happy cruzer

Not sure that many travel insurance policies will cover this event. I just read the credit card travel policy that we use and it does not cover this event except for trip delay. This problem is the fault of the airline and travel policies are not insuring airlines in most cases.

Will the OSL-xHEL-PRG Finnair business class ticket allow acces to the Helsinki Finnair Lounge? I read the following rule and got confused. Thanks. Oneworld lounge access rule states: Connecting between oneworld marketed and operated flights: First and Business Class customers connecting on the same day of travel, or before 06:00am the following day, can access the lounge when travelling between an international long haul (a oneworld international long haul flight is defined as an international flight marketed and operated by any oneworld carrier with a scheduled flight time longer than 5 hours) and an international short haul or domestic flight (and vice-versa).

Our experience on American Airlines was that we got a refund for the fare difference due to no crew available to work the flight after a major weather event the previous day. So what air line and what reason matters.

Well, the questionnaire was not aimed at Covid originally. Any contagious condition, I think flu (maybe Bird Flu) and noro. Wonder if the cruise lines bring it back based on whatever disease is happening at the time.

Does Carnival still have the health questionnaire? If you answer it honestly that you have symptoms and they deny you boarding, then they probably reimburse you the cruise costs (not any of the other costs that your have like flights or hotels). At least that was how it worked years ago. It would be up to their med staff's decision.

Thanks for the first hand report. We do have a one bedroom suite booked. And now we know what to expect regarding parking in our area the very most expensive parking is about $20 per day. It is very helpful to have everyone's advice. Thanks!

We made a booking for El Cordova in Coronado. Is there street parking in the area? The hotel mentions a private parking for $40/day. We may decide to rent a car for part of the stay. Thanks to all you experts!

We drink mainly wine and we do not like the limited wine by the glass offerings on either package. So we take whatever is included in our booking, then carry on and purchase bottles as we go. Every one has a different view of the value of the packages.

Also the buffet on the Radiance was not good. Limited choices and crowded service area. And as noted the smoking policy vs. Celebrity. Not a ship I would pick if another option was available.

Thank you so much we have been looking at Coronado and La Jolla. We like to walk on the beach more than swimming in a pool. We prefer museums/gardens to resort/spa amenities. Smaller hotels to larger ones. We typically tour for 4 to 6 hours then one nice meal for the day and just enjoy the beauty of California.

Any advice for one week in San Diego at thanksgiving? Would you stay in San Diego or maybe near the beach like La Jolla? We will have a rent car. Thanks.

It just sunk in about the Schengen countries. We hold US passports. If we fly BOS to OSL via Keflavik, we will do customs in Kefalvik? then all the other countries (Norway, Finland, Czechia, Austria, Hungary, and Spain ) are Schengen so no more customs until we re-enter the US? Also no ESTA or visas needed? Thanks again.

Thanks. I am starting to get it. We'll be lounging in Europe 😉

Thank you to all for information. I have bought one ticket i.e. RTW in business class. Does that matter? I am confused between ticket and trip?

Totally off topic, but really did not want to start a new thread with such a dumb question: Never been in any of the airport lounges. But I will have business class tickets purchased through AA and no advantage status. We usually get to the airport 3 to 2 hours before a flight just because 🙂 Could we visit the lounge pre flight for food and/or beverages? This would be in August, Finnair Oslo, Finnair Helsinki, IB Budapest, AA MAD then later AA DFW and AA (CUN) General and/or specific advice appreciated. And yes I will use FlyerTalk, etc. once I get smart enough to look for specifics.
