  1. Looks super cool in those 90's retro party on Lido deck.
  2. For your own good, just let it go. RCCL ship crew are all adults and can make their own decisions when it comes to accepting an employment contract. They don't need your help nor did they ask for your unwanted sympathy.
  3. Two interesting things I observed while taking PV local bus. Sometimes a street performer would get on a bus and play or sing a few tunes for tip. If the bus is very crowded, a rider boarding at the back would give his bus fare to other passengers to pass on to the driver. Also do note local PV buses have no AC.
  4. Become a full time TA and travel writer.

    Penang, Malayasia

    No need taxi. Penang has free shuttle bus to downtown and other point of interest.
  6. The best part: it's free and equipped with very clean public washrooms.
  7. Simple solution. Cancel existing booking and rebook online at lower tax.
  8. Not necessary true anymore. MSC is also raising cruise prices and cutting back on some perks like everyone else.
  9. I was in Ensenada 2 weeks ago. Vibe was relax and calm. Locals were friendly with the usual pushy vendors. Didn't see a single Mex beat cop, assault rifle toting soldier or patrolling gun truck anywhere unlike in some other Mex ports.
  10. CCL would not refund my lost airfare even though the amount was only $85 pp and the cancellation was entirely caused by CCL. Not happy.
  11. If I read the terms correctly, the current offer is only good for bookings made directly with Princess. Any booking using an outside TA does not qualify. Is this correct?
  12. When you are a true top 40 music fan, you stay current on all the new hits, not just oldies.
  13. Yeah. Disco night club had all been phased out on cruise ships. So should the 70's disco songs. It's 2023. Bring on the Swiftie parties.
  14. This is precisely what prevention & deterrence are all about. Nil drug finding means the practice is working and meeting its target.
  15. I was on Dec 2 sailing. If anyone knows how I can apply for reimbursement of my nonrefundable air ticket from Carnival, please assist. The link airreimbursrments@carnival.com mentioned in the letter took me to a Reimbursement Form that has nothing to do with refund of airline ticket. This form also has no option for attachment of supporting documentation which is a requirement mentioned in the letter. Am I looking at the wrong place? Is there another reimbursement form I should be using? Any insight on this would be much appreciated.
  16. FYI, not all TAs deal with MSC.
  17. Being intentionally late to an appointment or dinner reservation is rude.
  18. Kind of short sighted and single minded attitude. Cruise ship visits not just support port area businesses, they also generate tax revenues to fund other public services and projects that benefit local residents, provide employments to cruise ship related spinoff industries and attract investments into the area. Environmental concerns can be managed through cooperation between cruise lines and local government authorities.
  19. Go to Youtube. It has some 2023 Brilliance of the Seas Alaska videos.
  20. They certainly do that with ship captains and senior officers. Most are non Americans.
  21. Email is the way to go. Gives you a paper trail to go back to if things go wrong.
