Place the thc it into a non toxic deflated🎈 balloon, tie correctly and swallow it prior to boarding onto the port, the rest you should figure it out on your own how to retrieve it...I'm old school😂😂😂 issues solved😂😂😂 Also like the Hispanic latino says, Lo barrato siempre sale caro= the cheap comes out expensive😂😂 that is when it comes to the excursions.

It been years since being on a cruise, this will be approx my sixth. I use to always bring a satellite phone on with me for communication and wi-fi, though bringing my younger children this time I will get the wi-fi package for them. On the Mardi Gras, will I have to book for the arcade, or small restaurants like seafood shack, Big Chicken❓I did hear you say the ultimate playground needs reservations. I am not a big drinker, but the bubble package for my children, I will be getting this package for them as they’ll be busy running and asking for all. And I’d like to say your info is very informative for many people. Thanks for this, I’ve been forwarding your videos to family members.

Honestly the food in the main dining room is awful. Steaks like shoe leather, a chicken breast the size of your fork tines.
