Why is that? Asking sincerely.

And considering all the parties involved, I anticipate it lasting for a long,long time. Decades?

I hope in big bold letters or something that all passengers are notified and can't say they weren't notified.

Don't most strollers - I assume you mean for small kids - fold up and could easily be in a cabin? Just asking.

Daddy did it but that was back in the 50s!

I wonder if anyone asked them "what would be a fair alternative?" Also, I anyway, as a young adult lived in an apt complex with a pool. I can't remembere if they even had "chairs" but we put our towels down on the concrete. Going to the beach, the same (but not concrete!) And I suppose that no one knows that the sun is a vicious enemy. And that suntans look awful, making one look older than they are. Preaching over.

Same here. I don't even own any dresses any longer. Bob hasn't worn his tuxedo in easily 20 years. We were hopeful when our daughters got married, but nope, they wore light colored suits. Can't over dress the groom(s). And I enjoy seeing others also.

LOL. I thought I was the top googler but you're the one.

??? That's a city not a beach town.

We had a bag done a few years ago and they came back kinda 'dull' looking, not bright. But I'm called "The Laundry Queen." I had no problem DIYing it.

As others have said, for those who have these problems, I'd sure not cruise anymore.

Maybe I can. Not someone who keeps a low profile.

Not for those who see the glass half empty.

Do you mean direct or nonstop? Different things. Direct means a stop but you don't change planes.

I haven't been to Uruguay but I can assure you that there are scores,probably hundreds of places that you can't fly out of.

That's where I disagree with you. Now you have even more to get refunded. And I think a lot more hoops to jump through. Flights - and hoping your next port has any, hotels, meals, etc.

Brilliant post and I almost totally agree 🙂 I'm one of those Left Coast tree-huggers 🙂

That train from Oslo to Bergen is supposed to be incredible and that was just one part of a trip when covid raised its ugly. And we LOVE Hurtigruten and have done that cruise on their now retired ship the Lofoten, a 100 pax ship! You'll love it I'm sure. BTW, years ago we did a Rocky Mountaineer from Vancouver to Jasper, coach to Banff and back to Vancouver. So wonderful. Have great trips. Cat

I've long wondered if the US is just too darn big for good train travel.

I assume you're suggesting that the engineers themselves write this letter that they AND the OP can send. Sounds good to me.

ABSOLUTELY. Go to the top.

But they come here instead rather than in addition to.

I think the nuns I had in school would settle this...in one day.

I wonder/suspect that it's going to be a long, long time. Decades? Or ever if the 'war' needs to end?

Not true at Tahoe. I call them 'foolish flatlanders.' Not really the adjective I used. Stay safe.
