  1. I can’t see a label for Addons?? home /discover /services /messenger /me ?
  2. Hey! Just settling down for a good read! Thanks for the mention about both needing to apply for DBE - I’m just filling it in for DH. I must admit I find the app very frustrating. There is no way to see what OBC you have it your loyalty number ? Or am I being thick?
  3. I’ve been on 5 cruises this year and have never had any issues using my vouchers in the MDR. Have never been charged for a drink… and yes, it’s hit or miss whether they charge you so you can sometimes get drinks without using any vouchers ! I am a little wary of this as you never know when/if they are going to register the drinks that day so I never go over the allocation and keep a record of what I have had in my head.
  4. Hiya! Following along!! Wait till you get to Europe. There is a stupid (imho) new ruling whereby the cap must still be attached to the bottle so you have to drink with the bottle cap halfway up your left nostril….
  5. Last November I docked at the further pier - Dique. It took me a leisurely 90 mins to stroll into town. RCI shuttle was $10pp Local #1 bus was €3 From memory it is a lengthy walk just to get out of the dock area until you get up the main road. I think the #1 came into the port
  6. We had skipped Wellington because of weather and headed south to Christchurch, then they said it was too bad to go round the bottom so we also skipped Dunedin and headed back up to Wellington. So the answer is yes and no!
  7. DH is a photographer- we never got to the sounds in February due to the weather.
  8. Just in case you were wondering where on earth you now enter your C&A number or the DP340 code ( as I was)…. It’s now hidden under the Explore Price Summary option at the bottom. Then Apply a Promo Code or Exclusive Rates. Because that’s really obvious rather than having it on the front page where it was … 🤔🤦‍♀️🤷‍♀️
  9. Yes it’s £88pp for a new full passport. As I said this “interlude” has cost us about £2000! The one way flights today were over €500. Then hotel/food/taxis/ my needing new prescription glasses 🤓… it adds up. Thank goodness we were able to pay but I guess if you didn’t have anything or if they had got DHs credit cards 💳 too then we would have been totally stuck and would have thrown ourselves in the mercy of the British Consulate There were several other people in the consulate who had also had their passports stolen at the airport. It’s sad: this beautiful city will start to lose visitors if they don’t stamp down on this. 20 minutes for the police to arrive in a major international airport is disgusting response time!!!
  10. That sounds exactly like our man….skinny, unshaven, black jacket, striped shirt ( 👔 which is now ripped after his wrestling on the floor) … he must have left and gone to 2C! And found me! It is appalling that they have the gall to operate inside an airport terminal which should be teaming with police 👮‍♀️?!
  11. Thank you again for your comments - to those who we will never know who helped, the ladies at the airport to called the police, the Swiss police who restrained the guy until the Spanish police turned up, the lady in the hotel who gave us an upgrade when she heard our story, the waiter in the restaurant who gave us free shots… the kindness of strangers. God bless you. The Consulate have processed our Emergency Travel docs (£100pp if you ever need one!) and we can collect at 11am tomorrow. Booked on the first possible flight after that outta here! This little shindig will cost close to £2000 once we have added up hotel/ flight/ emergency travel docs/ new passports/ new glasses for me/ new sunglasses for DH/ meals/ excess parking fines… 🤞insurance pays up. And to the Albanian low life scum thieves. Karma bites back
