Apparently,after three years of travel restrictions, the covid vaccine requirement for foreign air arrivals in the US ends on 11th May.Nothing on the CDC website as yet but on the whitehouse website What the script for cruises is I haven,t a scooby doo

We did a late booking last October on a heavily discounted price and flight availability from our local airport which was unusual Booked on the Tuesday and flew out on the Friday.On our many Marella cruises we,ve always selected our cabin but on that occassion we didn,t get the choice due to lateness of our booking so Marella allocated our cabin.Couldn,t have picked a better cabin myself

With B on this Reading your post I,d think its not worth you upgrading We always stick to the standard drinks package as theres enough on their to keep our whistles wet

Our inbound was 14-20 but now the same as yours Nice quiet roads for drive home

Be surprised if your outbound flight time will change now Scotstravellers What time is your return flight?

Received an email yesterday on flight time changes for a 3rd time but its suits us as its earlier outbound and earlier inbound Initially outbound 10-50 am,then it changed to 8-45 am and now 7-45 am Even though we are staying overnight at airport hotel it,ll be a Dark ‘O’ Clock rise for us and miss out on free breakfast but we,ll have access to the lounge at the airport Every Cloud

Yeah know the feeling RR

Order a drink,pick up glass,open mouth,swallow Easy

You might be wishing you went to Millport after your cruise 😉😅 Seriously,,sure you,ll have a whale of a time and as B says,it becomes addictive

Geezo Just for the record,I,m a proud working(ex)class scotsman and not offended by anything posted regards Scots or working class on this thread or said to me in person Sadly we walk on egg shells in a society of easily offended We are all Jock Tamsons bairns after all Those of English persuasion will need to google that 🤣

We were born with two hands,pointless leaving one idle 😉

Hi B Hoping its an aircraft with wings,a roof,seats and a pilot 🤣 Its short haul,Palma

Our isn,t “Your flight will be operated by AlbaStar flight crew, and an on-board service will be delivered by AlbaStar cabin crew, ensuring the same high service standards as a TUI Airways flight.” Sunwings? We have been with them a number of times

Similar RR Received an email this efty on a change of inbound flights for our cruise Outbound with BA which we knew of but inbound is now with AlbaStar 🤔

Hi Scotstravellers Would appreciate your thoughts positive or negative on your return as we are on the cruise/stay in July also from Glasgow

An UberX(max 4 people)from Port Canaveral to KSC would be roughly $60-$80 return depending on traffic etc As you say admission $75 on the day,$64 if you purchase your ticket from the many reliable uk ticket sellers

Kinda like Ryanair flight to Paris when its actually Beauvais 50 odd miles away 😅

I,ll PM you my address 😅

Nancy We didnt hesitate to book the America cruise as we had booked it a few years ago only for it to be pulled as they scrapped the Dream and pulled the Discovery in to cover its itineraries so once Marella brought it back we booked it Direct flight from Glasgow on a Sunday so it suits us fine Ps Dont hesitate too long Nancy as it appears this seasons American cruises with Marella are a one off,well certainly for a year as not on their itineraries for 2024.Seem strange considering the amount of money thrown at Melbourne Airport

Hi Nancy Hope your well Nice to see you back even if it is for just a short while…Yep,I,m still here,like a rash you cant get rid off😅 Not recent but we were on Discovery last July.Great first 3 days and was shaping up to being another great cruise until Covid struck myself and Mrs JTS.Self isolation cabin for the rest of cruise.To make up for it we went away on Explorer in October and had a great time.It was a late,late booking so got it at a really great price.We booked it something like the Tuesday and flew out on the Friday Still cruising with Marella as they,re still doing it for us so away on America cruise on Discovery in July then the Med on Voyager in October

Thanks for the great review beckyboo,glad you enjoyed it Back in the day cruise reviews were fairly regular read on this forum but sadly not much now. We were on Explorer in October and enjoyed it

Sure I will MC Mrs JTS has been to NY twice and its always been in my bucket list so looking forward to it Look forward to your review on your return 👍

We,ve booked 9/11 Museum&Memorial excursion Pity we didnt,t have an idea where we,ll be docked.Be handy if it is close enough for a short taxi run in as we fancied just jumping on the City hop on hop off tour bus

Thanks again MC Just checked my Cruise Control and excursions are available for our cruise now Myself and Mrs JTS are going to look at them tonight in detail

Hi MC, Wow,thanks for info,appreciated We paid our balance yesterday which is early so guessing excursion wont be available until the actual due balance date.Will check later though Hopefully some of the NY excursions are limited walking as have mobility issues but will do the Nine Eleven Memorial no matter
