El Loco Fresh is one of my favorite free RC dining spots.

Is anyone getting the Yellow Fever vaccine? We are not and the consensus on another roll call site seems to be no, also.

I like to stay in Webster or Clear lake. My go to hotel is Hilton Houston Nasa Clear Lake. Take an Uber to Galveston.

They must like you more. I didn't get my docs

I'm checked in!!!

Colon, not so excited. All the YT videos indicate that it can be questionable for tourists. I booked an expensive RC tour, hopefully it will be safe.

Of course the Panama Canal. But I am nervous too. I am a big ship kinda guy. The smallest RC ship I have been on is Mariner OTS. The very smallest was the Celesyial Olympia (which is the old RC Song of America). There are going to be lots of sea days without an Oasis class set of entertainments. We'll see.

Is there going to be any kind of meet and greet on this cruise? We are going to be on a relatively small (compared to many of the RC ships) for quite a long time. It would be nice to get to know people.

I have been on cruises to the Caribbean and Mexico and just brought USD with me. We are going to lot of countries that I am not familiar with, Colombia, Panama, Guatemala. What do you do for spending money? Just use the credit card for everything?

It seems that some ships are having a difficult time getting slots to transit the canal. This is due to low water levels in Gatun Lake. I know that Rhapsody OTS, while it starts in Colon, no longer does even a partial transit. Does anyone out there have a crystal ball to forsee any issues with our cruise?

We are Steven and Moselle from Austin, TX. What hotel did you pick? We are staying at the The Westin Tampa Waterside. Does anyone have any comments about this hotel? My wife wants to know if anyone out there plays mah jongg. There are going to be be a lot of sea days and if I can't find anyone that plays I am going to have to learn. HELP!!! Steven

I would recommend getting a hotel in Webster or Clear Lake (I like the Hilton Houston NASA Clear Lake) and Uber to Galveston. Galveston hotels are very pricey and when I was looking they required a 2 night stay on nights before a cruise was to leave.

A few weeks ago we were on Allure OTS. The Schooner Bar had a young guy, Louis Couch, on the piano. He was a great entertainer and a really nice guy.

I have T-Mobile and like it. I agree and can verify everything that you said. But I didn't know about the free wifi on flights. How do I access this?

As a followup. My checked bag, with wine, arrived in my room and I did not need to go to the naughty room. It arrived an hour or so after my wife's, so I think it may have undergone extra scrutiny. Anyway, it got there.
