Costa Rica

Zimmy · October 8, 2013

We also received our documents yesterday, but they were etickets and were emailed to us by our travel agent. I can't remember whether we got a $50 credit or not, although I know that we have in the past. I didn't look carefully at them - were they only for the first cruise? The last time we took a B2B I recall only one set of documents.

Got documents for the first cruise only. We have never done a B2B so don't know if they usually send another packet. It would be kind of silly to do so. I asked our travel agent about it and she checked with Seadream. They told her they stopped offering the credit the first part of this year. I usually do the online forms early but don't think I did them this time. Maybe you got lucky and did yours before they made the change.

We always got our B2bB in one itinerary. We only checked in once and only did one lifeboat drill.

Just checked our documents. The itinerary is only for the first cruise and the yacht ticket shows Barbados as the point of embarkation but shows no debarcation point.

I will call my travel agent tomorrow so she can call SD and see what's going on.

Zimmy · October 9, 2013

Sorry, I got it wrong. The printed itinerary is a 14 day itinerary, but the debarcation point is missing on the yacht ticket. DH contacted TA.

DH inquired if having no debarcation point on the ticket meant that we could stay on forever. Good thinking, but probably won't work.

We got our docs -- clearly stated Barbados-Caldera. . . .

Oops -- cruise contract is Barbados-Balboa. But shouldn't be a problem. . . ?

(Marches over to mail and sifts thru again. Sits back down, disappointed.)

Not only no invitations to snack with Pam...

Hi Folks,

Mitch, Lisa, Andrew and I (Ira) will be boarding Nov.9 Barbados and sticking around until the 23rd.

The Canadians are coming!

See you soon, we are super excited, this is an entirely new destination for all of us!

Hey loving life--

Will enjoy seeing you and crew again!

We cruised long ago--

That is, if I get my docs...

:-)

vandrefalk · October 14, 2013

Loving Life, we are with you! I know we've sailed together before but not sure we ever met -- so look forward to meeting you this time!

Great Jim. I will write Juan Carlos that there will be 4 of us from the Marriott to the volcano and on to SeaDream I. We will return with him on Dec. 14th. Really looking forward to meeting you and Lois. Maxine

Maxine, we just got an email from Juan Carlos wanting to firm up transfers. Are we still on to travel to the volcano and the ship together? Drop me a line at averyjamesr at gmail dot com. Looking forward to seeing you in just a few weeks now.:D:D Jim & Lois.

For those who have used Coach Costa Rica, I have a question. Were you ok sending them the credit card information they request? In addition to the usual credit card number, expiry date, and card code on the back, they are requesting photocopies of the card front & back and photocopy of my Passport. Is this normal procedure for them and have you had any issues from this?

Thanks,

Jim

vandrefalk · October 18, 2013

Jim, they offered me the option of doing it by phone, which worked just fine. I wasn't too keen on emailing that kind of info!

Strange. I booked transfers with them several months ago and only had to provide credit card info and a deposit -- no request for driver's licence or passport. Maybe they will ask for it when we get closer to departure.

Jim Avery · October 18, 2013

Thanks for the info. I can always count on you guys.:D Hey, there is a tropical low system trying to spin up off the coast of CR.:eek: We certainly don't need any of that stuff in a few weeks. Hopefully, this is the finale of the Eastern Pacific Hurricane season.

Sorry guys but i have been away. I think they are trustworthy They just want to get their money! I used them and they were good about 6 years ago. Then you had to send a check to a P O Box in Miami or something far enough ahead that the check cleared before you got there! I remember thinking that it was a strange way of doing business, but it sounds like they have at least progressed into the modern world! I think all will be fine!

It is all worked out with them. They are fine with what Vandrefalk gave them. All good here. :D:D

My husband and I will be getting off with some of you on November 23 in Caldera. I noticed that a couple of you booked Coach Costa Rica. I booked another company and was going to tour a little as our flight doesn't leave until 3:35 from San Jose. Is there a reason you chose this company over others? I don't even know where I got company i booked info from. They have been good at answering emails. I'm now reconsidering and thinking it might be safer to go with a company that is already coming to pick up other people.

I'm looking forward to meeting all of you November 9. It is getting close now.

I need to research some of the ports.

Zimmy · October 22, 2013

I don't know who you are booked with, but we are being picked up on the 23rd by Swiss Travel Service. It was arranged by our TA, and they were recommended to her by the hotel we're staying at. We have about a four hour drive to the hotel, and apparently this is who they use.

Jim Avery · October 22, 2013

It should be getting close to documents time!:D

cwaj45 · October 23, 2013

Hi Zimmy,

Thanks for the reply. Seadream is also recommending Swiss travel in the documents we received.

Jim Avery · November 1, 2013

Heading to CR 4 weeks from today! :D

commodoredave · November 1, 2013

Six weeks for us!!!

CKforensic · November 2, 2013

Three weeks for us! :D I'll try to check this thread while onboard in case anyone sailing later has any questions.
