  1. I don’t qualify for a discount but I’m glad I checked this thread. It had not occurred to me that I could switch devices. I was a little bummed thinking I would have to choose between my phone and tablet. Thanks to those who mentioned switching and how easily and quickly it can be accomplished.
  2. I’m pretty sure it’s the turning off that many don’t remember. It sounds like the timer was all they needed.
  3. …….. get off the ship in Nassau. I get it. It’s close, it’s foreign, dock fees are probably low. But my first visit was enough. Been there 3 more times and didn’t bother the last time.
  4. I looked. It’s broken. I can no longer get to Cruise Personalizer. I sign in and the (continue) button is greyed out.
  5. I got an iOS update for the app today. I’m afraid to look.
  6. I like the idea that the Palm is quieter. I have booked all our dinners there, but one.
  7. I don’t know if I could find it again, but I googled “spring break” and found a website that tracks thousands of US schools’ spring break dates. I had the same concern, having booked a March 2 departure. It turns out not a single school was taking their break until March 10 at the earliest.
  8. It showed up yesterday @ 54 days out. 👍🏻
  9. I have climbed a lighthouse in the last year. No pain. No weakness.
  10. I had both knees replaced 3.5 and 4.5 years ago. A couple months after the first, I experienced pain and weakness. Doc did an endoscopic procedure and removed scar tissue that was interfering with the knee. Been fine ever since. Have been walking 5 miles a day since retirement 3 years ago.
  11. I didn’t fill that in and am green lane.
  12. Mine updated a couple days ago. I haven’t noticed any differences. But I’m not likely to unless something stops working.
  13. Thanks for your clear instructions. I found what I needed to alert Princess that I cannot be served dairy products. Of course, it remains to be seen what they do with this information.
  14. I had planned to work until 70. But then a hurricane destroyed my home, work became a nightmare, 2 deaths in the family, and I realized life could be over with little or no warning. Plan B - retire at 66 (as soon as my wife qualified for Medicare). I made the decision 8 months in advance, but didn’t tell my boss until about 2 months beforehand. We moved to a secure 55+ community where my father in law has lived for the last 22 years. He enjoys our company. I walk 5 miles a day. I play (a form of) golf twice a week, volunteer with meals on wheels, watch my wife play softball, paddle a kayak and dragon boat, garden and was elected Director/Treasurer for my 1200 home cooperative community. I’m as busy as I was when working. We spend a month in the NC mountains every summer. We spend a week with our grandkids at the beach every summer. We travel to see our kids and the things in Florida we never got around to seeing when work took up all my time. First post-retirement cruise coming up in March.
  15. Really no different from making free international calls via wifi from a hotel room. I’ve done that many times.
  16. Me 3. Actually, my wife would. I’m pretty sure I’ll still be able to find a drinkable beer under $15.
  17. A lot of FTL hotels near the port offer a shuttle. The current going rate is $15 pp. not sure about the Avid. We are staying at the Crowne Plaza in March and the IHG website lists a shuttle. I believe you must schedule it.
  18. I will get good value from the beverages. That makes Plus worthwhile for me. But dessert means nothing to me. In the best of all possible worlds, everything would be free. Next best would be a cafeteria plan that allows me to purchase extra fitness classes and not pay for the desserts.
  19. I would be willing trade my premium desserts with someone who doesn’t want their fitness classes. But I don’t imagine that could be arranged.
  20. You’re bringing back memories of afternoons at the Jig and Reel in the Old City where I would try a half dozen different scotches one ounce at a time. They probably still have my tasting notes behind the bar.
  21. A nice way to end a season that was well above expectations. 👍🏻
  22. I’m a Vol. At the time I selected that handle, I was in the middle of an exile to Bama country. In fact, as I type this, I am sitting in my daughter’s east central Alabama living room watching the Sugar Bowl. Thanks to all who answered. We live 3-4 hours from the port but are overnighting nearby. We plan to be at the port by 11 and will board as soon as we are allowed. I tend to treat a lot of things as suggestions as long as I’m not hurting anyone but myself.
  23. New to Princess so I’m a little confused. Somewhere in the app, I came across what looks like a function to select a boarding window. But nothing is available. Is that because we don’t sail for another 60 days? When will I be able to select? Or can I?
  24. Fitbit charger. Hard to find. Umbrella. Easy to replace.
