how far in advance of cruising do you need to request a shareholder onboard credit ?

thanks in advance for your responses.

thanks everyone for your responses.

Does TSA / Pre-Check work when you are flying within Canada ?

Thanks FBGD

Thanks everyone for your replies. Every bit of information helps.

Greetings everyone.

Going to be in Canada about 5 or 6 days total on Canada-New England cruise. Any advice on the cell and data service will be greatly appreciated. Should I get the "international plan " for those days or just wing it ? I am thinking about the time off the ship, reaching uber, taxi's ect...

Thanks in advance for your replies.

Are there other cabins available than the one's they show you when booking online ?

Seems like I only ever see the least desirable locations available when trying to book online.

All advice is welcome . Thanks in advance.

are there any bits of advice for returning to the East Coast of US from Vancouver on a Saturday after debarkation ???? the flights look few and far between and clearing US Customs prior to security needs to be factored into the puzzle.

Thanks in advance for your replies

Aloha Big Al,

You may wish to check American. They have a flight from FLL- HNL that makes 1 connection in DFW. The first leg (not that far)

is a 737. The second leg, (the long one) is a 777. it departs FLL at 7:40 am arrives in HNL at 2:23 pm. your layover time is 1hr 20 mins. I hope it works for you.

We did this cruise in Sept. of 2016 and we really enjoyed it.

Have a great anniversary.

Hi Everyone,

For Alaska cruisers with experience disembarking and departing from Vancouver Airport (YVR) would you tell me how difficult it would be to make a flight at 11:25 am on the day of disembarkation. ???

Thanks in advance for your replies.

if you can go first class. you are a big man and you will appreciate the larger space. you will also get a baggage allowance, usually 2 bags + a carry on. when cruising there is usually considerable baggage to bring along not to mention any thing you buy , souvenirs ect....hope you have a great cruise.

thanks everyone. i appreciate the feedback

Good day all. Can anyone tell me if the pool on the Zuiderdam is heated ? We will be cruising on her in late September on the Canada / New England route.

Thank you for your very well written and informative review.

Glad this got resolved for you Sharon. Have a great cruise.

Thanks Iancal,

I took your advice and booked flight from Montreal to Quebec City on Sept.23.

I appreciate your response.

Thanks everyone for the information.

thanks Dave

HI All,

We are arriving in Montreal on Sept. 22 (staying 1 night in Montreal ) and have booked the Holland America Cruise Transfer to Quebec City on Sept.23.

Which is the port of embarkation for our cruise. Does anyone know the procedure and time to meet up with the Holland America Transfer at YUL (Montreal Airport) to Quebec City on Sept. 23. ??? Any and all advice will be appreciated.

depends on your personal interests. both fun cruises. if the included unlimited bar package is a priority to you go with the sky, a calmer cruise would be found on the enchantment of the seas, adult pool area , ect .....

have done both , enjoyed both. good luck.

As of today, the POA forum is working again , 10-06-16.

Thanks for all your help Linda

I am very much enjoying your review, please keep it coming, it takes time , do not worry, most things worthwhile do.

There has been no POA sub forum for quite awhile, does anyone know what the issue is ???

Will be on the Oct 8th cruise. Are there porters at the cruise terminal?

Yes there are porters when you arrive in honolulu.
