No difference when calculating all costs is a normal practice. I even note the 5ers and 10ers I carry for baggage tips and whatnot. More about knowing what the boxes are, and making sure they're checked.

LyndaMR on CC says "They will be stopping the ship this evening between 8 & 9 pm to reengage the starboard screw (propeller) and run tests. As long as all goes well we should be able to get our scenic cruising in College Fjord tomorrow. So as long as this solves the issue all should be fixed tonight and cruising will resume as per the itinerary."

Princess Cruises, the owners of the vessel, cited passenger and crew safety as the reason the ship stayed at sea rather than docking."

We have a b2b2b booked for the fall, in an Oceanview cabin. From what I've seen of the amenities for this cabin, it's quite pleasant.
I will be exploring like a kid on the new ship... looking forward to this cruise immensely.

Looks like we may see you on board.  :D

Cruising Tips Chatter / Re: Airline insolvencies and other surprising things not covered by travel insurance

It's similar to our home insurance that tool us 1 1/2 years to get a settlement on.
Upfront they cover just about everything but when you make a claim it's not what you expect.
They're all the same.

Pay it upfront or pay it later. Not much difference to me.
