I agree with you. Forbidden is more convenient for me but I prefer St Pizza.

re: What cruise destinations have you done?

Last year we did a 7 night Greek Isles and Turkey cruise. In June, we did an 10 night Italy, Croatia, Montenegro, Greece cruise. In October, we’re doing a 12 night Best of Japan cruise.

re: Celebrity Cruise "MoveUp" program
Posted by TigerGrl73 on 7/21/26 at 5:04 pm to LSUBanker
The Move Up suggestions for cruises I’ve done are ridiculously high. You don’t even get the premium drink package or WiFi that comes with suites if you move up. We just book the level we want from the beginning.
Check some Celebrity groups on Facebook or Cruise Critic. There will be lots of Move Up posts.

re: Little Rock dinner recs?

I like Brave New and Allsop. Trio’s, to me, is the most consistent even if the atmosphere is more “ladies who lunch” than date night. Ciao Baci is worth a look but parking can be a pain. George’s is top tier but it’s difficult to get a reservation.

It’s perfect. Debit, checks, free wires, etc. no worries about the FDIC limit because they do deposit sweeps. No fees for anything at all, as far as I can tell.
USAA charges $25 for wires and requires a phone call if over a certain amount. I can set up a new wire with Fidelity in less time and for free.
re: Euros for Europe .. get here or there?
Posted by TigerGrl73 on 7/1/26 at 8:32 am to tiger91
Just stay away from the shady ATMs like Euronet. Those things are everywhere these days.
We took out more Euros than usual this time because we were on Greek islands most of the trip, and even there nearly everyone took tap to pay. There will be the occasional exception but you really don’t need much cash.

If you have a Visa Infinite credit card like Chase Sapphire Reserve, you can get 3gb/15 days free with Gigsky. I’m using it in Europe and it’s been great.

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.

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.

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.
