  1. I sure agree with you about the cruise option being easier and more comfortable. If we think about it, traveling by cruise ship is a pretty luxurious option.
  2. Good point and of course 100% true. But the thing is, at least for me, I don't want or need an in-depth experience to enjoy most of the places I have visited. We just got back from a 2 week driving trip through Germany. Visited I think 10 different places. Had a blast.
  3. Same here. Two weeks of poor food or crappy itinerary, whether land or sea, is not something to look forward to.
  4. Whatever you call them, the annoyance factor can be the same. I'm not taking cruises to accommodate someone's social media addictions. Folks should do their things but not at the expense of fellow guests.
  5. The itinerary drives our choice of which cruise to take. But to say the cruise is just transportation would be incredibly wrong. Many folks claim the cruise is of little import other than transportation. I actually doubt that is really the case.
  6. My mistake. It seems we have the same process.
  7. I think just about any cruise line & any ship will allow you to have a great time traveling together as a family. Enjoy.
  8. CA, at least in my county, and CT are the same with the age exemption. After I turned 70 the jury summons stopped coming. Now I'll probably get one next week. haha.
  9. In California, I think a certain age can be used as a reason to be excused, but it is not automatic. Seems it might have come about with the pandemic and the need to protect older citizens. Or it might not have. I can't recall really. Seems odd that someone old enough to do all sorts of other important things isn't elibible for jury service in Colorado.
  10. Every cruise ship wifi we have used happens with the phone in airplane mode. If not sure, go to the ship's internet center and ask for help. They will set it up on your phones for you. Happy sailing.
  11. Keep your phone on airplane mode while using the wifi. Additionally, if AT&T allows it, set up your phone for wifi calling. Then, there will be much happiness!
  12. As long as we don't go back to the old days of distributing envelopes on the last night, I'm good. 😀
  13. My question and the post I quoted were about crew salaries on cruise ships. Not about American restaurant workers (I think). I do understand your comment and agree to a large extent. The State where I live does not do what you describe. I think there are also some misleading assumptions. From what I read, a very low percent of American workers make only the minimum wage.
