I think I worded it wrong.  I want to change the little box that says I am cruising on the Norwegian Breakaway on March 31 and put one that shows I am on the Holland America Zuiderdam in Sept.  I can't find that little box to upload.  

I can't figure out how to delete the box that shows the Norwegian breakaway....

I wanted to put the little boxes that show I cruised on Holland America Eurodam April 18, 2018 and add some others showing our other cruises.

We were originally planning on a cruise in March on the Breakaway.  I managed to add that to my "signature" I think.  Now I can't figure out how to remove it.  I also need to know how to upload the one for the Holland Zuiderdam sailing 9/3.  

I see some people post when they have sailed.  I'd like to do this too but can't figure out how to do these little fun things.  HELP

If you are stopping in Cristobal there is only one store that sells coffee, Caribe something or other, and they sell Palo Alto which is from Chiriqui, Panama and is very good. On the Panama Canal Railroad they sell a coffee from Boquete which is excellent. At Puerto Limon there will be lots of people selling coffee in the flea market at the end of the pier. Cafe Britt is excellent and a lot of the cruise lines have a deal with the shopping ambassador where you can buy Cafe Britt and have it shipped to your home in the US or Canada for only $7.45 for 10 oz bag -- you have to order 10 bags however - which is a very good price. The best coffee in Panama is from Boquete. The best coffee in Costa Rica is from Tarazzu. With both it is high altitude, shade grown, Arabica beans.

 

Over on the Pacific side of Costa Rica there is an old gringo, like me, who buys Tarazzu beans, roasts them the day before the ship comes in, and then sells them in the flea market at Punta Arenas under the name "Shade Lady." [it's "Shade Lady" not "Shady Lady"!] Even though we grow coffee, my wife always asks me to bring some home. Coffee, like wine, has different nuances of flavor depending on where it is grown.

 

Buy beans, not ground. Roasted beans have about a year shelf live. Ground coffee has about a 3-4 month shelf life. We sell the coffee I grow to a big wholesaler who sells around the world, including Starbucks - so every billionth bean in your cup may be mine! - so it's not available. But if you want to know more about growing coffee check out http://richarddetrich.wordpress.com/jaguar-java-coffee/

Unfortunately the last time we cruised the PC, it was at the holidays so I bought a LOT of coffee to bring home as Christmas gifts. I paid to have it shipped home and it never arrived. I wrote letter after letter, even went through Celebrity Cruise Line for assistance, sent letter to the Costa Rican govt, etc. NEVER received my coffee. We are hoping to go back to the same place with all of our letters we have sent;; returned mail, etc and hopefully get the coffee...LOL. Oh, well, lesson learned. We will never ship from another country again. If we can't pack it, we won't buy it.

How do you purchase a beverage card? I didn't see that as an option. I bought the beverage package but I doubt we will use it that often to actually pay for itself.

Does anyone know if there is self service laundry on the Eurodam?

Good to hear. Thank you for the post. This is our first time on HAL. We will be on the Eurodam for the Panama Canal cruise April 18th sailing all the way to Seattle (20 days!). WooHoo...can not wait!!!

I just called Celebrity and the 1-2-3 is not applicable until sailings in October....well, Pooooooooooooooooo

so we are staying with what we have....
