  1. To be fair, in one sense EVERY ship in the fleet is a "sister ship" to every other ship in the fleet. The different classes might be considered "step-siblings" to us but...
  2. For me, CocoCay or a day in a real port will ALWAYS go the direction of selecting an itinerary that has the port (even if it is a multi-time repeat location).
  3. Another option that doesn't rely on any airlines - drive it. Austin to New Orleans is only about 8 driving hours each way. By the time you drive to the airport, go through security, wait for your flight, sit in those tiny seats for a while, wait at baggage claim, and travel to your hotel the time saving is probably only an hour or two.
  4. Whether you're boarding at 11:00 a.m. or 2:00 p.m., a relaxed morning in the departure city is ALWAYS better than rushing around an airport or three. Airline delays happen all the time for many reasons - I once had a flight from Memphis to Cincinnati delayed by three hours because the first flight of the day on that plane was impacted by fog in Portland, Maine and each subsequent flight was pushed a little bit later because of gate availability, etc.
  5. Different points don't matter - my wife takes trips with a couple friends and I get to take advantage of her status. The key would be to take all the extra point earning opportunities on the account that already has more self-earned points.
  6. I would use it now before it disappears. You can always cancel and rebook whatever you spend it on when the sales occur.
  7. It seems fishy that the double points won't accrue if you received a C&A discount. They automatically apply the discount (no matter how large or small) when you book if you provide a C&A number for one or more passengers. The only way to avoid a discount would be to book without the number attached and then add it later - extra work.
  8. This is the issue we encountered. No checkbox. Finally got it straight by calling to have the cruise planner credit associated with the booking and then it was just like using any other OBC as noted by @Hoski
  9. That wasn't on the site a week ago when my wife and her friends booked a 12 night repositioning cruise. Hopefully it applies to ALL bookings and not just new ones made since it was posted.
  10. Getting ready to apply a credit from previous cancelled cruise. Anyone with experience doing this yet? Is it simple to attach the info while in Cruise Planner, or are there hoops to jump through?
  11. Our granddaughter got her first C&A points (14 for 7 nights in a suite) at 11 months of age. Never too early to start accumulating those points.
  12. I have to believe the guilty plea to negligent homicide came about as a result of being advised by attorneys that the prosecution had a solid case for at least murder in the 2nd degree, if not murder in the 1st. Putting the case to rest in this way was how the "grandfather" minimized his prison time.
  13. The most interesting information in the initial chart is that Sweden, which implemented the least official restrictions, had the lowest peak rate and an almost identical area under the curve. Statistically, the level of restrictions implemented had no measurable impact on the total number of deaths per capita.
  14. I'm delighted to see the term "physical distancing measures." There is nothing social about physically distancing oneself from others as implied by the misnomer "social distancing."
  15. I have never used an MEI TA, but based on what I've seen posted on this site the answer to your question about an MEI TA to recommend is: YES! They're all that good.
  16. Adding provel to pizza would be akin to dropping on some Velveeta. At least provel has some positives in other applications, unlike the processed-cheese-like-food-resembling-product sold nationwide.
  17. Knock. Knock. Who's there? Yoda Lady! Yoda Lady Who? Nice yodeling!
  18. Not being able to "do my own thing" would be a hard NO to cruising. I enjoy visiting the ports but take an excursion (RC or private) at only half the ports on any given itinerary.
  19. Q: What time do the cows go to bed? A: When it's pasture bed time!
  20. An Englishman, a Scotsman, an Irishman, a Welshman, a Ghurkha, a Latvian, a Turk, an Aussie, two Kiwis, a German, an American, a South African, a Cypriot, an Egyptian, a Japanese, a Mexican, a Spaniard, a Russian, a Pole, a Lithuanian, a Swede, a Finn, an Israeli, a Dane, a Romanian, a Bulgarian, a Serb, a Swiss, a Greek, a Singaporean, an Italian, a Norwegian, a Libyan, a Muslim, a Hindu, a Buddhist and an Ethiopian went to a night club. The bouncer said, "Sorry, I can't let you in without a Thai.
  21. Two Mexican detectives were investigating the murder of Juan Gonzalez. "How was he killed?" asked one detective. "With a golf gun," the other detective replied. "A golf gun! What is a golf gun?" "I don't know. But it sure made a hole in Juan."
  22. Two pretzels were walking down the street. One was assaulted.
  23. How do you find Will Smith in a snowstorm? Just look for fresh prints.
