windjamming Posted October 9, 2017 #1051 Share Posted October 9, 2017 Thank you to the 4-headed monster for sharing your swollen ankles, Flowrider escapades, late night parties, mahhhhgaritas, photo shoots, and trivia blowouts with us -- it was all good. We had a blast shoreside. But how will Little Ricky feel when you and Lisa need a break from the "kids" and you leave them both at home for another cruise? ... I'd love to see a video montage of the adventures of Little Ricky and Owen left at home, though perhaps Andrew and Lisa may not! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dutchclogs Posted October 9, 2017 #1053 Share Posted October 9, 2017 I am so glad I'm not the only one who gets cankles on a cruise. I blame the heat and humidity. Sent from my SM-G920V using Forums mobile app My wife blames the ship's water. She does not get them anymore since she started drinking bottled water on the ship. Much enjoyed reading this multi faceted review and comments. Also educational -- are 'cankies' swollen ankles? I googled and got Canadian-Yankee Someone who is both Canadian and American??

catella02 Posted October 9, 2017 #1056 Share Posted October 9, 2017 Loved it all !! The pictures, videos, commentary was all great. Thanks to all of you for posting and taking us along. It helps to keep us entertained while we wait for our own cruise date to get here. Only 55 days now !! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare A&L_Ont Posted October 9, 2017 #1057 Share Posted October 9, 2017 How is everyone doing today? I’m not depressed at all. Busy planning my next cruise. Looks like both Owen and Rick like their models. Maybe they are brothers from a another mother. Look, the flow rider is right there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess it makes the customs form idiot proof and ensures all information is properly filled out prior to getting to the agent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know if it is coming to all ports but we didn't have custom forms to fill out in Galveston the September 3, 2017 cruise just show them your passport.

Sent from my iPad using Forums I believe this to be a Nationwide change. We haven’t filled out US Customs forms for a while. It took effect in Spring. Even coming back from Europe. Trusted Traveler (Global Passport) makes it nice coming back into the country (airports). JFK was a breeze.

Sent from my iPhone using Forums Well I was born in Fort Lauderdale and as much as one would think I’m an alien, I don’t think “nationwide” is accurate. Many ports continue to require the form in either electronic or paper form. In arriving at JFK from Amsterdam last week, I still had to respond to the usual CBP questionnaire, albeit it was electronic via the Global Entry kiosk. Mobile Passport is just one additional electronic form of responding to the CBP questionnaire. I do agree that this country is moving towards the European model of declaring or not declaring (subject to inspection) honor system as is the case in the Port of Miami, but we are from there yet as a “nation.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did answer the electronic questions at the kiosk (JFK). It scanned my passport and my fingerprints and then printed a receipt (my words) that I presented to the Customs Agent. I don’t remember the specific questions. We have been on 3 cruises since Spring out of Florida and we have not had to fill out anything.

CruiseLifeRick Posted October 12, 2017 #1074 Share Posted October 12, 2017 So upon arriving home, Little Ricky realized that the item identified in #884 actually belongs to him. So we are heading back on board to reclaim what is rightfully his. Harmony repeat in 51 days! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
