  1. Right now, the Jewel of the seas is sailing around the British Isles and stopping in Ireland.
  2. One of the royal ships goes to Tortola. The baths are on Virgin Gorda, I believe, so you need an excursion to get over there.
  3. Thanks for the visa forms. Our trip there was cancelled, unfortunately.
  4. Can you tell me where you got the application for the visa for Egypt? Although we cancelled our upcoming tour for this spring, I would still like to visit there. Thanks.
  5. News Agencies are reporting the Prime Minister has resigned. The International Community is working hard to get a transition government in place. Hopefully, the extreme violence and chaos will soon be over.
  6. This actually happened to us. We don’t know how long the battery was dead. It was just a fluke that we tried the door handle without using our card (forgot we weren’t home), and the door easily opened. We opened and closed the door, and then tried it a few more times, and it just opened, with no lock engaged. When we called maintenance, they said they would repair it within an hour. We were on our way to dinner and didn’t want to leave the cabin unlocked. This surprised the maintenance department, but they came immediately to change the battery.
  7. If the battery for the door lock is dead, the lock doesn’t work, and the door, although closed, will not be locked, and will open when the door handle is used.
  8. Or take it with you as one of your allowed bottles of wine in your carry on.
  9. i have done this twice on royal Caribbean . as Honolulu is usually a turn around day, you arrive early and the ship doesn't sail until late, usually around 11 PM if you plan well, you have lots of time to visit Pearl Harbor.
  10. A couple of years ago, we booked the holiday dinner in Chops for Christmas Eve. There was nothing special about the menu, and there were maybe 10 other passengers besides ourselves. There were a few larger tables of staff. We felt totally ripped off. I think the only thing extra, was one glass of champagne each. The menu they posted online when we booked, was not the menu presented to us that night. Never again!
  11. we are booked to call on India next year. I'm crossing my fingers, that this situation will be resolved, but I'm also not buying airfare yet.
  12. Somewhere I read that the new visa requirements and processes will be published on or fire October 1, 2023.
  13. My time dining is a misnomer. On our recent cruise, it was not unusual to see a minimum of 100 people waiting in line, some with reservations and some without. We would just leave and order room service to our cabin.
  14. My travel agent gave me plastic holders for them.
  15. You can easily walk to the Jewish area, the museum area is a bit farther. Be aware, that you need to purchase tickets online in advance for the Anne Frank house and the Rijksmuseum. “Euros” are the currency of the Netherlands. Cash or debit card are king, credit cards are widely accepted at larger establishments. Cash is not accepted on the trams.
  16. Passenger staterooms are generally not open until 1 pm.
  17. A few years ago, we were sailing out of Baltimore and the ship got buzzed a few times by a Cold War era spy plane. One of our shipmates was a vet and recognized it. I think he said there was a big training base somewhere around Norfolk ,Virginia.
  18. Great review. We saw you and your family in the Concierge Club, and were very impressed with the excellent behaviour of your daughters, and loved how your family seemed to spend a lot of time together.
  19. I don’t think they keep milk cold enough to drink. I’d suggest putting a carton of milk in a plastic bag with ice, and then putting it in the fridge. I know I’ve had bad experience with trying to have milk for my coffee.
