No. The refundable only covers you up until final payment date After that the percentage by number of days apply. You are correct the NRD really doesn't makes sense unless you know in advance that you are likely going to cancel. I've done it before when no suites were available and knew we wouldn't go unless a Suite was available. Usually it is a better option to purchase the NR and pay the $100 pp to change a reservation to a different cruise if necessary

@Nark_K quoted it exactly.

Really enjoyed following along. Your photos are incredible and bring back so manly warm memories.

Safe travel home. Really enjoyed following along with your travels. I grabbed a virtual Lemon Tart yesterday.... just wasn't the same.

I may be wrong but I believe you have to go through a couple screens before selecting a time. I believe you have to put in name, address, passport etc. I'm sure others will correct me if I am incorrect.

yes --- it is one of the item on the right hand list. You can just click it and it take you to select a time. Nothing else has to be filled in to select a time.

As others have said - I doubt any cruise line will answer visa questions especially if requesting information about a relative that doesn't hold a U.S. Passport. One site you may wish to check out is https://www.passportindex.org/travel-visa-checker/ another reliable one is https://apply.joinsherpa.com/travel-restrictions They are a site for obtaining visa's but will give you an idea of requirement. The second one correctly noted for example a Brazil Visa is not required until April 2025.

My experience is you have to either connect the reservations using the Website if you control the reservation or call you agent and have them join the reservations. After joined your reservations you should be able to access both from your primary reservation. I was able to do this with friends from Australia. I even checked in for them with check in opened so we all had the same checkIn time

I also rarely get local currencies and can advise that the exchange rate on the ship is really not good. You would do much better just exchanging it at a local currency dealer. As above in the cashless world of today I usually just use ApplePay and tip in U.S. Dollars. I've noticed that the majority of the tips given were in USD, UK Pounds or A$. They are grateful for any tips as tipping in many Asian countries is not the norm.

Personally I use a combination of both the App and the Website. The app is easier to just go in and grab a check in time without going through multiple screens. Yes you can check in all the guests but have to select a check in time for each separately. We also were linked with friends from a different country and I was able to select checkin times for them that were the same as us. They were able to come back the next day and put in all their passport, cc and details. I also find it easier to use the App to scan in Passport Information as oppose to entering it manually. I like to use the web app to add the pictures as I do it from pictures we have stored on my pc. You can use either to revise information at any time up until 48 hours prior to sailing.

I think you can get to it by approaching from the deck below and taking the spiral staircase up from the 2 MDR's on Deck 4- you exit right at Blu and before Eden

That was pretty much what I've seen across the fleet after they started throttling it. I found that it worked pretty good for us and was able to stream without problems.

It depends on what you are spoofing for. For YouTubeTV often if you use a server other than one in your TV Market it thinks you are out of area and won't allow you to watch your usually local stations but can still view your recordings. For Netflix - really doesn't matter as long as Netflix tags the IP as heavily used --- in that case just choose another - often a little used server like Kansas City

If you are staying in Sydney for a couple of days we had a wonderful AirBnB - We were close enough about 1/4 mile we just walked to the port the morning of our cruise with our suitcases. (it was all downhill)

LOL - another rebel. I live about 1 mile from Google Headquarters and Google is my Best Friend.
