Cruises And Hotel Bookings: Always Ask For A Free Upgrade PDF Print E-mail


Senior wanderers who speak up while checking in may save some money. If you’re a bit devious, casually mention that you or your companion is marking a 65th or other significant birthday. Your plea could also be that you’re celebrating your 40th wedding anniversary. You can also try the newlywed routine, but if you show wrinkles and grey hair, that ploy may not work.

If the cruise ship or hotel isn’t fully booked, the check-in clerk can usually opt to give you a free upgrade to a larger cabin or suite. It may also get you complimentary champagne or chocolates on your pillow on the first night. And just maybe a free buffet for two at the dining room. Your ploy may not work, but it’s always worth the attempt.

Scattering Ashes Of The Dead At Disney Parks PDF Print E-mail


Dying people often request cremation and sending their ashes to the ocean, Grand Canyon, favorite beach or religious site. One of the most popular is to do the memorial event at special places in Disney parks, such as Cinderella’s Castle, It’s A Small World and the Haunted Mansion.

Disney, advertised as the happiest place on Earth, doesn’t want those sad ceremonies to happen there, and officially forbids the memorial sessions. And when people smuggle the ashes into the park and the illegal event happens, Disney custodians are quick to vacuum up the ashes along with regular trash for disposal.

Therefore, when you take the family to Disney, even if the beloved, newly-deceased Uncle Joe has asked that his remains be scattered there, obey the rules. Maybe he’d be just as satisfied if you’d do it over the sappiest place on Earth, the Trump White House.

 
Senior Fliers: Beware Of Poopy Emotional Support Dogs PDF Print E-mail


In a recent airline incident, a passenger boarded and plopped into his assigned seat. Moments later he discovered he had sat on a stinky souvenir left behind by a dog. Until recently, the only uncaged animals allowed on flights were registered service dogs.

However, a new category was created for so-called emotional support animals to occupy airline seats with their emotionally (and often mentally) needy owners. To do it legally, all it takes is a certificate from a doctor or registration with the airline, whether the animal is canine, feline, feathered or whatever.

So, in future flights, before you settle down into your seat, be sure to check first whether it’s clean or the previous non-human occupant left behind a rancid reminder.
