Probably want to abolish testing altogether, but are not allowed to abolish it. This is a way to comply without actually requiring a test.

Retirement?

With sandals or other open-toe shoes, never. If it's cold I may wear them under slacks or with a dress; If I do, I always wear enclosed shoes. With dresses, I buy good quality hose that are thin and very neutral beige to be transparent on the legs. Quality and good fit are crucial (I wear them so infrequently the cost doesn't unreasonably add up). Cheap hose don't fit well and look awful.

Easy Spirit Traveltime clogs. You can get them with a backstrap if you need/like one. Tip for these or any shoe with removable insoles: Take out the insole and cover it with a low-cut athletic sock, the foot part on top of the insole and opening underneath. Put the now-covered insole back into the shoe and you now have the comfort and absorption factor of wearing socks without "wearing" socks. Easily changed for laundry purposes and protects your shoes from the sweat factor.

Loose shorts/capris and summer top. Walking sandals. A sundress would work well also.

I've seen them with a smooth lining/underlayer that covers and then the strips over that.

I rarely buy form-fitting clothes any more so I don't often need to use shapewear and when I do it is very light (just enough to give a smooth line). I'm a comfort person and believe that no one looks their best if they are hurting. I'm sure many people can wear shapewear comfortably, but I've never had much tolerance for it.

You are fine on Carnival.

This is what I do as well. Dress up black pants and top with blingy jewelry or a fancy wrap or scarf.

Yes

Would love to see Savannah as a port. Beautiful city and well-equipped to be a homeport.

You can show proof of vaccination. or you can test, Your choice. No need to test if vaccinated.

When I have a prepaid package, I take a stack of ones and give them out as warranted - not for every drink, but if they provide extra attention, they come to me rather than me going to the bar, they also bring a water, etc.

I may actually consider booking with NCL again.

I would love to see Savannah become a cruise port.

Several times DH and I have had a cabin = that had a sofabed that no one used.

I have this same question
