You could probably buy some near your departure port.

The general rule of thumb is that rest time should be the same as cook time.

That was our experience on a Galapagos B2B. Even nicer since there were no immigration or customs formalities.

When I make pizza, it takes over 24 hours.

Not a problem at all.

That generally applies to U.S. airlines. Others are more enlightened and have earlier booking windows. I can't say I've ever seen that. Every airline I've ever used rolls their window over every day.

You can always have EZAir ticket early if you want to upgrade before the standard ticketing window.

TAs can issue either refundable or non-refundable. Just because your TA does it one way doesn't mean all TAs do the same.

Yes.

Most of the time, their readers in the bars don't even work so you just tell them your room number and they write it down.

On a cruise ship! Seriously, there are more opportunities than you might think. I bought my first set 30 years ago (yes, the same suit still fits) specifically for murder mystery weekends where everyone comes in character. I wore my tails for my wedding, NYE, and sometimes on halloween. Many cities also have black-and-white balls sometime during the year.

It's all about the sticky toffee pudding.

Sometimes yes, sometimes no. The OBC I get from my TA has always been non-refundable.

We love dressing up, particularly to go dancing. For Gala nights on Cunard and P&O, I generally ditch the "semi-formal" tuxedo/dinner jacket and wear formal tails. I have a set of black tails and a set of white tails, and I will sometimes even mix-and-match on "black and white" theme nights.

I'll never understan d the cult of personality that triggers this kind of hero worship. She's a ship Captain. That's all. Nothing more. No more special than any other ship Captain.

If you want to get off that early, you will need to take your own bags. And in that czse, you can get off any time you want, including before 6am. And a far worse experience both on the ground and in the air. You'll have to read the fare rules when you purchase the tickets.

We agree 100%.

Try our B2B2B2B in September!

You have to call to process an exception.

Maybe the new CEO-in-training?

The only discount I know of is for status.

I'm planning one for our anniversary on the Diamond Princess in July. This is the back half of a back-to-back, so I hope I can book the time I want while still on the first half.

We were on the Xpedition (back-to-back Northern and Southern loops) and would book it again. The ship was built for 100 passengers, but they can legally only take 48 now so there's a lot of space and the Zodiac handling is much smoother than on Flora. The guides also said they preferred Xpedition over Flora because they are actively discouraged from socializing with the passengers on Flora. Xploration just seems too small to me. Xpedition had one musician in December 2023 and there was actually enough space for dancing.

Whichever package was included with Yacht Club was more than enough.
