- Given the cost of a CT Scanner / CT scan...that doesn't seem that cost-effective. -- nm - Will Hunting Jul 20, 19:17 3

  - Once I'm booked I do everything through the cruise line website. Booking shore excursions, ordering supplies(water, soda, etc.) internet, etc. -- nm - Meg Jul 20, 13:20 1
    - Correct. We use Royal Caribbean. Once booked, everything is handled through the app. -- nm - Strongbad Jul 20, 13:57
If you like the Mitch Rapp (Vince Flynn series), looks like the entire series is $2.99 a book today on Kindle at Amazon. -- nm - Will Hunting Jul 20, 12:33 1
