shouldn't they know? that answer is yes. but even in the ranks of the PCC there is a varying amount of knowledge and to some extent caring. all too often a CSR takes the quick answer rather than verifying. As I also mentioned, your PCC mentioned the newest four ships, which cover two classes of ship.

The solo cabins are all the way forward and are category 'OO', not 'AO'.

Not all people manning the phones at any large organization are 'up to speed' on everything. As far as I know the solo cabins on the 3 newest ships (Koningsdam, Nieuw Statendam, and Rotterdam) still exist. I am in one in two months. The next oldest ship is a signature class and never had a solo cabin.

I don't think I would trust the random CSR on a chat with this answer. Sometimes they seem to come up with an answer without checking based on what they think the answer should be.

In addition to what has been said. Many years ago I had a driver in Halifax. Our first stop was to get CDN. We then had a very nice day tour. At the end I asked if he would prefer USD or CND. He asked for USD. His reason - he travels across the boarder frequently and likes to have a stash of USD rather than having to exchange.

There are many reasons why a guarantee is the only option, a segment of a WC is only one of them. For example, as the ship fills in various categories the system will only allow guarantees in those categories. Sometimes the particular offer is for a guarantee only.

It was a nice, comfortable, hotel. Pretty good restaurant across the street. I had an easy time walking to several interesting places, including a three level shopping area with a McDonalds.

Please post a few, everyone has a different perspective. Many times your photos may show something that someone else didn't see, or didn't see in the same way.

my Porto, Part 2

I have mentioned a couple of time that I took a 14 day land trip between two cruises a few years ago. Porto was one of the places I stayed for a short 3 days. I wish it had been more. The first two pictures are of the area around my hotel, then the hotel itself. The rest are around Porto, many from the HoHo bus.
