@Maybelline True did you just disembark today in Amsterdam? If so, we were on the same cruise! And who is boblerm? Is he doctor or lawya? Tilting at windmills, like Inigo Montoya. He hasn't a clue, O'wen that he met me. A table at Arthur's, and Jeannie makes three. Now he's all alone, just Bob and ...

Note that this is drib's second disabled account. (The first was san diego dude.)

Only status updates yesterday.

Ethereal Cruiser I often check my characters using the @ thingy, but I may have missed this one because there is also an EtherealCruiser, no space inbetween. My Ethereal Cruiser's last retained post was in October 2023. Note that I also had a character Thereal McCoy, based on Portnoy's Complaint, w...

In a shy way, @boblerm refused to take credit for writing this review of his April 2024 Tauck cruise, Holland and Belgium in Spring. :music: And now the end is here, It's time to face our debarkation. My friends, I'll make it clear, I'll state the case of our vacation. We lived a life that's full, W...

This review was also posted on CFC by sd duderino , although CFC edited it there a little bit. (They left out the cabin number, for example. :shock:) Here's the link to the CFC review, and then below is my original review, edited for spell-checking mistakes, and adding some media available to me on ...

Regent: trips w/insert: 238, total inserts: 2577, total sql: 2717. There were three new (replacement) itineraries for Splendor between 2025.05.31 and 07.02, with a Gap from 06.14 to 06.21. I'll pick any new fares there on Monday's first follow-up. Otherwise, a brief glance at those 238 trips with fa...

E.Rod (A dot is a valid character, but not a dash.) Don't cry for E.Rod.

im just drib

san diego dude

im just drib offered a truce, but it was apparently denied.

san diego dude is a strange dude in that his posts were maintained, and he can still be found using the @ THINGY.

Oceania: rips w/insert: 0, total inserts: 0, total sql: 192.

Missed this before:

Just for grins, I added this to Roll Call only: trip=9163 . 135 days. The itinerary is very similar to Oceania Vista in 2026 - the 120 day version from San Diego to Miami. trip=9162 There is a longer 180 day version that loops around South America, Miami to San Diego, first. Regarding new ports (to ...

Crystal: Now hopelessly out-of-date, and so it is disabled. Oceania: trips w/insert: 28, total inserts: 261, total sql: 405. Big increases, 10 trips on Marina, 10 trips on Riviera, and 8 on Vista .... except this one had a 5.5% decrease (calc), except for B5: Athens to Monte Carlo Regent: trips w/in...

This is the replacement to the above: . It is one day longer, all wait-listed, tho.

Oceania: trips w/insert: 8, total inserts: 61, total sql: 183.

Assorted fare increases.


Regent: trips w/insert: 3. total inserts: 39, total sql: 221.

Three new fares for new itineraries on Mariner.

I added new world cruise segments to Roll Call. They won't show up on Fare Compare because there is no fare data.

Symphony is still going through the Red Sea, and I image that buying that ship on the cheap has something to do with it.

Navigator cancelled: trip=8172 , trip=8604 . Grandeur not available: trip=8951 . Grandeur one day shorter with several changed ports: trip=8919 . (Siena is new to Roll Call, as well, and Regent spells it with two n's.) Regent: trips w/insert: 1, total inserts: 14, total sql: 256. The trip with the n...
