About time !!

Yes. It’s all sorted on MVJ now.

We will miss you by a month 🥲We’re on the March sailing.

Yet another example of American “English”. Calling seizures fits is not a derogatory term in UK. I’m sure no offence was intended.

I was really replying to the poster who has cancelled the cruise in case they find dogs on board. You are absolutely right that bad owners bringing pets on board should be stopped. That’s why I said ‘proper service dogs’.

You can’t avoid ‘official’ service dogs on any cruise line you book. They have a right to travel. So no more cruises for you . I have cruised for years and have never met a dog on board, except for Karine Hagen’s on the Chairmans cruise and they were kept well away from everyone sadly, as I wanted to meet them.

I am really intrigued as to how they are getting their dogs home from Spain? I live in the UK and we used to take our dog out to Spain with us when we had a holiday home out there. It’s a palaver getting your dog home again. Vet checks , paperwork etc. Surely they’re not flying them home? We used to take our dog out 24hrs on Santander Ferry. Dedicated dog cabin and excercise area. Not allowed to roam the Ship obviously. 24 hrs was enough for me (and my dog ) . I think it’s cruel taking a dog on a TA voyage.

In 2021 we had turn around day in Malta when we did two back to back cruises. There was no excursion offered on MVJ but a couple of days before the turn around day Viking offered us a tour FOC which was excellent . No idea whether it’s different during Covid times as it was then and we were not allowed to do independent exploration .
