Cool Cruiser

Cool Cruiser (2/15)

  1. The bottom itinerary looks like the one we’re on right now. The Sapphire is a great ship. Weather has been perfect, haven’t missed a post. We love Princess! Go for it!
  2. We too were routed on Latam GRU-SCL. Could not get seats on Delta site, went to Messenger, typed in Latam.com, got someone in a short period of time, got the seats I requested, done within 5 min. Refreshing! And yes, the BClass seats are incredibly comfy and plenty of room in Business cabin. We didn’t have any of the Flight Attendants with good knowledge of English but we muddled through. That was the only downer but guess I shouldn’t be an “ugly American.”
  3. We recently did the same. We are on the Sapphire right now, were reserved on EZE/LIM/ATL, was very tight connection in Lima of only 1.5 hrs. Delta made changes and made it even shorter. They have a good policy that changes can be made without additional charge if times are altered. Fortunately there was room on a non-stop EZE-ATL. We are thrilled!
  4. We are on the Sapphire right now. Fortunately she made it into Stanley two days ago. We reserved a spot with Shaun Jaffray (to Volunteer Point) as mentioned above, two years ago. It was an outstanding excursion. First off, he requests no deposit up front because many ships have to cancel Stanley visit due to harsh weather in this area. Re: waiting for large crowds, our group was made up of 14 Land Rovers (4 people in each) and they travelled the same trail to and from. There was no hold up waiting for others. Caution: 50% of the ride to and from was VERY rough grass/dirt trails with frequent jarring potholes. Those with chronic neck or back issues may regret the 2 hrs each way. On a positive note, there were hundreds of King Penguins, along with Gentoo. The Volunteers present remind the visitors about respecting these beautiful animals. Another more reasonable tour though fewer penguins to be observed, is using the local bus to Gypsy Cove, $20 each way. It was a magical day! The town of Stanley is cute as well.
  5. Just looked up ship Dr charges: Paxlovid was $750., charge for Dr $99. AON took care of the above, lots of paperwork and receipts of course but it all worked out. This was from Jan ‘23.
  6. Positive update to this thread: I’m the OP and spent way too much time attempting to resolve this issue. In short, after many looooong phone wait times and calls, being shuffled from person to person, to AA, back to EZAir , etc etc (you get the drift) I took the good advice of a fellow CC member and went straight to the top. I was very hesitant to do that but after almost 3 months of multiple emails, phone calls and absolutely no resolution, had to change direction. So, started out with email: customer relations, cc to jpadgett, lwarren and csteinke. Amazingly, I got a call the next afternoon from a “Senior Administrator” who wanted to hear the dynamics of what happened, listened well, said they would follow up with EZAir, gave me their direct line and promised to get back to me within a few days. She did call back a few days later, stated “unable to figure out why your flights were changed at the last minute” and offered me two choices which were equal to the amount we paid for our return flight home. It’s sad that you have to jump to the top for a solution. But, it’s done. Whew!
  7. I need to add my two cents here. DH was diagnosed with Covid on the Regal in January this year. Since we were out of the US our plan stated they did not cover. Once we got home, we filed a claim with AON (as mentioned above) and a large portion of the medical expenses incurred was covered. It didn’t take as long as we expected. (PS Hubby did fine, we’re both boosted, he took Paxlovid and turned neg by day 5). Princess even credited him with 5 days worth FCC). 😎
  8. We were on the Emerald in June, spent an afternoon in the Sanctuary. Yes, teatime still exists. Love it! So much food to choose from. My favorite is the orange scones, complete with jam and cream.
  9. Same here, from June cruise. Am anxiously awaiting anEZAir refund and thought somehow was related? Crazy!
  10. Hi all: booked on Feb ‘24 SA cruise, ending in BA. Looking for tour on last day with possible drop off at airport. Thanks for any ideas!
  11. We’ll be there in Feb ‘24, anything else to do nearby? Thanks!
