    Just based on experience I know how much water I have. I hiking often and my water bottle will last about 10 miles depending on heat and terrain. For a walk around a port stop, I don't carry water with me. If I get thirsty, I stop somewhere to enjoy a beverage.

    The Palermo Catacombs were, ummm, interesting. We went there on our walk from the port.

    They are so pretty. We did bring a bouquet back from Amsterdam for my mom.

    That's the first I've seen of the wooden tulips for trivia prizes. It makes me want to play trivia! ETA: I'm happy to see the tulips aren't just for trivia wins because I have a slim to none chance of winning at trivia!😁

    Our TA does make sure our AARP and my husband's veterans credit are applied. No action is required by us after our initial verification. And yes it applies with HIA.

    I much prefer the crew serving people. The less people between my food and me the better. People can be really gross!😝 Just ask for your salad dressing on the side.

    I bring my reusable water bottle that I use for hiking and fill it onboard as needed. Some people have brought water in disposable water bottles and they didn't have any issues bringing it onboard. I've never read about anyone not being able to bring on a reusable bottle.

    Also if you have time, make your way up to Castelmola. We enjoyed our time there as a side trip from Taormina.

    Anyone can receive service twice a day. When you meet your steward they may ask you if you would like twice a day service, if they don't, just let them know it's what you want. I haven't read of anyone who has requested twice a day cabin service being told no.

    That's fantastic! Now you can relax and have a wonderful cruise!

    @BermudaBound2014 I love cruiseplum! I have been able to reprice in the past but so far, for our cruise, it hasnt worked out for me. But there's stull time!

    The price for our Antarctica sailing is now a bit over $1250 pp more than when we booked in March. Our booking already includes the crew appreciation along with higher internet and beverages plans. It can be a bit complicated figuring out what is the best deal for at any given time!

    It may be that they are being worked on by the crack IT department. Seriously, they do seem to do a lot of website updating on the weekends so you may want to try on Monday.

    I suggest that you ask for a fare adjustment for your current cabin and drop the request to move up to an ocean view. You may have better luck with that.

    I love Virgin Marys. Does the "brightness" come from citrus?

    You're welcome. I think this one can be applied to a current booking but I'm not sure. Hopefully someone else can give you a better answer.

    Most hotels will hold your bags after check out time. I haven't had an experience where they wouldn't. The embarkation and disembarkation ports are a part of our vacation and I like to enjoy them and the meals they offer while I'm there.

    Were you using the app or the website? I usually don't download the app until right before the cruise but maybe I should just for fun and excitement.
  21. Sea42
    Maybe your travel insurance would cover the shipping costs.

    There was recently a very long discussion on this topic

    If only I could borrow the BoA! We're at 136 days until our cruise and no dining reservations available. I started checking at the 5 month mark and now it's a daily habit. Fingers crossed that tomorrow is the lucky day🤞

    Just want to point out that your cabin steward, in any level room, can take your suitcase and have the handle repaired. We've had that happen in the past.

    I would think so because it would cover the weekend following the holiday.
