Dallas is in the direct path. Specifically mentioned I think was Arlington, a city near dfw, but still close enough I assume we can see it. Schools will be closed and eye glasses handed out someone is subsidizing.

As above if you can find a TA with group prices they are also refundable. And 99% of the time lower than booking nonrefundable direct prices.

No some are regular sofas. You need to put 3 in mock booking and it will show which cabins have the sofa bed. Cabins that hold 3 are a different category from those that hold 2. Often more expensive. .

If people expected a big sale or a upcoming reason prices would drop, they wouldnt be booking now, they would wait. No one knows. I hope prices quit rising.

You know I pinched a nerve and went to emergency to take x rays. At least the doctor thought it was a pinched nerve .. just before I had to board that 14 day carnival cruise. I bought out the grocery store of pain patches ... started developing red spots. Realized changing the pain patches felt like setting my skin on fire. .. I got 4 of 6 boxes of pain patches still sealed. I didnt even know I was sensitive to them. Sure seemed like it. Had to quit using them. The adhesive in them must be wicked strong. A nurse happened to sit next to me in the buffet and saw my arm and said I was reacting allergic to the adhesive.

I was thinking that you probably had rented a cabana. Saved a bunch lol. Yea royal been locking up all them jet skis so no one can steal one and escape either. Sorry. Some been clamouring to cancel so they did.

I think they had no choice but to cancel. I've seen a lot of people calling to cancel cruises going there. They wanted a refund and werent going to get it. Now royal can say the ship isnt stopping there, shuts down the refund talk ... mostly.

I dont even think it's that. I dont eat italian food so havent booked msc no matter what it cost, though I was tempted on a thru the canal crossing super cheap. After covid you could book $500 or $600. I saw a week miracle for $300 ish, not a casino comp, basically just fees and taxes. Now I can barely find anything for 1k more $1500 and $1600. I havent yet cracked the 2k price but more and more getting close. There is a nice carnival journey cruise I'd do but I woukdnt pay over $2500 and it's about $3500 for the bare minimum I'd want. And its venizua the italian ship. Blerk says if you see something you like just book it. Money doesnt grow on trees. If I booked every cruise I see I like I'd be spending so much more. I'll watch for a sale. I already got people saying I cruise too much. Imo I could cruise even more! Some pick expensive cruises and cruise fewer times a year, I try to pick cheaper cruise and cruise more often.

Seems like you just cant catch a break. Hope he doesnt need a operation. I've promised myself to walk and exercise more once I'm moved in and work on myself. Get in better shape so I can live a better life. Dont want to be unders a doctors care like you are dealing with.

My sister cruised with me a lot. She takes seizure drugs. Just for safety I kept all but a couple of pills locked in the safe. Dont want to chance water getting spilled on them or whatever. Nothing was said to carnival.

I admit I start with date and price. I went to a site I cant name which shows prices. Fall 2025 ncl joy and some princess cruise came up the least out of PC. I've done 3 of each of these. I'm a idk. Maybe I'll do more last minute cruises. I'm assuming ncl joy is older from the price. I just want to cruise. I think carnival lines in general have the best last minute prices. It doesnt make a difference what you call tips. Just get me on the ship without me taking out a bank loan. Let me stay on as long as possible even better.

Not sure it makes sense but rcl has been cancelling water excursions in labadee. You cant leave the rcl compound. Kayaking jet skis sightseeing boat.. cancelled.

Must be lunch time there by now. Fruit looks good as a starter but you have a growing boy to feed.

You also dont get the extra 1 pt for suite if you royal up. .though you probably know. That's why I wouldnt.

Glad I met all of you too. Next feb. 2.5 utopia. Did you book it too. .. hard for me to think that far ahead. Got adventure booked this dec next.

The contractor called me back and we agreed to what has to be done before I arrive. 2 lights, painting and cleaning. Hes like oh you will want the carpet shampooed, and this and that. Of course more $$$$ than I anticipated. But it needs to be done before I move my stuff in. Well the lights could wait. He gave me more suggestions on stuff to do when I get there. The mirror and counter in the wet bar. I'd almost rather tear it out, but that stuff can wait. It's a lot of sf. New appliance, idk about kitchen cabinets. Everything is in really good shape. He commented too whoever lived there took really good care of the place. That's what I think too. Cabinets look dated but in really nice shape. I'm very happy with this condo. Cant wait to get there. 2 more months!

Royal evidently doesnt want people straying that far from the island. I booked a boat that goes some along the coast. Did it once before but over 10 years ago. If still unsettled probably cancelled.

Your pictures didnt make me want to swim there.

It's no fun getting older. That's about what my hand therapist said to me. Bye. Today is my skin scan for skin cancer. Let's hope anything she finds can be frozen and doesn't need to be cut out.

Hideaway is a party with a dj. Beach club is softer music for relaxing. Yea food a big deal pizza vs lobster and steak.,

If its refundable then no problem asking for it. Nonrefundable yes can be gotten out in a slot machine. If you get some free money I spin for it first. I get it says $6 but first day gives me $8. Then transfer some amount from your cabin to the machine. If you dont gamble a certain percentage, I've read you can only do this once, so make sure you transfer it all at once. I only got cash out twice, the last time I was sick and thought I must have covid and would be isolated in my cabin. Usually spend it lol. But it can be done and I'm not a gambler.

I check in online, not the app. Try both as one may open before the other. Its midnight the time zone the ship leaves from. Idk about not filling in passport info, I fill it all in. I got one coming up in less than 2 weeks out of Galveston so its midnight texas time it opens. Suites can board 1 hour earlier than their assigned time.

I did the very aft boardwalk balcony. It was loud. They played football games so loud i could hear with my door closed and it's a long walk to the elevator. That being said I liked it better than central park which feels more closed in. I liked being able to see out the aft, though it's not as good of a view as I hoped. I have boardwalk booked again, on utopia for one. I like them for the lower price usually than a ocean view.

It does sound like they dont want people leaving labadee. Someone on your ship? I am sure they will let you all know .. if you rented some thing that could leave labadee. "I just received my cancellation notice for the wave runners on March 17 sailing on the oasis" just have a couple extra lobster and a extra drink and enjoy your cabana.

Sounds like misinformation to me. It's a island, off from the mainland. Not saying they arent hurting but Belize for instance is the mainland. Imo much worse and more pushy. I wouldnt believe every rumor. Just be careful as always.
