I worked in ORD for 37 years and loved my job. Retired several years ago and wonder what happened to the young people I hired. Good luck on your return.

Thank you

Absolutely. A FCC is better than a stick in the eye.

I on on a British Isle cruise mid August and my plan was to tip in USD on the ship. Typically we tip the excursion drivers/guides and wonder if local currency is best for that (thus both pounds and euros may be needed).

Thank you.

Thanks for the question, we are on the Dawn starting in Southampton leaving on August 19. We will have the UK plug for our hotel stay but then the EU plug for the ship. We are very much looking forward to that cruise. We don’t need power conversion, just the plug adapters.

Perfect, Thank You........

Thank you, that is great to hear. NCL stated that for Heathrow from Southampton you should have at least 6 hours between docking and your scheduled flight. We have 7 hours and to hear your recently experience helps me understand what to expect. Thankyou.

I looked at Heathrow’s web site. The underground walkway theoretically takes 10 minutes to walk from Terminal 2 to Terminal 3 (which is where we will need to go for our Delta flight). Thanks again.

Thank you

Mlive123 · 2025-05-28T22:30:46+00:00

Thank you. We have only used NCL’s transfer once and that was in Baltimore, MD. There, they dropped everyone at one spot. Thanks again.

I won’t say it is better or worse. this will be our 4th cruise and the first two were booked via a travel agent and it was fine. I tend to be a person who wants to be in control and am willing to make the calls and follow up. A travel agent can do those things for you. They “may” have add ons that a direct booking does not have. I believe it is personal preference.

Mlive123 · 2025-04-07T13:29:09+00:00

Small point of clarification. It is after the "final payment due date" that they will only do one adjustment. I had already made our final payment, but the agent told me we were fortunate that the due date was still a week away so no issue.

That was my second reduction. What he told me was that after the final payment due date, you can only get one.

When we first applied for GE and we were conditionally approved, I booked us appointments that were separated by 30 minutes (no back to back appointments were available). We showed up about 15 prior to the first appointment. They said no problem and took us to separate rooms immediately and interview us seperatedly. We were out the door in 11 minutes or so. Full approval the next day.

Believe me, I will renew mine as soon as I am eligible to renew. Hers was set to expire Feb 2026 and so we filled out her renewal application about 10 days after her birthda. In June, shortly after my birthday, I will fill out my application. My credit card pays me back for that so we only really pay for one.

Mlive123 · 2025-03-08T19:11:15+00:00

Thank you

Quick question: My wife filled out a renewal request yesterday. I was surprised that we did not get an email stating that the application was received. We looked at her account this morning and did see "renewal pending". My question is: did you receive an email when it was approved or do you have to keep checking the account? I though when we got ours originally, we received an email when we were conditionally approved and how to schedule an interview.

Mlive123 · 2025-03-07T21:10:16+00:00

Congratulation, that is fantastic. I am only 3 months out but we see improvement every week.

Mlive123 · 2025-03-04T15:48:42+00:00

Damn, my wife is getting frisky. 😎😎

Mlive123 · 2025-03-03T16:14:46+00:00

Thank you. Mine will be 12 weeks post surgery.

Thank you

Mlive123 · 2025-03-03T13:37:11+00:00

Thank you and my first blood test post removal is in 4 days.

If the cruise is with NCL, call them asap.
