Thank you for your information Bill. We are staying here in November 2024 and have noted the restaurant recommendation!

I have used Airalo ESIM in Europe twice this year with great coverage. They have an Island Hopper package that might be worth a look.

The sale is indeed still on. We upgraded for our TA next November. Thanks for posting this.

We flew to Rome last October from YYz. It was about $800 Cdn one way ( we were embarking on a transatlantic) on Air Canada. Great flight. No issues with luggage. Not sure when you are going or what current fares are. I recently flew Air Transat from Dublin to YYZ in June. About $700 Cdn one way. Another great flight.

We spent 5 nights at Hotel Smeraldo last October. We had a fabulous stay. We booked with hotel directly and our rooms were great( small but welcome to Rome). I highly recommend them and would stay here again. If you need transfer from airport/to cruise port we used Rome Cabs - highly recommend them as well. Have a fabulous trip.

We stayed at the Hotel Smeraldo in Rome last year. Centrally located, close to Campo De Fiori, Piazza Navona, etc., elevator and most rooms were renovated recently. Wonderful breakfast as well. Keep in mind hotel rooms in Rome are small. We were able to walk everywhere including back from the Colosseum and Vatican. Great restaurants nearby. Roscioli bakery across the street. No issues with safety. Hope this helps.

We are late 50’s as well and prefer Celebrity. We did NCL when our children were younger but find Celebrity more to our liking now. There is lots to do if you are up for it, with plenty of relaxation spots if you are not.

We have used Manulife in the past. Will be using again for upcoming cruise.

Happy Canada Day!!!! 🇨🇦
