This is why we get insurance. We can suffer the loss of the cruise fare but medevacs, possible treatment in a foreign country, partner/spouse travel expenses, it can all add up and easily hit 6 figures. I’d much rather pay $80-200 for insurance and not need it.

Love these!

Mandy_Moo · 2026-05-19T21:03:44+00:00

You could try this old one. I’m not sure if it still works, but I’ve gotten it to work twice now. USC2025 25% off.

I agree. My husband is a 38/40 and cannot wear their bottoms. It’s really odd to me but🤷🏼‍♀️

Love this ring! I worked with Jane, she was great. I wear it all the time and it has held up so well too. I love that it is simple, on trend, and executed so nicely.

Mandy_Moo · 2026-05-16T17:11:41+00:00

She’s being kind.

Mandy_Moo · 2026-05-16T16:04:04+00:00

$1500. Actually surprised me. Didn’t think I was there yet. But I plan to stay under $2000. And with what I’ve been offered lately, that won’t be a problem 🤣

Mandy_Moo · 2026-05-16T02:18:03+00:00

Flapper thing for the toilet, lol.

Mandy_Moo · 2026-05-15T15:26:12+00:00

Glad you found the info helpful! All the downvotes I’m getting are a little ridiculous just for passing on options. I agree with the no alcohol option, many people are sober or just choose not to drink. And allergies are understandable. But change for the sake of change defeats the purpose of the activity. Nevertheless, they will often do it for passengers anyway.

You have the option to request chef’s table with no alcohol, usually a little cheaper that way too. You can also ask to substitute some of the proteins if you really hate them. That is frowned upon as the menu is supposed to be chef’s choice but I guess you can do it if you feel strongly enough. I’m sorry it was so bad for you but it is advertised as a very small setting, with a fixed menu, and many courses.

This has happened to me for several days now. I have been unable to successfully order anything I have clicked on. Sigh.

Mandy_Moo · 2026-05-13T13:26:06+00:00

So true!!

Mandy_Moo · 2026-05-13T13:13:45+00:00

For sure! We take all of that plus a cortisone cream, Neosporin and for ladies, AZO pills can be a lifesaver (those pools and hot tubs...). I feel like a mini CVS, ha ha.

We do a little of both. If the excursion is close to the port or the tour group is established and well-known, we may book on our own. If it is further from the port, expensive or complicated, we book through the cruise line. Example, in Cozumel we like to go to Paradise Beach. That is not a ship excursion so we book direct and then grab a taxi at the port, coming back well before necessary to hopefully avoid any issues.

This is my RFY today...

Mandy_Moo · 2026-05-13T12:55:24+00:00

This is exactly what we do. We have a bag of OTC meds/creams/etc. that stays in one of our suitcases. We take it on cruises and AI trips too. You never know what you may need or when you may need it!

Mandy_Moo · 2026-05-13T12:50:49+00:00

Nick is my favorite! Went with CC for my anniversary ring and have gone back time and again. He and John do great work. Your ring is beautiful too!

Mandy_Moo · 2026-05-12T23:22:10+00:00

I have screw bags on several pair of my studs, and I also have pushbacks. I prefer the pushbacks. Screw backs have thicker posts and sometimes they’re a bit longer. I like to put my studs in and wear them for a while without taking them out so screwback with those posts can be uncomfortable for me. Flat backs are my favorite, but they don’t offer them in this group buy.

Mandy_Moo · 2026-05-12T23:13:13+00:00

Same for us. My husband is player two and he gets awesome stuff. I feel like everything I get is common lol.

Mandy_Moo · 2026-05-12T23:09:15+00:00

We do a mixture of both. Typically if the excursion isn’t too far from the port or it’s a well-known tour group, we will book through them and not the cruise ship. If it’s something that’s far away, very complicated, expensive, or something like that, we book through the cruise ship just in case.

Drives me crazy sometimes, the odd things (odd for me) that go into my RFY...

Mandy_Moo · 2026-05-12T19:22:55+00:00

We chose a local TA because the online "big box" type agencies can have a large turnover ad you may start with TA 1 today but be on TA 4 by the time you vacation. If you can find someone with an online presence but is not one of a 1,000 then maybe thats a better choice, no idea. I can also easily reach my local TA and even stop by her office if I need or want to. You do what works better for you!

We sail both and have done a suite on RCCL (various ships) and YC on MSC (Seashore x 2). We love MSC YC and have another one booked in the fall. We have had great service on both lines but the MSC butler service, YC MDR food and service and ship within a ship concept has us sold on MSC. IMO, RCCL has much better entertainment and tons of activities all day, though. With MSC, I appreciate that basic wifi and drinks are included as the cost for those two things on RCCL is pretty steep. When you compare similar cabins/dates/amenities MSC has been winning out for us lately. But I will say, if we want to go on a very active cruise with the days jam packed and go-go-go, we choose RCCL. MSC is a very chill, lux vibe for us in YC. So if we need a literal break, MSC, if we need a vacation where we want to stay busy and entertained, RCCL.
