  1. Woodwind snorkeling is a must in Bonaire. I would book snorkeling 1st. And work the rest of the day around that
  2. We did b3b on adventure in June. 14 days total. My patience was wearing thin with each passing day I should have gone home after 10 days Issue, lack of staff with full capacity The crew does not enforce any rules which makes it worst. 10 pourcent of entitled people making the rest of us upset I decided I was not ready to cruise again for a while
  3. Carnival is great off season with longer cruises. You can't beat the value. I have done 11 day med with my 19 year old. It is so port intensive, we had to push ourselves to go to a 7pm comedy show. And then, we would be in bed by 9 PM and up at 6AM next day to do it all over again. If you are there to really visit the ports. No issue with any ship. As someone else said, it is a restaurant, a bed and a shower. Off topic, look at Rick steve app and book. A lot of free walking tours.
  4. I heard the same think in Barcelona. Couple getting out of cab I am so paranoid. When we stop at a rest area even at home. Somebody stays with the car at all times. Not worth the risk
  5. Same here. 30 cruises with a reusable bottle never had any problem
  6. I agree about Rome in limo. Best value. Booked them in all my Italian ports (twice)
  7. You have so many stops in Canada. You should be getting our Canadian currency. I understand when you visit a country for a few hours and may spent a few dollars. But you are probably spending 7 to 10 days here. Get cad.
  8. Agreed. In Montreal, USA dollars will be accepted. But no great exchange rate. You may be able to convert on the ship
  9. You have been more then patient. You can lead a horse to water. Personally, I would advise my son and niece of the requirement at least. Where the story goes from here is out of our hands
  10. Govt of Canada is slow on all requests these days. You can start the process but have a plan b Good catch on you. Hope your friend does not 'shoot the messenger" and blame you
  11. I believe you can submit 72 hrs before you board.
  12. FYI - The government now says testing will resume as of July 19 for fully vaccinated travelers arriving at the Vancouver, Calgary, Montreal and Toronto airports. .
  13. I look at the number of moving parts. My example is always A. Tullum from cozumel , take ship tour B. Walking tour in quebec city. Please, do on your own. Agreed, have had only 2 bad private tours. In over 100. One, the cc organizer was too plan. She gave the group a meeting time on the pier of 1hr earlier. Ex. She told us 9. But the guide and herself showed up at 10. As responsible people are 15 to 30 min early. That set the tone for the day. The 2nd. Was Berlin. We knew it was not going to be good when the guide started by saying this was his job to pay for university, he had just graduated and we were his last group. We were not late back. He rushed everything, drove way too fast. And were back 3 hrs earlier.
  14. If you were still on board guest services could have helped ID the family. I sure hope it was an honest mistake. As an event organizer for my company social club, you always have to be on the lookout for crashers. Times have changed ( entitlement))
  15. I am from Montreal, Canada Recently we did a b2b. NYC, Halifax , NYC, Bermuda, NYC, Halifax, NYC and then drive home . We did arrive can 3 times in 14 days When we came home, the border agent did have us explain . So he had the info from arrive can. It is not just for covid. It is easy and free. And you have plenty of time to submit.
  16. I am actually paying for my Adult daughter to add carnival shares to her portfolio. I bought my 100 shares in March 2020. Market is down on everything.
  17. Keep an eye out on luggage situation in yul. Also ensure that air Canada does not cancel your Ottawa mtl flight. You may want to consider a) driving to mtl be) travelling with no checked bag.
  18. I confirm, you need to submit a new arrive can for every segment of travel where you will be re entering Canada. . What is confusing is that due to the delay. You are sometimes already in Canada when you submit your request for re entry. . But, it is simple , fast and free to do.
  19. I was at tobacco beach earlier in June. Quiet a track from the ship Especially on weekends as there is no ferry to st georges. It was nice, but not worth the effort
  20. I usually leave the stateroom door open when we are definitely gone.
  21. I was on the same sailing. B3b June 4 to 14 We had 5.30 seating. Some days , they would try to open the dining room at 5 and tell us the day before to try to come early But we would see the huge lines when we left.
  22. I was on adventure for b3b ( June 4 th to 18,) I agree. I realize that I am not ready for these crowds . The last 4 day cruise, my patience was running low.
