  1. Please don't buy on this news but it is good: Japan - https://jp.usembassy.gov/covid-19-information/ Hong Kong - https://www.scmp.com/news/article/3189135/royal-caribbean-plans-set-sail-hong-kong-again-after-tough-coronavirus Asia is a huge market & they are beginning to reopen to some tourism
  2. That position has been renamed Loyalty and Events Mgr so they will always be needed just not as a Captains Circle Host
  3. Now you're just being snarky or under 50. It's a physical device developed in 1929 to record incoming phone calls when the receiving person was unavailable. Replaced by wide use of voice mail [land & cell phones] in 1980s
  4. PRINCESS TAKE NOTE!! Yes I'm shouting!! I meant combine IT & Medallion center not IT & Vines Depends on where you are. Last one had reception just off one. Sometimes wine, beer, or coffee. Point is:: changes after covid. Closed plate over prior phone outlet
  5. Most hotel business centers are smaller than my bathroom. In fact my last 2 hotels in Europe had even removed the individual room's phone. (I only stay in 4.5-5☆ places so it's not bc they're cheap)
  6. Landlines a thing of the past?? Don't some ppl still use those for physical fax machines?? IDK bc I got rid of both years ago Screenshot on my phone, less paper Not tied to an 'electronic leash' bc I don't even own a computer and my phone can stay in my room. My choice This caused me to pause .... how is entering a cc# on someone else's computer more secure than authorizing PayPal on my phone?? now if the point is fewer typos, then yeah .... I 'correct' for fat finger typos a lot. Thats the only drawback I can think of. But still ~~~ But again, what better use can be made of the empty space? Vines!!! Discovery and Enchanted Princess have an Internet Cafe (which could be combined with the Medallion site) but no VINES!! The IT Cafes were empty. (6/26 & 8/30 voyages). So move SDG to Internet Cafe site (it can be small ... no one uses it ... put in monitor dedicated to sports and turn it into a sports bar) and put Vines where SDG is now.

  8. I used to rearrange menu items (like baked potato from 1 plate + steamed veggies from another + cheese sauce) until I found the vegan / vegetarian menu. They're used to it. But I wouldn't order something that didn't show anywhere on the menu
  9. Maybe bc we use a CVP or TA so we don't resolve any issues ourselves?? (Consider me in that group) Wasn't an issue for me. I stuck in my avatar (Koda). The ship didn't like my solution so they retook it. Anything I can't fix beforehand gets fixed at embarkation
  10. Yeah .... can't possibly take 7 weeks to learn how to answer an email. Sorry you're going through this. BTDT
  11. I guess it's just me here but carrying on. Figured out the calorie intact while trying to get back into my denim skirt from last summer (I'm really bad at maintenance): Breakfast - NV bar (160) + coffee (40) so 200 Lunch - yogurt (90) + mango (75) + very few berries so another 200?? Snack - raw veggies no dip no idea but I didn't get here on carrots, cucumber, and cherry tomatoes Dinner - 500
  12. Oh Izena I wish I was anywhere in my range. I'm 25.1 BMI. Will be in range after losing another 1 lbs. I was there but too many cruises Belle how do you stay on track while cruising?? I'm doing more cruising than usual right now while prices are so incredibly low. Q
  13. No way do I tolerate an incompetent CVP and that includes anyone who does not contact me same day (unless day off or sick) at the time we agree on (early afternoon). I will not tolerate the situation you describe @Clampram. The one I worked with for over a decade, MR, was fantastic but retired. Her replacement was a nightmare. [1] insisted on responding at night. I don't answer the phone after 9 PM unless it's one of my children. If they call it's an emergency. Frustrated her to no end so we were obviously a bad fit. [2] She scolded me more than once for going to another source (chat line) when I did not receive a response in 2 days. My solution was to ask a friend on cruise critic who he used and and then call her and ask her to be my CVP in an email. She forwarded that to a supervisor who approved the change. My fallback was going to go to the same agency that that @Steelers36 uses. I don't need it for everything, But they sure are convenient when they are a good one My new one (no I cannot give initials of a currently employed one) returns my calls between noon - 1pm.
  14. My CVP can do it so I'm sure your TA can as well
  15. E407 would be obstructed looking down but unobstructed looking out. Great deal IMHO. I booked the one next door -- E409.
  16. Bought CCL @ 8.69 sold CCL @ 7.03 after recouping 1150 OBC Bought CUK @ 6.50 submitting form for 600 OBC. Do I get to claim 166 loss or is it added to CUK base? Corrected

  18. So I'm curious. Sounds like you have more than 100 shares. Why wouldn't you harvest 100 bought at 37.05 at 7.75 incurring at least a 2,930 loss to write off against other income?
  19. Does CUK holders also get OBC?
  20. Does CUK holders also get OBC?
  21. I went online and checked my cruise fare against some of the agencies. Fare averaged 200 more but obc averaged 200 more so it was a wash. Had a great CVP then one working from home in Hawaii (times didn't work) now back an almost as good as MR one. Staying put
  22. Carnival Ecstasy is supposed to leave fleet October 15, 2022
