You could also ask your question on the Family cruising board. Lots of helpful posters there and maybe some who have used the bottle in question.

I am assuming that your "(Statute of limitations is up)" is a comedic turn of phrase. If not, please be advised that there is no statute of limitations in international regulations.

I also assume they were trying to be funny about pulling out a lady and throwing her back in. If it was, it was a poor attempt at humor.

What's with Heidi and the bad spray tan.

Uh oh, someone getting thrown under the bus.

I won't miss those little cookies that were the size of a dime.:D

I wouldn't book any ship (or hotel on land) where I considered it necessary to personally disinfect my room.

I don't doubt that some of the people who feel they must disinfect would still do so on the ships or hotels you choose.

Sometimes, it is the need to feel important so name-dropping can happen: "We said "hello" to CaptainX, who we had the opportunity to meet before on several of our HAL cruises."

 

......

There is one person on CC who name drops with the H/FB Director being their friend.

Then there's another long time poster with umpteen knowledgeable posts who practically lives on one line's ships. Probably every Captain, CD, H/FBD, Concierge, etc. know her and I don't think I ever once saw her call any of them her friend.:)

Tobacco Bay and Daniel's Head rents paddle boards if your kids would be interested. Have they snorkeled? That's always fun and you can do it at both TB and SP.

I understand keeping your cabin neat to whatever standard makes you comfortable. What I don't understand is anyone feeling the need to do the steward's work for him/her. What's that about? That's their job, they get paid for it and tipped as well, so what's with the guilt about letting them do it? I don't leave the place a mess or make their life difficult, but I don't feel any guilt about letting someone clean up after me if that's their job.

I didn't see anyone feeling guilt. If you understand others keeping their cabin neat as a comfort level then you should understand some people just want to make the steward's job a little easier.

Oops.

No. Snorkel Park beach has some water toys but no mountains or trampolines:). There's a small inflated slide.

I remember years ago my doctor talking about anti bacteria soaps when they first became popular. She was totally against them, and said in the future they will cause many more problems than they are supposed to prevent. She always said plain soap and water was the best preventive.

Yes and it took me awhile to get DH to stop buying everything anti bacterial that he could get his hands on.

So, this is the warning they have on their page for uploaded photo requirements:

 

 

 

What if you upload a photo that isn't of a white background? Will they make us take it again at the terminal?

Seems pretty straight forward.

"If your photo does not meet requirements, it may have to be retaken at the pier and cause delays in your boarding process."

Well if he had informed me of that it would have been a different matter, there are other issues not a very pleasant experience overall .

Since you don't seem to understand how cruise pricing works, you feel the whole thing is a sham and there are other issues, maybe it's just best that you cancel. You are only going to be more unhappy and find other things you are not satisfied with.

Some posters are being all too kind by referring to gentlemen. ;)

Cruises to Bermuda used to dock in Hamilton then move over to St. George. Sometimes it was not possible to get through the small Town Cut into St. George due to the weather, it's a very tight squeeze. Sometimes they don't know until the last minute if they will move.

It was too windy so we were staying in Hamilton. A "gentleman" was going up one side of a guest service rep and down the other because he had an excursion. It wasn't cancelled, it would just be leaving from Hamiton. Since Bermuda is roughly only 22 miles long, Hamilton being almost in the center of the island and St. George at the far end, it was only a ten mile difference. That just wasn't good enough for him that his excursion wasn't leaving from St. George.

I think guest service people have the worst job on ships dealing with irate and irrational people...and having to do it with a smile on their face.

Haven't sailed NCL for a few years so things may have changed. It used to be that in one MDR jeans were not but were permitted in the other. Not only did I see a young lady turned away in ripped jeans but her friend was also who had on a jean SKIRT.

I highly doubt that the OP would be turned away even if she hadn't contacted NCL directly.

I can't believe that Cornelius was not sent home. What a mess and on top, so poorly executed. The top was absolutely horrendous with no fit whatsoever. The pants were equally bad. At least Brik's outfit seemed to fit well and it looked like there was more thought out into it. To me, it looked like Cornelius just threw something togethe. For some reason, Cornelius seems to be getting passes.

Oh my, those straw shorts, what was she thinking? Spending so much time embroidering and it didn't even make sense or was attractive in any way. I missed it if Tim critiqued it while she was working. She's lucky that the other two were worse although I liked Brik's in a weird sort of way, not that I would wear it, at least, not together.:D

There are degrees of lactose intolerance.

I cannot tolerate fresh milk at all. I have no problems when eating yogurt or other cultured dairy products' date=' nor do I have problems digesting cheese. For me, it's easy. I avoid fresh milk and ice cream. People with a more severe intolerance have to be much more careful with their menus.[/quote']

OK, gotcha'.:) However, it still makes no sense about the organic milk unless the OP meant they want almond or soy organic. Anyway, whatever the OP means, they need to contact special needs and discuss it with the line they are sailing.

Did you just book it or did you pay for it in full? If you haven't paid for it yet you might be more able to work something out. Ask your Travel Agent for help.

With this being so close to sailing, they probably had to pay in full when they booked.

OP, truly sorry for you having been laid off. Hopefully, a job will come your way quickly.

But it is a moral issue!

Yes, I know it is. The reason I didn't want to get into it is because there are posters here who don't want to hear those issues and will buy the crap anyway. I've seen this subject before and nothing anyone says will change their mind.:(

I won't get into any moral issues.

What I would like to know is, why someone wants to buy a knock off? If one can't afford to buy the real thing, do they want others to think they can with the fake?

Another thing that is puzzling is, the OP seems to be concerned only with milk. Those who are lactose intolerant can't tolerate other foods that contain milk and the OP never asked how to handle the granddaughter's complete diet.

I would keep what you have...two bathrooms!

The living space will be bigger than the living space in one cabin but you will be able to spread out. More space for luggage and are you going to have Pack n'Plays for the little ones?

Is bigger better?

Loved Team Past's dance.:)

Holy moly, Erin!
