Has anyone any knowledge on the availability of taxis at Lisbon cruise port for the airport. Are they readily available at the dock or is it recommended to prebook a taxi for a 14.00pm flight?

I assume from the above that reservations in the UK start at 5am (ie EST plus 5 hours) and not at midnight UK time. Is this correct please?

We have been offered a free upgrade on Koningsdam from Balcony VD on Deck 6 to Balcony Spa VQ on Deck 10. What are peoples thoughts on the VQ cabins and is this an offer we should take please?

Anyone have any personal experience of this hotel for a 2 night pre cruise stay

What are peoples views on which are in general the best nights to make speciality restaurant reservations.

What is best - the first night, sea days, gala days or the last night or do people think it is simply a matter of personal preference

Any opinions please on the best and worst days to make speciality dining reservations ie embarkation days, sea days, gala days and so on. Thanks

How soon before a cruise do the Speciality Dining venues eg Pinnacle Grill andTamarind become available to book online

Can anyone tell me why I am suddenly unable to access details of my flight ease booked flights. The website is "blocked" as being "not secure with the connection not being private" whereas the information has been easily accessible until today. Any advice would be appreciated

We have an evening flight from Miami International after disembarkation in Port Lauderdale and are looking at ways to spend the day to avoid a long wait at the airport. HAL offer a couple of alternative excursions to either the Everglades or Fort Lauderdale. Any views on these would be appreciated.

Also does anyone have any suggestions for alternative things to do with a view to arriving at MIA at about 5pm

Can someone please tell me what type of toiletries are provided in the Quest bathrooms. Are both hair shampoo and shower gel included in the selection of toileties.

Without wishing to labour the point post #6 appears to prove the issue I was trying to raise. For example the list of complimentary spirits in the picture on the link in #6 is much smaller than that on the website. Just taking one example where is the Vermouth on the bar listing? Any thoughts?

I am finding that the more you read on this site the more difficult it becomes to differentiate between fact and fiction. It seem there are suggestions that there may be less variety of spirits, cocktails etc available at the bars onboard than those listed as available on the Azamara website. Surely this cannot be correct. Does anyone have a definitive answer please.

Perhaps I should stop reading the posts on this site and learn from the upcoming actual experience

Can I please have peoples views on whether the $398 LCV upgrade offer is considered to be worthwhile.

We are currently in a Balcony Stateroom on Deck 7 so presumably any upgrade would be to a Club Continent Suite on Deck 8.

Those suites appear to suffer, to varying degrees, from noise from the deck above and soot.

Opinions on the value of the upgrade in this situation would be welcome please.
