Yes. If you look at the (smallish) screenshot on post #14 they're listed under the miles requirement. They always have a free trial so I'd recommend just trying it

DOT requested a schedule of all KLM flights, that's it so far

I wouldn't call P-Cola to Tampa or to J-Ville remotely close. Where is your starting point, NOLA? If so, P-Cola would be your best option for the panhandle as they have many wrecks. On the other hand, if you plan on staying for a few nights, Tampa and J'Ville are much larger cities than P-Cola. P-Cola Viz is best in the summer but should still be good in Oct. If you're looking for unique experiences, about an hour north of Tampa is Crystal Lake which is one of the few places you can legally snorkel with the manatees. Venice FL, roughly an hour south of Tampa, they get to go hunting for fossilized shark teeth including the megalodon. Find a big one and you can sell them for hundreds and in some cases $1,000+

May 2024 is still showing Turkey

I've scuba dove with Stuart Cove, they offer snorkeling which I've never done. They're the ones that contract with the cruise ships. Once you get out of the secured port area there's the main road and a bus stop, the bus stop is where they pick you up

The DOT has already started: https://onemileatatime.com/news/united-states-retaliates-netherlands-flight-cap/

Why not post them? Also are the MDR menus updates?

Rule enforcement is the second most talked about cruising topic; tipping is #1

I'm hearing this more and more yet it's usually reported as the app menu not being updated

I totally understand some are too busy to bother with the points game or simply have no desire to learn it. The $5 24 hour pass on points.me does exactly the same thing as a consultant. In general, wouldn't convert MR/Amex or UR/Chase points to say United and then book a United ticket. You would transfer your MR/UR points to a partner like Air Canada miles and then book the United flight on Air Canada. The other part is knowing when airlines release their business/1st "saver" award space. As I'm sure everyone knows, and dreads, flexibility is the key. If you need a pre-cruise flight, you're probably not going to find a favorable reception. Therefore in many cases with a cruise that has fixed dates, the best use of UR/Chase points would be to covert them to Hyatt points I already feel like this is going to be information overload for most reading this, perhaps this simplifies it: 1) Check weekly for credit card points transferring to an airline with a bonus; totally fine if there aren't 2) If you need a hotel, check out Hyatt to have a baseline redemption 3) Go to points.me, pay the $5 24 pass and start hunting; the tool is very useful with calendars 4) If you find a flight with a favorable redemption, call the airline and request they put it on a courtesy hold. This is because your award space could be grabbed by another before your points transfer 5) Transfer your credit card points to airline points/miles 6) Once the points appear in your account, call the airline again to apply the points to the flight that's on hold

Completely understand yet just pointing if one is attracted to an OBC to use the shareholder route

Standard practice is to keep selling tickets until some Gov't tells you to stop...lol

If I'm understanding correctly, you're on a cruise that stops in both ports? As I'm sure you already know, nothing is guaranteed with visibility and strong currents Curacao has better diving, you're nearly guaranteed to see sea turtles and possibly a sea horse. A kind of cool thing to do is the lionfish hunt, you pay a little extra, and they'll you a spear and training. If you're able to spear one you give the whole spear to the guide who will put the fish in their zookeeper and give you back the spear. As @ROUS points out, the dive bus would be a great option if you're there for a land stay but they have strict deadlines and you need to take a 15-minute taxi ride each way at tourist pricing. I recommend Scubaçao Diving Adventures which offers free pick and drop off and you also don't pay until the pick you up so if the ship can't make it or is super late, you won't even be charged in the first place Aruba, the Mermaid II dive boat mooring is about a 10-minute walk from the ship gangway. Aruba has two relativity intact jumbo jets you can swim in. It's been a year but they only charged $75 for a two-tank boat dive if you had your own gear. The plane wrecks aren't too deep and not too far from shore so it's possible to snorkel yet I'd research that more as your party's fitness level may be a factor. It should be noted visibility will most likely be worse in Aruba and there isn't a ton to see marine life other than small reef fish If it were me, I would dive both (lol) in the morning and join the rest of the party to snorkel in the afternoon

Most of us passport point brah's use www.points.me which usually has a free trial. Once the trial is up we pay $5 for the 24-hour pass and just park ourselves by the computer all day and research. Pretty good article explaining things: https://milestomemories.com/point-me-review-flight-award/

The spend required to get the OBC is ridiculous. All are without annual fees Chase Freedom Unlimited, Citi's double cash, and Citi's Costco card (if you have and plan to maintain a membership) give much better rewards with far fewer spending requirements. Also, why not invest in RCG to get the OBC?

It's a very conversational policy by the Dutch Government. All the buzz right now is will the US Govt take any retaliatory action and would that action be enough to make the Dutch change their mind

Technically using a VPN to change your location on a streaming service is a direct violation of their terms in conditions and some claim you can forever be blocked. They're even illegal with fines in some stricter countries For today's lesson, I almost typed Bl--kListed yet someone recently brought to my attention that the terms "Bl--kListed" and "CakeW--k" are offensive terms which I verified by googling

Once on board, you'll see a Continental Breakfast menu doorknob hanger. You don't need to use it, you can call room service during breakfast hours and order from the Continental Breakfast menu without a charge

You nailed it with short cruises. During the Q2 earnings call: -"putting really outstanding hardware combined with excellent destination into the short product market because it truly is the on-ramp for new to cruise and also first to brand"

I 100% agree. As you state they block "some" of them but not all of them. I haven't had a reason to use a VPN to change my streaming apps location as regular YouTube works fine. I have been considering YouTube TV yet it's not a huge deal to me if I can't watch it on a cruise

Maybe it's ship specific or maybe it's a certain timeframe such as all sailings past April 2024 The VIP pass doesn't appear at all for me for the Eclipse, Summit, or Reflection The VIP Passes tab DOES appear for the Infinity in the spring but only extend your stay:

Some apps like the big streaming ones recognize the free VPN's popular server and blacklist them. You can get around them if you use a VPN that uses Obfuscated servers

Zenith for 12 months for the low low price of only $2,999 + 20% gratuity A lot of airlines do this, one example:

The menus may have a new dish or two before then

I wouldn't be surprised if a new dish or two appears sooner than the end of the month; as stated I thought that was what was going on here when I posted these and attempted to validate they were new items by googling them but they were new names, not new items
