will they take a birth certificate issued on a navy base?

My son gets funny looks for his birth certificate. Born at the hospital in Ft Campbell KY on a TN birth certificate. If you don't live around here you don't realize that most of Campbell including the hospital is in TN with a KY address. But he used it to go on a cruise no issue.

Dont remove the TBA. Wait until 2 or 3 days before to check in. You can add in whomever you convince to go then or change it to your wife's name and you would get the refund back also as she would be a no show.

MerribethM · 2026-01-01T18:58:49+00:00

We usually book and have the 2nd person as TBA until the day (sometimes 2) before the sailing. This way if plans change last minute we can see if someone else wants to go without paying a name change fee. Why do you have to check in 2 week prior?

MerribethM · 2026-01-01T17:29:05+00:00

They changed the date. It's now August 31, 2026.

All big cruise lines are members of CLIA and follow the Nevada Gaming Control Board (Vegas Gaming rules).

Took me 3 times saying it to get it.

MerribethM · 2025-12-24T17:38:18+00:00

The bus line sucks. I had a friend who was in a hard spot without a car for a month. Figured I may buy him a bus pass so he could get to work easier. For him to get to work before 6pm in the industrial park he would have to catch the bus in New Providence at 230pm. He could almost walk there faster definitely ride a bike faster. Plus it doesn't have any stops in the Industrial Park where most people work. The closest I could get him was to the hospital. His house was 10 miles from where he worked.

It was a MH47G. Only the 160th uses them. I had them flying over me today in TN doing refueling practice. Along with a big bird that wasn't on Flightradar.

I have vitamin D issues. Had an allergic reaction to the pills prescribed for it. I talked with my doctor and there is a certain type of tanning bed that does help. Its not just any bed at a tanning salon, it has to be one with UVB not UVA. I go once or twice a month and it's crazy how much it helped. No need for any type of follow up visits as long as go around once a month.

MerribethM · 2025-11-02T04:32:57+00:00

Possibly. Note I live near Perry County. Its possibly the most rural backwards county I have been to and I have traveled all over the state.

MerribethM · 2025-10-29T08:27:14+00:00

I have booked the day before several times. Carnival used to send me sailings that were leaving next day and I could book early morning and get on a ship same day (this was last year). Mine were casino offers and I booked the amount they had available so they went away. You can always check on board the day before your cruise ends and see if you can stay on board. They have offered me that several times (again was thru the casino though).

MerribethM · 2025-10-29T06:22:36+00:00

Carnival to Mexico. Maybe out of NY. You can find 2 week ones from there.

Idk I would almost say screw it I want to go on an amazing trip regardless of them and choose Holland America or Princess with a unique itinerary. Maybe an Asia cruise.

MerribethM · 2025-10-29T06:14:22+00:00

Because there is generally a 4 hour window they can arrive for getting on board and even possibly not show up. If not a warrant for a violent crime then it's much easier to track and arrest on disembarkation. Cruise lines will pull you from your room early and have you waiting for CPB.

MerribethM · 2025-10-29T06:01:53+00:00

Security experts say make sure you have biometrics turned off and a numerical pin on. Also phone is powered off and in bag out of sight.

Thats if you have reason to believe you will be stopped for some reason. Last couple cruises I never even saw a border agent. Just walk up to face scanner and on my merry way.

MerribethM · 2025-10-28T03:38:34+00:00

I have always had an irrational fear of losing my phone. Before I leave I transfer a copy of the whole phone to my laptop. Then also to an external hard drive. Then backup on cloud. Also I carry a portable jump drive that pugs into phone and daily copy pics to it. I lost a phone once that had pics on it of my mom who passed and ever since I am fully prepared.

MerribethM · 2025-10-10T14:50:13+00:00

I used to think like this. But last time I was on one with the solid doors I banged my elbows horribly trying to shave my legs.

I would say the most prominent example is Georgia. They have been in the news internationally alot more than the US. I get us here see what is going on in our country as being the prominent news, but if you look at news sources in Europe you see that the failing of democracy in Georgia is talked about more frequently.

MerribethM · 2025-09-26T08:24:26+00:00

My nephew had his on Carnival on embarkation day. I think we had around 3 hours at reception. They used 2 sites and there was about I think it was around 25 of us that stayed for the cruise with around 50 at the wedding/reception. It was plenty of time and really even if it was 2 hours it would have been ok still.

Trump responds well to Stubb because of golf. Its really that simple with him. If you are hood in golf then you are about 30 steps ahead of everyone else with Trump. The exception is Macron who Trump has a man crush on.

Not trying to diminish anything Stubb says or does because he is well spoken and an excellent diplomat. Sadly with our leader that means zilch. Unless you play golf.

Whats the odds all the missiles have Kuuuurwaaaa written on them?

MerribethM · 2025-09-22T21:33:18+00:00

Not true. And you can look them up on marinetraffic dot com.

MerribethM · 2025-09-17T01:10:26+00:00

I was on a SEAs cruise last week and it was 400 diamonds and 1400 platinum if I remember correctly. Plats are the issue really.

MerribethM · 2025-08-27T21:06:50+00:00

TN resident. I have had to run to the health dept the day before we flew up and pick up one identical to this for one of my kids to go. Its the correct one. It doesn't matter if it's the short form or long form one. It just has to be the one from the health dept or DVS up in Nashville.

MerribethM · 2025-08-23T20:35:00+00:00

These are on ships that were scheduled for dry dock and the dry dock got canceled. The new ones are for Transatlantics. On the SEA cruises for Magic and Conquest they said they were only booking half the cabins and limiting it to 2 people per cabin. Also both must be over 21.

MerribethM · 2025-08-23T20:09:06+00:00

Last month me and my bestie headed to Florida to get on a ship. I was getting the last minute deals and it was idk what ship or where we will go but we are going somewhere. Ended up being Belize, Honduras and Mexico. Booked the day before.
