Container Port Group Quotes

Every human creature is a terror to every other human creature. Human minds are like unknown planets, encountering and colliding. Every one of them contains jagged precipices, splintered rock-peaks, ghastly crevasses, smouldering volcanoes, scorched and scorching deserts, blistering sands, evil dungeons from behind whose barred windows mad and terrible faces peer out. Every pair of human eyes is a custom-house gate into a completely foreign port; a port whose palaces and slums, whose insane asylums and hospitals, whose market-places and sacred shrines represent the terrifying and the menacing as well as the promising and the pleasure-giving! But when once any small group of persons has been together for any reasonable length of time the official warders of these custom-house gates are withdrawn. Each individual in such a group feels he can wander freely through the purlieus of these other enclosed fortresses! He does not necessarily move a step. The point is that the gates into the unknown streets no longer bristle with bayonets, are no longer thronged with “dreadful faces” and “fiery arms.

Andrea is coming to pick me up in about thirty minutes to head to her folks' house for Thanksgiving. I've got buttery yeast rolls from Aimee's mom's old family recipe, my cranberry sauce with port and dried cherries, and a batch of spicy molasses cookies sandwiched with vanilla mascarpone frosting. I also have the makings for dried shisito peppers, which I will make there. Andrea's mom, Jasmin, is making turkey and ham, and braised broccoli and an apple pie, Andrea is doing a potato and celery root mash and a hilarious Jell-O mold that contains orange sherbet and canned mandarin oranges and mini marshmallows, and her dad, Gene, is making his mother's candied yams and sausage corn bread stuffing. Benji is cooking and serving most of the day at the group home where he grew up, and will come join us for dessert, bringing his chocolate pecan pie with bourbon whipped cream.

Overview of Carnival Cruise Line’s Age Policy Carnival Cruise Line welcomes families, solo travelers, and groups of all ages. However, to maintain safety and comply with maritime laws, it enforces strict guidelines on who can sail, drink, and travel independently. At a glance, here’s what you need to know about the Carnival age policy: Infants must be at least 6 months old to sail. On certain longer or transoceanic cruises, infants must be 12 months old. Guests under 21 years of age must travel with a relative or guardian who is at least 25 years old. The minimum age to drink alcohol on board is 21 years (in most regions). Guests must be 18 years old to enter the casino or spa alone. 2. Carnival Cruise Minimum Age Requirement The minimum age to sail with Carnival depends on the cruise itinerary. For most cruises, infants must be at least 6 months old on the day of embarkation. For transatlantic, transpacific, Hawaii, and South America cruises, the minimum age increases to 12 months due to longer sea days and limited medical facilities. This policy ensures that Carnival can provide safe care for all passengers, especially on voyages with extended periods away from port. 3. Age Rules for Minors (Under 21 Years) Carnival considers anyone under 21 years of age a minor. These guests cannot travel alone and must be accompanied by an adult meeting specific age criteria. a. Traveling With a Guardian or Relative Guests under 21 must be booked in the same stateroom with an adult who is at least 25 years old. The accompanying adult must assume full responsibility for the minor throughout the cruise. b. Exceptions for Married Couples or Military Guests Married couples under 21 can sail together if they provide proof of marriage. Active-duty members of the U.S. military aged 18–20 may travel alone with valid military ID and documentation. c. Rooming Policies for Families Families with multiple cabins can book minors in adjacent or connecting rooms, provided one cabin contains the guardian (25+ years old). 4. Carnival Cruise Line Rules for Infants and Toddlers Carnival is family-friendly and provides special accommodations for young children, but there are clear age-based requirements for infants and toddlers. a. Minimum Age As mentioned, infants must be: 6 months old for standard cruises. 12 months old for transoceanic or long itineraries. b.
