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.

My 2 cents. You can stress about it, or Just do it and forget about it. I know what I would do

1st sea day is in the seaway 2nd is in the Atlantic ocean.

I keep the proxy voter card they send. I have used it twice to get carnival OBC on hal.

I think the port can only handle one ship at a time. Since big ships can't make it , should be easy. I would say the bigger issue is getting to the port. A lot of construction and traffic

I just sent my request via Purolator today The website says 20 working days My next trip is may 2024, I expect to get it back in Jan 2024. I mailed to Gatineau office, all my passports usually get issued from there. Will be happy if I get the " old stock "

I was on Zaandam June 2023, got my tile. I guess I was looking

I was on a transatlantic many years ago on royal They needed balcony cabins and started sending out offers Thanks to cruise critics and the roll call, people knew what the offers they were making My friend finally gave in 48 hours before sailing If I remember, they moved her to an inside family suite, she was sailing for free, and she got OBC Win / win

Worst case, should be room at the airport

I just did and got crew appreciation for free Which I didn't have when I booked couple of weeks ago That works for me
