  1. It is indeed in Norway. This circle is about 10 degrees south of Hammerfest.
  2. Got to admit I am stumped with this. I don't know where that is and I can't find it on Google either🤷‍♀️. Anyway here is another pic that is more iconic that should give it away:
  3. Not Iceland. Straight East and a few degrees north of Iceland. People like to mark crossing this point on the globe.
  4. Much further north. While I am sure there are Scottish contributions to the stone piles, this location is not in the UK.
  5. If you love cairns,you'll love this place😝. Guess this location where many feel the need to leave their mark:
  6. Any chance there is travel insurance that can cover the cost? A pity Australia doesn't have reciprocal health care agreement with Canada.
  7. Insulin cannot be obtained without a prescription in Australia. You can access a GP to get an Australian prescription, though you will have to pay for the visit, not sure if your travel insurance will cover it so that would be something to check in your terms and conditions. Here is some information from the Department Of Health: Travelling to or from Australia with medicines and medical devices And here is information from Diabetes Australia that might be useful: Visiting or Moving to Australia
  8. Scenery reminds me of Iceland so is it located in Iceland?
  9. I am a destination cruiser so saving up for that special cruise is my default. The ship experience is nice but for me it doesn't beat an interesting destination so I prefer cruising once in a while if it means affording a cruise that will give me something more than a general ship experience.
  10. Once you've dealt with an Egyptian vendor you'll find those HAL gatekeepers reasonable😂. They have become infamous for their aggressive sales tactics. Even a no thanks is an invitation and they will chase you all around the Pyramids trying to sell you a Sphinx statuette 😜. Still worth putting up with for those amazing archaeological sites. Have a wonderful trip👍.
  11. Close enough. City of Papeete, pretty foreshore, delicious food trucks😋 and amazing Sunday markets.
  12. Thx the spelling clue really helped😁. Next pic:
  13. It is not too difficult but IMO it is not somewhere you go out of your way to visit😂. First you fly into Ishigaki, take the ferry to Iriomote, the local bus (unless you fancy some exercise you can hire a bicycle) to Yubu Cafe and last hop on a water buffalo taxi to walk you across the sea to Yubu Island.
  14. My mum got listed once as Mr on a flight ticket. Didn't realise till she was printing the boarding pass. No one cared. Honorifics aren't listed on the passport so I think they only really care about passport details matching.
  15. I think you are taking it to another extreme and it feels like a bit of catastrophising. As Ldubs pointed out there are situations that have quantifiable difference. A South American cruise including Antarctica vs one excluding Antarctica is not only financially different but experientially different. People generally don't choose an Antarctica cruise on a whim. It is like buying a car and paying extra to have a sun roof installed. If you recieved the car sans sun roof I doubt you would accept that with the same attitude of I bought a car I received a car.
  16. And you believe that is reason enough to ignore valid complaints? Are you not worried that ignoring valid complaints could lead to the cruise industry mistreating the customer?
  17. I think we are at impasse here as to me this fear of frivolous complaints is irrational. Do you believe they are going to bring down the cruise industry? A valid complaint and frivolous complaint are two different things to me and I can't understand why someone would treat them the same🤷‍♀️.
  18. Personally I would rather the cruise companies take responsibility than credit card companies but with common sense you can easily draw the line on valid and frivolous. If you buy a product or service and don’t receive product or service you have always been entitled to a refund and paying a premium price for a premium product only to be given a cheaper downgraded version in any other industry would be considered a scam I would assume most countries have legislation against scams, so maybe instead of sweeping reforms we need to start treating cruises the same way we would treat any other tourism business.
  19. I think I am going to need further clarification. Reading that post it seems they are sorting frivolous and valid complaints so doesn't that show you can validate a legitimate claim without the fear of some complaints free for all? People who want to make frivolous claims are always going to exist, illegitimising a valid complaint is not going make entitled people feel less entitled and why should someone with a valid complaint be punished for frivolous complainers? That feels frivolous in of itself😂.
