Boy I can relate, best wishes for the rest of the cruise.

Agree

Six of us booked a direct flight from Minneapolis to Montego Bay, we will be flying mid-January. We purchased the tickets this past June. We were all very please because that is a rare feat for it to be direct for this location. This past week (five months later) four of us got an email saying that they have moved us to another flight that will have a stop in Atlanta and only 50 minutes to catch our next flight. The other two are still on the original flight, I have no idea why? Please correct me if I am wrong, this is considered 'legal' because they are still getting us to our destination and within 1-2 hours of the original arrival time? Lastly having flown to Atlanta many times, I am not comfortable with only 50 minutes to get to our next gate. Especially since I will be three weeks removed from hip surgery. I appreciate any input, I hope I gave you enough information. Thank you.

For what it's worth, I have a villa rented for 10 days this coming January in Jamaica and I am most likely going to cancel. I just checked and 10% are fully vaccinated and just 18.5% have one shot for Covid. We can't risk getting Covid in Jamaica and then having to quarantine for X amount of time before we can fly back. Of course there is the extra expense including any lost wages from work. This is unfortunate as we invited our adult kids and their significant others to join us, all they have to do is get there and we will take care of the rest.

You can move the globe with your mouse and then click on specific locations. There is also a lot of good information further down the page. I hope you find it useful.

I hope this helps someone. When I get to the main forum page I do a hard reset, for me on a MacBook it is command R. This seems to 'help' for a bit. I believe for a PC it is F5. My staying logged in issues seem to have gotten better, for now. I also agree for a company this size these IT issues are far to common. For what it's worth here is what I found out on who owns Cruisecritic.com: "Expedia Inc.: Owns Expedia.com, Hotels.com, Hotwire.com, Venere.com, TripAdvisor.com — plus TripAdvisor subsidiaries CruiseCritic.com, BookingBuddy.com, SmarterTravel.com, SeatGuru.com, AirfareWatchdog.com and IndependentTraveler.com.

I agree, and that is easy for me to do since I live in the upper Midwest and just feel fortunate to be able to take in the warmth and salt air. Someday we'll go much further in our travels, but right now we are not willing to spend the extra money for air. I do admit that Oceania's air inclusion is confusing to me and I am still trying to figure it out.

@funatseascottI need to also thank you for your wonderful contributions to this thread. And if I am missing anyone else that was on this cruise, I apologize. Just a great vibe from everyone, including those who were on shore, thank you.

Don't you gentlemen want to do..just one more? I'll miss you guys, for some reason I feel like I got to know you better this trip. And for some reason, you made me think of this.

Wow, congratulations! Thank you for sharing.

I can't speak for others, I can't sleep in pajamas and haven't since I was six. OP I'm sorry you went through this and you sexual assault. I can't imagine. I hope you were/are able to enjoy the rest of your cruise.

Oh Claudia I'm sorry to hear that, take care.

@candersonI agree 100%, thank you both for sharing.

I wish I could get my feet in the sink, let alone reach down to wash them. Hip surgery is in the future. I think so many people will be like you and have so much OBC that they will make do with the outdated products. You could get some nice Christmas gifts for folks on your list. I was on the Equinox two years ago and was surprised at on how limited the product choices were.

@chemmo Thank you all of that information. As one who is currently using a cane, news like this is reassuring.
