HUNKY

PGH…. What credit card offers 5% back on travel?

Pick whichever source of info best fits your style! On the app “my itinerary” nor the boarding pass mention dressy nights. Therefore, I can choose all smart casual or a week with two Gala Nights. It’s great to have choices.

Ugh that the discount went down to 8%! I used my Citi Double Cash card to get 2% back on my HAL gift card so my final cost for a $500 card is $450.80, which is a 9.84% discount. I use the HAL gift cards for shorex and to pay my onboard bill.

When I went online to confirm the booking, I checked out dining. There was an offering for the Thomas Keller kitchen on Seabourn!

Tried to book online a cruise three weeks away. Spent several hours trying to book and pay for it. WASN'T GOING TO HAPPEN. Called the main customer number (877-932-4259) and less than eight minutes later. All done! I prefer to do things online without human assistance, but this time I was amazed at the outstanding professionalism and efficiency of the agent.

TennAllie - How much was the Uber from Tilbury to London?

Hey Clay - Are there computers to use? If so, where are they? I'm thinking of leaving the laptop at home.

Just like the airlines…What is United Polaris? Is Delta One business class or first class? Anytime I book tickets I need to translate what they are.

Foggy - that is most likely the excursion. I knew it was most of the day.

CCW - Where do you check the Chef's Table menus?

Last summer in Svalbard some folks took an independent tour to the north coast. Saw several polar bears - which we did not. It was a long excursion, which I wish I took. We took a small high speed boat to see glaciers and the coast-but NO polar bears. 😩

You would be wise to book your second choice. Remember to select and pay for your excursion individually. It helps to have a list of excursions by priority, and second choices, and have your credit card number copied and ready to paste. Having two screens is very beneficial and saves time switching windows.

Viking Neptune and Viking Sky on their World Cruises still have not heard. I wonder if the Crystal ships will have any insurance coverage if they transit the Red Sea?

Looks as though the port was busy. I noted Carnival, Virgin, Disney, and Viking. And the ferries. A mini Port Everglades! On another note, Crystal Serenity is rerouting around the Cape of Good Hope.

They can turn over their luggage to the Viking staff after baggage claim. They need to let those same staff know they are not going to be on the bus.
