  1. I personally will not fly TK, but many people like them. They are o.k.until you run into a problem and then you might as well beat your head against a wall. Some of the complaints on TA are nonsense, but their customer service is pretty much nonexistent.
  2. No, it's not better. Get a room and take a cab or Uber.
  3. Sorry you are experiencing this, especially when traveling solo. Did you purchase travel insurance (I hope)? Usually, there is a phone number you can call for help because it sounds as if you need help now, not two days from now, but I understand the difficulties when you are cruising. Yes, I believe there are no opioids on the ship. Windstar does not have a large medical center like some ships. Good luck and get that looked at because pain and swelling this long is not normal.
  4. It’s actually personally blaming an agent, who has nothing to do with any delays/cancellations, etc. yesterday, the airport was a zoo because of spring break and weather. Pax who missed their flights seemed astounded that there was no availability for days. “What? But, I’m a frequent flyer, I need to be in XXX by 1700.” True story - a couple missed their connection due to a weather delay. I finally found them two seats on a flight that would get them home by 21:00. Nope, no good because the guy must be at work the next morning. No flights available on any airline for the next four days. They decide they are going to try and rent a car (good luck this week), and make the ten hour drive home from US to Canada. I urge them to check availability of rental cars and if they can take the car to Canada, but off they go. No idea what happened. And, I think today is going to be even worse. We’ll see!
  5. Really? How do you know that? It just feels true?
  6. Because of the long wait, your GE expiration date is extended up to a year, as long as you have an application in process. i turned in my renewal in Jan, got conditional approval the end of Feb., and had to do an interview, which I did on departure from NAS; I just asked an CBP agent if they could do it.
  7. Windstar used to send out a nice pouch with all your cruise documents, including luggage tags, but as with so many cruise lines, those are no more. You will receive emailed documents ~four or five weeks before your cruise. If you haven't received them by now, contact Windstar or your TA if you used one. Be sure to print them out and have them with you, as some ports (Barbados comes to mind) will require you to show them for entry to the port. Luggage tags will be found at the ship when you check in.
  8. I just wanted to make sure I understood correctly because I have never seen this question on CC. I am sure they would notice but this isn’t against any rules.
  9. No, I have never heard of this. There are many rates, such as interline rates, not available to the public and there are some amazing deals. What you see as a $3000 price may be $600 to them and cabins are sold last minute that way. Get a job with an airline or hotel, for example, and you will pay much less. I don't think haggling in a market, or purchasing a car or house has anything to do with this question.
  10. I have been on many Windstar cruises and as best as I remember, they always hold them and you have no choice IME. I’m not sure why this is an issue.
  11. I am not talking about you, Strenz. I agree, I stick with Windstar for ocean cruises.
  12. Have you considered HAL? Between your two choices I would take Princess.
  13. I have had many loads of laundry done during Windstar cruises. Most of it comes back just fine, and you request that items be line dried if you wish. Are they kept out of the dryer? Who knows? I did have one cruise where dark items came back noticeably faded and one dress had spotted areas. I never send out anything that I value.
  14. I have noticed that some people who stick with one cruise line only are not balanced at all in their reviews, even when they are reincarnated.
