  1. I have been using the same agency and the same agent for over 5 years and I have never ever had any issue with her or them.

    I know its the same agency that you are speaking about.

    You just have to understand that the agent is there for 12 reason to make the bookings and that they have a really large customer service department to handle after the sale issues.

    They are so good that if I change something with "X", ie....an upgrade, they send me a confirmation email and tell me to make sure that I upgrade the insurance as well.

    If the OP is using them, then they should have no problem transferring the booking.

    When we book on board for a future cruise, we automatically let them know that we are going to transfer it to our TA.

  2. I have been on Celebrity a handful of times, and we have been all over the Caribbean and even the Med last year.

    We are going to asia in January for 2 weeks, does this route tend to be more formal or more casual compared to the above?

    Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.

    Packing for 2 weeks and pre and post cruise is going to be a challenge especially with really dressed up clothing.

    Dani,

    Happy New Year.

    I have gotten so much different information about this upcoming cruise. I don't know who to believe any more.

    It's crazy, the TA tells me one thing, the cruise line something else and the embassy a third thing.

    Have an easy fast.

  4. My wife and I are on the Millennium going Hong Kong to Singapore  starting on 1/4/20. We called our TA who is a large national agency who sold ua travel insurance (we never travel without it) and they gave me their number. I called them and they told me that civil unrest would not be a covered reason to cancel and get a refund. They also only pay $300 for  a missed embarkation port. This is hardly enough money to get us to the next stop in Vietnam should we miss Hong Kong. We were then advised to use "cruise line airfare" and we then booked the air through choice air because celebrity guarantees us passage. Any thoughts? I know we are 4 months away but things can happen.

  5. Can you imagine not having a drink package and ordering a grey goose and tonic on board the ship and the bill came to between $24 AND $25 dollars including the tip? How much would a double be?

    This is just crazy for a spirit that is around $30 for a bottle.

    How can NCL justify these prices?

    Even at a very fancy 5 star restaurant in Phila, NYC or Miami, this would be overpriced.

    PS.........NCL, we see right through your nickel and dime tactics.

  6. I was on a cruise over the Super Bowl once. They call it a Super Bowl party and sell drinks at the bars.

     

    Which is exactly what they would be doing any other day.

     

    LOL......

    What I was getting at was...........how about food?

    Hard to eat in the MDR that night.

    Is Guys open later that night?

    Do they have special Super Bowl snacks?

    Thanks,

    Howard

  7. I was on Vista for last year's Super Bowl. RedFrog also had the game on. They had Guy's Burgers open late too - I think until 9 or 10 pm - so that was quite popular with those watching on the jumbo screen. I also think they had snack food in the sports bar but don't recall specifically. Having the game played on embarkation day takes the edge off it a bit, as there is no time for a lot of build up among guests. You board, you unpack, you go watch the game, then it's just another cruise.

     

    Sounds great, just need some Yuengling Lager to go along with it also.

  8. Costco excursion.........

     

    Grab a hot dog and a soda for $1.50!

     

    Buy some useless stuff that you can return at the next port with no problems.

     

    Finish off with a rotisserie chicken for $4.99

     

    Made his day not to be able to take this excursion.

     

    WOW
