Was just going to ask about this but a previous poster has allayed my fears. My HAL boarding pass only has my first and last name (as per my passport) so I'm guessing there should be no issues at embarkation this Saturday!

Ok, thanks for the clarification, Ruth. That's what I thought, I just couldn't remember how it worked.

I'm going on my 3rd HAL cruise next month and it's been awhile. I am going on a 7 day, port-intensive cruise and so getting the Signature Beverage Package doesn't seem worth it to me. So I just plan on doing what I have always done and buy a beverage card. What I can't remember is do I have access to any top shelf brands if I have the card, or do I need one of the beverage packages for that?

Thanks for the replies. @Globaliser as a matter of fact, those are my exact flights. Yes, I believe there are around 6 flights per day from CDG to VCE so even if the worst case scenario happened there would be plenty of other options to get to the cruise port in time. What I wasn't sure about was if Air France would assist me in that regard if I didn't book directly with them, which you both have assured me they will.

I am going on a HAL cruise next month and found what I thought to be a decent business class fare on Flight Ease so I booked it. I fly on Air France from YYZ-CDG-VCE (cruise departing from Trieste). Currently, I would be arriving in VCE 24 hours before my cruise departs. My connection time at CDG is 2h50m and originally, I didn't think much of it. But I have heard too many horror stories about connecting there and now I'm wishing I'd given myself more time. If anything were to go wrong, such as a flight delay in YYZ, there is a good chance I might not make it. My question is, since I booked with Flight Ease, would they be solely responsible for arranging another flight if I missed my connection, or would Air France put me on the next available flight despite me not booking directly with them? Also, does anyone know if there is a fast track option thru security checkpoints for connecting biz class passengers? Also one more question: does anyone know what gate (K, L, or M) at terminal 2E AF flights generally arrive at from NA?
