    Tip for snorkel gear: clean the glass well with isopropyl alcohol and then coat both sides in baby shampoo before you head to the beach. Leave it on. At the beach do not touch the glass with your fingers but rinse all the shampoo out by shaking them in the water then put them on. It is the oils and grease from your fingers that cause goggles to fog up. It took me years of messed up snorkel trips and far too many expensive pairs of goggles to work out this no fail method. Clean the oils off with the alcohol and then just pour BABY SHAMPOO in. Make sure it’s baby shampoo for no tears. Johnson and Johnson, the yellow one is best.

    Question: Have you traveled with, or do you have food allergies? I have a severe food allergy, and a few food intolerances. I am scared that if I book a cruise, I would be stuck eating one or two limited meals, to avoid my allergen. Do you have any insight or advice on cruising with food allergies?

      There's not much to it. People just hide them on the ship for others to find and collect. And if you find one, you can choose to keep it and take it home, or rehide for someone else to find. It's just a silly, fun thing.

    I'm a Carnival cruiser and I would have been up set if I booked this. We did a fishing excursion in Freeport a few years ago and it was pretty cool. Most of the time unless it's a brand new port we haven't gone to we stay on the ship or just hop off for an hour or so and walk around the port shops. Thank for the Short.

    You know there has always been a disclaimer that informs the consumers that the price does not include port fees and taxes. Just because people are lazy or careless or just say it…stupid and do not pay attention to those disclaimers does not mean that they were not informed of the additional cost. What you are going to see now with this new law will be people getting sticker shock and freaking out saying that cruise prices have jumped.

  • @Star-Boarder
    @Star-Boarder วันที่ผ่านมา

    I don't see the big deal. Port fees & taxes vary among itineraries and location and length of the cruise. It's not negotiable. So I prefer to see the price of the cruise before the government steps in. It's not deceptive.
