re: Has anyone ever cruised a major cruise line out of Europe

Did you check the price of an entry level suite? Sometimes you end up getting a better deal that way since more things (premium drink package and premium WiFi for instance) are included. But yes, I agree. They love their add-ons. I don’t book specially dining since I won’t book lower than Aqua Class which has its own restaurant and I book third party excursions if I don’t DIY a port.
We did an older Celebrity ship in Aqua Class last year out of Athens to Santorini, Mykonos, Rhodes, Ephesus and Hydra. Next week we are in a suite on Ascent out of Rome for 10 nights going to Sicily, Dubrovnik, Split, Bar, Olympia, Corfu and Naples.
I like the size of Celebrity’s ships (not too big, not too small) and I like the clientele. There’s usually a wide range of ages represented as well.

Several times the few years we lived in Alexandria. It’s awesome. Easy in, easy out. The one negative is if you check bags, you will be waiting for them awhile on your return.

Those aren’t sold by Walmart. It’s a third party seller selling at a crazy markup on Walmart’s platform.

They have good customer service but that's about it.
And sometimes that's iffy although I can't really say what service is like anywhere else since I've been with USAA for nearly 20 years. My husband has been a member for over 40 and he's witnessed the steady decline. We still have all of our insurance with them though.

It wasn’t bad early on Tuesday. TSA Pre Touchless ID rocks, btw.

We had the gumbo dumplings today and they were good but cold (and expensive, but everything is expensive). We also had tamales, a crawfish pie from Lasyone’s, and jerk chicken and a spicy Jamaican meat patty from 14 Parishes. 14 Parishes was the standout.

Isn’t that airline policy dependent? I had an overnight layover several years ago in Miami on AA and we had to retrieve our checked luggage then recheck the next day.

When I was in a similar situation (my dad died suddenly and my mom had stage IV cancer), I put mom’s money in a HYSA and short term CDs.
re: Maui Activity Recs

Mai tai at Tikihau. Koast is a great restaurant in the same building.
I only do Happy Hour at Monkeypod for the pizzas. I go to Mama’s for my last meal before flying home and yes it’s insanely expensive but I personally feel it’s worth it.
Can’t help with activities because when I am there, I park myself on a beach and eat Foodland poke every day. :lol:

The sargassum on that side was really bad last year. I think it is seasonal so you should probably research it. We stayed on the other side and didn’t see any.

It saved people significant time in Miami last week. I didn’t even know about it until then so I opted in as soon as I returned home.
