I don’t have any good suggestions, but I feel there’s a joke here somewhere. A family member a friend and a priest walk into a Polish bar…

Back when I lived in the big city, we’d sometimes want to go visit something in one of the dodgy neighborhoods. We’d go on a weekday morning. You know what goes on in dodgy neighborhoods on a weekday morning? People going to work. Grandmothers out doing their shopping. Kids in playgrounds. Joggers. Etc.

we break that stuff out only if there is an art auction going on.

It will look something like this

That’s how my parents were. Like many aspects of an “old fashioned marriage” it seemed a bit off to me, but it worked for them. Happily married 50+ years.

For fun, you should switch. See how it turns out.

Nope. Not me.

They question isn’t whether e-muster provides the level of education you expect. The question is whether it does a worse job than in-person. I guess (just a guess) that if you asked people five days after an in-person muster drill what deck their muster station was on, a lot of them wouldn’t know.

I’m not a fan of the job he’s done as CEO, but that’s a cool story. Anyone know if/when mainstream cruise lines will return to Cuba?

From a corporate standpoint, service cuts are good. Something to be rewarded.

In person Muster Drills changing 4/1/2023?
wcook replied to nmuller328's topic in Norwegian Cruise Line
Cruise line listens to customers. Makes change for the better. What a concept! And now I grab my big bucket o popcorn and wait for the posts saying we are all going to die because of this. -
I’ve been doing some math. It looks like there are two options - get sick, don’t get sick. That makes the odds of getting sick exactly 50%, no? Anyway, I’m sure anyone who ever had norovirus or similar that may have come from a cruise will be very cautious going forward. And I don’t blame them.

Was there any sort of fun ritual?

My brother’s family has two sides. One likes to make sure that everyone has coordinated outfits. For the pictures you know. The other side wants to kill the first side 🙂. So much fun (for me, not for my brother) traveling with the gang.

Cue the King of the Hill episode when Hank - honest to a fault - tells the gate agent than no, he did not pack his own bag.

Microwave in the sushi bar? That’s just wrong
-
I’m guessing what you are thinking of are drinks that go over the $15 limit. If the drink is $17, you are charged $2 for the overage, plus $0.40 as a mandatory 20% service charge on the $2.

So you always use a straw?
-
Must be fun sailing Eastward across the date line. You go to sleep on Tuesday and when you wake up, you’ve got a whole another Tuesday.
-
And there’s a US consulate in Turks that handles passports. I’m sure everybody here means well, but it’s as if you are making up problems that are extraordinarily rare, or don’t exist.

How will cruises be affected by 5000 mile seaweed blob?
wcook replied to ontheweb's topic in Ask a Cruise Question
Threatening tourism and the cruise industry? You aren’t thinking like a cruise line. “Attention passengers, on Tuesday we are switching from a port day in the DR to a sail-by visit to the giant green blob!” -
Um, if there’s a medical emergency they are going to be coordinating with the cruise line no matter what.
-
She’s thinking about a short cruise out of Florida. The Bahamas and Turks both have active US State department presence. Plus, they have pretty good medical care if it came to that. Come on people, it’s not like she’s going to Eritrea.
-
Almost certainly will be no problem. Worst case scenario she has an emergency and gets delayed a day or two. The only thing I’d worry about is making sure her birth certificate is an official government document, especially with an older document

Call me a cheap bastard, but if I’m paying over $20/day in mandatory tips on drinks, I’m not tipping on top of that. And I’ve never had anything less than great service. But I think it’s awesome that many of you are generous
