Oh! Even the small Azamara ships have pools in which we were able to swim…and of course the larger ships from companies like MSC, Celebrity, Mein Schiff… Ivi

Thank you for the beautiful pictures. It looks good 👍 Looking forward with my cruise with Explora next year. Ivi

Interesting 🤔 My husband and me are swimmers and we have always wondered why some people are just staying around without swimming. We have never heard of „pool people“ before. I have learned something new. Ivi

Thanks Keith for the explanation. Ivi

Keith are you sure about this? I have thought they were two independently issues. When I have complained with new Crystal about the amount of my certificate they said that there were independently from Moecker. Moecker told me also that they were independently from the new Crystal . Didn’t we had also that information on this board? Ivi

And from the ones they have completed, some (many ?) are those with errors 😔 so imagine how long it will take to finish this undertaking. Ivi

Thanks! It is annoying. I imagine many people are experiencing the same. We hope the assignees manage to correct the errors 🙏🏼. Ivi

I have received today a letter from the assignees. Their conclusions in my case are wrong! They have reduced the amount of my claim indicating that I have been already refunded by Crystal! Go figure… this is like telling me I am lying. I am objecting their conclusions but I am so tired of having to deal with this! Ivi

Yes, we were there on the WC 2019 right? Ivi

One year ago during our hiking vacation in Switzerland we encountered a group of Italians with their Ferraris. I have posted that picture on this forum. Today, also during our hiking vacation, we saw this cars parked in front of the hotel in Switzerland. The owners appear to be Germans. The cars this time Porsche 😃. Ivi

Unfortunately I am not an Instagram user. So I could not see the post 😔 Ivi

Not for my cruise which included ports in Italy, France and Spain. Ivi

I have used my OBC for my transfer from the ship to the Airport without problems. I have booked it on board. This was less than one week ago. For the transfer from Airport to the ship, I had paid extra. It was not possible to book OBC. Ivi

I could not do the check in online. My TA got me from Azamara my eticket. I had my documents with all my booking information including OBC, payments, etc. The check in at the terminal was done in 10 minutes. If you have your paper documentation about your correct booking you should not have problems for the check in at the terminal. Ivi

I have seen another officer hosted dinner served for some people on the Discoveries restaurant on Onward. Any body has any idea who gets invited and for what reason? I have asked the waiters but they did not know the reason. Ivi

I did not realize your post was a long time ago. I have read a warning from German internet security companies warning not to use those USB ports because by using them you become vulnerable to hackers. Ivi

Maybe some of you would have seen the Provence in early July when the lavender look beautiful. For you a picture taken at Luberon. Ivi

Once you are onboard you forget this incompetence. But I agree that is a stressful situation pre cruise. Ivi

I fully agree with you. They will refund all your costs. But in your case is the issue of not having time flexibility due to still working. For me the cancellation of my cruise was also not painless. Several plans had to change because of that. But we are not competing about who suffers more in case of cancellations. I feel your pain and as I have said, I agree with you. And I wish you luck. I hope you will be able to book something you like. Azamara maybe? Ivi

I am not sure that it was Explora who did not get the certification. According to the article in the financial times it was a provider of certain panels, the one who did not pass the exams. Since other cruise lines are also using those panels, is not a problem from Explora alone. Ivi

They have cancelled other cruises and have not offered a free cruise as compensation. It is like it is. In this case is a safety issue. In my case the cancellation was because apparently of popular demand they decided to stay in the Caribbean. I was not a happy cruiser trying to find another itinerary to rebook and realizing that their “generous offer” was diminished by price increases. Ivi

Thanks Terry. Any idea what is the reason? Ivi

Not all. Different personalities. Some are just distant and won’t even make eye contact. And others like Nagwhila, and of course previously Heike, are always approachable and asking if everything is fine. Ivi

Yes this i what I have heard. Captain Sanguineti makes a very good impression also. Ivi

I have just asked. They do not have that machine. Ivi
