This will make for a sober cruise. $1 beer at HH in my home town is fantastic.

Thank you for the information. I have traveled on the Glory many times out of New Orleans. I may not go on it again since it is being replaced in N.O.

I have been there also. Bypass and heart valve replacement will change your perspective.

After refurbishing the Glory, what are the noticeable improvements. The Sports Bar was renamed Heroes Bar with new pictures on the wall but essentially looks the same. Can you tell us the significant improvements.

My last trip on the Glory in January from New Orleans was probably my least enjoyable cruise. Watching people at the buffet and Guy burgers gorge themselves with food is not a pretty site.

You forgot the limp, grease dripping bacon that so many love (not me).

Happy hour in Gulf Shores M-F at a Wing style restaurant, smash burger $6, beer $1.

My neighborhood golf club plays LRC,Bunco and Bingo. I am not paying thousands of $s to go on a cruise to play neighborhood games. Maybe the casino should organize LCR and Bunco games and take a cut.

I just bought an 18 pack for 16.99 before tax at the grocery store. The cost was $.94 per can. At $7 on the ship, that is a 700% markup. That is probably higher than the markup in the Fun Shops.

My wife bought a Thomas Kincaid print from a local discount store framed for pennies on the dollar vs Park West. Even their champagne is cheap.

If you take numerous cruises a year, then the purchase price of 100 shares of stock is immaterial to your financial situation. Purchase the shares. If you take 1 or 2 cruise every few years, the price fluctuation can wipe out any benefits. Again, if the purchase price is immaterial to your situation, purchase the shares. Only you can make that decision. If the decision requires a lot of research, pass on the purchase of the stock. I own 100 shares and have received the credit on probably 20 cruises. I bought the shares 12 years ago. This decision can only be made by you, your financial situation and how many times you plan to cruise in the future. As a pure investment, their are better alternatives.

CCL is $15.50 per share and does not pay dividends. As an investment, it is not good. If the $1550 to purchase 100 shares is immaterial to your financial situation, go for it. I am sure your advisor can offer better long term investment advice.

I have driven over 6 hours with a time zone change in the car the same day to go on a cruise. I do not think what you are doing is that unusual. As long as you do not over sleep and miss the plane. You probably will not sleep well the night before the flight. Since people are mentioning song, Jimmy Buffett said “She came from Cincinnati and it took her three days on a train. It could be worse.

Unless I missed it, about what time does your flight land vs embarkation cutoff. My daughter did this once on a direct flight to Miami and was fine. Flight left at 5:30 AM landed in Miami at 9:00. She got an Uber, picked me and my wife up at the hotel before 10:00 AM and we were on the ship by 11:30. Of course, she went to bed that night about 7:30.
