Way to go, Kevin Chapman !

#66!

#64 on a rerun. 93* here in Montebello, So. Cal. Gas is $4.35.

WOw 7 years. We been in ii for the long haul😂 Allianz is who we use also. We're also getting ready for our Mediterranean cruise and the transatlantic. B2b starts oct 22nd.

Your Zermatt hotel fared better than a motel we stayed at in coastal Mississippi. I saw a picture of it after Hurricane Katrina. It was relocated to across the street !

17 days in Zermatt. it’s a tough job, but someone has to do it 😂

#55. gas jumped about 30 cents this week to $3.49. Temp predicted July 3 is 105 F which i think will be the highest temp I have experienced here in Greeley Colorado since I moved here 16 years ago.

#50 😊

Never had a problem with msc cruises always been a wonderful time.

TU # 89.

New subscriber from Chino Valley, Arizona. Going on world cruise in January on the Island Princess. Excited!

Thanks, Bruce.

#65

#67 on the rerun. Hawaii on the Grand Princess. This will be our longest cruise.

#61 on a rerun. In Montebello we are finally out of June Glume and it's starting to get HOT. Gas is $4.19

Hearing your experience with flight booking. I’m thinking it’s time to take the train. 🚂

#49, 89° in Greensboro NC HOT!! I know everyone nowadays is savvy enough to get on the different airline websites and Expedia, Hotwire etc websites but why not use a travel agent? If something goes terribly wrong you can always call them up to fix the mess, instead of you standing at the airport dumbfounded. That happened to a friend of mine traveling. There was some mixup with his airline ticket saying it wasn't purchased. He called his travel agent and everything got squared away. Not him trying to explain everything to the agent at the airport (because they really wouldn't want to hear it anyway)

We just came back from London and Paris. In London, we loved "The Play that Goes Wrong".

#85 on the replay. It's been awhile. Since travelling in our first year or Retirement, we have been having so much fun and not spending much time on CZcams. We book our cruises typically 1 1/2 years to 2 years in advance. We prepay for tips. Additionally we give our house stewards additionally and any people who are exceptional during our stay. We go to one or two specialty dinners and we tip our server $20 there too. Queen Mary 2 is on our bucket list. Enjoy.

Some people don't tip at all.

Tipped at checkout it was also a credit line for shopping and drinks.

#76 on a rerun. Bon voyage on the Queen.

#74 on rerun, Tuesday 6/11.

#71 on the rerun. 🙋🏼‍♀️☔️ We’re on the Royal Princess in February Auckland to Sydney. We were on the Ovation of the Seas this past February Sydney RT. We just loved it there and that’s why we are going back to see some new ports of call. We never remove our tips and always prepay. Plus tip more.

My understanding is that the service charge is really a way for NCL in my case to fund a good portion of crew wages with a fairly fixed amount per cruise. More of a budgeting tool since the base cruise price fluctuates based on demand. Crew don't really see the majority of the service charge as extra pay above their contract wages. I am good with that. If they didn't do this plan the base would be higher and the next result would be about the same anyway.

I would never remove the service charge and always pre pay it so it is out of the way. I don't tip huge amounts on the ship like some claim. Maybe a $50 amazon gift card to the steward per week. I will add $5 for specialty dining if the server was above normal.

Hi Bruce and Jen. Sorry I forgot yesterday was Monday LOL. I booked a 23 day cruise on NCL Joy Miami to Seattle in April 2026, Hope to add an Alaskan cruise after we disembark, probably a smaller ship in Vancouver. NCL does not have the 2026 Alaska Cruises available to book yet.

Yes I like to Prepay gratuities, so as the cruise line say I will start with a clean wallet. Never remove gratuities. #39 I think.

You need to come back from Australia on a cruise via Tahiti !

#64. Temp about 80 before big thunderstorm. Gas as low as $2.94

#62, Bruce. I never asked for a tip reduction on a cruise.

#61. Should be first 90 degree day tomorrow in Greeley. Nighttime lows still in 50’s

Labadee looked like a pretty place. Wish I had gotten off the ship while we were there now. Guess we'll have to go back some day.

#53, listen to the rerun.

The Wild Animal Sanctuary in Keenesburg, Colorado ( near Denver ) has rescued many, many of these tigers and lions from the miserable conditions of these ‘attractions’ frm all over the world. It’s a worthwhile place to visit if you are near Denver
