Falmouth?  I didn’t know anyone tendered at Falmouth.  Built for big ships of Royal, I was there on Celebrity.  EM

Or get a henna tattoo.  EM

Covered here frequently.  Carnival won’t budge.  The excursion companies insurance company sets the rules.  Maybe you can find a similar independent excursion that will allow.  EM

I am of the school that says for perhaps your only cruise to Alaska you should sail on an itinerary that includes Glacier Bay.  The major lines that visit there are Princess, HAL and NCL.  Why Glacier Bay, you ask?  The other glaciers that appear on itineraries are often missed due to ice, but I cannot remember hearing a ship missing Glacier Bay.  Hubbard Glacier is equally impressive, but it can be missed, primarily due to fog.  Alaska should be for the itinerary, cruise line perks secondary unless you are traveling with children.  
   You also need to decide if you want to sail round trip from Seattle or one way from Vancouver.  I would go to cruisetimetables.com and put in Glacier Bay in ‘cruises to…’.  It will tell you who calls there and their itineraries.  There is also lots of good advice and experience on the Alaska board here under Ports of Call.  EM

And there are those who think they got a scoop, only to find the topic was covered three days before and is not on the bottom of page 2.  EM

Looks clear.

 

Clear today…the match with Djokovic did not end until 0308 Paris time, which is 9:08 EDT.  EM

Perhaps a crazy question, but do they ever offer henna tattoos?  EM

Paul, ready for a math story problem?

 

If the French open is 9 hours ahead of PDT, or 6 hours ahead of EDT, and you are watching it at roughly 6pm EDT, then Live coverage should have ended at what time?

 

Quick answer, long before you were watching it on TV and it was a replay of an earlier match.

 

That's my hypotenuse

Paris has been inundated with rain so it’s quite possible they were playing past midnight.  EM

No.  Has to be cans.  No bottles allowed.  EM

Possibly only one gala/elegant night.  There will always be a white night.  Tropical night.  60-70-80-90s.  Casual nights.  This is from Seashore in Dec.     EM

 Wearer of booking any cabin labeled as junior.  They are going to be smaller/tiny.  I particularly noticed on Divina and Preziosa they now categorize the cabins in the bumpout area (that does not exist on the first two Fantasia class) as junior insides, OV, balcony…. We had one of the insides on Divina and indeed it was tiny.  This was in 2013.  EM

Where do you see a Webinar? All I see is a 30 second promotional video on the Captains Club page.

In the email it’s the last word in the second paragraph before the video

That’s kind of spooky.  I think I prefer Spirit and Pride better.  

I suspect MSC weighs the flight access for Homeports when moving ships around.  With perhaps half of the guests flying from Europe, air is important.  And what local attractions might appeal to those guests.  They might like Charleston for the history, but not a large airport, and  Charleston isn’t interested in a budget cruise line.  I think local pressure, complaining that guests were not spending much locally led to them not renewing contract with Carnival.  They are happy for the luxury lines to make port calls there.

Jacksonville could handle Lirica class and maybe Musica class depending on air draft.  I’m good for Tampa and Mobile…. EM

Thanks, I’m sure I’ll be able to find plenty of opportunities for what I consider Original Sin.  (At least for those of us who are diabetic…).

Automatic out of the OBC.  EM

Vanilla is on,y good when paired wit some form of chocolate… brownies, syrup, chips, cookie  dough…. EM

Often my go to for breakfast is cottage cheese and fruit.  Sometimes eggs with bacon or sausage.  Usually a trial of eggs Benedict once a cruise, depending on how well they are done.  On a ‘bad’ day, is there any place with sticky buns?  EM

It is recommended that you have dinner reservations for the restaurants other than the Galley.  But is this also true of breakfast?  Which restaurants serve breakfast?  EM

Is this what you're looking for?

Another proof reading problem?  Cruise fairs or fares?  EM

Royal and Celebrity have been matching for years.  What’s new is they added Silversea.  EM

Guess we will have to wait for someone who has sailed her to give the answer.  EM

Did you book the cruise as two legs, or one long cruise?  If you booked as one and your cruise card is good for the whole cruise, you can just walk off with the first self debark group, and when you return just go through security and use your transit pass/continuing cruiser card to bypass checkin.  EM

Forward elevators…then midship and aft elevators 

I thought I saw a picture somewhere of eggs Benedict.  Where would I find that?  EM
