We also have been using the insure my trip site and both my wife and I have called their number and they were great answering our questions and explaining the differences between the policies to make sure we purchased the right one for our trip.

We use them to carry our KWC and drivers license especially when going off ship we may slip a small amount of money between the two cards for shopping or tips. I don’t see us without one. I agree about not caring about status,

I do remember a lot of people with them on DCL. Much less on RCCL and almost non existent on Celebrity. I wonder what the difference is, only thing might be with DCL handing them out got us into the habit of using them.

Normally I would say who cares about a lanyard. We are finally donating all our silver and gold lanyards because we have no use for them. The platinum lanyard was a different story, at least when we last sailed DCL in 2016. It was a lightweight very comfortable material that was gentle on your...

Yup, same area, but we are trying to avoid those areas and do Tampa and Port Canaveral. Unfortunatly our 2023 cruise we couldn't because of the itenerary. It's not a deal breaker per say, we just would rather spend on the ship than on land. Hopefully it won't be any worse than when we were down...

Just be prepared to pay very high hotel prices. We have found that area to be the most expensive to cruise out of. Other than that the weather is great and it is a nice area.

We got them in 2016 on our last DCL cruise for sure if not one before that. I was a darker blue however so at least they changed the color. The beach tote bags were more useful and we even saw multiple families using the DCL tote bags on our Celebrity cruise. We never got the beach towels, but...

No they changed the pricing structure for concierge for the 2015 cruises. One of the hosts was very vocal about the price increases and that they were losing families that they had been sailing concierge often. The biggest thing we miss is our daughter being younger and her enjoying all of the...

Since we are relatively new to the cruising game I am gonna say great deals! What we paid for a Cat V on the Fantasy in 2014 may get us into an ocean view now;) On the other lines we have sailed now as well, others say the same thing.

Reading through most of this and monitoring what other lines are doing I am very surprised that DCL is not requiring 95% plus vaccinated if not 100% vaccinated cruises. Over time when we sailed and my time on the board, DCL due to their image has been very conservative in there decisions to...

For the muster drills to change, I believe that would need to come from the coast guard. There is something to be said for at least having to go to the location so that you know where to go if there is an emergency. If they put a video in the stateroom there is no way to tell if the people...

It would be really tough to comply with US labor laws, especially the pay aspect. Our minimum pay would make many a lot more than they could make at home. That would be like me asking my WI employer to pay me the same as someone on west or east coast. Cost of living varies widely here as well...

So can they wave this for the cruise industry since there is almost no chance that a cruise ship will be built in the US in the near future? Who knows the flags of convenience may even end, not likely but never say never. What drives me nuts is seeing a certain cruise lawyer, that fully...

I have never tried that when running or walking, but I do know wearing a Buff while mowing definitely see me less stuffed up when I am done. I have exercised induces asthma during high allergy times, so i don't think a mask would allow me to run at those times, would just be too difficult to...

That statement right there is why the law needs to be adjusted. You could sail RCCL to Vancouver and get onboard DCL the same day. Common sense says you took the same trip and one is legal and the other isn't.

India is just scary. I think I read they are asking some to bury family at home following health protocols (BBC or Daily mail). It is the worst case scenario with this pandemic. Dense populations and not a quick vaccine rollout I think is part of the cause. When people have to buy oxygen and...

I am curious if others are seeing anything about the situation in India on their local news. I read about it daily on international news, BBC and DailyMail (fun read sometimes). I am just surprised our local news has nothing on it in the Covid section. I don't read US national news sites, so no...

I had lots of questions, and found some answers online. MIT had someone talk about the Moderna vaccine, I think the video is on youtube. I also did some research into the mRNA vaccines as well. I found enough information to satisfy myself it was safe to take. There are some answers out there...

Drug prices are a can of worms. R&D and trial for candidate drugs is very expensive. Also factoring in the small percentage of drugs that make it though trials drives the cost up even more. Sadly all this cost, including making up for the lost money on failures is why mostly medicines for more...

The difficult thing here, is the risk isn't just personal risk, it is population risk due to the need of getting to herd immunity worldwide to help stop this from spreading, big picture risk. I got it to both protect me and help the push to herd immunity to help slow the mutations. I know many...
