Can anyone tell me what this says? This is the top of the box that holds DMIL pearls.

TIA🤔

 

It had dropped to page 2.

@Fogfog, I think you may be thinking also of this website (below) that tracks cruise ships from a number of ports. People screenshot images and post them to this board often.

CSHS1979 is still posting. She is the Lala of the duo, John can no longer post. 

They are both on the Royal Caribbean World Cruise, she posting occasionally, with pics.

Cheers, h

@NWT Cruiser this "Entry restrictions at land and river borders with Peru and Colombia" is the header for the quote you posted. You are arriving via cruise ship so the restriction/need for Apostilled documents doesn't apply. Read through your link again and you will see all you need is your passport, and to make sure you have it stamped when you enter the country.

Cheers, h.

PS I am no expert so re read the link you posted carefully.

@Selbourne and Lady Selbourne, I am not sure if this will reach you in time for your journey along the Mississippi. It is a link to a post I saved in a roll call so long ago it was hard to find. 

I am following along and enjoying your writings, life on a P&O ship, and the menus with a British bias I would love to experience.

Sky departure cancelled. Now scheduled for 01:00. Weather really broke down about 10min ago.

Cheers, h

They were supposed to have a late departure of 21:20 but I just heard a Port Everglades tower radio discussion with the pilot or tug that it could be 23:00. 

All depends on the storm.

cheers, h.  

Will you be escorting Daryl to a prominent location portside so he can wave to his adoring fans watching his departure from home?

Does Daryl have another brother Daryl?

I had a slightly different situation. Going through a plane change in Schiphol with duty free from LHR. My bottle of whisky was taken by security as it was over the 100ml allowed in the cabin. My hold luggage was processed through so no chance to move the whisky to my hold suitcase. Personally, I wouldn't buy duty free alcohol Manchester hoping to get it through a second security.

Got a text off my sister at about 6pm Thursday 07/12 saying that the itinerary had changed because of heavy wind and rain in the Channel and Bay of Biscay so they would be staying in Portsmouth. 

No updates from her today, and none expected. If I hear anything of interest I will pass the info along. 

Cheers, h.

So glad you got your photos. Do we get to see the newlyweds?

For the benefit of others that may need to retrieve photos that were lost, or whatever, could you please let us know the steps you took.

Cheers, h.

Yes, it is correct.

One can't embark at one USA port and disembark at a different USA port without visiting a distant foreign port, Vancouver isn't distant.

This is part of the USA PVSA. Because you are on a continuous journey on the same ship it isn't viewed as a b2b by the PVSA but as a single voyage.

Apex just notified port it will be leaving 4:15-4:30. No reason given. h

Did you buy individual photos or a package? If you bought the package you may have 'cloud' access still. It is only for 30 days post cruise so you only have a couple of days left to try and retrieve them. 

Try reaching out to the roll call that is sailing now. Also try the lost and found department, no idea how that works.

Cheers, h. 

X has a medical disembarkation happening. notified port at 4:15.

I think this link may help you with some of your questions. 

Basically, those with NZ passports should travel on those passports.

Also, if they left Canada on Princess using their Canadian passports but tried entering NZ using their NZ passports they would be flagged at immigration  as they would not be on the Princess immigration manifest under the correct country. That could get really complex. 

(Dual citizens of Canada have to enter using their Canadian passports to enter the country, just an aside)

Thanks @Ferry_Watcher, I knew neither the USA, Canada, nor the cruise line require 6month on a passport but I knew you would know how it was interpreted on site. 

You are always the logical guy. 

Cheers, h. 

@Ferry_Watcher, could you possibly pop in here with some advice, please. 

@Unicorniceskate, Ferry_Watcher works at the Seattle port and may be able to give guidance from his experience. 

Cheers, h. 

Victoria Graving Dock schedule.

Cheers, h. 

@70sGringo Victoria has a large dry dock that Cruise lines do use. 

Victoria is not just a pretty face 😁.

@tkalina1111, I realize you are new to CC so may not know about Roll Calls.

There is one, not too active, for this sailing that is commenting and trying to find resolutions to the itinerary change. Here is the link.

If no satisfactory resolution can be made for you all maybe try making a silk purse out of a pigs ear and all band together for fun excursions in Victoria and Seattle. 

Cheers, h.

A few scattered thoughts. Ok I’m not quite as scattered as I thought but the idea still needs further percolation, that’s up to you and the wife. 

Marzipan is quite shelf stable if not exposed to air. 

Your wife can pre make her orders, vaacum seal them and store them in a cool dark space.

(A month, or two  even, should not show any deterioration.)

You have used WhatsApp for advertising but your wife has decided that she has enough clients for now so the orders for the upcoming Christmas and Easter seasons are probably through a mailing list where you advise customers that you are now taking orders. (Of course if you use WhatsApp for upcoming celebration orders that works too) 

So....

Why not at christmas start to introduce a second ordering system.

The first will be orders 20 days from Christmas with delivery/pick up as usual. ( the same as you say she is working now.)

The second will be orders in by maybe mid November and delivery/pick up mid December (or whichever stagger dates work best) 

That way you can trial run a system that will allow you to make the second option a one time only option for Easter but it won’t come across as something too different as it was introduced at Christmas. 

You could then continue both systems from there on.

This should also be helpful if your wife is interested in growing her business moving forward.  

If you think positive, making changes so you can both cruise could well end up being a big plus for the business and ease the time line pressures on your wife without any deterioration of her product.

At the top of the Celebrity sub forum there is a link to a spread sheet that carries cabin reviews. Click the link in the first post, it will open the spreadsheet that you can scroll through and find a review of your cabin.
