Are you feeling okay? You'd like the cruise through the Inside Passage from Alaska to Vancouver. The scenery was stunning and it was cold :smile: Cold water, Gabriele???? Are you feeling okay?

And tipping is voluntary - if the service sucks, you don't need to tip, else the average is about 10% of the bill. I want to win the lottery, too. I love ships and one of my dreams is the Norvegian posthisp cruise all the way up to the northern end. :grin: I prefer the water cold, though, so Hawaii won't be on my list.

I have never been west of well where I live and that's pretty far east. I would love to see the Pacific and Haiwaii one day. Glad you're back. Wow, glad you had a great time!

I promise :grin: We have tax but it's part of the ticket price. I've been thinking about this and have decided the adding on at the checkout is probably because every State has a different tax. It would be a nightmare trying to ship goods from one state to another which might have a different amount of tax. Does Canada have tipping, Christine? I can't remember since it was a few years ago when I was last there. The photos are coming, Tempest. I promise

I do hate feeling obligated to tip if the person hasn't earned it. In fact, I won't if they haven't done a good job. Now I want to go to Hawaii!

You paid for the article and that was that. But in the last months the government decided to impose the whole sales tax thingy. Oh boy... what a pain in the arse! Sounds like you enjoyed your Hawaiian vacations! But where are the pics? *wg* Here in Puerto Rico it used to be like that. You paid for the article and that was that.
