Hi Jason, How does one become a Preferred Agent?? My wife a vet of 70 cruises and an Agent with Expediacruiseshipcenter is interested. Ed Wynn, The Skipper

Going to Orthopedic Surgeon on Thursday to see when I can schedule the first knee replacement.

Just returned from a 26 day cruise of the Baltic and Transatlantic to NYC. Booked our air through Princess Cruises, Albuquerque, New Mexico to Copenhagen, Denmark. All went well until our leg out of Madrid, Spain to Copenhagen. Iberian Express service, 3 hour flight. Less that six inches of leg room for all seats. At six feet;4 inches: needless to say I was :Stuffed: into a seat. Did physical damage to both of my knees on this flight. This is a "No Frills" airline where a plastic glass of water will cost you 5 Euros. Spent over $1,300 in medical expenses aboard the Regal Princess. Anything to kill the pain in my left knee!! Used a cane for the entire cruise and had to disembark in New York City in a wheel chair. Went to my primary doctor today for more pain meds and referral to an orthopedic surgeon. Looks like a knee replacement is in my future. Bone grinding on bone thanks to my airline flight with Iberian. Just wanted to alert all my fellow cruisers to avoid this airline at all costs. Been flying all of my life and never run into a situation like this.

Shari, just a low light but it sure does the trick. Been using it at home too and it is for sure going on our 25 day cruise later this month.

Have not seen any of them in our 66 cruises.. Oh well.

Just booked the Viking Sun for New Years Cruise 2018/19.

Used one of these on our recent Equinox cruise. If you have every stumbled around a cruise ship stateroom in the pitch dark you might want one of these. Using it at home now too.

Trying for two days to post review and keep getting the following message: You do not have permission for this request /cruise-reviews/browse-cruise-reviews?do=save What am I supposed to do???

Yes, Kevin it was very nice weather and the seas were smooth as glass.

Like the "grab and go kit" idea. That one was new to me.

Have a red, white and blue strap that goes around the bag and it has my name woven into it. Kind of hard to miss. LOL

Wish I could get "refurbished."

Thanks for the prompt and informative review.

The Diamond is one of favorite ships. Going to have to give this cruise a try one of these days.

That was our "Honeymoon Ship" Glad to hear she is still around and going strong.

Thanks for the review MaryLou. Did you take Crazie with you???

You Bet!!!

We have 26 Princess cruises under our belts. Elite is the best perk program afloat.

I take either a netbook or a laptop and a pair of small speakers, so we can have music in the room and use the computer or netbook for emails. We both take Nooks with us as well since we are avid readers. All of which requires us the have our power strip along as well.

Go for it!!

Thanks to all of you and I will indeed post a review on our return.

We like to go to one of the specialty spots once in awhile.
