    I'm not a single but we've befriended singles in the past. No need to just stick with other solo travelers. Trivia, excursions and shared tables are good for facilitating mingling. Many couples are not joined at the hip.

    Okay, so this is a token by the sounds of it. We lost something similar when we cancelled the 2021 WC, for obvious reasons.
  3. Wendy The Wanderer
    When did the deposit become non-refundable? Is that the full, usual deposit for such a cruise, or a more token amount?

    That's disappointing, don't remember this in the past. As for CR, there's no excuse for bad acoustic architecture--this should be integral to the design from the get-go.

    Thats disappointing, don't remember this in the past.

    Your photos and commentary are so amazing, I'm so grateful. Never got to Japan, always wanted to.
  7. Wendy The Wanderer
    Thanks for the great photos of Bangkok. Brings back fond memories.

    Mostly, I'm happy not to see the CD, as long as he does a good job.
  9. Wendy The Wanderer
    I would do that if you can. I assume you'd get a small credit for opting out of the air one way.

    We loved the Biltmore.
  11. Wendy The Wanderer
    Yes, you'll be fine Richard. David wore shoes like that for years.
  12. Wendy The Wanderer
    Perhaps if they ask well in advance, but in general, I would not count on it. NA wine, probably.

    Bring your own binoculars. Worth it to buy a new pair, trust me. We each had our own pair.

    Varies by region. French Polynesia is usually great from May to October. We were in Singapore and Thailand in February, great time of year.

    I found the specialty restaurants on Riviera all overdone and rather ersatz. And the MDR quite lacking compared to Regent. Then again, La Reserve was exquisite.

    Wow, I did not know that about Starlink, thanks. Is it not also true that the satellites were originally deployed to favour the northern latitudes? So perhaps near the equator it's a bit dicey?
  17. Wendy The Wanderer
    So sorry that French Polynesia's Society Islands are mostly a "washout". After all those sea days. Let's hope the weather improves as you sail west.
  18. Wendy The Wanderer
    Sorry, but what did you expect them to do? Seems fair to me although I can't speak about the TA commissions.
  19. Wendy The Wanderer
    I'm not remembering specifics but I believe it was as Tom stated; we didn't see our bag until it was delivered to our suite.
  20. Wendy The Wanderer
    All that info jibes with what we experienced last year at the Biltmore. But we made our own way to the ship. In this case, we had our car, and parked at the port, but would have taken a taxi or uber otherwise--I hate those buses. Regent did, however, take our big luggage so we didn't have to lug it around.

    Oh lucky you, sounds like heaven! I would do Nav in FP any time!
  22. Wendy The Wanderer
    Definitely not walkable, as Kahuna implied, although coming back, you can waltz right over to your ship.
  23. Wendy The Wanderer
    As a former, fairly frequent PG cruiser, I'm sorry to hear this, but not surprised. My expectations of Ponant have been low ever since the deposit debacle at the beginning of the pandemic.
  24. Wendy The Wanderer
    Just wondering since I assume it begins this weekend.
  25. Wendy The Wanderer
    Love Ross. Maybe he's home for Xmas.
