Unless you purchase one at a magic shop or are in a movie, very few tophats are collapsible.

That explains it since I believe in no gods.

I would pick the third choice - a different sailing.

That's my problem as well, so I actually avoid the packages for health reasons. Water is free to anyone as long as you don't insist on bottles.

The only purpose in "making them b2b" is for the small discount. Most cruise agents have never heard of the PVSA. They need to update their automated systems to act in real-time instead of batch mode.

Same vessel is not a requirement to violate the PVSA. It's same carrier - in this case Celebrity - so you couldn't take another Celebrity ship either. You can get around it by adding an overnight in Vancouver or switching cruise lines.

Don't rely on what they've posted on their website. Hotel refund and cancellation policies are very clear as well, but I have received a full refund when an airline strike prevented us from traveling.

Tuscan has deteriorated so much over the years that we will no longer eat there even when it's included.

For a cruise departing either Tokyo or Yokohama, I would stay in Shinagawa. It's a wonderful area, right across from the Tokyo Terminal, and a short train ride to Yokohama.

Yes.

I know that most, if not all, of the North American brands are. They do not want to see any paper - only your QR code in the app or sometimes just your passport.

We have two each of Red and Gold, Black and White, Roaring Twenties, and Masquerade on our upcoming 28-day sojourn. Most of them are easy for me, but I still have to figure out what to wear for Red and Gold. I have a red shirt that might go with my white tails and a red bowtie, but no gold at all. I do wish it was easier to transport a hat - I took one of my tophats on a QE Transpacific, but it was not easy.

We're doing that in June/July. It's two 9-day cruises back-to-back. In addition to the Japan ports, one makes a couple of stops in Taiwan, and the other has one stop in Korea.

Bottled water is not really fresh water (and is also wasteful). Fresh water is delivered every day to your washroom sink.

I have never understood the allure of caviar. We had unlimited free caviar on Silversea as well. Had it once and that was enough.

Old thread, but I didn't want to start a new one. The Cunard FAQ (https://my.cunard.com/en-us/mycruise/QV/internetListing) states "If you wish to connect multiple devices to the Guest Wi-Fi simultaneously, you will need to purchase an internet plan for each additional device. Internet plans for additional devices are discounted." Does anyone know what the discount is?

Same here - and same cruise! On a cruise last year, we missed a couple of ports while running from Hurricane Juan and sheltered in Boston Harbour to wait it out. We only expected to get port fees and taxes back, but I believe we got 25% of our cruise fare (or maybe more) as FCC on that one.

We usually get one holder. The only time we got two was on the Xpedition. Totes are about 50/50 these days for us.

We had a later flight out, so we booked the Everglades airboat excursion with MIA dropoff.

Please do not sully the Pixar name by comparing it to LPC's amateurish attempt.

The one time we did it, we found the show to be so-so, but the food was excellent.

We've never received one.

We never use the Solarium and avoid walking through it because it's like a crowded steam room. So let the kids use it!

I don't know what the uproar is all about. We used this "new" terminal in 2021 and it was just fine.
