  1. Back in 19 we used them, Right now we are on the Mars getting ready to do the same again. Tonight we have the labels ready and tomorrow we will place them on the luggage. The bags go outside our door, just like normal, and that's it. The next time you see them will be back home. Easy yes, Is it a bit of of cost, sure,,
  2. Looks like the sold out ones are $3,600 USD. Highly recommend it.
  3. It is a decent flight up and back. Long day.
  4. We are on 55 plan. With two additional iPads and extra Netflix.
  5. We have been blessed to do this cruise twice. Both times, while in Ushuaia, we used this company. Both times I will say were Lifetime moments. Absolutely an outstanding tour. You get on to a private island. Penguins all around you. Sort of Wild Kingdom moment. Second time we went with friends. One was not as mobile yet made the journey. If they still have the tour, I would highly recommend them. https://piratour.net We have zero interest with them. They are just off the dock, along with many others. They still have a presence so I expect they are still there. If you can, do it

  7. Thank you... Oh the phone must be unlocked? Or locked phone is OK, As in an iPhone 13 and above I am asking to.
  8. Hi, We have had our grandchildren on 8 cruises now, 1 more booked. We enjoyed our time with them.Not once did we thing OMG Bubbles needed. That all started at age 3,4. So yea, your comments back are to I not worth the change,,, Peace,, Pollute all you wish,, Have a detergent sea,,, 🙂. Always the love...
  9. People will do what they wish. Go for it. If I get one on my balcony I sure will make an issue with Hotel Management. Promise is a promise. Keep it home. Period...
  10. Seriously, That is a stupid idea. Flame me all you wish. We all want clean oceans to enjoy. Simplly leaving it as you found it is a great way to travel. No?
  11. IF Viking still docks in Old Town, The Sheraton is across the street. As in walk out the side door (Front door is on side st) and about 200' away is the ship. I think the ship is longer than the walk to. Last time we were at the Sheraton was early 19 just before C. It is also walking distance to Old Town. It is an uber convenient for location for sure. Note, then the hotel was a bit old. Clean for sure just older. Nothing to rave about. However if you want to wake up and look out your window to see your cabin almost in front of you then the Sheraton may be a great choice. The Hyatt House is a really nice new hotel . We were there a couple of months back. The RCL ship was docked over there, away from Old Town. We wanted to be closer to ship than town. Make sense?
  12. Biggest "challenge" is your luggage. What to do with it the day of your flight. My Q to you is why do you have to leave the ship the day earlier? They used to dock in town, has that changed? We loved HK, alas that was 9 years ago so my info is now out dated.
  13. We've done both. One was a Cruise ship tour, the second was private. The Grand Bazaar, Lots of memories. Think a USA shopping mall on steroids. Walk 5' and you're in the face of someone selling something from his wears. If that sounds bad, it is, and if you're aware it is one of the best times. If you can haggle with the stall vendors then you'll have a great time. For us we had to go back a second time. My partner first go round was taken back. Upon reflection she was upset at herself so that I re-booked for Istanbul. Second time was the charm. First time we prob spend 45 minutes in there. Second time a couple plus hours. If your into this then do it. As the others have stated, Hagia Sophia, The Blue Mosque, Topkapi Palace all are good. They are the history of Turkey. I would personally say the Palace is first, Blue Mosque second and Hage Sophia last on that list. Or, you can cross into Asia, and back with a taxi. That was also interesting. Istanbul is a great place, the people were the attraction after all. We were apprehensive at first. We now would go back if the offer came up. Good luck,
  14. Viking Star, Rome to Istanbul or flipped?
  15. Oh, We purchased our tickets, Walked one way, Ticket agent leaves her locked area to tell us OOPS wrong way. A Life moment
  16. We went way back when. We did the std items. Our memories? We had an Error at subway, Ticket agent ran after us to guide to proper location. 2. Vendor spoke zero English, BFF zero French yet they had a great discussion for 30 plus minutes. We did the STD stuff. What do you love? Do it, We are going back after 25 plus years and cannot wait.
  17. Maybe just us. At $25 bucks a day. Easy decision. Have you been on a competitor lately? Viking don't listen,,, Shhhhh
  18. Given nothing is what it was. I'll ask this q, During Pool time is there a live band playing? Solstice class ships to be specific. 🙂. Thanks
  19. For $50 USD use NCL Premium Air Services. They state you can choose airline, departure date, etc. https://www.ncl.com/freestyle-cruise/premium-air I have not used NCL's service so this is straight from them.
  20. We went 19 years between HAL cruise's. First was like being in an old folks home. Surprised at the current HAL model. If you want to have evening entertainment, be prepared. I am not a HAL only. Just a fan of what they are now offering. We've added them back.
  21. No one is truly "stuck". Plenty of other vendors who travel to the same locations. I understand what you mean.
  22. Been on Rotterdam BtB back in April of 22. Ship and crew are great. The following week we were on the Encore. Our first NCL cruise. As for HAL, The entertainment was solid. We enjoyed the music, ALL of it. BB Kings has a great vibe. Kept us out until the music stopped. No big broadway shows, which we did not worry about missing. HAL Food is cruise ship good to great. I'd skip the Italian restaurant, but that's more for location than the food. Ship is more for a couple crowd whereas Encore is Family all the way. No go-carts sort of ship. We had fun on both. I would positively say give HAL a try. Now, If what I am hearing is true. NCL is notifying upcoming passengers there is a change to room attendants coming to clean. I've heard they are now doing towels once a day and room cleaning once every other. That would be a game changer if true. Has anyone else heard this?
  23. Venice (Chioggia), Italy. Thats directly from Viking. Go enjoy. Venice, Murano, Burano all wonderful. St Marks Sq enjoy, however for coffee and a snack go further away for an affordable option.
  24. Where does that train end in the city of Paris?
