I have! I actually did all 4 ships in the same year. 2014 was very good to me.

I actually read a statement about this today on another cruise board. This is a statement from a gentleman who is a retired cruise ship engineer about that matter. To be factually correct, the original violation that led to their probation cannot be proved that they actually made any pollution...

Your post made me remember we use to note where we stopped for gas and if that was the best price or not.

We did it to use for estimating our budget for future trips.

@Skywalker I also loved those descriptions on the back of the map strips. We didn't travel much when I was a child, but when I had my own family, I used them as we drove around the country. As soon as we turned to a new strip, I would read aloud the information to the family as we drove. I do...

I do think your solution might improve on @mevelandry proposal, but I'd still vote as Not A Fan. I don't go on cruises for the activities the ships provide. I use the ship as transportation to sun and fun in the Caribbean and as a means to get a taste of international cities around the world...

I can teach you. I do it all the time and have been doing it for years. It usually works very well on cruise ships because they have a continuous handrail. You put your arm over the railing and hold on with your forearm. I haven't ever fallen and I'll gladly take a broken arm, rather than a...

Some of the new ships are being built now that will use LNG. I've read it is the cleanest burning fossil fuel, so some of the environmental complaints will hopefully abate. I would love it if the cruise lines would quite building behemoths. They are not nice for the ports they arrive in and I...

I told you I was old but I was referring to comments made in the posts between us, not with someone else. But I appreciate you pointing out my error. Have a good night.

You may have gotten me confused with someone else, because I have never advocated for lockdown. I have advocated for measures that protect our most vulnerable at-risk population and the untimely death of those who didn't realize they were in the risk category and those that are going to be...

They could be exposed before they know Bella is sick.

The note the family got said the school was making the decision that the mother and brother should continue working/attending the school. I feel so bad for all families being put into these positions, especially when they are potentially being forced, in one manner or another, to take these risks.

I'm not sidestepping anything. Sure there is more we can do, but we can't get people to comply with what we are doing. You think we can eliminate non-essential travel? We tried that at the beginning of this debacle. It's why we are where we are today. We have lowered the speed limit. Doesn't...

Here's Dr. Fauci speaking 5 days ago. If you don't want to watch it, he said, he thinks the answer as to whether we will have an effective vaccine will most likely be by the end of the year. He said if that happens, we would start vaccinating people in 2021...

Both of your examples have things that mitigate their occurrence. No one can prevent them because, despite the myriad of protections that are available to people, they are just not going to avail themselves of them. They have a become a consequence of the society we live in, because there is...

You are very fortunate. Unfortunately, my area can't say the same.

I can understand why the school doesn't think it's necessary. I also can understand why the school isn't thinking about the safety of Bella's mom and brother and further, the ones they come in contact with. Because Bella has been exposed, she must maintain a 6 ft. distance from her mother and...

But, if Bella's school is assuming she spent more than 15 minutes in close contact with the positive student (were they masked? OP doesn't say.), then Bella's mother and brother are just as likely to have more than 15 minutes in close contact with Bella. So, until it is definitively determined...

I don't think it will last forever, just until we can, hopefully, get the virus to behave in the population like the others we have encountered in the past.
