  1. usually these cruises depart in January or March
  2. ENVELOPES? In all my 60 yrs of cruising and traveling never gave an envelope Always put a currency in the palm of my hand shook hands and said thanks before and after LOL
  3. We are looking to do one of the following tours offered from our cruise ship this winter. A glass bottom boat or Placezcia Lagoon and Mango. Has anyone done these tours
  4. The best Vealchop is in Jacques, don't even think of getting Vealchop in anyother specialty restaurant. There vealchop is a cut we very rarely see in restaurant in the US.It has always been consistent since the Marina and Riviera 2014.
  5. You are absalluty correct. Except for SM we don't do drink packages so OBC might be a little less.
  6. LOL I never go into the casino. Spend it on bottles of wine😀
  7. The longer the passenger's are on board the more they spend and gamble ,makes more sense then saving fuel.But the fuel may figure into it.as a savings
  8. Do we think if a cruise line docks there ship in a port from 8 am to 5 pm,and then decided to leave at 2 pm they get a refund for leaving early? I doubt it. Plus the extra expense of fuel.
  9. watching The Fall 2nd season on local PBS station in NY. takes place in Belfast.
  10. Except SNL DATELINE ON NBC and 20/20 on ABC these are both pre recorded. Have to remember all live CC is done by human beings typing like court stenographer
  11. I went deaf over 20 yrs ago and have a cochlear implant. I've learned over the years that shutting the sound off while watching with CC is sometimes more beneficial a lot of cc. is delaid in transmission
  12. It would be interesting to know how the passenger's who took independent tours where notified if the ship had to depart before its scheduled time.
  13. we did this on a cruise ship tour many years ago. My advise go with the ships tour. It's over 3 hrs to get to Hanoi over very hilly highway. This way you won't have to think about it.
  14. Yes. But that's mostly for people who want to book a table for 2. For sharing its not a problem.
  15. You can book all together do no have to wait. Did this last year on b2b. It might seem unfair to those on second half of your cruise but thats the way it goes.
  16. I forgot about the newspapers in the lounge. The only drawback is u have to read it there can't take them to read in your room or elsewhere Up until about a year ago always payed for printing NYT and delivered to my cabin.But got the app so don't have to pay LOL
  17. A-catagory veranda you get. Free laundry but on 7 day cruise really don't matter I guess. But you do get to choose specialty dinning reservations a few days before lower category cabins which to us is important
  18. CASH IS KING what ever the currency so don't sweat the details
  19. Hide your Valentine's cards in your luggage before you leave town.
  20. If it's that important and necessary disembark the port before before and fly home
  21. Back in 97 on the Royal Viking port of Shanghai, tour group stuck on train coming back from tour. Ship waited 6 hrs so tour group could get back. Departed at 11 pm instead of 5 pm. Arthur Former always said "take ship tours they won't leave with out you".
  22. Then ship tour passengers would be bussed to that new port that's nearby?
  23. Have no fear the ship will never depart from port until the ships shore excursion returns. That's the piece of mind with ship tours.
