Thanks! I actually ended up getting some crossbody pouches which will work better than fanny packs. Appreciate the links.

Make sure you where some jorts and a sleeveless t-shirt with that fanny pack too. 

Yeah - I know I won't be making a fashion statement - or at least a good fashion statement. LOL.

I've always hated having to carry around a purse while I'm traveling but I can't get by with just pockets (and sometimes there aren't any pockets anyway). I'm considering a fanny pack but haven't used one since I was a teenager. Opinions? Other suggestions for something small that I don't have to *carry*?

Just booked a mother/daughter getaway for myself and grown daughter. Leaving the husbands at home for this one.

First time cruising in Latin America! I know I'm setting this one up very early, but hoping to meet some others who will be sailing this itinerary.

First time sailing transatlantic and VERY excited!

who packs several weeks in advance? 

Me, too! Lol.

I'd like to add one more (optional) level between 3 and 4 - waiting to find out if your upgrade bid was accepted. We're in that right now. Lol.

It usually takes between a couple of days and a week.

Since you all seem to be seasoned cruisers, I'd like your opinion. My husband and I are considering an Arctic Circle cruise or a Panama Canal cruise for 2024. Have you been on either? Which would you recommend?

Just booked this holiday cruise at a remarkably low cost! TA says it's filling up very quickly already even though it's almost two years away. This will be our first time cruising during the holiday and we're really looking forward to it.

I've been on a number of cruises and have chosen various dining times (early, late, and my time) but have *always* been assigned tables on the lowest dining deck. I'd love to be able to sit on one of the upper sections for a change (decks 4 or 5). Can this be requested somehow?
