Thanks! Maybe we will do what you did, just find a driver and take a tour! Nice to hear from another Minnesota gal, my hubby and I are born and raised Minnesotan's! Near Duluth.

One of the most confusing things for travelers when booking flights are the names on the reservation. As we all know - or should know, especially if booking our own flights - airline reservations require names to exactly match those on the guest’s passport or ID. But what about middle names? According to theTSA and Homeland Security travel requirements, middle names are not required, even if the middle name is spelled out on the passenger’s passport or traveling ID. In fact, by omitting the middle name, you avoid confusion as to whether to use middle initial or middle name, or in the case of some, having to squeeze 2 middle names on the reservation. You also avoid the annoying running of two names together on the flight reservation, i.e. “John Paul Jones” becomes “Johnpaul Jones”. When TSA states the requirement that names match ID, they are not concerned with middle names, only the accurate spelling of first and last. For instance, if the passport says “Thomas Smith”, then “Tom” Smith is unacceptable. I hope this clears up the confusion and makes your next flight reservation go easy.?

Congratulations on your cruise, Nancy! Hope you will come back and tell us all about it. Have fun!

Congrats Nancy - my nephew has just got back and they really loved it!!

I love the fettuccini alfredo on the Princess “every night” menu, and David and I will sometimes share a plate with our entrees. On the Epic, we tried the Noodle Bar, which was really good - probably my favorite meal of the whole cruise!?

Im new to group and dont want to rock the ship but I just got off my 130th cruise. I have many ways to cruise for free but dont know if I can teach them on this site. Please let me know. Thanks Panama Jim
