Schengen has no bearing on tax regulations. It requires a port outside of the EU tax area, such as Gibraltar, a UK port, or as mentioned Kotor or Sarande, Denmark...to limit the tax liability.

Booked a GTY stateroom last week and noticed this paragraph on the HAL Booking Confirmation, which says it all!

@Lunalovegood_6 Ignore the information you have received about being able to cancel and rebook - that really only applies in N. America, certainly not in Ireland nor UK. (There are workarounds, but usually only if you have previously purchased Cruise Deposit certificates from the relevant cruise line.) There is no problem in mentioning the cruise line. That is why C. C. has individual fora for each cruise line, and that is where you will find most relevant information. This forum is mostly used by N. Americans and you will have to weed your way through the information to find the correct info for EU countries. Even this thread being moved to the UK Cruiser forum shows how much the forum can be out of touch with the world outside of N. America. However, welcome to the forum, it can be a great resource for cruise information as well as giving a few laughs.

Been there a few times but stayed onboard the last few! I am aware of the staggered arrivals, but was thinking more if the safety aspect with 500 cruisers waiting on the dock. Slowing the tenders will not help reduce those numbers but sending empty tenders would reduce numbers on dock and slow arrival numbers too. But, not our problemo!

Sorry, it was a rhetorical question, with head scratching involved.

If there are 500 passengers waiting for tenders back to the ship why would the authorities reduce the number of tenders? It would make more sense to require an increase in number of empty tenders servicing the dock to remove the waiting passengers.

Just coming up to 4pm on a Wednesday and the security wait time for T2 (Aer Lingus) is 5 minutes! You can see the wait times in the banner at the top of the linked page. It is also the link to purchase Fast Track. https://www.dublinairport.com/enhance-your-journey/fast-track The carryon will have no effect presuming that liquids are less than 100 ml each.

I believe it is a group arranged by an Australian Travel Agency. They arrange cruise plus flights plus hotels etc. for the group. I don't believe there is any other bond between the travellers.

Again I would ask if anyone finds info on groups to please post to the latest thread. It serves a twofold purpose.....first, i can use that info in the next update, and second, it gives me a source to monitor for further events!

I know what happens this side of the pond is probably irrelevant, but I just did that for a 2026 cruise. Courtesy hold on Friday night and email to PCC on Monday morning (having first checked for any advantageous price change 😉). Monday evening I received Booking Confirmation with FCD applied as deposit. All good.

Just aarived in Malaga this evening by air. The flight was full. The airport is very busy. Air traffic is using both runways, one take offs and one landings. The car hire parking is quite empty of cars. I booked a small car and have been given a Suzuki Vitara automatic for the booked price 😁. We will see tomorrow how crowdwd the street are in what should be the shoulder season.

We used the hop on hop off buses. A stop at Oceankaj and numerous in the city centre. Maybe not the fastest way in, but it worked for us.
