Oh, I like this much better than the long articles. My attention span isn't so hot lately, lol.

Email [email protected] directly if you aren't getting a response from the form.  Keep in mind that it is the weekend, but she's very responsive (many of them are, once you start working with them - it could be there's an issue with the form or some other thing).

We described our first carnival cruise as what would happen if Barney the Purple Dinosaur decide to open up a gentlemen’s club. 

I use travel agent to let them deal with the issues

Thought I'd share this ...

I canceled something on a still-scheduled sailing on May 9 and have not received a refund. They told me to expect it to take 45 days to get the refund (I assume 45 business days).

Did someone say cookies? (there are cookies?) 

It's because of issues like this that I believe my T.A. strongly suggested taking the refund rather than FCC on the canceled Brilliance group cruise.  ?

I'm about 30 miles south of Minneapolis.  I'm not a fan of that dept, but that's all I'll say here ?

I'm kicking myself for buying my plane tickets a few weeks ago. I knew better. I'm probably out $700.  

My backup plan will just be to go to work.  *sigh*

Ah yes, the Bag, Duffle, OD-Green. Got my first one 1980; wife got hers 1990. Amazing how much stuff you can put in it, especially when given a list and you're TOLD it will all fit. The free name stenciling on the side was a nice touch too. ?

Me. Every trip I have to take out of MSP.

Haha, no rest for the wicked.  We may be on the Coronas schedule until the end of the year!

I get that.  I can carry about 580 hours of PTO, so I'm not forced to take any or lose it at this point.

Not being able to book and plan any work travel, all I can do it plan vacations. Now I’ve gotta get working on getting my parent company to grant an exemption for this year, normally we can only roll over one week of vacation, but without being able to use it everyone will have too much. 

Yeah, I pretty much suck at vacation planning.

My backup plan will just be to go to work.  *sigh*

I just called American Airlines to move our Boston flights [cancelled GC] over to our Allure March 2021 cruise.  The rep told me that the "no cancellation fees" rule only covered itin changes up through Feb 6, 2021 but she went ahead and waived the fees for us anyway, so I was very grateful.  Not sure what other airlines are doing but I'm glad I was able to move this one without any extra charges.  Of course, the airfare itself was $600 more but at least we didn't have to pay the $400 change fees !!  If we have any  more cancellations I am going to have problems as all of my other cruises are well into 2021.  Not sure how long they will waive those fees...
