Hello all I have recently booked and paid in full two Pullmantur Cruises through a travel agent in Buenos Aires as that is where I am currently living. The travel agent says that Pullmantur will send the tickets/vouchers one month before sailing date. Is that the way they normally do this? Are they emailed? Thanks for your help

I booked an 11 night on the Koningsdam yesterday Was a great price $1,349- single in an inside room I see that there are many vacant cabins so I guess the price will fall further but I am happy with the price I paid and with luck the upgrade Fairy may call!!

I am glad I booked. I booked this cruise only a few days ago and got a cabin on Deck 11 There are now no cabins left on deck 11 (I like the higher decks) and the cost has gone up by over $200

thank you all for your suggestions. I have emailed guest care as suggested as nothing else works,

Thank you all for your replies, I currently live in Buenos Aires in Argentina and I booked the cruise through the Carnoval Call Centre in the USA

I have tried all the above suggestions but still no joy

Anyways Feliz Navidad to all

Thank you

Hi there, I am trying to make the final payment on my upcoming cruise and when I log into the Carnival site and I select the red 'Pay Now' button nothing happens. I cannot get to a screen where I input my credit card details to pay. What am I missing? Sadly I have been chatting with Carnival on Facebook as I cannot call them from the country I am currently in and they are no help at all. I appreciate any assistance Thank you

We used Dora De Zubiria and she was fabulous. Pick up and dropoff was at the port.

 

The email is dora@cartagenatour.com

 

Take a look at the reviews on tripadvisor. That's how we found her and it was a truly wonderful day.

I too vote for Dora One of the best tours I have done. She was professional and provided a great tour.

The legal age to drink and smoke and vote in Australia is 18. I wish it was the same as the States and was 21

When I was on the Ryndam several years ago there was a small free Steam/Sauna available for passengers, you did not need to pay the Spa Membership to use these. Is this still the same on Veendam and Zaandam? I have looked at the deck plans and it looks like this may be the case but was hoping that someone who has been on these ships lately can confirm. Thanks

I phoned HAL regarding my two SA bookings. Got the fare reduced by AUD$640 on one and a small increase on the other (VA to BA) Each booking got the USD$100 drink voucher and USD$562- in total gratuities paid . Overall about $1600 AUD in savings. Thanks for bringing my attention to this sale. Worth the call to HAL

Looking forward to following your trip. Have a great cruise

We did that cruise (no Antarctica approach) on the Zaandam in a balcony due to a reasonable upsell from an OV on Main. This was good for three adults! But we really used the balcony very little: Glacier Alley, then hopping in and out for photos, and my mom bundled up and read on the lounger just to prove she loved having it! I don't think my husband set foot on it. However it is a very big window!

 

We are doing Alaska on the Zaandam sister Volendam, with 3 OVs and an inside (because that couple decided to come along after all the adjacent OV's were booked). After the experience with the balcony in SA, it seems for us being a few steps from the largest balcony on the ship is enough!

 

All that said, are you in the fore cluster of E cabins, or the ones by the aft elevator/doors? I have different answers...

Thank you,I have 3328

Hello all, I have one of the 'E' Class cabins on the Lower Promenade for the Va to BA Cruise around the horn in January. Has anyone been in these cabins and can comment on what they are like. Thank you

I sailed on both ships and I think they are the same class. I found Vision to be very enjoyable and expected Legend to be the same but of my 6 or 7 RC cruises, Legend was my least favorable ship. I cant recall why I found it very disappointing other than the "unique" men's room set up. :confused:

 

I would gladly sail Vision again but my one cruise on Legend will be my only one.

Hello, may I ask what was the 'unique' men's room setup.

Thank you

Hello all. I will be joining the Veendam in Rio De janeiro for the second part of a longer cruise which had started in Fort Lauderdale. From cruisers who have previously done this how is the boarding experience. What time are you usually allowed to board the ship? Any other information greatly appreciated. Thanks

Thanks Kirk, great reading. I have also been in contact with Gil. Bruce

Thanks Kirk. Did you join the Cruise in Rio? How far is the terminal from the Carnival parades? Was it difficult to get to and from the ship? Who did you book the private land tours through? Which ones would you recommend/not recommend

Thank you, Bruce

Hi there fellow CC's I am booked on the Amazon and Carnaval Explorer Feb 2017 and I am trying to find reviews from others who have done this cruise. I am particularly interested in the 'getting on and off' whilst in Rio for the first 3 nights and also the Amazon component. If any one can direct me to a review of this cruise last year I would be really grateful. Have a great day and thanks.

Our passage was relatively smooth and remember its only for part of one day. I'd be more afraid of helping to spread the Zika Virus.

Aedes mosquitoes spread the Zika Virus, not humans.

My family was on anthem of the seas, this past week. I think royal needs to be more aware of passengers safety and avoiding storms. I think the only way for royal to hear us, is if all disgruntled passengers, boycott RCL until changes are made, such as the captain being fired. And addressing and making new regulations on how to handle storms. Look i have heard from many of people on board that captain thought he could out run this storm, and storm blew up and they got caught. Many meteorologists have stated this storm was expected. We passenger sneed to demand better safety. It can't alway be big cooperations dictating there bottom line to us. Remember without us, they would have empty ships. I have been loyal to royal for over 15 yrs, but I don't want to see this happen again, new jersey is a new port and they should set up different regulations and more training for there captains.

Since you ar enot going to use RCL again, can I have your 50% discount voucher that they were giving out to cruisers on that particular cruise. Thanks

Sent you the following via Red Triangle option, but you may see it faster here:

THIS is obviously a poster making a Very BLATANT Attempt to rile the feathers of everyone on every single Hot Button Topic in cruising and most especially HAL.

 

Might I suggest this thread get pulled immediately?
