I'd pay maybe $30US to do it.

Yes.

One should also consider what their existing medical insurance and credit card protections cover in regards to medical expenses while traveling when deciding whether or not to buy travel insurance. I suspect that many don't consider this.

This happened 1.5 years ago. Why is this just now being written about?

I know I've seen undercooked bacon on cruises that I felt like could make someone sick. I would always just avoid getting it.

You are smart to consider port days in your decision. I suspect that some people don't consider this when determining if the drink package is worth it.

Carnival and Disney have quite a few three night cruises from PC.

Do you require internet service? That makes a difference in the decision. I never use the internet while on board, so it's an easy decision for me.

Really? Here's the list of The Key benefits: Priority access during The Key designated arrival time (to be communicated via email). Other benefits may apply at specific ports.* Carry-on bag drop off with delivery to your stateroom. ** Exclusive welcome lunch in the Main Dining Room featuring The Key signature menu.*** Access to the fast lane at onboard activities (activities vary by ship)and private time at the Flowrider*. Priority departure at tender ports of call from ship-to-shore. Dedicated seating at shows in the Main Theater, Aqua Theater, Studio B, and Two70.**** VOOM® Surf & Stream 1 of Device high speed internet per person who purchases the package. On debarkation day, enjoy an exclusive á la carte breakfast and choice departure. Diamond gets most of these? I don't think so.

Basically yes. You can pay hundreds of dollars to be able to look down on the little people.

Lol nope. I'm sure there's many other things I touch in life that are far worse. And they haven't given me e-coli either!

In France I've seen them dump the remainder of a table's bread basket into the remainder of another table's basket, and put it on a new table. Didn't bother me a bit!

I suspect that the reason for the low limit is $$$.

He was the head of entertainment, so his departure could affect the direction the entertainment takes.

Other cruise lines use similar methods. I'm sure it won't be a big deal. Also often when somebody invents something related to their job while working for a company, the company owns the patent. Not sure if that's the case here, but it could be.

I was wondering about this too. Why would anyone need to buy blankets? Just ask the steward for more.

Same here. I use the pools and hot tubs all the time, and they have never made me sick. My immune system works just fine!

It is a serious question. I was thinking about new cruisers, and those that haven't cruised in a long time. I would bet some don't even realize there's an automatic gratuity option. I do like your idea of adding "plus gratuities". At least it would warn new cruisers that they aren't necessarily looking at the total cost.

How is this (daily gratuity) known ahead of time? I just started a mock booking, and I got as far as entering the guests' information, and it's not shown.

Thank you. That information confirms that no state, including Texas, has any special permission in regards to flying its flag with the US flag.

Either way, it does not look good with the hunk of fat peeling off of the front of it!

Nope, not true. All state flags can be flown at the same height as the U. S. flag: https://apnews.com/article/fact-checking-515351943107

Interesting. I've seen them in airports in several of those states. I guess it depends on which airports?

Also chairs. People grab the armrests and edges of chairs to scoot them up to the table.

Never Canada or Alaska?
