There is no need for tipping here in Europe. At least not like in the US. 
Also there are ATM's everywhere so you can get easily once off the ship. 
Mastercard and Visa are accepted almost everywhere. American Express not so much. 

When I google Barcelona taxis taking CC, I found out that they do take CC.  I would recommend that whenever possible, to use your CCs.  I believe the only time you would need Euros is when you are buying something from a street stand.  Almost all shops and restaurants will take CC.  Just call your CC company to let them know when you will be in Barcelona. 

Sounds like a good night to try the Buffet or to go check out one of the other restaurants! 

Yes we got one of our fares refunded so basically half back, still was able to board/depart with the other suite guests, put to the front of the waitlist in case of any last second suite cancelations(which did not happen) and am supposed to get the suite C&A points but that hasn't been posted yet to verify.

While I will say now is too early to get concerned, from my recent experience of being downgraded from a suite gty to a balcony aboard the Vision of the Seas New Years cruise you should be prepared for the possibility. If you aren't assigned by check in day I would have a list of concessions ready just in case of a possible downgrade. 
 

Just returning home today from our first cruise on the Wonder. They had wow bands available but they were not really advertising it well. We happen to be walking on deck 5 in the promenade near Boleros on embarkation day and saw a tiny little table tucked away in a corner with some crew employees selling them. I did see some people later on during the cruise going to guest services and purchasing them there also. 

Just out of blatant curiosity I looked it up, a single DUI presents no difficulty in entering the US.  Multiple DUI's or a DUI accompanied by other issues on a persons record could possibly cause denial of entry. 
I expect the surprise on the part of most US citizens is that, overall, we engage in international travel far less than citizens of many other countries. We simply don't realize we ought to check entry requirements! 

He should contact the Canadian Embassy and ask about this and if he may qualify for an exemption.  George Bush had to get a special waiver for permission to enter Canada and he was President of the United States. 

Yes.  I just saw a young lady use one in the casino maybe 30 minutes ago.  She was not Star Class.

It's 100% obstructed, by a wall. 🙂 

I did this in January, flight at 11:30 am, tons of time, ordered an Uber and he showed up within 5 minutes, the taxi line was insane

I was surprised how good the burgers were in the WJ, ended up having one every day!

Keep an eye on any local events happening that may increase travel time.  

I know that this may be an unpopular suggestion regarding car seats, but....
When we used to travel with our children, when they still needed car seats and strollers, we would fly into the destination, take public transportation to the nearest Walmart, buy the cheapest $20 stroller and $20 car seat, and use it during the vacation.  
Prior to flying back home, we would try to give away the car seat and stroller to anyone at the airport who had kids.  If no takers, we would leave them behind at lost and found.
We just found that the convenience in traveling light outweighed $40 to $60 dollars in buying a limited use car seat and stroller.

My initial thought is we're going from something that was classy to something that looks like a cheap souvenir. 
I'll withhold final judgment until I actually see it, but that's my first impression 

Sleep on the beach.  Hunt some seagulls for breakfast.

Without reading others feedback, I’ll share that we loved having a balcony on a Norway, Iceland, Scotland cruise.  We prefer balconies anyway but as you sail into or out of many ports you may be traveling in fjords.  Always some interesting sites and easy to jump out to the balcony for a quick peek.  The weather can be good or bad and I would actually say the balcony is a plus in bad weather.  Very easy to stay in and comfortable with the ability to pop out quickly to see a site.  Might even see a tiny island church.

or just watch the clouds hanging on mountains like these headed into Akureyri.

And easier to save a copy to send to me after the cruise is over!

Keeping video off is always an option: this is how I eat, drink, roll my eyes, and make choking motions at others without getting in trouble. 🤣

Also they don't need to be printed in color B&W is fine

If you have the tag holders, you don't even need to do that much. Just print on regular paper and cut out the tag itself without the folds.
 
And you only get 1 luggage tag because you're printing them. You just print as many as you need. There's no bar code of uniqueness on them.

The first part is still very much the case. I've found more than half the times, it's cheaper to book a cruise with a fake second person.
However, whether or not you get the double C&S points is very hit or miss.

I cruise solo often and love it. Lots of us here have blogged about our solo adventures over in the blog section. It's a wonderful way to travel. You are on your own schedule and base your day around your energy level, your preferences. It's awesome!

@Matt, does this still apply in 2023?
