I really love my car, but it doesnt have cruise control nor a car starter. Would it be possible to install these two things (especially the cruise control) on my 2000 Hyundai Accent? It doesnt have an option for cruise control from the factory, as far as I know.
Have you added it to your 2000 Hyundai Accent? Around how much did it cost?
They can always be added if you so wish. I have added both as an after market without any problems.

I was just wondering if a cruise ship ticket covers the cost of everything on the cruise or if you have to pay extra for some things. Like, food, shows, massages, entertainment, clubs, booze, ect. Also, what is the legal drinking and gambling age on a cruise, do you have to be a certain age to go to the dance clubs on a cruise? If so what age? Thanks for your help!
Thanks for all the help so far! what about clubbing age on a cruse? 18, 21?
Included in the price of mass market cruise lines:
On board entertainment, dining room meals, Buffet meals, and room service menu. Iced tea, juice, milk, water. Hot tea and coffee in the dining room. Soft serve ice cream machines and the pizza bar.
Not included: soda, alchohol, Spa treatments, casino, specialty drinks and desserts, some gym classes, duty free shops
Gambling: in most cases, 18. Drinking: in most cases: 21. some cruise lines allow those younger to drink with signed permission from their parents(but parents must be on board with you)
if you are unmarried, you must be at least 21 to book a cruise, and if anyone is under 21 in the group, someone 25 or older must be in the room as well.

So I’m trying to book a cruise for December, which I know may be a little far ahead of time but so far I’m just checking to see what’s out there.
So included in the cruise price is the room, accomodations, and meals, right? I know you have to pay for excursions and spa treatments and all of that. But does a cruise price include things like drinks (alcoholic or non), parking, etc?
I cruise quite a bit, usually 2 or 3 times a year and I also watch closely my budget and what I spend. So here’s my list of what charges to expect and how to control your spending.
Regardless of the cruise line the price of your cruise includes your cabin, all meals including breakfast, lunch dinner, snacks and free room service, free admissions to the disco, all shows and entertainment, and free kids programs, use of all facilities on ship like the pools, hot tubs, gym, and recreation activities. If you park at the cruise port lot there is a charge and its usually very high, like $15 to $20 per day depending upon which cruise port. The other things that you will have to pay for are:
GRATUITIES: They will amount to about $10 to $11.50 per person in your cabin per day, depending upon the cruise line. When you check in at the pier they will set up an on-board charge account for you to cover any and everything you may buy on ship. Everything on ship except the casino is cashless; everything you buy goes on your account.
ALCOHOLIC DRINKS AND SOFT DRINKS: Coffee, tea (hot and cold), milk, juice, and lemonade and punch will be provided FREE but you must pay for soft drinks and alcoholic beverages and they will add a 15 percent gratuity to each alcoholic drink and soft drink order. Drinks of cruise ships are generally in the range of $7 to $9 including the 15 percent gratuity that is included in each tab. Beer and wine are slightly less, maybe $6 to $7. The cruise line does sell a soft drink card that allow you unlimited soft drinks for the duration of your cruise. These you must buy the first day of the cruise and they generally cost about $6.00 a day for adults; $4.00 a day for kids. The cost of the soft drink card also goes on your on-board tab. But if you want you can take on board with you a six pack of soft drinks and/or bottle water to help cut your costs; take them in your carry-on bags. Also, if you buy drinks ask for them in a plain glass rather than the souvenir glasses because they cost about $1.50 more in the souvenir glass. Also, buy the daily drink special which is generally about $1.00 less than other drinks.
PHOTOGRAPHS: Cruise ship employees will take plenty of photographs of you all over the ship, in the dining room, and as you exit the ship in ports. These will cost a lot, like $15 to $25 for most and the cost of them goes on your on-board tab. Take your own photos and ask other passengers to take photos of you rather than buying the ship’s photos. Other passengers will always help you with this if you ask; or ask the wait staff also.
TOURS/EXCURSIONS: You are not required to book any tours and you can get off and on in the ports as much as you want. But the cruise line will offer a lot of tours and these are NOT included and are expensive.
SOUVENIRS: Anything you buy on ship from a gift shop or duty free shop goes on your on board account. Things that you buy on shore you pay cash or credit card for.
CASINO: If you plan to gamble on ship you will need cash for that.
OTHER: All ships have what they call "specialty" restaurants where there IS a gratuity/service charge of between about $5. and $25. All other food on board is free and its not really necessary to budget for food; you cannot eat all of the FREE FOOD that will be available so skip the specialty places.
SPA SERVICES: If you want/need to have your hair done, get a massage or wrap, or any services from the spa, you will have to pay for them. Spa fees start at about $70 to $80 and they go on your on-board tab if you use the spa services. You can use the gym free but the spa stuff cost big bucks.
INTERNET SVCS: Ships now have internet cafe and some have WiFi but the there is a fee for internet access and it is very expensive (like about $50 an hour). I always recommend that you skip the high priced internet on ship and wait for port stops where you can usually find an internet cafe where the charges are about $5. to $7 an hour. Just ask the cabin steward and/or your wait staff where the internet is at the port. They know because they use them when they can get off the ship.
ROOM SERVICE/MINI-BAR: You cabin will likely have a minibar with soft drinks and munchies; you have to pay for anything you take out of the mini-bar. But the room service (24/7) is always free.
These are the charges that you may have but the only one of these that is pretty much mandatory is the gratuities. All of the others are optional and completely under your control.

