Geez, that's not cheap fun any more. Last time we cruised (awhile ago admittedly!) I think Bingo cards were $5 each! What happened??

Sounds like Atrial Fibrillation to me. She should already be on meds, long ago! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atrial_fibrillation

Privacy? What Privacy? I gave up on that illusion about 20-25 yrs. ago. We have no privacy. Big Brother already knows everything about you! Ditch your phone. It tracks your every move down to the nearest 3 metres (accuracy)!

^ That is not a pretty sight! lol

WTH IS that?? Seriously. I need an ID.

Card stock might be that old but the laminate layer goes on with your info printed on it, just before you arrive! Incidentally, they used to change the cute card design (around mid-year) every two years or so, but not sure if that still obtains.

Some folks collect them over time and have neat collections established now. Here are a few items in my collection.

As a cardiac patient myself, this ^ is interesting! I didn't know what you've outlined. Myself... I got away with just a stent (and meds) when I had my STEMI heart attack two years ago now but it's always good to know med.technology.

Solution to the peeling problem: Get away from the cost-cutting on laminate/glue and watch the peeling stop dead in its tracks. Get back to what was in use 5-7 years ago when peeling simply was not a problem! People have no idea the silly extremes to which Corporations are going to save 6.4 cents on every 100 cards issued.

And you're probably going to carry that purse anyway -card or no card! They're always trying to build a better mousetrap, even though it's been perfect already, and for ages now! IS the card system broken? NO it isn't. Leave it alone.

No no no, you're an amateur. SO much more effective to take note of their cabin number and ring them with a cheerful wake-up call. Several times. Anonymous AF too!

CARD for me: I collect the stupid things and have a collection worthy of note. Seriously. I'm trying to figure out how my future collection of wrist-bands will be stored in an album. lol Card goes in wallet. Wallet goes in left hand pants pocket. OH the sheer burden of it all! It's scary -and breaks me out in a sweat every time I have to exert all that energy and burn calories to get it out! 'First World Problem' I reckon.........

Agreed. Especially as everyone knows that activity risks immediate ejection from the ship for doing "drugs" on board!

I found this on fb social media somewhere.. ------------------- Costa Luminosa to Transfer to Carnival Cruise Line. Carnival Cruise Line announced today that Costa Luminosa will join the Carnival fleet in September and will start guest operations as Carnival Luminosa in November 2022 from Brisbane, Australia. According to a statement, the acquisition of Luminosa is an update to the previously announced plans for Carnival to take Costa Magica, which will now remain at Costa Cruises. After this delivery, Carnival Luminosa will operate seasonally from October through April from Brisbane, then reposition to Seattle, where it will sail Alaska itineraries from May through September, before returning to Brisbane. The Luminosa is a sister ship to the four other popular Spirit class ships that already sail for Carnival.

Yep, ring their cabin tel.number at 0610 hrs. and again at 0625 hrs. just as they getting back down nicely and again at 0700 hrs. Had to do that one cruise. It works and they are usually less loud the next nite - or you do it again.
