Pooch

Bunch of South American 15 year olds on our last cruise. That mask is WAAAY bigger than the bottoms they wore??.

Took our grandson on a 4 day in February. Spent the whole trip in pool hot tub, flow rider. No interest in Adventure Ocean although I think he might have met a buddy or two. On Coco Cay, never left the wave pool. It was very short, too short for us. It took a little time for him to be comfortable and then it was over.

Oh I have a concierge??!!! Didn’t have one on Majesty. I feel so special!

Hmm never thought about a rollaway. Would one fit/be available if I asked early and nicely for our OS on Rhapsody? Sleeping arrangements aren’t really an issue as we have always stayed in one hotel room with our kids. Son sleeps with the snore king he calls dad & daughter shares with me. But the extra cot would be a nice option. Guess I’m emailing my TA!!

First cruise in 2002 was us and the two kids in an oceanview cabin on Empress. Our reintroduction to cruising in 2018 was in a GS on Majesty. Earlier this year we did a quick 4 day with our grandson on Mariner & said yeah a balcony stateroom will be fine. Well NO! Both hubby & I said never again. We are already suite snobs. Happens fast ?

This is how I feel about hubby’s service. He tells me it was clear early on that he was not cut out for the military and, due no doubt to a little too much partying on his off days in Sicily, he received a General Discharge under Honorable Conditions. But he DID SERVE and I am proud of him for it.

Can’t imagine an easier airport than Bradley. I can go from drop off to gate in less than 15 minutes and that includes checking a bag. No way that can be done at Logan! Not to mention actually getting to Logan. TF Green might be as easy but LOGAN??

Thanks, that’s the first I’ve seen that lists the necessary documentation. We’ve ordered his DD214 AND his DD215 which corrected the original to add Honorable Conditions. I’ll just put them with our passports. Edited to add it says 2 years service OR six months in a war zone. Does not say combat service is a requirement correct?

Go to the State Department website. They address the issue as you are not the first to have it.

I would think the most used airport to fly into CT would be Bradley International. Not really sure why 50% of travelers would fly into Rhode Island when Bradley is much more centrally located and actually in CT?

Not HAD but HAS. This Executive Order has not been lifted as yet. Flights from the 3 afffected states are met by Gov personnel with forms to fill out stating where they will quarantine. I realize contact after that may be spotty (or non-existant) but it is still in place.

Since I booked our Feb 7n Rhapsody out of Tampa about 6 weeks ago, the UBP has gone on sail 3 times. $61 off sale, $46 on sale. I am disinclined to hand over more cash at this point given all the uncertainty surrounding cruising and the mess refunds are at present. I will wait and watch.

So I’ve heard here! And I bet if I made a stink, they’d take what I have. I’m just trying to not be THAT passenger.

But just to be save he’s made a written request for a copy of his DD214. I can’t find it anywhere

So I have a certified copy of his service record. Shows enlistment date, dates of all schools and posting in Sicily and his discharge. Certainly plenty of information to cover the 4 years of service in the US Navy. Don’t know why that wouldn’t be enough ?

And if I get quaratined on the ship, we're in an Owners Suite!!

I have an email in to RCCL to ask this very question. The information I have gotten so far shows the criteria that needs to be met but not what they accept as proof.

Doesn’t say what is needed for proof. I have Roger’s service record and Certificate of discharge.

Thank you Danette for stepping up for a new client. Would have been easy to brush me off during this unprecedented time especially with what’s going on in your personal life. My prayers for you, your father and your family. May you find peace. gail

That’s our first stop in Feb and a bucket list place for me. Looking forward to your thoughts.

Don’t know what I’d do without you guys!! Learned so much! Thank you to all and especially Matt for all your hard work??

We are going to try the helmet diving which is only available through RCCL excursions. This of course, is if the Feb cruise actually happens.

Saved $101 on it! The military discount is actually $510 but the price of the cruise is up since my last reprice. Hoping for more July 4th maybe?

On file is a DD257N certificate? Along with the DD215 showing a correction to honorable conditions? Think this will suffice? Also contains his service record showing date of enlistment, schools etc.

According to the VA Affairs site, he can do this through the mail. Here in Northern CT, there isn't a military base in the neighborhood, maybe down state in New London at the Sub Base. I have also called the Town Clerk. In CT we get a Veteran's exemption on municipal taxes and have to file the DD214 in the Clerk's office. I also work for the Town so I made a quick call & they are looking for me. your help is very much appreciated!