I just got back from a 5 day 4 night Royal Caribbean Cruise that went to the Bahamas. There were no single women my age. From what I understand it is better to go on week long trip to Mexico or the Southern Caribbean on a Carnival Cruise. Help me out. I want to go back on a cruise but one with less families and less teenagers. Be sure to list a cruise line and cruise route

If so, details please!! I am planning a cruise with my girlfriends, however, some of us are not able to travel until September. I’ve been reading about hurricane season and contemplating if we should still take the risk of going to the Caribbeans and Miami in September. This will be everyone’s first time on a cruise and to both destinations. Any information would help! Where to stay, go and party in Miami. What to do on cruise and on the islands.
Hi, we take our cruise every year in September, a couple of years ago I learned that those huge ship do have the ability to speed when the radar picked up Hurricane Opehelia. We did not experience anymore than a little rain and we arrived in Nassau ahead of schedule so we spent more time on the island that anticipated. It is great, we have rented motorcycles and road all day to the other side of the island. You didn’t say which islands you were going to Nassau has the best party life (if you are on the cruise that requires you to be back on the ship by 7:00a) jazz, reggea, hip-hop all kinds of clubs. There jet ski-ing and shopping in the straw market,
I go on the same cruise every year, buy some Dramil and take it before your flight if you feel like any one might get sea sickness. I don’t know because I always take it. The Disney has a night life and MGM does as well. I can’t remember where we went.

My fiance and I are suppose to be planning a cruise; but want to choose the best cruise-ship IF that is such a thing. I’m 25years old; but mature and he’s 31years of age. We both want to enjoy ourselves and are able to party together. The two of us are very active and need to keep busy; but at the same time a romantic scenery. What cruise-ship should I choose by experience.
Carnival is the party ship.
Royal Caribbean is the sports and activities ship.
Princess is the love boat.
I think if I were you I would take a Royal Caribbean cruise if I were you. It’s probably a good balance of everything. Just make sure you choose a good ship because not all of them have the mini golf, rock climbing wall, ice skating, etc.

I am looking for people who have been on this cruise. What did you like and dislike about it? We are going on the Carnival Destiny on friday for a 7 day cruise. Do you have any advice?
I love cruises. what i like about them is that besides being affordable the destination is beautiful. The water in the caribbean is so blue and the beaches are gorgeous. The workers at Carnival are all nice and you are pampered 24/7. They help you forget about work, cleaning, cooking, everything. My advice is to get ready to have lots of fun, don’t overpack, and don’t forget your camera to take pics of those special moments

As Jonathan Coulton wrote in his blog when he first released this song, there’s something kind of sad about people who succeed so completely at becoming rich and famous that they stop existing on the same planet as the rest of us and start living in some other universe altogether. This song pokes fun at Tom Cruise for losing it puclicly like he did, but it also seems to pity him a bit as well. Tom may be nuts, but he does make good action films, and it’s not pleasant to see anyone go off the deep end like that.
Special thanks to my Co-Creative Director on this video, Nick Bayhi. Nick came up with most of the clever movie titles on the posters, as well as the idea for the video’s ending. As Nick put it, “if he’s so crazy and narcissistic, he should just marry himself”. Genius!
(Note to Tom Cruise, if he’s watching this — hey Tom, we’re just having fun playing with the stereotypes here. Nothing personal. No reason to get upset or sue anyone, right? So, you and me, we’re still cool? Call me. 
The song at the end of the video is “Over There”, another great Jonathan Coulton song.
