LHT28

Most people can tell the difference 🙄 Please stop giving Canadians a bad image ...we can do that ourselves 😄

The ship will be cleared the day before when you arrive in SJ I would confirm with Viking once on the ship if you want off at 6am or whatever will they be taking your luggage off or do you need to

Someone posted that they booked the private car tour for next year there was no discount but it was $1300+ out of their excursion credit Maybe port specific for those tours or they have decided not to offer the private cars now I guess we will have to wait and see

Yes Yes

That is a pretty short port stop but you could take a taxi to the Cathedral about 30 + mins away & have them stop at the falls on the return There are tours but it may not get you back to the ship by 1 pm

It all depends on what you are used to The lower cabins categories are fine for us & the w/c works that all that matters to us I like to sit outside on the deck weather permitting read or people watch so never an issue staying onboard we may get off & have a wander in the port if we have been there before just to get some walking in Enjoy

true but the iconic arch is gone see the photos in the link All depends on your interests

It is too bad they switched to doing while on the ship I guess they get less complaints that way People have better things to do on the last day & I prefer to take my time & go over the review If they sent a link to do it after the cruise (with a time limit of course) people could take time & think about the good the bad & improvements JMO

We just take our coffee outside on deck 5 just a short walk & more comfy loungers 😉 The OP sounded like there was NO Barristas in his statement I have not been on the Nautica or Sirena

Join your roll call maybe some will have private tours to share but if not do some research at the ports & see what really interests you most you can DIY if you know what you want to see/do Sadly the famous rocks at Hopewell have collapsed https://www.nbparks.ca/en/parks/33/hopewell-rocks-provincial-park

I'll play We have done 6 on Oceania Regatta followed by 4 on Marina 3 on Insignia see a pattern We like the little R ships We do not need all the bells & whistles of the big floating cities We just like the itineraries I guess the quiet of the smaller ships we like small unique ships as well so will take those over the mass market lines when we see one we like Music charters are a whole other world everyone is there for the same reason to have fun & see the performers on those itinerary is secondary Enjoy whatever cruise you chose

How do they define "LUXURY" ? I find that is more subjective All inclusive does not mean luxury to me but maybe to others it does We did a cruise on a LUXURY line the food was sometimes better than the Premium line but for the most part it was not drinks included but they did not make cocktails only Grasshopper or Pina Colada (bar tenders did not know how to make other kinds) You had wine beer& mixed drinks then it was OK put rum in a glass put coke in it they know how to do that Maybe CLIA could set down some guideline as the the branding of what is Luxury/Premium/Premium+ JMO

On some lines if the price drop you can get the new price or an OBC for the difference Many years ago the line would add the fuel upcharge when the oil prices went way up but have not seen the added fees in a long time It is still in most lines T & C incase they need to implement it You do not say what Country you are in in your profile other Countries outside of North America may have other rules on such things

also this to consider https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/international-travel/International-Travel-Country-Information-Pages/Colombia.html#/ Level 3 now so who knows by March At least you have time to make changes You are before final payment just cancel & book a cruise that leaves for Columbia RCCL Silversea & Explora Journeys have cruises embarking in Cartagena

taxi Uber ask the hotel if they have shuttle service

They do not have Barristas on the Nautica?? 😲

I do not think HAL has been in the Premium Category for many years The categories are given by cruise lines & TA's Fodors rates cruises but I disagree with some of their picks 😉 https://www.fodors.com/worlds-best/cruises

cannot say I noticed We have been in QC/Halifax/CB We will be in some Canadian ports in Oct will pay attention this time 😉

we have gone 3 times in the past but no YF REQUIRED some recommend the shot but best to contact your doctor to see if you would NEED one

So you mean for drinks onboard while in port?

You are overnighting in San Juan you should be able to disembark early If your flight is 8:15 you probably need to be there by 6:30am ?? the airport is 8 miles away If Viking is saying no flights before 8 then they must have some transfers for pax Once onboard go ask if they provide transfers to the airport & what time they will start?

You can sent your comments to Miami by snail mail

If you do not plan on enjoying any sights in Toronto sure an airport hotel would work just be sure they have restaurants in or nearby I would check ones downtown in the area bounded by Queen st W or E /King St W or E University Ave / Victoria St Maybe as far north as Dundas st W Royal York hotel is a good location but depends on your Budget

yeah try the bacon butties or a supersized McD meal 😃 none are healthy but do taste good
