I have used Just Airports a car service from LHR to my London hotel. Use your London hotel’s postal code to get a quote.

If going to Southampton on embarkment day, check out International Friends.  They pick up at certain London hotels with a stop at Stonehenge then dropped off at the Southampton dock.

Don't bother with that if you have Global Entry or NEXUS.

 

Even without either of those, entry into Toronto uses machines and is still quite speedy.

Returning to Toronto, Canada from USA in Feb, I used ArriveCAN app, it did make a difference in the Immigration/Customs line.  There were only 2 families waiting in front of us compared to the long regular line.

When there are a lot of planes landing at the same, the Immigration/Customs line can be quiet long.

I am on a cruise Nov 9 with 2 ports in Israel.  Princess will probably cancel these ports due to the fighting.

 

I have the 2 day excursion paid by OBC and credit card.

 

Will the refund be by OBC or Credit Card?

In Sept, I cancelled an excursion that I had paid only by credit card.  The refund went back to my credit card.

For my Israel excursion, I used both OBC and credit card.

That is why I am asking if refund will be by OBC or credit card.

I am on the Island, Nov 9 Mediterranean & Israel cruise with 2 stops in Israel Nov 15 & 16.

RC has changed their itinerary for their Oct ports to different ports.

Celebrity has changed their Oct ports to an overnight and a different port.

A few years ago, Princess cancelled Israel ports to another ports.

We will have to wait and see what Princess will do if they announce before we sail or while on the ship.

I always book EzAir and watch the price. I have never had any problems using them.

I booked when EzAir released flights for my Nov 9 cruise to arrive a day before and fly a day after our cruise.

Nov 7 - Air Canada - non stop - YYZ-FCO - Premium Economy 

Nov 24 - Air Canada - non stop - FCO-YYZ - Premium Economy 

I received notice that my return on Nov 24 was no longer a non stop.  Air Canada put us on Nov 25, non stop, Air Canada.

I paid at final payment and did early ticketing a few days later and saw Air Canada ticket number.   Around 42 days, I was checking Air Canada site to see if I could add my personal details.  I noticed my return Nov 25 flight had changed to 1 stop on Nov 24. My agent or myself did not receive any notification of any changes.  I called EzAir.  He was able to change back to Nov 25, non stop for my booking and my cousin’s.  We lost our 2x2 seats and now in a row of 4.

The price now is double what I am paying.

I just left the Island yesterday and can confirm the 10:30 pm closing time.  

 

We struggled with late evening food a few times as we were in port very late.  We ordered room service 3X (not counting breakfast card every day for port days)

 

I will be on the Island in a month’s time.

I like the idea of ordering breakfast for port days as some excursions are at 7:30am.

Did you order from breakfast door sign? Isn’t there a limited items on the breakfast door sign?

Or off the app?

Was they delivered on time?

I have stayed at Premier Inn Waterloo 4x.  It has A/C.  It entrance is street level.  I believe it used to be a hospital.

Premier Inn County Hall, The hotel’s entrance is up a few stairs.

Premier Inn County Hall is closer to the London Eye.

There is one street and a small plaza (like an empty courtyard) between Premier Inn Waterloo and County Hall.

I have stayed at Premier Inn West Quay 4x.  It has A/C.

I have stayed at Premier Inn Ferry Terminal, Dover.  It has no A/C.

We are 2 ladies traveling together. I take twin room - 1 double and 1 single bed.

Premier Inn are a basic hotel, bed, bathroom (no face clothes), desk, chair, lamp, mirror, kettle- tea/coffee, a space to hang items, no phone, no iron/board, no safe.

I plan on doing the Fast Pass on our return from Rome.

Is it a q code that I need on my phone?

Is is something I can print?

I plan to do Fast Pass for my Nov return from Rome.

It the Fast Pass a q code?

Is it something you can print out?

If you have a “no upgrade” on your booking, will we get a Up Bid Offer?

On EzAir, if you modify your present flights to change your flights, remember you have re add your airline passenger number and seats each time.

There has been an issue for the shipping for a few months.  I was hoping, since you’re in Canada, you’d be able to reorder now for shipping, as some have reported they have been successful.

 

Are you plus/premier on these?  

 

So, you have time to try later.  You know how to do it now.  I’m waiting on my 2024/5 cruises to order the OM.  
 

 

I added and paid Plus for all my cruises in August when they made the changes.

As you said I have time maybe by that time the App might be working.

It’s a little cumbersome, but doable.

click on edit

Click the order number 

Click order history 

move down 

you should see cancel order

 

do this for any order, you may have one for each person.

 

once cancelled, they send an email.

You can recheck, go back and instead of pick up at port, you’ll see cancelled.

 

Then just start over, order each person again…

 

I have the following cruises-

Nov 2023

Feb 2024

Sept 2024

Feb 2025

Nov 2025

For Nov 2023, I am going with new cruisers who have not done App yet and probably will do at last minute so ok picking up at Rome dock with them.

I followed your instructions for the rest of the cruises.  
 

The only one I was able to cancel and change was Sept 2024.  I was only able to choose to pick up at San Francisco dock. Reordered for dock pickup.

Something must be wrong on my App.  I would like to have before hand but ok to pick up at the dock 

If your cruise line has an Air Dept, book a flexible (no payment) flights and watch the prices on the air line website and take the price you like.

I ordered my Medallion to be picked up at the dock before Canadian shipping was announced

On the app, under Order History it shows Order Number, Sail Date with a tick.

How do I cancel pick up at dock to ship to my home?

Following along on your new cruises.

They will put your cabin number on the bottle and keep it until you ask for it again.  When you want the bottle, tell the waiter your cabin number and the name of the dining room you were in.  They will go and retrieve the bottle.

I’m staying in London for several days after, so time in London isn’t a huge concern. 

Post cruise, check out International Friends.  They pick up at Southampton dock with stops at Salisbury, Stonehenge and Windsor before dropping you off at the door of certain London hotels.  Purchase Stonehenge and Windsor tickets through them.

I great way to see other places before London.

I have taken them from Southampton and Dover.

. We'll do a week in London post cruise but I was really hoping to blow my teen grandsons mind with his first ever visit to a castle. It's spectacular and was my first decades ago.

Post cruise, I took International Friends with a pick up at Southampton dock with a stop at Salisbury, Stonehenge and Windsor before being dropped off at the door of our London hotel.

They also go on embarkment days with pick up at certain London and LHR hotels with a stop at Stonehenge before being dropped off at Southampton dock.

Thanks for the update.

I have found with people flying and with airline luggage weight limit plus the charge for luggage, you see less very formal wear and more nice casual.

Thanks for the information as a Service Canada is only a few minutes away from my home.  It will be for a standard renewal no rush.

Service Canada is fine for Standard service renewal. If you need Express or Urgent renewal, you have to go to a Passport Office.

Night one was comedian at 7:30 & 8:15. Night two was Showtime Music Beyond Language at 7:30 & 8:15. Tonight is formal with Encore at 7:30 & 8:15.

Thank you,

Can you go to a Service Canada with a renewal form to hand in?

Or, do you have to go to a Passport office?
