Whether to book through HAL or on his own, I think

Didn’t realize that. That’s too bad.

I would bring a couple of short sleeve shirts, a couple of long sleeve, and maybe some type of fleece, Layering is key, so is the type of fabric you choose-some type of polyester/rayon/spandex is lightweight and dries easily. Eddie Bauer makes an Infinity Tee that I love. It dries in a few hours. You could probably fish your closet for something similar. Cotton takes forever to dry so I’d avoid that. I usually bring 2 short sleeve tops, 2 long sleeve, and 2 couple of fancy blouses in neutral colors and you can change the look with scarves or necklaces. For Pants, 1 pair of jeans, and an a pair of lightweight pants. Palazzo Pants are great for evenings. I also bring leggings for warmth or to wear with tops as a nice extra. I would limit myself to 2or three pairs of shoes. I really cut down on toiletries or wait until I’m at my destination. I only bring basic makeup and a mini curling iron. I do pack on the light and wash clothes with tide packets or shampoo while I’m in the shower. I bring a clothes line and a piece a dry cleaning plastic for drips.

I would call and see. If they say no then share that their competition Carnival, Princess, and NCL all make up the difference in onboard credit because they do! I’d let them know that this might effect who you sail with next time!

Pretty sure RCL will do this too, but you’ll need to call

Not sure what cruise line you’re sailing but I know Carnival and it’s affiliates will refund the difference in onboard credit. This happened to us Several times and we called at each price drop and was given onboard credit. We ended up with $200 dollars and went to the Steakhouse several times

I would either book a long cruise 10 days or more, another cruise line, they have no way of affording or a Med Cruise. I do everything to avoid a booze cruise. I realize not everyone can do this, but no college kids in Oct or Nov

I would definitely arrive the day before. Anything could happen to delay making the cruise. This gives you time to address any issues such as customs, delayed flight, lost luggage, etc and allow you to explore Portland which is beautiful. True HAL will hold the ship until people who paid their travel plan, but it is expensive. I would rather take that money and explore a great city but I can’t stand same day flights too much stress. Hope you enjoy your cruise. Alaska is a great cruise.

Is your flight with one of the cruise lines packages. If so I wouldn’t worry. If you booked your own flight, anything can happen. Long lines in customs, delayed flight, lost luggage, etc. Not to be a negative Nancy, but you are really rolling the dice on a same day flight. We always arrive at least a day or so before the cruise if any of the above should happen. From my observations the ship does not wait unless you flew through them.

We used Rome in Limo in Italy, and will be using PK Tours in Greece. Both are reputable and have a money back guarantee if you don’t get back in time, however, we always got back in time. I think you can form a tour with others on each site. Roll Calls are good, we found several good people to tour with on our British Isles Cruise. Check Trip Advisor for reviews of companies. The Med takes a lot of preplanning. Rick Steves has a great book on Med Ports with recommendations and you could do your own tour with the info he’s provided. Some tours are a hour or more from port so you would have to arrange transportation. Enjoy your cruise!

Mary Kay works really for me. Takes eye makeup off really well. I also use it for my face and lips.

Formal night means a tux & fancy dress for Wife'. We then dance the night away.

I second the teabags. For me, dark circles has everything to do with what I eat and how much sleep I'm getting. I try to stick to a clean diet ( cut back on alcohol, processed food, refined sugars, etc) and drink and ton of water. Hope this helps.

You can see Dali's home and some of his artwork about an hour or so away. I'm a fan of his work, although I'll agree the Sagrada Familia and Park Guell are both ahamazing

I own these. They are very lightweight and dry easily. http://www.columbia.com/womens-anytime-outdoor-boot-cut-pant---extended-size-AW8088.html?cgid=women-plusSizes&dwvar_AW8088_variationColor=010#mid=paidsearch&nid=Search%7CBranded%7CProducts%7CClothing%7CUS&oid=NewBrand_Womens_Clothing_Plus&did=columbia+plus+size&eid=Google%2BAdwords%2BUS&s_kwcid=AL!3937!3!68752838487!b!!g!!columbia+plus+size&gclid=Cj0KEQjwmKG5BRDv4YaE5t6oqf0BEiQAwqDNfDEYQyO7VJ5lbc5N47c4AuOwYj01gfwQZm2v9PF9cfQaAjXF8P8HAQ&ef_id=VIXvxQAAAPci6B-h%3A20160504044216%3As&start=2

Oops saw where you said it would be hot. We are the same size. I own some cute dresses from Sahalie that come in plus size and also some from Exofficio and Columbia.

I'm not sure what your tastes are but I like tunics and leggings. I also wear a lot of sundresses. I'm leaving for Paris in a week and since it will likely be cold, I packed jeans, a fitted tee, and a cardigan, I plan on wearing a scarf and my Toms shoes. My jeans are Lees Trouser jeans. They have a flare to them and are stretchy. I think they go up to a size 22 or 24.

Aveda Color Conserve works well

I had the American Table menu on the Glory last year, and was missing it in May while cruising on the Legend! I will be very happy to have it again on the Breeze. I really like the pork chop.
I had a similar experience on both ships. Can't wait for American Table on Vista in May!

What to wear on a New England/canada cruise in late September?
I think someone may have done a post on this. You might want to do a search on it. I would pack in layers for sure! Perhaps someone who is more seasoned can provide insight.

Love that first tie Anita Latte. Great color combos I hadn't thought of to suggest.

I wish my Dad would comply with my Mom at times because he does not always pick the best combinations. Glad you and hubs have a system that works [emoji1]
