The hop on hop off in Halifax is the only city I know that the charge only through the ship. I asked a few times and they do not have a price in cad that is lower

I always ask the cabin steward before I touch anything

Remember that if you do it on your own, you pay in cad ( 30 pourcent discount right there ). . The museum is about a 10 min walk Admission is about $15 cad per person . Sorry, don't remember where graveyard is, but remember I walk there, no issue

Some of us have the added cost of exchange rate oufff

I love our " funny money". It will be weird when we start seeing king Charles on some bills. That, I am not ready for :((

I just did it today actually, super easy online

A started bringing a collapsible laundry basket. I love it

I think that if it is the base tip, then yes, it needs to be in USD. If it is extra, and you are worried Ask the crew member I am sure they will take the cad Worst case, they can ask another Canadian pax to help them out

Very nice Can't believe you have been on board almost 1 month already

2 weeks tomorrow and my old passeport was returned to me today ( voided). So new one should be right behind

We all have to be a little more paranoid about safety. ( Even at home) When I travel, I have a money belt under my Fanny pack Always keep a few dollars in there as decoy. If the thief's get that, it is ok with me. On a shore ex in Florence , we had to go through a metal detector to go into a museum I was freaking out. I enlisted the help of the other members to ensure somebody that had cleared ahead would grap my stuff Rick Steves has great advice on staying safe in Europe

Icon is officially on my bucket list ( in 5 years ) when the prices come down In the meantime, I can now finally do oasis class ( which I have yet to do )

Thank you I missed the tourists when the border was closed. Always love going to old Montreal / port area and seeing the city through the eyes of visitors.

Good morning from snowy Montreal I was looking at the next week schedule and notice you are crossing the international date line 3 times Curious how the ship will handle this Will you stay on " ship date" for the first two Also . Crossing the equator soon All " bucket list" milestones Enjoy Ps . Love the pics of Hawaii while I was digging out 20 cm of snow Which was then rained on and started to melt Perfect for snowmen, but not so much for backs Expecting another 30 cm this weekend

Shore ex should be " on duty " every port day until the tours leave. It is the peak period of their job

Times are changing and there are more " just me" mentality. When you wait. You teach people to be late. Also, the 2 times does not help Meeting time should be the only one " published". Most reasonable people will target to arrive 10 to 15 min before the meeting time The people that are always late, they look at the departure time They also think their time is too precious to waste 15 min by arriving at the " meeting time". . Same is true with "all aboard" time. This is the only time that should be published. Departure time should be " internal". As it is of no concern to pax

Agreed, this program is not a fit for every personality. The lessons learned are good to help us figure if this program is right for you. Also, you have to plan everything as if you were going, And then be disappointed if you are not I planning a cruise in 48 hours, that would stress me out

I think if everybody took the same precautions independent of the illness, we would all be in a better place. If I am sick, I self isolate.

Take just dropped off my passeport renewal form at a service Canada office Great option Super friendly Took less then 1 hr They say current delay is about 1 month I should get it back around Feb 10th Definitely, this is my new method. Strongly recommend it

I see the 50% off happy hour is available for pre dinner drinks in ocean bar. We did this every night on the Zaandam in June. Glad we can do it again this year

,i know At least I have plenty of time as my trip is only in may Just hate the extra step that could have been avoided My niece sent me a link to make an appointment in person Will be going on Jan 5 th in person

Thank you for taking us along I live in Montreal and am booked on May 4 the, si this is an amazing way to build excitement . Ps. Love the font

I need to vent. My doc's were just returned to me I had an error in my credit card number Why do they ask for a phone no if they can't be bothered to call. Whole thing could have been resolved in 5 min. Took them more time ( and extra expense,) to return everything to me Seriously. I am not a happy camper

Any OBC left at the end, have them transfer to the crew fund :))

Note that cabs in Montreal is fixed only for certain routes. Uber can be an expensive gamble with construction in Montreal I would go with the cab option Funny that hal is also going cab option vs bus.
