  1. We used https://www.tokyofreeguide.org/ many years ago. Our guide was a retired postal employee who guided to improve his english, which was already excellent. All we had to do was cover his expenses and ours. We used the subway for transport. We asked where he would like to go for lunch, and he took us to a fabulous eel restaurant, which seemed to be very popular due to its long line. We were the only non-japanese guests.
  2. I find the Elliott Report very useful.
  3. DW informs me that the shots were $200 at the county health department.
  4. We got ours last year at our county health department. I don't remember the cost, but it certainly was not $200.
  5. That article, while interesting, is dated May 1, 2012.
  6. FaceTime worked on Thanksgiving day with video 2 years ago on the Explorer.
  7. See https://wwwn.cdc.gov/InspectionQueryTool/InspectionSearch.aspx
  8. We used the pool grill for dinner this past month on Voyager. The salmon and lamb chops were perfect! We will be very sad if it no longer available for dinner. I don't think room service will cut it. Lamb chops right off the grill cannot be duplicated via room service. And the bar is so close!
  9. Same here for our cruise this week. The internet broke our cruise!
  10. Does anyone know if there’s a similar web app for Frankfurt?
  11. Check your prices at home first. I have often found that duty-free shops charge more for the same size/product than state side stores, Costco for instance. It can be difficult to make comparisons though, as distilleries often bottle special additions just for the duty-free shops.
  12. I suspect they communicate via Bluetooth and not wifi.
  13. Currently about 1:1 plus exchange fee on open market. Use your ATM to get Euros.
  14. On our upcoming Lisbon to Cape Town voyage, only Sao Tome And Principe and Namibia aren't included in the 215 countries.
  15. Our T-Mobile plan gives us unlimited texting and 5GB of high-speed data, after which we get data at 256kpbs in more than 215 countries. There is no extra cost or roaming fees. Voice calls are $0.25/minute. No limits or cost in Mexico or Canada. Worked great last November on our Explorer Caribbean cruise and on a later trip to Britain.
  16. Note that there is a Roll Call for this cruise.
  17. Airline (Singapore) says our flights are confirmed but not ticketed.
  18. I just noticed that our air schedule has been posted (not sure when) on our cruise's VIEW CRUISE DETAILS page for our November 10th voyage. I am wondering if this is accurate, i.e., have the tickets been booked? When should I expect to receive confirmation from Regent? jim
  19. Agree with @Gpilon except that there was no construction on our November 2021 Explorer cruise. Since we had only a half day to explore our first time in Miami, it was nice to be less than 1/2 block from the free Metromover.
