  1. I’m traveling solo and was thinking of asking to have the bed pushed to one side. More moving space and still a big bed to sprawl in.
  2. It gets real windy in Skagway on the pier so hold on to your hat. There’s a shuttle but it’s not essential, you can walk to town.
  3. No big deal for tourists. Once we get more info I’ll have to look into it more and how it affects business travel.
  4. Looking forward to hearing this. I just upgraded myself to oceanview for the cruise after yours and also thinking of having that table removed.
  5. Are you asking medical or trip interruption/cancellation or both?
  6. I did it on Celebrity and it was the head of Cellar Masters that ran ours. It was fun but the group also makes the experience. 2/3 of the people didn’t show up and they had pre poured the glasses… let’s just say we helped clear a lot of glasses that night.
  7. I would recommend having early dinning time. My experience with kids on celebrity being difficult is those with late dinner times who were hungry and tired. Bring lots of activities to keep your kids busy. Bring OTC kids meds you could possibly need. bring travel sized games, colouring books, books, anything that will keep your kids busy. I still remember some of these from when I was a kid traveling or when my grandmother packed my little bag for church with a toy and snack.
  8. I’ll be late for this weeks weigh in unfortunately. I injured my neck last Thursday and then yesterday passed out for the first time in over a decade. So tomorrow I’m going to the doctors in town (I live in the country but my parents live in the suburbs close to my GP). 15 days till my cruise.
  9. My first cruise I had scheduled my own transfer/excursion and self disembarked because of the timing. Those who waited for luggage were late but our bus was able to wait. The next cruise I have no rush so I’ll let the cruise line move my luggage probably. For my TA I’m using NCLs transfer so they can take care of it. Keep in mind I can carry all my luggage easily down several flights of stairs, just make sure to wear the right shoes.
  10. WhatsApp requires at least the basic plan which is included in AI
  11. NCL allows you to search as a solo traveller so you get the price for solo wether it’s a solo cabin or not. My upcoming TA is on a ship that doesn’t have solo cabins but there is no single supplement. sometimes solo cabins are more expensive than a larger interior cabin if there is no singles supplement on that itinerary.
  12. Also people do cancel or change their minds on excursions. A provider may be able to handle increased capacity and that might reflect in spots becoming available etc.
  13. Lashes and bold lipsticks takes almost no room. Honestly every evening I got dressed for dinner and it looked better than many for “chic night”.
  14. I NEVER travel without extended coverage. Will your basic insurance cover the air rescue or search and rescue? I travel enough to warrant annual coverage and including trip interruption etc it’s such a small cost compared to a cruise I say just do it. If you can’t afford the insurance then you can’t afford the trip. Talk to your provider and make sure you are covered or ask if there is a top up.
  15. Mmmm this is a public platform. Keep in mind not all influencers include parts of their personal life. I am an all be it very small influencer but don’t really share my personal life on social media and I don’t even use Facebook. I don’t spend hours on my platform either. Not all influencers are the same.
  16. We aren’t open to the public but have over 100 stores that carry our yarn and threads. The shop in cobourg was a customer for several years. Toronto on the May long weekend this year will be the place to be. Which reminds me I need to put in my teaching applications soon. My TA this December I am taking in order to start writing my first book. It should be a fun one for any stitchers on this board for sure.
  17. I am really surprised the only option was to unsubscribe from everything. Other companies give you the option to receive less emails sometimes which I would have done. Send me at most one email a week and I would have stayed but daily emails drive me bonkers.
  18. Easiest definition of influencer is someone who gets paid for their social media work. That can be in cash or free stuff.
  19. Finding yarn and fabric stores in port is an essential part of cruising for me. Let me introduce my actual self, I’m the owner of Trailhead Yarns lol.
  20. Wow that’s really reasonable. In Canada it’s 3 times that price. It’s gotten out of control and our plans are already some of the most expensive in the world.
  21. That’s why everyone I knows uses WhatsApp. My ex and I never actually used SMS because half the time at least one of us was out of country, we just used WhatsApp. If I’m out of country or might be just text me on WhatsApp. OP doesn’t mention how many days in port her TA may have. If their are 3 port days in addition to the days in Barcelona then it adds up quick if she plans on paying 10$ a day for her phone.
  22. Data security is also why you don’t see wifi as much in Europe.
  23. Tried to add it for my cruise this December but it turns out it can only be done before final payment. Half my flights are already booked but since I upgraded to FAS after final payment I thought I’d try getting a better deal on my flight, no luck. All is good however since I just upgraded my cabin including adding FAS for $62 CAD.
  24. Thank you. I use to operate an eco tourism company in a national park in Canada and live within the boundaries of the park as well. As you said just pay the fee and support the park/forest.
