It’s just like a regular transfer of funds between accounts. If I log into TD Canada I can see my TD US account and do a transfer. RBC withdrew their physical presence from the US while TD was launching theirs. I believe RBC still has a presence through PNC Bank. I moved from RBC to TD for a more traditional experience and ease of use. If you aren’t actually spending much time in the US then I guess a brick and mortar building is not as important.

Thank you for your kind words and sentiments. Sadly, that is not how it ends and emotions are too raw to go into it. I appreciate all that has been said, unsaid, and will be said. You are a very kind group.

Good morning. I remember being issued a UNICEF box at school and carrying it with me as I trick-or-treated. Everyone had coins prepared in piles to hand out along with candy. That was back in the day when some neighbours made you perform a trick before they’d hand you a treat. When we immigrated to Canada, from England, we arrived in October. On Halloween we went to my aunt/uncle/cousins’ house (they’d immigrated two years prior) and stayed in because we had no idea what the heck was going on. That was the first and only time I was ever scared on Halloween. 👻 I tried a Hurricane my first time in New Orleans. I couldn’t believe I could walk down the street with it and kept waiting for someone to stop me. That was a fun trip. I won’t be making butternut squash risotto but I will be roasting it to go with our roast pork and Brussels sprouts this evening. I had some use-or-lose bananas so I’ve made a lovely banana nut bread for dessert. I haven’t been around or posting much these last few weeks. Some devastating health news from a family member kind of shut me down, along with some other issues. Posting in this thread, today, shows me that I’m coming out of it. Now that I am starting to function, again, I have a lot to do. Healing thoughts and prayers go out to those who need them. I will take a look at Father David’s sermon later, @grapau27. Thank you. Have a peaceful day, everyone.

We did our first Princess cruise in March and I was surprised by the number of elderly passengers there were. Far more than I’ve ever seen on a HAL cruise. Talk on the board had led me to believe they skewed much younger on Princess. And I had never seen so many balding men with pony tails in one place! It was weird. Maybe it was a convention.

Like this one I just found while researching sheepskin rugs? Yes, thank you Beloved. So helpful.

You are correct.

There are two lines/doors into the dining room on Deck 2. The one on the left is for open seating. The one on the right is for reservations. It will have a sign saying Club Orange on the non Pinnacle-class ships but it is also for reserved seating. There won’t be a line and, if you know your table #, you can just walk in. Otherwise, just let them know your room # and reservation time.

Yes, this is how I remember it also.

I don’t know what “vacation protection” is. Did you purchase the insurance from HAL or were you working with a non-HAL TA? HAL insurance isn’t required to be purchased until the day before final payment is due but maybe you bought it at the time you booked.

Government bodies aren’t really known for their clarity. Fortunately (unfortunately) I have some experience with them. (<— huge understatement)

Children under the age of 18 are exempt from vaccination restrictions to enter the US. Your cruise line may have their own restrictions. LINK
