Marc, thanks for the note. I just went there and got an error and list of code so perhaps they are working on it. This is likely a blip in our transition to the new forum layout.

Yeah, what is the duty, 10%? I think only the most zealous officer is going to want to spend the time to collect $2 or $3 because someone is a couple bottles heavy.

I was trying to be humorous about the subject, hence the little :mrgreen: at the end of my post. My note about beer tasters was meant to show that they can be equally as pretentious as those...

I also did a sample pricing. I looked at the 7/7/13 12-night cruise of Carnival Sunshine, which begins and ends in Barcelona. An inside cabin is around $950 per person, not bad for 12 nights. ...
