I'm going to say in this case since AC & UA are Star Alliance partners and this is a single booking on a UA ticket, there will be a single charge - if any at all - for a bag check. I think you get one checked bag free when flying to HI. ETA: Take that back. There is a bag fee, but you don't pay double. If it isn't obvious, bag is checked through to destination.

They need to add the location message - like Alongside Civitavecchia.

Mostly responding to welcome to CC and Princess forum. This is a new one for me. Did you have four voyages to add by chance? Are you sailing B2B2B2B? How many other cabins besides yours are involved?

Based on my limited experience with EzAir for international flights, if I still had my FF points and status from working years (and I do not), I think I would be using EzAir for cruising and my FF points to fly Business to Europe when not taking a cruise.

Technically @Snaxmuppet is correct in indicating that internet access is required for WhatsApp usage. Wifi alone is insufficient. Also, if one has lots of cash to burn, there is another way to get internet access on the ship. Leave cell active instead of airplane mode.

Was catching up on this revived thread from a year ago. Many of those posts a year back indicate what the experienced cruisers know - EzAir may not be the best option for domestic travel (US/Canada) unless you want flexibility to make changes late in the game. But it can be hard to beat EzAir (a consolidator) when it comes to overseas flights, especially when flying in and out of two different cities (e.g. Europe), or only flying one-way (e.g. doing a Transatlantic).

That's a boilerplate message that always appears - even if booking Business Class. It's probably there just to warn folks and so they don't get blow-back when someone has to pay for a bag. The airline you are booking on is the definitive source for any applicable baggage fees.

It's a price increase without a doubt. They could have raised the CG price to $46 and left things the way they were (hidden gratuity; non-refundable). This new way just seemed to stir the pot among guests. As it is they increased the meal price from $33.05 to $39 and now make the gratuity explicit (which a lot of guests would have been oblivious to in the past). IMO, advantage guests and disadvantage waiters because certain number of guests would have been more inclined to tip extra in the old system, being unaware of the baked-in tip amount. (Notwithstanding some who would choose to tip extra anyway). I imagine now that the 18% is explicitly added - as with a bar drink - that more guests will be satisfied they have tipped enough and additional cash won't be forthcoming.

Anytime I have looked at MIA vs FLL, fares have been higher there from YYZ. Also, not very convenient at all if cruising from PE. Would want to save a "ton" to fly into MIA versus the few minutes distance to PE.

Thanks. Where are you going? Is the WS flight a Delta codeshare? ETA: Oh forget It. I see you are going to LA area.

If you booked a GTY Category DE, you will not be assigned an Obstructed View cabin as you are assigned no less than your booking and there are no OV cabins in higher categories. The Obstructed Deluxe Balcony cabins are pretty much all DW - certainly not higher than DE>

Prediction: This Live From will blow all other Live Froms for similar voyage length out of the water for number of posts.

Did you go to the airline website and make sure your FF number and personal information was all entered? With this in place, it should be smooth sailing - er flying.

Oooooo.... well that could be problematic. I guess the ship can give them a deadline and then just remove it all themselves. Personally, I just don't see the necessity of it. I know some folks enjoy it, but if the cruise line says NO, then why rock the boat over some decor?

These days, anyone who travels ought to have a USD bank account and at least one USD credit card. Allows for self-managing currency conversions, including ability to exchange for larger amounts at better rates, buying when CAD is up (relatively). I'd even add rec to open up a combination CAD/USD investment account at a discount broker. Better exchange rate options there. Also, EQ Bank has USD savings account paying 3% which is non-existent elsewhere AFAIK - and a fairly newish option. Easy link to your main bank for online transfers. No need to pay egregious bank fees these days to obtain USD. With the above in place, piece of cake to engage with discount US agencies for pricing that Canadian agencies cannot (or will not) touch.

It's not like they are going to disembark someone over a door decoration that is simply removed and disposed of or taken inside the cabin. But once informed, I am sure the practice is expected to not recur.

IDK why those flights would be missing, unless the max number of seats available to consolidators like EzAir were sold. An option to try is to narrow down the selection and include your preferred airline. That might show more options since the other carriers do not appear in the list. If you still don't find a flight you know is offered by AC or WS, then you need to book directly with them.

It isn't EzAir that sets the flight schedules. The airlines do it. It mixing airlines at a connection point, then any booking engine will select flights that meet that airport's minimum connection times. I have found many instances on EzAir the opportunity to select a different combination with a longer layover.

Often, EzAir bookings are done ASAP (~11 mths out) and airlines make equipment and schedule changes a lot these days. One ought to heed the same advice if booked directly as it ain't EzAir making those changes.

Surprising.

I'd be willing to believe that the Sun has its unique pricing for bar drinks (alcohol and otherwise).

Not quite. You are missing (perhaps since you didn't mention it) the FCD perk. Purchase $100/pp FCDs on board and you use that as deposit on your next booking and earn back OBC, depending on cabin category and voyage length.

In terms of this forum, they are agents, as are Princess CVPs.

For precisely the reason you want to use it. CC doesn't allow/want us to be referring travel agents or agencies.

Yes, prices are the same. Except a while back they had deals on near-term voyages that were well under-sold. Not sure they have that issue these days.
