How do you pay Uber with cash since the app already has payment info? If you wanted to pay with cash, why didn't you get a regular taxi?

 

I agreed to the Uber driver from Friday evening picking me up at 11am Saturday. He drove me to a liquor store to pick up my champaign and then to the cruise port. Since there were thousands of motorcycles there for an event, he asked for more money.

Update on the suitcase...  The original cost around $85.  I bought a smaller softside replacement for $115.  Carnival sent me a check for $100!  That was really above and beyond expectations.  The service on Carnival is so good, in my opinion.

hi there - thinking about going on the new Panorama solo, but wondering how you met people to talk to?  You sound like you're probably an extrovert, so maybe it's easier for you - but any tips you have would be appreciated.  I love traveling solo, but I do like to actually talk to people at some point!

Yes, to some degree I'm an extrovert.  Mostly I would just start chatting with the people sitting next to me at the casino bar, and the length of the conversation varied depending on if we had mutual interests.  When you hit it off with people, then discussing meeting up for lunch or dinner or to go to shore moves you away from the bar.  🙂
