Just off the Regal, we were in a MS. I am going to the "dark side", on this issue. I liked having the light come on in the hall between closet and bathroom when going to the bathroom in the middle of the night. No other lights come on in the cabin.

Our cruise before the lockdowns was on the NCL Escape for a friends 70th b-day party. Was not impressed. I would rather cruise CCL (have done 4) than NCL again.

Yes, the porters if you are checking luggage. Is it required no, but not tipping is being cheap. Yes most of these workers are union longshoremen who make really good money. JMHO

We arrive in Galveston from our 10/24 Regal cruise on 11/5. DST happens at 2am. So we get an extra hour on the ship, although sleeping.

1) Actually we booked 3 excursions on 2 different charges. We are thorough on booking, we see what they offer, read reviews, look at other what websites offer. I should not have resign in every 10-15 minutes while actively using the website. 2) It was my general of frustrations with PCL. My 8 y/o cell is also not PCL app friendly.

When we booked our cruise we bought trip insurance from Allianz Global through her. Our policy covers $500,000 for medical emergency. Cost about $750.

Who ever is in charge of PCL's IT should be fired immediately. My wife and I spent several hours today trying to book excursions on the PCL website for our 10/24 cruise. We got timed out at least a dozens times while searching for excursions that met our expectations, causing us to have to resign in to the account numerous times. We got 2 booked before our patience waned. If this the future of cruising with the stupid app, count me out.

Not on cruise, but at home about 3 years ago. A helicopter ride of about 70 miles was $33,000. Insurance paid all but $1600. I retired 2 months later.

On our upcoming cruise next month (our 1st in 5 years) my wife the creative genius of family, has made a door sign based off the Eddie Money song "Two Tickets To Paradise."

I have gotten 2 bid to upgrade notice for our cruise in Oct. We are in a mini on aloha midship. I picked that cabin. Offers are for a full suite, uh no out of my price range. Or Reserve class, which is doable, but I am not giving up my cabin choice, for snob dining, therefore I ignore the upgrade emails.

And we do that too.

When booked our next cruise our T/A requested for extension cords.

Good thing living in small town is I walked into my local PO that handles passports renewal & without an appt. and was in & out in 45 mins. Got passports in 9 weeks. This was in Feb. Even domestically I travel with my passport. It trumps all forms ID, whether Real, Non Real or Fake. lol No reason to worry if I have the right ID or not.

Have not cruised in 5 years due to the stupid lockdowns, but the PCL website truly is badly maintained. IT couldn't poor piss out of a boot with directions on the heel. Things that should be saved on many of the portals have to be repeated and reentered on every part of the site. I hope life on board the ship is not as complicated and F'up as their website.

I logged into my act just now Maybe try again
