Every now and then, we (Mr. Makarma) like to take the time to update you on some items which may not require a complete TravelBlog entry, but are important just the same......
The new Passport regulations we've discussed on a few occasions are still scheduled to take effect on June 1. There will still be a few instances where Passports won't be required, but they'll be few and far between. We've said it before (and we'll say it again)...if you plan to do any serious traveling, get a U.S. Passport.
The major cruise lines have confirmed that they'll return to their Mexico itineraries as of mid-June. One cruise line, Royal Caribbean International, has noted that their recent experience with the temporary Pacific Northwest cruise itinerary worked so well that they'll consider them again for regular cruises in the future. Bravo RCI!
New cruise ships will start service from Florida ports later this year. The ships, one from Carnival (a groundbreaking design), and another from Royal Caribbean (a design beyond groundbreaking) will sail from Port Canaveral and Fort Lauderdale, respectively. We'll have more information on the Carnival Dream and Oasis of the Seas in future TravelBlogs.
We plan to try Uni during our next visit to new top-secret sushi spot. Of course we're afraid but, when it comes to sushi, we laugh at danger.
