Levi is good

Are the showers open to everyone officially, or are they technically only for spa patrons? I know some areas are open to all, some aren't...

Could someone please comment on the vehicles that are used by this company in Italy? I want to sign up with them for multiple shore excursions but I'm afraid we will feel cramped for the drives to the various locations, especially Rome from Civitavecchia.

Absolutely. Will do. I'd forgotten about the Google flight tracker.

That explains a lot. 😳 Thank you.

Azulann that is an interesting idea, so you would use Delta for the transatlantic portion, use a different airline within your travels, then return to your point of origin for return trip with Delta?

Gardyloo that's fascinating about the buckets. It makes sense, why would you give away the most desirable product immediately. Domestically in the United States I tend to fly Southwest, and it seems that with those fares as quickly as I can buy them is the best option usually. You aren't kidding about an advanced degree from Hogwarts, this is awfully puzzling to try to figure out.

Ashland, I'm going to start looking before bedtime, or if I can't sleep in the middle of the night. It might end up keeping me awake, lol, but that's interesting to note the pricing at different times. I've been waiting for the fares to open, thinking I'd sneak in some great deal, so I was kind of surprised to see how expensive it was comparatively. But again I'm a complete novice at booking international. Thank you.

Thank you Hank. It definitely played a role in the timing we've chosen, when our vouchers will expire.

Thank you Flyertalker, this makes a lot of sense. I wonder with some of the recent cancellations and whatnot if that premium might come down.

Thanks MSUjohn, that's pretty much why we went with Delta, I didn't realize how much extra we'd be paying though.

I am not a new traveler in general but I'm VERY new to booking international flights. We're heading to Barcelona to catch a cruise next May, and bizarrely, Delta is about $500 higher than other airlines for this flight. We need it to be Delta as we have leftover credit from a previously cancelled flight. We must be in economy/main, whichever the "lowest" fare is on a particular flight to allow pre-selecting seating. Family of four, all adults. I was just wondering if anyone knew why Delta would be so far out of range price wise, especially this far ahead. One of the reasons I selected them for the first flight I booked (for a cancelled trip, which is why we have leftover credit) was the price/flexibility combination. Thank you.

According to what I'm seeing you can enter Spain with a negative test if your last shot is older than 270. https://www.msn.com/en-gb/travel/news/spain-travel-rules-what-are-the-latest-restrictions-for-holidaymakers/ar-AAZkaBF

Thank you Biker19, pcur, smokeybandit, and Ourusualbeach. Unfortunately it was a Royal agent who told me I had to contact the travel agency to get my FCC! I am so confused... most of the trip was even paid for with credit card reward points that had nothing to do with the travel agent at all.

I booked a cruise with a travel agency. We cancelled it, under cruise with confidence. I was told today by RC that all our FCC from that cancellation went to the travel agent. Do i have to use them again, I was very unhappy with the experience and want to book on my own from now on. Thanks to anyone who can help.
