  1. we never felt like Guests in QM2 were stuffy..ours was a short cruise not a TA. At our assigned dinner table ( not in the grills) we sat with others who were well travelled, smartly dressed and very interesting. We enjoyed the shows and classical music on board...and there was a very lively late night club. You will have a great time! Will you post a bit here,?
  2. gov pensions and Soc Sec for 2025 will have very low COLAS.. Just hope cruises are not affected as to service or rising supply costs!
  3. Just announced that the strike is put on hold..for a few months Did not catch details! Hope ships stock up! (We cruise in Dec and Jan from Port Ev)
  4. That mural is cool.. glad Grampas worked out! Obviously, not as run down as where we were. We will have challah French toast this week..! Yum!
  5. good choice.. similar to our Wyndham hotel, but a bit nicer. . We did not have any strip malls just aging motels.. sounds like you did well for your needs BON VOYAGE!
  6. will follow but a Cunard sailing will be a diff experience.. not easy to compare!
  7. as per news reports the people there are victims of the thugs and very afraid
  8. on line input says tp comes from Canada or Mex by truck or train.. we worry more abt medicine
  9. Our short cruise in Dec to the Carib is on Siho.. How did you enjoy the ship..? Has been many yrs since we were on her a few times! Hope still lovely!
  10. wow.. it used to be more like Alice in Wonderland./ Mad Hatter decor. bright colors ecclectic chairs.. not like this.. What is up with that painting?
  11. sad photo for us..Remnants of our once favorite Specialty Rest. It us no longer but seems they are using the space for Elite breakfast..jow was that? plated or buffet style?
  12. THE FISH GRILL... Maybe your hotel is in a better spot near the beach.. or has a nice restaurant...but as my husb said..we were in a food desert!
  13. We stayed Wyndam Garden..Dania Beach..very pricey..It was right on the main highway..N. Federal Hwy. There were sidewalks, but lots of traffic. Walkable to a nice local restaurant/ bar go there! ( I willook it up). but not much else nearby. Dinner at the hotel not appealing at all and the breakfast buffet was quite expensive..ugh! We had just bagels and coffee for breakfast at the hotel & checked out soon as we could . It was convenient to drive to the port but nothing like the 27th St hotel area where there are stores and many placrs to eat. Dania has not aged well!
  14. A recent post..maybe by Cruisestich said the waiting area in Boston was very spartan. If I recall correctly . photo showed Bridge chairs in an ugly room..
  15. Enjoyed your review. Nice writing style..holds our interest. The photos and text about the " Jewish" tour were very meaningful and moving!
  16. As I suggested on another thread . contact Special Needs..that Dept will assist and accomdate.. and then u can follow up with the maitre d once as soon as you board.
  17. e mail Special Needs ahead.. for assistance and accomodation..No worries!
  18. Last time there, a theft occurred early in the day..a phone. They closed access.. turns out it was someone associated with a band! Used to travel to Haiti..patents dud charity work. The Haitian people are beautiful..but gangs that loot & kill are not! We won't go there anytime soon.
