Ok you can’t leave me hanging. Where do I find insanely good crab cakes???

Thank you but we are not cruising. Flying in for a few days for some baseball & sightseeing. I believe the light rail suggestion with suit us nicely.

Last time we went (long time ago) the stands were pretty empty. Bought mid priced tickets & by the third inning, moved down to field level. Planning on buying the cheap seats this time & again moving around as we are able. this is a midweek series so maybe a better chance

?? Also want to see Poe’s grave!

Nice!! I expect we’ll find plenty to do. Love the aquarium. Never been to the fort so that’s high on my list!

Thank you both so much. Information is just what I was looking for. I think the light rail looks perfect. Appreciate your help. Best suggestions for activities?

Sounds like a good option. Appreciate your help! I will be bugging you for suggestions! We’ll be there for 3 1/2 days & looking at 2-3 games!

Can you give me a little point of reference for the light rail? I assume finding it at the airport will be relatively easy but where would it drop us off? Would it be walkable to the hotel?

Totally not a cruise question but - Just booked a quick trip to Baltimore end of September for my birthday to watch the Red Sox in my favorite park, Camden Yards. We are flying in and staying at the Sheraton on S. Charles. It looks pretty close to both the harbor and the ballpark, is it? Is the area walkable? Don’t want to deal with a car so ability to walk everywhere is important and we love to walk. Also looking at suggestions to get from & to the airport. Is there a shuttle of some kind? Short trip so only a couple of carry ons to schlep. I know this is OT but I’d appreciate any insight or advice. Thanks!!

Don’t think anyone is saying he is WRONG to be upset, I think we’d all be upset. But in the grand scheme of the last 15 months, a cruise is a cruise is a cruise is a cruise. No doubt in the “normal” world this would be an outrageous itinerary change but we still aren’t back to whatever normal is. Perspective is everything.

Not sure buying points is the best use of funds. You spent $105 to get about $60 worth of flight fare. A gift card would have cost the same but given you the full amount toward a flight. For example, a $79 flight equals 4986 points. You paid $105 for 3500. Yes you got 5000 bonus points but so did I and I could have bought that $79 flight with money left over and I can use mine to pay for the taxes that points don’t cover on flights for which I DO use points.

I converted all my outstanding travel funds to reward points when they made that offer last year. It was a very generous amount of points.

SWA is offering 50 points per dollar on SWA purchases up to $100. If you know you are gonna book a flight, TODAY is the day to do it. One day only offer. I don’t have any flights to book currently but gift cards are included so I bought a $100 GC on both mine and my husband’s card. Gives us $200 in available travel funds PLUS 10,000 reward points.

I believe MSC is providing transportation home and Royal will too.

Just remember with regard to dining purchases, the old format included gratuities right from the start, the new format doesn’t add it til it’s in your cart. At first glance dining prices look better but. As with all RCCL prices, it’s just an illusion!!

I have truly missed your posts! I am still a relative newbie here but always enjoy reading your opinions. Hope the move went well and you are settled in. Regards Pooch (Gail)

WAAAYTOOO are you back?!?!?!

Nope, island is owned by RCCL. Only their protocols count.

Can I sub my second born, he’s more trouble ??

Overnight for my March 2022 sailing on Harmony. I check it everyday and this morning it changed to the new style format. I hate change?.

Dining section probably not the right forum for this question. Perhaps moderators can move it for you.

My brother and nephew are staying in a junior suite (mentioned that several times) so they ARE eligible to eat dinner at CK. I am just trying to work out reservation logistics. Not trying to sneak in any of the unwashed masses. Sorry but felt your post was rather snarky.

Not sure why it’s a problem if you pay in full each month and the credits apply to corresponding charges in the same billing cycle. Those charges have nothing to do with your previous statement balance which you expected to pay in full prior to these charges and credits. Applying the credits to a previous balance kinda gives YOU an interest free loan. I understand that most CC’s do work that way but B of A doesn’t, their card their rules.

Took our grandson last Feb and the water park was $24.99! No wonder everyone was laughing at me when I asked if that was a good price!!

Ignore the banners!!! Sometimes they are meaningful, mostly not. Price is the only thing the really counts. I’m only watching 2 items on 1 cruise so I don’t need a spreadsheet. I look every day. I have a target price in mind. I have a “if I have to pay...” price. If I see my target, I will book. If we get to Black Friday and the best price is my “if I have to”, I’ll book that. My cruise isn’t til March. I have time to be patient.
