I never use(d) PVP and can see this will inconvenience a number of people. I'm with Johnson/MEDOC group travel/medical insurance. Canadian travelers will have to start looking at Manulife, Blue Cross, RBC, etc... for their travel insurance needs.
Hmmm... you ought to be able to do that by now. I did some on Emerald Princess about 10 months in advance. You need to do the reservations through the Medallion App. Are you using that?
I don't 'feel' that at all or believe anything like it would happen. I simply suggested a (highly unlikely) scenario where a cruies line could save a few bucks by missing ports of call. I'd suggest though, that the real reason(s) for canceling port calls are due to bad weather and sea conditions, civil and labour unrest and safety/medical emergencies and not opportunities to pinch the fuel budget.
Expensive. Seems to me you confused seeking diagnosis and treatment at a medical facility staffed by professionals with a shopping trip to the drug store armed with your own treatment plan.
Not that I have any idea what Tranq B meant, but they could save fuel by not actually making their way to the missed port(s); rather than steaming a few hundred miles over a couple of days, just putter around at sea doing eight knots to nowhere and chalk up some fuel consumption savings. Kind of a ridiculous suggestion but I've seen worse on the boards!
We were in London for a weekmin August. It was common for sit-down restaurants to add 12.5% to the bill and it was clearly marked gratuity; VAT never came up. After London, we were in Manchester, Glasgow and Edinburgh and did not receive restaurant bills with gratuities added for our convenience.
Hmmm... Who you gonna trust on this one? US State Department or Government of Chile? BTW, the UK Government agrees with the Chilean Government...

You can purchase lounge access a number of ways, which I won't list as they're too numerous but here is a starter resource. Most stays are limited to three hours.
