All inclusive cruise
I found out about the all inclusive cruise,it is not from Delaware,it is
from Baltimore on the Carnival Pride in Feb.2011. it is for the FOP union, cost is $595.00 plus anyone over 21 add an additional $280.00 for a 7 day cruise to cape canaveral, and 2 other islands. That includes all drinks,taxes,and fees. But nothing is said about tips. We will not book it since we do not drink enough to merit $280,00 per person for a 7 day cruise,and you will have 2 days of cold sailing going and 1and 1/2 returning. Would not be able to be outside on the deck. surfer e2468 cruise lover(~~~~~) .. |

It would be so nice to go to Baltimore, park the car, at a hotel and get on the ship. Sigh, no planes, no TSA crap(I have a SS knee that always sets off alarms and have to go thru the body pat down and scan. Not horrible, just a pita, another slow down to ultimate destination). And for us a summer cruise isn't practical, we have a beautiful pool and lovely yard that back the woods and provides us beautiful birds n critters to enjoy. Crazy to leave that. Pool is over 80, perfect, why leave??? Thanks for the info. Nan in DE |

Joint replacement patients, and there are millions of them, are given data cards which can be given to the TSA prior to a wand or full body scan. Won't make much difference, the TSA is going to stop you the large majority of time, pull you out of line. Never less, present your data card prior to setting off an alarm to at least keep from ****ing them off that you didn't. -- Ari Silverstein, C.T.A; C.T.A.S, FREE Cruise Travel Advisory Services www.cruisequick.com - able to offer some of the lowest prices and best value added in the industry.

There were two sea days each way, and you are in the Gulf Stream so the weather is fairly warm. You might not want to sit out on the first day, but by the second day some people are in the pool. I went swimming on the first sea day coming back - the weather was quite nice. |

All inclusive cruise
NAN:We also have a beautiful back yard and is a sanctuary for all kinds
of critters, we usually cruise in late fall and winter,but since they have made flying such a PITA we now cruise from ports near us,but we are limited because from where we are it is usually 2 days cold going and 2 days cold returning,and we do not go on a cruise to stay inside on the ship,we prefer sitting outdoors on deck. cruise lover(~~~~~) .. |

The TSA will soon be issuing "unforgeable" documents to people with documentable metalic devices, but you'll still get wanded. If you have a "magentic sensitive medical device", such as a pacer or an electronic pain stabilizer, you can ask for a pat down and walk around the metal detector. There was an incident in 2007 or 2008 where an agent forced (as in pushed) a passenger through a detector. Passenger experienced atrial (I think) fibrilation and died (an AED won't work with a pacer). -- - dillon I am not invalid Toby (Tri-Umph That's the Sweet Truth) March 1998 - June 2010 What a dog.

I've done online searches but can't find any reference to this really happening. Almost every time I go to the screening in a wheelchair I tell them that I can walk through. Recently, they have been asking me if I have any medical devices, by which I suppose they mean pacemakers. I have been thinking of telling them that so far they've only removed things and haven't put any back. (gall bladder and melanomas). The screening if I do NOT walk through as happened the last time in Kona was WAY more difficult than it needed to be. Not only did I have to stand for a long time, but I also had to have my arms up which makes standing much more difficult for me. |
