Can anyone tell me how much a bucket of beer costs these days? We're sailing on the Fascination in September and curious how much a bucket of Coronas would cost (how many bottles does it include?)

Thank you in advance,

Susie the wife lol 

Sorry to go back to the subject of rude shirts... I once saw a very big, bald headed man wearing a t-shirt of a black man with his neck in a noose...  I find that very offensive. How do you explain shirts with pictures of people having sex to a curious 8 year old???  I bought my husband has a t-shirt that says " Let's play carpenter, first we get hammered and then I nail you." I think it's funny but he doesn't wear it in public...

Thank you for all the advice!!! We booked on Boxing day and  ended up getting a better price leaving from Montreal on Delta (YUL to JFK and JFK to SJU). Yay, only one flight change!  The layover is only 4 hours, so that works out. We'll have time to stretch our legs and rehydrate 😉 

Thanks again,

Susie

I'm in Canada, but I've noticed a few of our stores have resort wear or travel wear sections

By the way, as a member of the retail service industry, $15 per hour is not nearly enough to survive with the cost of living. I work hard at a job I love for $14.05 per hour (because it makes me feel good). It's against policy to accept tips but I do appreciate a kind word or review. Here in Canada, people in the service industry work for less than minimum wage because the government expects them to get tips to supplement their income. That being said, I am lucky that my husband is salaried for the federal government here in Canada, otherwise I wouldn't be able to travel! When we cruise/travel, I tip depending on local custom and total cost of the excursion/ service. I am happy to tip because I know the realities of minimum wage.

p.s Sorry if there are grammar mistakes, French is my first language! 

Can anyone with experience flying from Ottawa or Toronto to San Juan Puerto Rico help me? We're wondering what's the easiest way to fly to San Juan from our neck of the woods. Or would Ogdensburg, N.Y. be an option? It seems a bit early to book my dates for September 11-20, 2020 yet.

Thank you in advance,

Susu

My DH and I were in Labadee about 4 years ago. A couple of things to keep in mind are that the beaches are rocky, so bring some water shoes if you have sensitive feet. I think it's less rocky where the premium spots are, not sure if you're interested in renting a cabana? If you like buying local crafts, just know that the vendors are quite aggressive. I felt very overwhelmed to be honest. I started speaking French (I'm French-Canadian) and things calmed down a bit. Live and learn I guess! As an excursion, we booked on a party boat that anchored by a sandbar. It was really cool! The operators of the boat are Canadian and were a lot of fun. The rum punch was strong and there was good music! I think they had a family option as well. We sailed with Royal Caribbean. Things have probably changed a bit in 4 years? 

Just off the ship (January 18th). Loved it! It was our first RCI cruise and we loved it and definitely want to sail with them again, and again lol Loved our cabin, loved the staff, the food was pretty good. We did not enjoy the MDR... Felt like they were rushing us out of there. Maybe that's what happens with MTD? We ate at Chops and could always find something to eat in the Windjammer. We especially liked having pre-supper cocktails at the Boleros Tequila bar on level 4. Alberto the bartender was awesome. We also loved the tranquility of the Solarium pool. The itinerary was also very good (6 day Western Caribbean). It was a really positive experience and can't wait to bring my girls on the Independence.

As I am divorced, I need a letter to travel out of the country with my daughter.. also, we don't have the same last name. In the letter/form my lawyer made out you would read:

• names of persons travelling (in my letter it is stated like this: I___________, authorize Susie blahblahblah to travel with our daughter Gabrielle blahblahblah)
  
• passport numbers for parent travelling as well as children (We're in Canada, so most everyone has a passport)
  
• address where you live
  
• phone number
  
• dates of travel (start to end dates)
  
• where you're traveling to
  
• permission to seek medical treatment
  

That's all I can remember at the moment. You may have different requirements in the USA. Maybe check your government website, we have a travel form on ours.

I think they're talking about cellulite (sp?)...

Please tell your wife that she will feel so much better after! I had a breast reduction 10 years ago, after having my daughter. The surgeon took off 5 lbs of tissue! Afterwards, I was sore but it didn't last long. They usually give you good pain killers haha I'm still so happy I went through with it! Good luck to her <3

Susie

So, what do you think of them? Does it work with your wardrobe?

Hi!

I saw them in the check out area. Mind you this is in Canada but Walmart is pretty much the same layout wherever you go. I can't remember the name on the packet.... I should of written it down! Ugh!

I was just at Walmart this afternoon and saw these clip on camis. That might work with your sundresses without adding bulk and making you feel hot. It was a 3 pack and came in black, white and a beige. From what I understand it clips to your bra straps! I hope this helps?

Susie

Congratulations to your wife on her incredible weight loss! I too know what it's like to have breasts go flat... after I had my daughter my breasts didn't return to their normal size and they went flat. Because I was very large I was able to get a breast reduction. It was the best thing I did! Maybe surgery is the best option but if it's not can I recommend a professional bra fitting? I used to fit ladies for bras, and it can make all the difference. The bras themselves can be expensive but when it can give you the confidence you need, I say go for it!

Same thing for Canadians stopping in certain ports. My husband couldn't donate blood after a visit to Honduras.

I would like to second what the above poster said! I wish you the best of luck <3. I was wondering if you could wear camisoles under your dresses?

I'm a size 16-18, 39 years old and just tried a swimdress for the first time(this summer). I absolutely love it! I bought mine at Walmart. I might try swimsuitsforall for my cruise in January.

If you don't mind online shopping there's a Canadian website called killerkurves.com and it lists International plus size clothing companies. A lot of them are American :) I would also add holyclothing.com... they have beautiful semi-formal dresses and palazzo pants, all handmade and in cotton!
