That list is hilarious. No Handcuffs. Come on people, that is what duct-tape is for!🤪 No Water Heaters. What about if you check it as luggage? 😁

We were booked on Celebrity on a TA crossing years back. The way I found out there was a problem was on the Roll Call. We all posted our stateroom #'s on the roll call and someone posted the same exact cabin # as us. 😮 We were originally booked on a 7 night Caribbean cruise, but the ships schedule changed and was to leave Barcelona now on the same day our cruise was to begin. They offered our deposit back, or keep the booking and take the 14 day crossing for what we paid for the 7 day Caribbean. Then they offered the folks that were originally booked on the TA for two weeks earlier, a refund or, transfer to the new one with an OBC and a future cruise credit. What a mess. We were refunded our deposit and given a future cruise credit that we never got to use.

I'm not seeing those when I log in. Worst that can happen is find out it was a mistake and they refund you the deposit.

If they are squeezing 6 glasses out of a 750 mil (25.36 oz) that is some serious nickel and diming. Guess I'm a lush. At home it only gets me 4.

In Europe ATMs are called Bancomats. At airports use one only from an actual Bank and not one attached to a currency exchange. Use your debit card and not a credit card. The exchange rate will be calculated by your bank and you will pay a small foreign transaction fee (generally 1-3%). At stores and restaurants, I always use my credit card that has no foreign transaction fees

That was exactly what I was going suggest. I have also done that in the past, but not recently.

Both my wife and I require the use of scooters. The ones we have are made by Travelscoot, www.travelscoot.com The width is only 21.5" and fits through all standard size stateroom doors. It is also collapsible and lightweight. Might be an option for you to consider.

We have booked an accessible mini-suite on the Regal for November because my wife had a stroke. She is able to walk just fine, but cannot bend her leg in order to get into a bathtub/shower combo. We found out that our MA mini stateroom was more expensive than a standard mini MB, but weren't charged the additional, because there are no MB staterooms that are accessible.

We stayed at the Eurostar Gran Marina at the WTC twice. 1st time was for our Royal Caribbean cruise that departed from Adossat. 2nd time was on Silversea that departed from the WTC South Terminal. That was really nice to be able to walk from our hotel room directly to the terminal. Also, there is a port shuttle to take you to Arossat from the WTC. Here is a map of the port https://www.barcelona-tourist-guide.com/en/transport/cruise-port/map-of-barcelona-port.html

And for phone number 867-5309. 🤪

This cruise was on HAL. Not sure why they didn't in this case.

Me too!

And those 60 minutes before the ship sails is FIRM. Years ago people heading to FLL via DFW the day before our cruise got stranded due to a tornado touchdown. Our flight the day of the cruise was delayed taking off and we nearly missed our cruise. We ran and caught a cab and made it just before the cutoff. Those that were on our flight that had bus transfers did not.

There was only one small 1200 ton ship scheduled to call on Kotor on the 11th, so overcrowding doesn't appear to be the issue. Mistakes can happen. Shoot, we even had one cruise with Silversea that had an itinerary change that we weren't notified about until we boarded the ship. Apparently, someone had miscalculated the distance between ports and some had to be dropped and others added to keep the ship on schedule. That was interesting. I would have hated to be working at the excursion desk onboard. Maybe the port made the decision and just informed Princess or there was some technical reason that Princess had to call it off.

Sorry, I missed that one. I hope everyone that is booked on the Sun makes it to Kotor. It is a gorgeous port.
