The wife and I have TSA Precheck. Having an Insulin Pump strapped to my side I am ALWAYS stopped and must take out my pump from its case and then my hands are swabbed. I have never made it through without being pulled out of line. I will not renew Precheck when it comes due.

I heard while in a Disneyland ride line... "Those of you that wish the line to go faster please raise your hand. Now, those that raised your hand please step to the left and let the others pass and you will see the line move much faster!"

I hope it isn't "Titanic"

Japan Coastguard helicopter passes right by our balcony and landed in 50 kn winds and successfully evacuated the person. This persons condition is still unknown at this moment. Our prayers are with them.

Today we are returning back to Tokyo for an emergency helicopter evacuation right now. No news on the condition of the individual but our prayers go out to them. We have stopped about 30 miles from Tokyo in the pacific and can hear the CoastGuard helicopter from our balcony but we will not rush to the helicopter pad like so many others have. If (most likely not) we hear any more we will update. update: helicopter was unable to land in high winds. We are uncertain what they will do next.

We set sail on Thursday the 15th

I just checked my upcoming cruise and noticed that all of my Royal-Up bids have disappeared. Is that a sign that they have given them all out? i guess it is better luck next time! oh well, I will look at this as a "Half Full" situation. I can take the $$ I would have spent on the upgrade and get more packages.

I did the same thing. only issue I ran into was a few (Not many) would look very strangely at me (a 60yo man) so I would approach the parent and ask if it was o.k. first . Funny that my wife received a much better reaction when she handed them to the children. While I hid all of my ducks spread out over the cruise ship I would also pick up those I find and restock those for my next cruise. I sign the tags (If they have one) and then reply where I find it Taking a Selfie. Then I take those Ducks and hide them on my next cruise. Imagine if you will a traveling gnome--- er I mean duck. I found some while in Mazatlan and Ensenada and they will end up on my Tokyo/Osaka Cruise Thursday.

My first RCI cruise was in 1986 on Song of Norway and one of the ports we visited was this brand new place called Labadee. There were a couple of hammocks and very few beach chairs. The one and only "Excursion" available was to snorkle (For Free) off the beach and dive for colored golf balls.

Just checked and no flowers for my wifes birthday cruising this Thursday. Maybe because of the port we are sailing from? Yokohama, Japan

Whoa! a time traveling Cruise Ship. Imagine all of the possibilities.

Hmmmm, I am sure it also must have a camera on it as well. I will know for sure if one is at my window and I hear the controller begin to scream!

Didn't he have a girlfriend with the last name Dumass

Mr. Salsedo states a very accurate Number as well. I gave the price quote for an inside/Promenade cabin. A Balcony cabin which he states in the article that he books is 100% to 150% more . Last year I spent 145 days cruising B2B2B... on Navigator of the seas mostly in a Promenade cabin and spent an average of $105 per night. I live on the West coast and can cruise out of Port of Los Angeles with no airfare costs.

$1M in a treasury account making 4.5% interest for 1 year = $45,000/yr in interest Average daily cruise cost including Gratuities = $100/day (Inside or Promenade cabin Easy to find) $36,500/yr (if D+ you receive 5 drink coupons/day) so: $45,000 - $36,500 = $8,500/yr for any other expenses (Flights/transfers between Itineraries) This is for a single Cruiser. You would need to double everything if you must take your spouse! No luck involved and no need to hope that RCL will send any offers at all.
