Really?...never affected our family....and we didn't smoke...and I had asthma.......we flew all over the place....travelled..ate at restaurants, coffee shops...visited malls...all while ppl smoked...
 
But then again..now peanuts can kill ppl and plastic straws are atrocious so I guess we really have progressed to snowflakes as a PC society........
 
 

just got back from the liberty of the seas.   apparently, indian food is such a popular thing now, it is always offered in the MDR (off menu, but always available).  my wife had some indian dish at least twice.  on the last day, they had a full compliment of indian on the buffet (chicken tikka, etc).

well, i was pleasantly surprised to find that royal caribbean has a partnership with a company called "chargerback.com".   i did self-assisted departure, but left my phone in the room (d'oh!).  i called my phone when i got home, and they told me to go to this website for lost and found.  all said and done, it will only cost me $9.36 to get my phone sent back to me.  awesome!

Congratulations!  I know I would have been freaking out! As active as I am, my life is on my phone and it has become an invaluable asset.  Glad you got it back! 

that's a pretty good deal!

Great info.  Glad you were able to get your phone back!!!

i asked for chicken tikka masala and sag paneer on a cruise a few years back, didn't give them a heads up, either.  but it came out quick and was delicious.   i might have had naan bread too, if i had told them this request a day ahead.  they seem to like cooking the food of their home for people.

Eternity?  Is that like the Hotel California?  "You can check in anytime you like, but you can never leave..."
For some reason I keep getting images of a funeral parlor, or line of caskets in mind.  "This is our Eternity series, because only the best for your loved ones".
Elegance works though.

And if they really mean that one, then they have to follow up with the Celebrity Bill!

 

Verizon's $5 Travel Pass does NOT include cruise ships.  Here is from Verizon's International Travel page.  The Travel Pass would cover many of the ports but not while on the ship nor does it cover data.  Now if you are only going to send and receive only a handful of texts, even using the pay as you go rate would be cheaper than VOOM.  The following is copied from Verizon's website.

The box cutter, leatherman and screwdriver are unnecessary in my humble opinion ?

Make  sure to leave extra time, as the feeder road will not  flow very smoothly .  This is a distance of about 5 miles. 
 

FIXED.  After calling back 3 more times, I finally got a nice representative named Carlo.  He put me on hold, worked some magic, and now i will have about 500 bucks coming back on my credit card.
Amazing how 3 different people can't do anything and just say "sorry".  apparently, they have the power to do anything...most of them just don't want to help.
whew.  now i really need a vacation trying to get my vacation sorted out.

the funny thing is, after talking to this guy...they had an INCORRECT email address when they sent me the payment reminder on the 11th. 
I pointed out to him, that it was odd they seemed to have the CORRECT email address to send the cancellation notice to me.   i think that inconsistency might have been enough to get him to fix this for me, or he was just the right guy to talk to.  i dunno.
crown and anchor login has the same email as the RCCL login, which is how i booked it.   so just weird all around.  but at least it is fixed now.

update.
apparently, we were supposed to pay off the balance by the 25th of June (last monday), but, i did not get any email, no phone call, nothing!!!!!   now the 1600 dollar balcony room is going to cost us 2100 dollars, and our on board credits are gone.
 
NOT COOL ROYAL CARIBBEAN!!!!!!!
