When you plug in your CPAP extension cord and let it lay across the floor, place the white bath mat over it and it helps for bathroom runs in the night. We leave the bathroom light on and close the door 90%. I am Diamond and have been during this for years --- now making 2-3 times to bathroom each night (getting old)!

We have taken several cruises out of Baltimore and it is 8-10 hours driving from southern Ontario through Niagara or Buffalo. Mostly on Carnival (prefer their 14 night Journeys cruises) but last one was on Norwegian. Royal Caribbean is also regular there. We stay at a Best Western that has a shuttle to the ship. Works for us.

For our September NCL cruise they booked us on British Airways, 7 hours direct to Heathrow airport in London from Pearson. And return is the same. Arriving early morning day of cruise and flying back on same day the cruise ends. The flight times look OK and we are using NCL bus to/from ship at Southampton. Will know after the cruise if this was a good deal.

Many US schools start in early August and look forward to their time off around Thanksgiving. Early December is a quieter time for us to cruise.
