The Marella prices are there online now for Colours of the Far East, at least they are for the cruise leaving on 24th January.

Thanks for that. I’ve just checked on line and the excursions are now available.

Hi. It was for the Asian excursions that I checked as we are cruising there in January and as yet we cannot find the definite prices with Marella.

Cruising excursions does give a good idea of what’s on offer.

Just checked prices for cruising excursions.com and they are very expensive.

It’s an easy walk to the centre. No need to take a taxi unless you have mobility issues.

I know this doesn’t help but the terminal doesn’t have room for more than one ship.

Travel insurance would cover the deposit if the holiday was cancelled for a valid reason and in the insurance company's terms and conditions.

You can also get a card from reception free of charge.

AI also includes non alcoholic drinks.

Sorry. Meant to say that it was in the shower.

There was a line for hanging washing in the inside cabins of Discovery 2. It wasn't very big.

I would suggest that you spend all of your CUC as you will lose out when you exchange them for US Dollars.

It's called the Marella Celebration and it is now owned by Tui, which is, I believe, the parent company.

According to the captain there is a five year plan for the Celebration and it is having a four week refurbishment in November.

I was on that cruise and had a great time. Will write a review soon.

Thanks for your replies. Will go slightly earlier and hope parking will be ok.

Have booked assistance at the same airport. Have used it before so know that it's good.

Six of us are going on the Spirit of Iberia next week. We did two separate bookings. We have been able to check in on line but the others have been unable to do so.

The Tui travel agent has told the others to arrive at the airport three hours before the flight, which I think is too early.

My wife's elderly parents are going and one of them needs a wheelchair. We were going to take this and their luggage as we have a bigger car. Our car is booked in about two hours before the flight and it's non flexible. The other four are going in another car.

Any ideas or suggestions. We are going from Newcastle airport if that's any help.

Should have added that when you do your internet search you can sign up for emails from firms offering discounts which can be from 10-20%.

It's less that, particularly if you book ahead. Try an internet search for parking at Newcastle airport and you should get a much cheaper quote.

I usually use park and fly which is often the cheapest.

Yes!

Best to exchange gbp in Cuba as there is a 10% penalty on exchanging US dollars. You can exchange euros at no extra penalty if you have them. Spend all your Cuban currency as you will lose out on exchanging your money back.

You can also check 'What's in Port?' using Google.

I find that economy is fine for 787, but some may find otherwise.

I believe that the Explorer is not in service yet but will be the converted Mien Schiff.

There is an article in Which about Brexit but it refers to border crossings, free emergency health care, low cost flights and flight delay compensation. It does state that there is some uncertainty about these matters at the moment.

The water they were in is basically hot spring water.

You can often book parking using the internet for cheaper.
