Not Ottawa, at least not as yet. The only airports with Express currently are Montreal, Toronto, Calgary, Edmonton and Vancouver. This webpage provides a good overview of their varying hours of operation, terminals and other points of interest: https://princeoftravel.com/guides/express-security/

Yes.

Unfortunately, that doesn't apply to all Canadian airports. Here in Ottawa, Nexus members go to the head of the line for security, but are then required to pull laptops, remove shoes, etc., along with all the non-Nexus passengers.

I'm not aware of any other Canadian credit card currently following this practise.

As a general comment, I think that there is some minor confusion with respect to exact reporting requirements today, brought about by the introduction of new programs (e.g. Nexus), new technologies (kiosks), different approaches depending upon means of entry (flight, drive, boat [with variations: pleasure, ferry, cruise], bus, train) and the reduced requirement for completing a Declaration Card. Unfortunately, CBSA has yet to compile a single, comprehensive website that would enable someone to quickly determine what is expected of them given a combination of factors.

Well, the price has dropped about $4 over the last couple of months, so while it isn't COVID-level pricing, it's not too bad.

None on my MacBook running Safari, but I too run an ad blocker.

While we've had umbrellas when booking a Vista suite, I've read a number of posts written by passengers whose umbrella were nowhere to be found. Take rain gear or your own umbrella, just in case.

On my MacBook using Safari, I still can't access Boards in a normal window, but I can access all other parts of CC. By switching to a private window, I can access Boards as well. Very strange, and hopefully CC will come up with a remedy soon.

Although a regular cabin, we sailed in 8080 aboard the Nieuw Statendam. As you can see, it is adjacent to the stairs and elevators, and we were concerned about the possible noise. In making our final selection, however, the balcony size and cabin location outweighed our fear of potential noise. As it turned out, there was absolutely no disruptive noise, and we couldn't have been happier with our decision. Ours was a 14-night cruise with a full passenger load, but still no noise from those waiting for or exiting the elevators or staircase.

From the Canadian AMEX website: If the charge is not in U.S. dollars, the conversion will be made through U.S. dollars, by converting the charge amount into U.S. dollars and then by converting the U.S. dollar amount into Canadian dollars. If the charge is in U.S. dollars, it will be converted directly into Canadian dollars.

Definitely. The ports of call forums are full of posts discussing/mentioning specific tour companies. Ditto roll calls. Go for it!

My preference is always to have passenger cabin on the decks above and below me. As 4166 is located above the Vista Dining Room, I'd not consider it. In the event that it makes a difference to you, this cabin only has a shower, no bath. On the other hand, I enjoy stern cabins, and 7149 would be a good choice IMO. Personally, I wouldn't pay the extra money for 6115. We'd rather maximize the number of cruises within our travel budget and forego the extra space and perks associated with a signature suite.

There are lots of posts discussing/mentioning tugo, not all on this forum. Use "everywhere" for your search parameter and you should find 'em all.

Fortunately, there are multiple dining venues, and no one is denied a meal. I've cruised with many groups aboard, of varying sizes, and have never gone hungry. 😇
