of people ordering extra lobster for their newly met tablemates lol. They tried to say one plate at a time and there was a uproar. Seriously I thought one guy was going to physically attack the waiter because he wanted his lobster and steak on the same plate. Lol 5 minutes later another guy at my table wanted spaghetti with his lobster. The one plate at a time caused such a uproar royal seems to have stopped that. People were so mad. Yelling at the waiter mad. I did see one pushy cop get 5 free lobsters. If you are loud enough and a bully it works. Got the floor mgr even involved. I think too many wanted to set a record and see if they could eat 22 lobsters too. I've resorted to booking specialty restaurants to get more lobster.

Lol yes I saw rcl on CNBC just now with cramer liking it. Says people who cant afford it arent the ones cruising. Or some such. He thinks the talk about recession overblown. I averaged down Friday at close 138.xx hurts to pay so much. I had 300 and must have sold before I bought the new condo then waited until after I closed to sell my house 2 months later. I paid 130, 152, 138, and 138. Now if only I can get the rcl folks to add my obc for sept. Who replied with how much obc I get by length of cruise yesterday instead of applying the obc. Why would they not just apply the obc and if they thought I was asking sure add the amounts...do it. Grrr.

It specifically says round trip back to the port. "Travel by tender boat to Santorini’s shore then enjoy a scenic 45-minute motor coach drive to the small town of Oia, where you’ll be dropped off to sightsee and stroll on your own. A roundtrip coach drive lands you in Fira, Santorini’s capital city, where you can explore further before returning back to port." " Roundtrip transfers: Your tour includes motor coach transportation."

I was a little disappointed I would miss the cable cars, but dont want to wait 2 hours. But I'd love cable cars. But I booked the motor coach.

I emailed shareholder credit to get my $100 obc applied to my new Bermuda booking since its soon. They emailed back to tell me how much obc you get for how many days. HUH? Something like this once happened with carnival. I got back a denial because I had more than 100 shares of ccl stock. My pvp called and explained you dont have to have exactly 100 shares, it can be more. I had more than 100 shares, maybe they thought I was asked for extra, idk. I emailed and said yes I'm asking you to apply the obc to my cruise, thanks.

Of course I too am sorry to hear shes wound up in emergency. Sounds like she needed to be looked at. I hope they can figure out what to do and she is better fast.

I did a screen shot and saved this post too, though I have no idea if I will be in Hamilton. I have no idea of anything there, just decided to go and wing it. I do hope it's not beastly hot in sept.

I booked maybe a month ago for rome tours for next may. Didnt occur to me to ask tbh. I had no trouble booking 3 tours.

You cannot prebook any dining packages at this time. Not sure what you mean by you reserved the UDP. Either you paid for the package or you didnt? If it's still in your cart you didnt buy it. Confused what you mean by you reserved it. Yes if the price drops go in and cancel it, rebut and wait for refund. Easy but I book stuff with obc. Credit card refunds take longer of course. Once onboard go to any restaurant or dining person asap and make reservations then for what you want. Cant be done ahead at this time. Usually some restaurant is open the day you board, click around on lunches in your planner and see if one shows open boarding day. Not all will be open that day you are correct. If you can see the times for the shows I'd think you can make reservations but maybe not. They open about a month before. I join a roll call and someone posts they sre open and I run and book my shows. Comedy club is smallest venue, x rated. There might be a comedian in the theater pkg. Cant book this just the x rated.

You are one brave grandpa to plan disney. My head would be spinning.

I've got ABC islands booked next april. Adventure again. Let us know what you see good and places to ear.

That would be a interesting place for me to visit. I love this idea too. Thanks. I'd love gold coins! 🎊

I mostly have dividend stocks, rcl being the exception. Got 500 nvda 92 and a little avgo 129. Time will tell long term if I made a mistake. I hear some talking CNBC head saying we have not hit a technical bottom. Could go lower. Then I've average down or buy more of something else. No one buys perfectly. I didnt own either one before the huge sell off at open. Good for you getting out at 125. Lol. Was in the 90s low at open. My brokerage filled me 92 even. Tomorrow we will know if I made a mistake. Or during earnings. I could sell right now at 100 and run! Hmmm. Rolling the dice and holding thru earnings.

This is also institutional selling. Not just some poor little day traders. Look at the size of this sell on nvda which closed friday 107 ish. Ask shows a 60,000 shares. That's not some little trader. NVDANVIDIA CORPORATION COM $107.270.00 (0.00%) At close: Aug 2, 2024, 4:00 PM ET EXTENDED HOURS $93.67-13.60 (-12.68%) Bid x Size $93.60 x 6,000 Ask x Size $93.73 x 60,000

Mine specifically says must be able to walk 1 mile. So for sure I'm walking around at both places. Mine is also some kind of motor coach.

This is what I'm being told elsewhere, take the ferry or the bus, both are good and fun and well priced. I got over a month to get my mind in cruise gear. Royal is always cheaper for me than carnival lately because I'm solo and get the solo discount. 25% off published rates. Nothing against carnival other than they cost me more $$$. Booked last thursday. Sent in my proof of stock to get that obc on the cruise. Cover tips. We overnight too at the boat yard.
