Thanks for the information.

When you look at your Payments section does it just say "Onboard Credit" or is it notated in some other way? Does it show as $100 each for the first 2 people in the cabin or a single $200 post? We have a May 9 sailing and I think what's listed for us is what we have from when we first signed up.

Thanks!

Or try a good mayo-curry dipping sauce!

We ended up getting great airfares through the Princess EZ airfare program.  

Not only fairly painless but it is a wonderful feeling that night before the first 1/2 ends to see all the suitcases in the hall and know you're not leaving. Of course at the end of the next segment you'll be the one leaving.

We have a cruise from Vancouver to Alaska scheduled for May 9 with a flight from Seattle to Vancouver. I just asked my DH is he has any concerns about going-I don't and he said he didn't either. Of course we're retired so a 14 day extension wouldn't be a problem for us. The only problem would be for the neighbor who would have to continue feeding the cat.

When you logged in and chose your upcoming cruise, did you go to the Boarding Pass and Travel Summary, and then click on the Print Travel Summary (although you don't actually have to print it now). That's where all my add-ons showed up.

When I've transferred a reservation for a cruise booked onboard to my big box travel agent they've done whatever needed to be done to transfer the booking.

We have found a European outlet behind the bed. Takes a bit of effort to find it but it works well for our CPAP machines.

Slightly different option but we bought a fabric hanging set of shelves. Not sure what to really call it. It has a Velcro tab that wraps around the bar in the closet and then has several shelves/cubbies that hang down. Great for underwear and socks. It's not too wide-found one in the nursery section at Target and another one at IKEA.

5 of us from our CC roll call did a private tour. We were met at the ship, driven to the airport, met by our guide when we got off the plane and he was with us the entire time at the falls. We did the upper and lower trails, stopped at a park area where you could see Brazil and Paraguay, a short tour of the town and back to the airport. Again, met at the airport and a transfer back to the ship. Yes, it was a long day but worth it! 

I think I've found them before at Cost Plus World Market along with several other European sweets.

Was there much discussion about the designer of the Statue of Liberty? I thought Frédéric Auguste Bartholdi designed it and Eiffel helped with the metal structure.

You can order water ahead of time but it is pricy. It's called Open Water and comes in aluminum cans. 12 bottles for $48.30.  6 bottles of Acqua Panna is $27.60.

We took a cruise on Holland America that included Hawaii on the way to French Polynesia. We had a number of activities before Hawaii that included hula lessons, a ukulele class and lei making. It was a fantastic trip. 

I called my big box travel agent today and was successful adding the drinks and gratuities to 2 cruises-our May Alaska cruise that is past final payment and a Hawaii cruise for April 2021. She did say that I would have to get the full package because one of the cruises didn't have wi-fi already included but when I checked my personalizer (while on hold) we did have wi-fi so was able to get the $30 price. I figured with gratuities being nearly $15 per day that leaves $15 which just one drink and a special coffee plus a bottle of water for shore excursions will more than cover the cost. After that any beverage I want to try (who knows, I may find a new favorite) will be on the house.

I appreciate your reply. It looks doable. I have until December to strengthen that stupid knee so hopefully all will be good. Can't stand the thought of missing what looks to be a fabulous tour.

My question for everyone who has taken this excursion--how far down into the water does the ladder go? Or any idea of how many steps are underwater? A knee problem makes it difficult to get back up if the lowest ladder rung isn't very far underwater. Thanks!

Because the World cruises always sell out you might wonder if they'd ever consider a 2nd ship for a World cruise? Repeat cruisers would then have a choice between the known and a slightly different experience. 

Thank you for the photos of the yarn-although my keyboard was in danger from my drooling over the wonderful assortment for an amazing price. I still have the yarn I bought in the Falklands last January-can't decide what I want to do with it but I love just looking at it.

I managed to know garlic! Everything else was "huh"? Good luck!!! And your blankets are so pretty and colorful. 

Kathi, the photo of you with your dining steward at the Gala Night dinner is absolutely beautiful. A keeper for sure! Sounds like a fabulous cruise so far-happy sailing.

For our cruise last October we received multiple emails-1st that the medallion couldn't be shipped; then it was going to arrive by Oct. 25 (sailed on Oct. 19), next it wouldn't arrive until Nov.1, one more update and it finally arrived on Oct. 22. It took very little time at the port to have one issued. The medallion was shipped from Miami to the Seattle area.

Stupid Baked Alaska Parade with the napkin waving. 

I cringe whenever napkins start waving-I want to duck all the crumbs and germs being flung around the room. Yuck!

Good luck with trivia Kathi! Always enjoy your recap of the questions asked. Have a fantastic journey.
