Jim, as it is a back to back with Cape Town to Dubai we will use the same acronym. I added this sailing later. This trip goes to India where the PEACOCK is the National Bird so very appropriate. I will as Cindy to update her lists accordingly.

Question:

Jan and I will be on the 3-day pre-cruise in Dubai.
We always our own booze "emergency" kit with us just in case we would like to have something in our hotel room while traveling before getting on the ship.
So should we maybe think twice before packing something in our luggage when we arrive Dubai?
Anyone experience this? wonder

Jim, you are only allowed four liters so you may have to cut back on your emergency kit.

Oh that is no problem. Where Dubai is alcohol free country is what I was worried about.

Jim, I believe that’s four liters (i.e., five 750 ml bottles) per person. as you will discover, Dubai is far from alcohol free.

Started to fill out our excursion list last night at 6:05 pm.
Things were going well for awhile and was about 1/2 way through when things went south.
Had wrong dates, said I could not book because it conflicted with booked excursions, and what I had booked disappeared.
Sent a email to Nancy Golden and she immediately told me to send her my selection, and she would take care of it Friday morning.
1st thing this morning was the email from her with all of our choices. And she was home doing all this because the office is closed.
clap friends

Thank you Nancy!!!! thumbsup

By the way. Someone on cruise critic commented they had the same problems

Received notice of final payment coming soon from Jennifer.
Also noticed at one of our overnight stops we have the same tour booked both days. Tried to cancel one on line with no luck.
Guess we will wait until we board to take care of it. Probably won't be able to find a replacement this late.

Did everyone receive their notice about making sure you have your visas?

Does anyone know what this photo bucket thing is? How do I get rid of it!!!!??

Jim, it looks like you were using photobucket.com to store your profile picture for use as an avatar on the LCT website. I noticed that Ngaire and others also must have been using Photobucket to store their profile pictures because their profile pictures have been replaced with the message fromPhotobucket. For some reason, the URL to Photobucket is no longer valid. I don't remember but do you have your profile picture in your signature? If so, that would explain why you are seeing the message from Photobucket in your signature now.

If I'm correct, choosing a different avatar in the "edit profile" section should get rid of the Photobucket message.

Very strange, Jim. Out of curiosity, did you experiment with trying a different avatar to see if it made the Photobucket message go away?

Jim, I see that changing your avatar got rid of the Photobucket message that was showing in lieu of your profile picture. I would try something similar with respect to your signature showing the Photobucket message. Try going into your account and completely deleting your signature; then replacing it with a new signature using only text. Hopefully this will remove the Photobucket message.

Finally, although it's not an ideal solution, you can always go into preferences and choose to not display signatures.

Got a hold of Karen and she is aware of this.
Have no idea how we are going to remove it, but working on it.
