Talking Party Line

We also had a party line on our first phone. You could tell from the number of rings whether the call was for you or someone else. If you picked up, you could also hear "clicks" on the line,...

Exclamation Social Networks

I don't. I tried Facebook for about a week, then dropped out. Kept getting requests to be "friends" with people I had never heard of, simply because they were known by someone's fifth cousin of a...

Exclamation Explorer Dress Code

The "suggested" dress code for My Time Dining is the same as the main dining room.

On non-formal nights, the suggested dress is smart casual, which, for men, means Dockers-type pants, and a golf...

Red face Tipping in Specialty Restaurant

That's true, but I've never been sure who actually got the included gratuity. So, I always leave a $10 bill. If we're using the BOGO coupon (at Chops), that's two very nice meals for $40. Hard to get...

Talking Snobs

We have been on 40+ cruises, and our greatest fear on each and every cruise is that we will be seated with the "tablemates from Hell" at dinner. Fortunately, it has only happened two or three times,...

Talking Dress Code

We usually eat at Chops at least once during a cruise, and have never seen anyone there in shorts. Occasionally, I will wear a jacket and tie at Chops, but usually it's just dress pants and a golf...

Red face Concierge Lounge/Diamond Club

Not every ship has a dedicated Concierge Lounge. Can't really say how they handle their Suite and Diamond Plus cruisers, since we tend to avoid those ships.

We were on the Jewel OTS in...

Red face To Suit or not to Suit

We just returned from back-to-back cruises on the Jewel of the Seas. On the first (7-night) cruise we had two formal nights. There were a surprising number of men in tuxedos, and it seemed most of...

Talking New Orleans Cruise

We're booked out of NOLA for back-to-back-to-back cruises in January, 2013. We haven't been there since 1971 - do you suppose it's changed;)?

I recently had my broker wire transfer some money into my checking account at Fifth Third bank. The transfer went through fine, but the bank charged me a $15 fee for the transfer.

Exclamation Brilliance OTS

The "friend" doesn't know what he/she is talking about. If the ship were that bad, there would be a gazillion posts on these forums warning people to stay away.

Red face Transatlantic Cruise

I'm certainly no expert in transatlantic cruises, but we have done two. Both were in September. On one of them, we ran into the end of a hurricane, and the seas were very high, plus strong winds. ...

Talking Tattoos

I have a small tattoo on my right calf. It's the logo of the university I support. I got it when I was in my mid-60s. I figured I didn't have to ask anyone's permission or forgiveness.

Repo Cruises

On our first transatlantic (repo) cruise, we ran into the remains of hurricane Gustav. Very strong winds, very high seas. On the second TA, it was as smooth as glass the entire time. Both were in...
