We loved taking the class but standing for 2 hours was a bit difficult. Could never do that now.

you will be just fine in your cocktail dresses and yes, I totally agree with purchasing the premium package. Go to reception as soon as you board and they will give you a new card, then go up to the Terrace to enjoy a lovely cocktail outside on the terrace with your lunch. ENJOY

And if you choose to do this have your room attendant remove the bulky wooden ones.

A 50 minute swedish massage is now $199 and with added 20% grat is $239. Even with my certificate It will still cost me $90. My rant is why if I pay double for my cabin as a solo can I not have 2 certificates. As ORV stated above, in years past when my DH was with me we were able to interchange our certs for treatment AND the grat was included AND we could buy spa products (very overpriced at that). Those days are long gone.

I took advantage of this on my last cruise. Tags were great. I had a problem with the ones I ordered from Amazon (the ones Joe suggested). They come with a very sturdy steel ring to attach to suitcase. However it is a screw on connection and my poor arthritic hands had trouble securing each end. Elastic bands worked though.

Good info. Just did all this as I just made final payment. Took me less than 1 minute to access my account to modify amount.

Be safe Jan & Stu

Train ride from Colon to Panama City was fun but the bus ride back was very long. If you go take O excursion because due to massive traffic you may be delayed and not make ship sail. No need for Dome lots of forest greenery. Did not get to see much of the canal itself very overgrown. No idea about boat in canal.

My visits to the medical center on my "free cruise" cost me $6900. This was in Oct 2019. I was admitted for 9 days in horrible hospital in Lisbon with Acute Bronchitis. Primary Care and Pulmonologist at home feel it was Covid at the very early days of it in Europe. Permanent lung damage. Medicare would not cover the bill but fortunately my travel insurance reimbursed me..

I always got my change at the cashier desk in the Casino when it was open. You wopuld think they would be able to do that at reception.

Stick with ILLY from Baristas

there was this line configuration in LA (Regatta May 2023) but they took a few from each line. There were at least a dozen check in folks. Moved quickly.

Yes, Macy's still there. Bought my new Travelpro luggage with great Sale Price.

Only when GDR open

I was on this itinerary pre-covid. We opted to stay in Santos and were glad we did. Marina did not sail on time due to 2 O excursion busses stuck for more than 4 hours due to traffic and fog. Many said they would not do it again as it was just a huge city. Marina sailed almost 5 hours late.

Not getting O but lots of Regent

OMG, can't control myself with the baguettes. I would eat them over dessert.

Yes they are and what stopped me from booking was the fact that the single bed was faced on the wall.

Good to know. This is one of those great tips you always give me. See you soon!

yep that would be her

I had to put my personal bag in my carry on to check it all. Didn't care at that point as I was so sick and just wanted to go home. Good to hear your personal bag is that size. I can make do on my next flight. But still uinlikely to book TAP again. Also on another unrelated note...they won"t give me my e-ticket in English. My name not as my passport. Been calling..and calling both Portugal and Brazil to no avail. Oh well, enough said I suppose

Very well aware of this but a one inch deviation is a bit over the top. More aware now for my upcoming flight that I had to purchase a new carry on over this inch. I am not the only one to experience this. Not only do the weigh and measure at checkin. They do this as you board the aircraft. How many of you have a personal bag that measures 16x12x5 weighing less than 4.4 pounds .My bag that was taken for check had a depth of 9 inches (standard anywhere else), they allow you 8". $110 payable right then and there.

Does it reheat it Lou?

OMG, the tape measure. Now that's a blast from the past.
