    Why not just show up when you're ready to show up...worst case you wait for a little while.  Better than sitting in a hotel room twiddling your thumbs and wishing you could get there already!  Chances are they will let you check in early anyway!

    You Win! This is the Best answer.

  2.                     There will be a German Transportation Strike Monday March 27.  They shut down several German airports last Friday, and this Monday they will include Frankfurt.

    That was the day of our connection thru Frankfurt.

    Viking River Cruises had us booked with Lufthansa. Viking had a warning on their website , but nothing else.  

    I went to the Lufthansa site and BINGO they offered 8 or 10 replacement itinerarys to avoid Frankfurt and with just a few clicks We were confirmed flying there with a connecting in Vienna.

    Would the British Colonial Hilton be open in June 2024 . - - - - I doubt it, it was purchased by another company, maybe margaritaville? Right now they are letting folks use the beach and restrooms for a price before they renovate.

    I would say YES, I just watched a you tube video that was dated Feb 2023. An official said work is underway and hope for a part opening by summer 2023 and full open by winter 2023.

  4. The statue is called Cristo Redentor (Christ the Redeemer)

    The mountain is Pao de Acucar (Sugar Loaf)

    The CAIPIRINHA is made with Cachaca,  Real  Lime,  sugar (NO SYRUPE, PLEASE) , and ice.  You can add Kiwii, strawberries, after. If you want. (BUT ALWAYS  MADE WITH LIME). It  also can be made with VODKA, called CAIPIROSCA.

     

  5. The Best location is between the swim up bar and the DJ booth.

    We are over 65 , and were on a 8 day HarmonyOTS and shared Co Co with 3 day FreedomOTS out of Miami.

    Those young people brought a party to the pool like you wouldn't believe.

    We hung with the young crowd dancing in the pool for quite a while , before retreating to a quiet beach to catch our breath.

    It made us feel young , if only for a few hours.
