  1. No. Bermuda discontinued all requirements effective November 13, 2022. I feel like I keep repeating myself…..
  2. Note that there may be multiple passengers and they are on an international flight to a Canadian destination. There may be limited flights.
  3. Also that 8:00 time is conservative for arrival. I have woken up at 7 and the ship is docked at Bayonne. They use Face ID so customs goes fast. However they should not dilly dally as they will be on an international flight. They should do early disembarkation.
  4. It such a small scoop too. A few times I didn’t bother. I don’t know why they offer that as a benefit. The ice cream in the Lido and as a dessert in the MDR is pretty good and much better than the gelato. The Gelato space should be used for something else.
  5. Not all. Some get their status reciprocally. When I say minimal I mean it is no big deal if their card says preview when they get onboard.
  6. Getting the points is good if you decide to cruise on Celebrity again. They could make difference someday.
  7. It does not matter. What you get as Classic is minimal.`
  8. My travel agent is at a small travel agency, 3 or 4 agents that actualy have an office but her agency is a member of a consortium. So a large online agency is not a necessity for a "group" discount..
  9. When I did it was years ago. I had to pay $5 then. I guess they changed it or something else happened. Maybe I had a Newark Penn ticket. I flew out of Newark a few times. Better connections to Europe. I prefer non stop flights. Flown out of Philadelphia, EWR and JFK for nonstops, I took Amtrak up from DC and stayed with friends in Metropark so sometimes did New Jersey Transit. One time pre cruise I stayed at the Gateway Hilton. Is that now a Doubletree Hilton?
  10. The Amtrak ticket fee to Newark Airport Station includes the fee. New Jersey Transit tickets don't. If you price the Amtrak ticket price to Newark Penn and Newark Airport the Newark Airport fare is higher, by the amount of the Airtran fee. So you don't have to pay the feetaking Amtrak at the station becuase you paid fee when you bought your Amtrak ticket. I don't know if they fixed it but I had to wave my Amtrak ticket as it didn't scan. When I returned the Amtrak train was an hour late which meant more than that because all Amtrak trains don't stop there. So I took NJT to Newark Penn and caught Amtrak there. If you decide to stay at the airport hotel when you return you can just go to Newark Penn from Bayoone. I advise that. You don't have to return have return from Newark Airport.
  11. Apple products have better security and ease of use features than Android but in any case for security reasons no matter the distance you have to pair. Android, Apple or whatever. Encrypted links are sent. You can't just connect to random Bluetooth speakers. That was implemented early in the Bluetooth standard to prevent Bluejacking.
  12. That is the Bluetooth range after you pair. You have to pair once. To pair you have to be within 3 feet. My iPhone does not pair with a new device until it is right next to it.
  13. You have to pair them. They have to be within 3 feet to connect to pair.
  14. Coloring books and activities are good for small kids. I don’t think they will be disadvantaged. I don’t think they will be disadvantaged for the rest of their lives. Small kids to me means pre schoolers. It is school age kids that lost out when things went online.
  15. Not to me. The blogger you mentioned, Don is a doofus. I watched a few of his videos and regretted it. I don't know about the other one never watched him. Many othercruise bloggers are pretty bad. The only one I watch is Gary Bembridge. Tips for .......He is not an idiot and his tips that he passes on are things I leaned years ago.
  16. I don't know why Princess banned smoking on balcanies but you are wrong that investigators determined it was caused by a cigarette. There was speculation to that effect but the cause was never factually determined.
  17. They are in India, the Philippines, Guatemala etc, and are reading from a script on a computer screen.
  18. They won't. The TA's are either sharing commission or get a perk to hand out from the cruise line based on their sales of that cruise line. Or if they reserve group space they get an OBC to give out if they sell a minimum number of cabins.
  19. Actually all states are now issuing Real ID DL’s. Not everyone had one because they either have not gone through the renewal process or they choose not to get one. Because of Covid the DMV was not doing in person renewals in many states. That is why the date was extended again. In some states Real ID is optional. Then it will be on the individual if they choose not to get a Real ID license for other ID to fly assuming that using a Real ID license as a ID for domestic flights ever does go in effect.
  20. It was discontinued on November 13, 2022.
  21. I believe most do it on purpose. They want some kind of attention. People drive around here with music blasting out of their cars. Not even decent music…..
  22. Those jammers were and are illegal. I doubt that they would work block Bluetooth. They are designed to block cell frequencies which are very different.
  23. Sometimes they are. They might have an OBC or some other perk. You can compare with what other agents and with booking direct to find out.
  24. Talk to your travel agent. Some are members of consortiums that book a block of cabins.
