Not true - you can keep checking fares continually before final payment. I have done it for the past year (fares never got lower only ridiculously higher). BUT I just had a major issue. A month after FINAL payment I called and had my flights ticketed so I could look at upgrading and BOOM - I was hit with an additional cost of $2200 for my flights and sent an invoice from HAL via my TA. It was a MISTAKE and it took my TA over 2 hours to get it straightened out and nearly gave me a heart attack. They got it fixed but KEEP AN EYE ON THINGS.

I have cleared my cache and browsing history but I can’t log into the m booking. Any suggestions?

That’s good to know - we are on the Best of Norway cruise so I don’t think we’ll be in the more open waters. It will still be worth it.

Great - many years ago we had an aft cabin on an Alaska cruise and I love getting up early in my pj’s and watching us go into port. I envision this being similar. I love aft cabins and the sound of the wake so soothing for the soul. Can’t wait to experience the music venues too. This is why I chose HAL (1st timers). Usually sail Celebrity or Azamara.

I can’t wait - hope it’s warm enough in July

Thank you - the cabin looks wonderful. We’ll be on Rotterdam. Is there much vibration/noise in the cabin. Enjoying your reporting.

Would you post some pics of the cabin? We are in 4182 in July

What cabin are you in? It looks like deck 4. Loving your report - I’ll be onboard in July.

I used Amsterdam Cruise Port Terminal on my booking and gave the name of the ship. I also downloaded their app on my phone.

Hope you will post comments if you don’t post pictures.

Thank you - good information. Enjoy your cruise and I hope you post pictures

I am using Welcome Pickups - I haven’t personally used them but know someone who has used them multiple times in various ports. https://www.welcomepickups.com/amsterdam/

THANKS

Make sure that you alert you credit card company(s) that you are traveling. Many years ago someone on one of tours hadn’t done that and had a mess trying to use his credit card and get cash.

Good to know - I booked these last year when airfares were A LOT cheaper and I would hate to pay today’s prices if something is screwed up.

Thanks for this information - I have booked using cruiseline air before with Celebrity/Azamara but a bit nervous using Flight Ease. I check my flights almost daily. Had several schedule changes and always get a notice but didn’t get one on the change about a week ago. I like your user name - I am also a Native Floridian (10th generation).

How do you know for sure that they’ve been ticketed? I am able to see the reservation online in My Trips with Delta.

When do airline tickets using Flight Ease actually get ticketed? I am flying in July.

This is the road in Montenegro - 25 hairpin turns - single lane road with 2-way traffic. Never again.

No way on earth I’d be able to do that drive. Thanks for the picture it’s worth 1000 words.

My husband is on the 10am Panorama tour. I plan on just wandering around town and we are doing a 2pm RIB tour. Getting so excited about this cruise! Kathy

Thanks for the responses - I WON’T be doing this tour. While it looks great I think my husband will go and take pictures. Going to do the RIB tour in the afternoon.

I did - thanks

THANK YOU - this is what I was afraid of. Not for me!! I did the drive up and down with 25 switchbacks in Montenegro with a single lane and barely survived it with sheer panic. At some points we’d have to back up to let a tour bus maneuver by (we were in an 8 pax van. I swore never again. I will be sending my husband - he can take the great pictures.

I am looking at the bus tour that goes to the top of Mt Dalsnibba in Geiranger and wanted more information on what the actual drive is like getting to the top. I know it’s a winding road with hairpin turns but are there deep drop offs? Are there guardrails? I don’t deal with heights very well and barely survived the drive up and down in Montenegro. I’d like to do this tour but don’t want to be scared.
