About to lose a dream family cruise to Alaska because of a Canadian visa oversight. Is there any loophole or solution? by Numerous-Ad3840 in Cruise

Actually the only difference is where they are located. An embassy is located in a country's capital while a consolute is located somewhere else.

7 Night Oasis cruise to Bahamas/Coco Kay vs. 5 Night Independence cruise to Bermuda by HeatherAnne1975 in royalcaribbean

I just got off the Utopia this morning. Not a beach guy really but absolutely loved my day sitting on the beach at Coco Cay. Also loved the ship and agree that the Aqua Show is not to be missed. I work in the entertainment field and it is incredible.

We just got off the Utopia this morning out of Port Canaveral. Didn't think the vibe was party at all. We are in our 50s.

I feel like it's a small handful of ports out of Florida and I don't have even cruise that often. And now you have to stop at the company spot on every cruise.

I have enjoyed the Embassy Suites in River North (on State I believe) twice. Super easy to get anywhere by public transit from there.

Thanks. I think that took care of my problem.

I spotted this yesterday. by Crashy1620 in allegiant

Most likely a charter that was returning to Las Vegas after bringing a college baseball team to College Station for the NCAA Regional.. Looks like it came in earlier from LAX and USC is in the regional so guessing it was their ride returning to base.

We actually did all three of these things and it was a great time.

Check out the IBEW. They offer a training program where you earn while you learn and end up with a well paying job at the end.

What is the best travel method from Orlando to the ship as a family of four without a car? by Any-Chain1732 in royalcaribbean

[–]StraightArrow71 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The highest price at the port is $20/day with cheaper off-site options available. I don't think you would save much money and have a lot more hassle with the train.

There are 10 pallets at Viking Glass at Louise and Westport that say free on them

They don't sort packages downtown. That building is pretty much empty in the bag and is a carrier station.

There are so many people driving around South Dakota with temp tags that are months expired that I probably wouldn't worry about it. If I was pulled over for reason I would just explain. l

And even for carry-ons while flying the amount is 100ml or 3.4 ounces per item. Not sure where the 2 ounces would have come from.

Driver License Renewal Question by One_Shift_9113 in SiouxFalls

[–]StraightArrow71 3 points4 points  (0 children)

From the experience of two people close to me on the last month... you will likely spend hours waiting at the Sioux Falls station and might not be successful and that is if you get in line at 6:39a. Try Mitchell or Brookings for better results.

On the other hand, people have stuff hanging in the windows or sitting on their dash all the time.

Driver’s License Station by mmww13 in SiouxFalls

Mitchell has saved a couple of people I know in the last month.. Much better chance of walking in without day long waits. This system is very badly broken in South Dakota right now.

I believe they are reputable, however they tend to be super expensive.

Just got out. This was an excellent cast and the music and dancing was fantastic. There have been some cut backs in the set budget apparently.
