Thanks..

We are booked on Air Canada from Orlando for a Med cruise in September leaving from Athens. We are flying Rouge to Montral and connecting to mainline AC for the international leg. Will our checked bags pass through to the Athens flight automatically or do we have to claim them and recheck? Weve flown in and out of Canada a number of times but never connected. Thanks

We have stayed in an aft corner NS on Oosterdam and the balconies are so large you could have a small party on them. They are also less affected by the wind. We have also stayed in an SS on Amsterdam and Eurodam-both cabins on the bump out. You basically get two balconies in these suites. One facing out and other facing forward. If you love your balconies either would be a good choice.

Thanks to all of you for your thoughts..

We are venturing to Europe for a cruise in September and have never purchased travel insurance for past cruises. Is the HAL platinum plan good insurance or is finding a private insurance policy a better idea? Your thoughts?

We stayed in 7093 (SS suite) on the Rotterdam last week. Noise was never an issue.

Interesting... We just got off the Rotterdam. We booked two future cruises on board and both times the Cruise consultant said I qualified for casino rates. I was surprised because all I played was $100 at the craps table..,,We got a decent discount so not complaining.

We board on the second leg with friends/neighbors who are getting married on the ship.

We took your cruise last August. The only rough water we ran into was Icey Point to Sitka. The captain deployed the stabilizers that night and you could barely feel the motion. We were on Deck 7 midship..

60 Days.. Our friends tried to transfer their booking to a TA for our September Med cruise. They were told transfers arent allowed 60 days after initial booking.

Thanks..

Reading a number of reviews about the need to refurbish Veranda cabins. Have the PH cabins been refurbished

Agreed... Dealing with a mass of humanity isn't my idea of a relaxing vacation.

A friend just returned from the Seashore and said it took more then an hour to dock at Ocean Cay. She said it was windy and it took the crew multiple attempts to dock but they finally made it. As noted in a previous post, ships must navigate a narrow channel that's almost a half mile long. In order for the ship to dock on the starboard side they have to back the ship down the channel. Wind would certainly be a factor.

We live in Florida now and FlightEase is way cheaper for business class to Athens.
