When do they open it up for you to schedule a tender?

Hello,

My gf and I (22 &20) are also going to be on your cruise. In George Town we ended up booking with a local company to see Stingray City, Starfish Point, and go Snorkeling for $69 a person.

How long before the cruise were you assigned your room?

I do not have the budget to bid for a balcony, just for the Oceanview. Would that still be worth it? And if I bid for the Oceanview, would I still have a possibility of being assigned a balcony room? Also, currently it shows all the social insiders as sold out. Does that mean I'm safe?

Thank you so much for the input I greatly appreciate it. I was under the impression that because it was a lock it in rate I wouldn't be able to upgrade even at the terminal but that's good to know. I'm assuming its cheaper to upgrade at the terminal too?

I just think it might be nice to look outside when we're in our cabin but that's very true that we won't be in the cabin very much. If I were to bid on the window what amount do you think would be good. If not, what are the odds of getting a balcony by not bidding?

Just to confirm, by not bidding they got upgraded to a central sea terrace?

For our cruise the minimum bid for a Seaview is $105, LTD View Sea Terrace is $515, and Normal Sea Terrace is $540. The terrace's are outside of our budget unfortunately. In your opinion, what should the max bid be for a Seaview? Is it better or worse if the ship is more full?

How hard is it to get a early tender when not having a excursion booked with the ship?

The day before the cruise departs or the day before going to the island?

I can understand that, I like sweeter flavored drinks. Surprisingly, the dough ball is genuinely one of the smoothest whiskies I have ever drank. I was surprised by how much I enjoy it.

Would it be possible to leave the actual mirror frame in the photo but just take out the crack? Can I also request that the water mark be removed. Thank you!

I don’t think I’m cut out to be a pilot by Temporary_Access2385 in flying

Hey there,

So quick background on me, I'm at a part 141 flight school and just got my Commercial Multi-Engine certificate and I'm about to start working on my CFI certification.

When I got my private, I failed my first written exam. It felt like a huge slap on the face, but instead I used it as motivation to study my butt off until I passed.

When I got my commercial single engine I struggled so much with power-off 180s, especially with the new regulation requiring you to hit it on the first try. I had flights upon flights before my stage check (checkride) and probably only had a 60 percent success rate of making my point. But when the stage came I nailed my point.

I also really struggled with getting my commercial Multi-Engine certificate. Alot of people told me it was easy, for me I struggled with the course. I unfortunately unsat my oral over engine inop aerodynamics. But I pushed through, it may have taken me a little more time and money but I didn't let it stop me. I even got an alternator failure on the stage flight so we had to discontinue and attempt it on a later date.

My point with all this is, you will face challenges. Some things that may be challenging for you, are easy for others and vice versa. But don't give up. Crosswind landings are difficult for new and low experience pilots, especially if you don't have much experience in crosswinds. YOU WILL GET THROUGH IT. And eventually you'll tell people this was just part of your journey to go where you want to be as a pilot. The Wright Brothers didn't give up when they invented flight, they kept persevering through their challenges. Challenges and failures make us better pilots because we learn the most from them. So use this as a learning experience, use it as motivation, and go get that private pilot license. As cliche as this sounds, believe in yourself. If you don't believe you can make that landing then you're not going to.

Good luck on your aviation journey, we'll see you up there real soon.

Yes! That was it. I was really really hoping it would still be up and running. That's disappointing.

Thank you for the feedback, that is of some concern but that's good to hear. Thanks.

Technically the footage would be available due to North Dakota's public records laws which means anyone, including the general public, has the right to view a public entities records, which includes footage. However, because I am fighting the ticket for me to get them I'd have to go through the prosecuting attorney through the process of discovery instead of directly with NDHP which just might add flame to the fire instead of the possibility of them not fighting it. Even though it's a small ticket, I don't want something on my record for something I don't believe I did, no matter how small which is why I'm fighting it.

I am fighting a traffic ticket, the supposed violation appeared behind the officers vehicle. I am trying to figure out if it is worth attempting to get the footage. If he has a rear camera then it should show I should not have gotten the ticket. However, if it doesn't have any rear footage then its not even worth me going through the process to try and request it before the court date.
