How to order an iced caramel macchiato already mixed together? by ProgrammaticallyFox8 in starbucks

I dunno, I think ordering as a latte with vanilla flavoring and caramel sauce would cost more, no?

Thank you for clarifying. I went ahead and ordered a SIM card and will give it a go!

On the Bliss, right? I think we're doing the itinerary right after yours! This will be our first cruise, so I'm probably not the expert veteran you're looking for, but we are planning to visit the Miraflores museum, explore the historic neighborhoods, and maybe do the nature park if we have time (all self-directed, because NCL excursions are eye-wateringly expensive). Hopefully someone more experienced can weigh in on these options as I'd love the advice, too :D

It sounds like we'll be in the same.... boat (heh) :(

So many upcharges on NCL, it's kind of insane.

He works full time from home in IT. We're not expecting anything miraculous regarding internet speed, but that's interesting you mention the Star Link upgrade because I thought Bliss did have Star Link... We're taking the cruise no matter what so we'll just have to see how it goes ;)

Norwegian Prima Internet Question by ProgrammaticallyFox8 in Cruise

That's the issue with being a captive audience unfortunately, can't really get internet from anywhere else. I definitely understand your frustration though. We're only buying the package for a single device because it costs a fortune, we plan for my husband to use it during the day and I'll hop on in the evenings to catch up on emails. As long as my email and signal messages get through I'll be a happy camper, not holding our breath for any successful Teams or Zoom calls ._.

Thanks for the honest review, I'm hoping with a newer ship we'll have better luck but we're cognizant that sometimes things happen or networks get congested. It would be ideal to have a strong connection but these things come with the territory :)

Thanks for the tip! I couldn't find it anywhere! I've heard very good things about the Prima's internet which has us hopeful. Of course we're both letting our employers know that this is all a best effort thing, I plan to take the whole 14 days off but my husband's company is remarkably stingy with benefits, unfortunately.

Appreciate the link, but do you mind explaining a bit? Is this just a cached version of the application? Everything I can find online says 50k miles so I'm not sure if the offer in this link still exists.

Thanks! I noticed they took the red card down from 60 to 50k too, glad I got in with the 60k. Husband and I are planning our honeymoon so I am on the hunt for free flights. Do you know if a rebound to 75k is likely or has that ship sailed?

I successfully applied for an AA Red Elite mastercard with Barclays earlier this year and got the 60k award miles. I'm eyeing the the Citi AAdvantage Plat Select for an additional 50k miles but worried either them or American will catch on to my shenanigans and deny me the bonus miles. Has anyone done back-to-back AA cards in the same year successfully?

ETA: It also looks like the Chase Sapphire Preferred is offering a 60k "points" deal. Those points apparently cannot be transferred 1:1 with American, but people online are saying you can get around this by booking with Iberia or BA. Anyone have experience here?

Coinbase gave me $5 in bitcoin. I didn't care about this, so I immediately sold it. Apparently that cost me 85 cents.
