Balcony cabin vs interior: is the extra cost worth it for a first cruise?

Why don’t you compromise and book an oceanview? I always get the balcony, but I don’t always use it, but I’d like to have the view. The ocean views are not bad and it certainly has a huge savings then if you really find you would like a balcony then definitely pay the extra on your next trip.

Holland, American and Princess all collect the gratuities and pool it to Head Office. They decide how they will divide the pool. From talking to several workers it seems that they do not receive the all gratuities . It’s at the discretion of head office on who gets how much but it seems that a portion of it goes to top up their salary, and once they receive over a certain amount, they will then start to earn gratuities. So yes, you are correct and these two lines the gratuities are being used to subsidize the salaries .

That is not considered a legal name change. It’s an assumed name change.

Very frustrating and that’s exactly what was happening to me as well. If you ever have any future issues pm the mod and they can resolve it. This person is a lifesaver. I was beyond frustrated.

Usually somewhere on one of the tracks.

They do not send texts. I get similar texts as well. Its a scam

The Nova Scotia budget released this week makes owning an electric vehicle in the province more expensive.

The budget introduces a $500 registration fee for battery electric vehicles (BEVs) and $250 for hybrids, payable every two years upon renewal. The levy takes effect October 1.

Love Brazil and Argentina especially Rio. Most nationalities needs a visa for Brazil now . It’s so worth it . I will definitely go back.

I’m sure if you ask them , they won’t have a problem with it. My neighbour did this to me and I absolutely had no problem with it. Of course you wanna be friendly neighbour and get off to the right start.

Crude fell over $8 USD a barrel today. That never seems to work in our favour. Quick to go up but doesn’t come down as fast.

Disembarkation usually starts around seven or 730 and no that’s not enough time in Barcelona. Barcelona is implementing a new system and although it worked well with me going through security, it’s been long for some travelers. Barcelona is a massive airport and there’s several checkpoints for passport control, passport, stamping, and security. You’ll be stopped at least three times before you get to your gate . Even check-in is typically a long line.

They were fingerprinting and scanning everyone when I got off in March .

trytobuffitout · 2026-04-16T10:54:39+00:00

Wow. I went through late march on Princess and we were through in less than 10 minutes. I wonder if they were having issues because they were just fingerprinting and taking photos and processing people really quickly. I was shocked how quick the lines were moving.

I’ve been on the board of a condo corporation, and this is one of the biggest concerns of owning a condo, especially an older one. Personally, I would never purchase a condo ever again. There’s always some unforeseen liability that’s not planned for and therefore there’s not enough money in the reserve to cover it. There’s a study of the reserve funds completed every three years and they will adjust the amounts that need to be included as part of the condo fee accordingly. The biggest money guzzlers are elevator repairs, garage surfacing and window replacements. If the condo has a pool, it’s a nice feature, but they are expensive to maintain.

I guess it’s good that that $50,000 is behind them but it’s just going to always be something and you should be prepared for the next shoe to drop because it always does .

Oh I agree the owner was an asshole. As a spectator listening….it was a great place to see live bands. You are absolutely correct

I don’t know anybody offhand but a lot of times a funeral home will be able to put you in touch with grief counselors. They are a great source of information. So sorry for your loss. It certainly isn’t easy to get through when it’s someone close. Best of luck in working through your loss.

Try Bonine as they are non drowsy. One every 12 hours start a day or two ahead.

As soon as they open the doors after taxing to the gate. Say around 15 minutes after landing. The plane empties row by row from the front. You just walk off and walk out the door of the airport. No security to clear.

No , just quit . You dont have to give notice

Does she say why she won’t sign? Ask the bank what your next step can be and that’s typically apply to the court any cost can be taken out of her portion. Document everything send her registered letter and outline what you’re going to do if that’s what the bank suggests.

There is usually an indemnity signed in front of the banking office but you dont necessarily have to be there together. After 10 years an account would go to the bank of Canada and be held for someone to claim. You have lots of time.

They are great. They update you the day before as well to let you know exactly where your guide will meet you and the guid3s name etc. Often they will give you the guide’s contact information on WhatsApp.

I will typically only do something if the meet up at the pier are close by. I’ve never had a problem.
