not-enough-cruising

i never mentioned fairness, I just said their right are different than those citizens of one of the 50 states.

No, there is no fine for weather related incidences of missed ports.

Citizens without all the rights of citizens born in the 50 states.

Hemp derived CBD is legal at the federal level.

With all due respect, there is a list as long as a cruise ship of medications you can’t buy in the US without a prescription. You can however buy them in foreign countries freely, and bring them back to the US, legally. I personally have never seen any opioids for sale in a Mexican port, so the Ultram is a moot point as far as I am concerned.

No opinion on the core topic; however, just to point out- on the ship in your cabin or off the ship on your person in port- there is no difference

It is not illegal to bring non controlled substances across the border back into the US ; even without a prescription.

Taking his buddy’s card, that’s has the DBP, to the bar.

It may go down a few dollars, however shorter cruises are generally higher per day than longer ones

Not a snowball's chance, Nassau is bread and butter for the cruises out of Florida

Thank you! A ridiculous fear that is propagated on these boards with some regularity.

I have disputed charges from Royal in amounts as low as a couple hundred up to over $10,000. If the dispute is valid; why would a corporation hold it against you?

Exactly, and isn’t that the primary focus of a business?

The ship will sail at 100%+ occupancy for years, it does not matter what you or any of us think about the pricing. I have a colleague that booked the Family Townhouse suite, he paid WELL into the 6 figure range. That cabin is fully booked for nearly 2 years

Have you traveled to any major US cities in the last decade?

I’ve never had a problem; I have disputed many charges with AMEX

Just contact your credit card company and file a fraud claim on the $50

Travel insurance comes into play

So take the refund

Perhaps the tone of some of the answers you received was due to the tone of the original post and question. The question certainly came across as snarky and belittling as it is worded.

In the absence of an accurate count of riders waiting to go to deck X, the system will prioritize fuller cars, and/or the car for X will arrive and all those waiting will not fit. The land based facilities where I regularly see these systems clearly ask that each individual make a request at the kiosk.

Hmmmm DW always takes it out of the drawer and stows it in the closet to clear up drawer space.

One of the hospitals where I work has these smart elevators. They are awesome; every elevator is point to point express.

I don’t think you can use a VISA gift card for online account. My TA had my AMEX on file and makes all payments to the cruise line; I have never been asked to check a box giving the cruise-line permission to access my card at that time. I agree, it’s not a huge problem; but I don’t feel I am jumping through hoops. With very little effort I avoid any errant charges, and the seemingly endless credit holds and hold cancellations. I just prefer it this way, clean, clear, concise charges; like all my other things expenses in my life.
