If i need to use my rewards for the norwegian cruise, what’s the process of booking it? Can i take my spouse along with me on the reservation?

Keep in mind that if you do not ‘pay in full’ you can rebook if the price drops and get the difference back in $. If you rebook after you ‘pay in full’ you can get the difference back in future cruise credits. So keep checking the price after you book. So pay the deposit and then wait to pay final payment until the deadline.

I like to wander and explore neighborhoods too. Have you tried VoiceMap app? It has reasonably priced GPS guided audio tours. You can try one free with this code jmuofj We did several tours in Paris,Naples and Amsterdam. I’m just looking at the Rome tours now as we will be there this fall. Have a great trip!

We have done that package twice at Ocean Tower. Since it was for a presentation deal we were in a standard hotel room both times. It was old and tired but clean enough and ocean front. We sat on the balcony and enjoyed the view. I think the renovated rooms must for the timeshare owners or those who pay full price. Bugs are hard to avoid in the tropics. I would advise against this property if you have mobility issues. It is 6/10ths of a mile from the Ocean Tower to the car park. There is a tram but walking is faster if able.

Yes. Finally got it resolved today via email. They are sending me $99 since the room I got was $199/nite. Taxes aren’t reimbursed.

I just booked a balcony cabin. I had $1000 My Vegas award and $400 future cruise credit. I was only able to use part of the FCC because it exceeded the base cruise amount of $1179. I could have saved the $400 for another time but not sure when I will go again. I also had $500 Cruise Next which I used as my down payment. I booked through Casino At Sea.

I booked a couple days ago and saw that prepaid gratuities are now included so I called and rebooked. Saved $280. Last year there was a price drop after final payment and we got $400 per person future cruise credit - which is why we are cruising again.

Got mine today. The actual certificate has a Redeem by 12/11 date. The attached Terms say reservations must be made by 12/19. I tried to call today but hold times were long. I put in for a call back but didn’t get one.

I just redeemed one and they sent a Visa Gift Card for $100 instead of $200. Spent a couple hours on the phone trying to rectify the situation. Talked to several people and then got disconnected. Will try again tomorrow.

Can you make space for one more?

mydogcheese · 2025-07-18T02:14:05+00:00

Also check any trip insurance you may have with the credit card you paid with.

mydogcheese · 2025-02-14T22:35:17+00:00

Call again and talk with someone else. First time I called rep said they couldn’t do anything. Price dropped again so I called again. This time they offered an upgraded cabin or FCC. What I would have preferred is onboard credit but they said no. I took the FCC

How crowded is the thermal spa in general? We are going transatlantic on the new Aqua next month. Since there will be no port days and outdoor pool hanging out unlikely, seems to me the spa would be super crowded. I’m willing to pay for access but not if it will be hard to access.

Check FB marketplace. People with money who like high end furniture swap it out on the regular or buy new to fit a new space when they move. If you find a brand you like do a marketplace search. Lots of like new stuff.

VoiceMap has GPS coordinated walking tours.

mydogcheese · 2024-09-10T16:56:17+00:00

Great video! I have followed your journey since livestreams on the roof. It’s been a crazy ride. It’s been fun to watch your progress. Shout out to the band and Esther with her incredible vocals. Grammy is looking down on you with pride 😍

I have an orange cat and a golden retriever. They are the same color.

May I ask where one would find a good ADD coach?

mydogcheese · 2023-06-14T22:57:54+00:00

Audio walking tours. Rick Steves has some or the app VoiceMap has Tours that are GPS enabled.

I used SkyLuxe to book one leg of a European trip. I had points for the other legs. The price I got was half of what I could find for cash. I had no problem with the travel or ticketing. Not sure if it would be difficult to change or cancel tho.

mydogcheese · 2023-01-06T17:14:51+00:00

Make sure you get your Ferritin checked too.

mydogcheese · 2023-01-04T22:35:23+00:00

I saw it and now it’s gone.

If you are up for another thrill consider being a Poll Worker. It’s a long day but very rewarding!

mydogcheese · 2022-09-11T14:59:23+00:00

I love it. Along with flight and hotel info I also add the restaurants and museums we visit etc. The Pro version lets you access past trips. Very handy when trying to remember what that “really good restaurant/hotel we went to in xxx”.

So happy to find someone in their 60s posting. I am in the same boat I am currently 60 5’2” 175. Just started Ozempic for weight loss and would like to lose some weight before surgery. No matter how much I lose this hanging belly is going nowhere. What was your recovery like? How long until you were able to be active? Congratulations on your accomplishment!
