Tried to input credit card information but input to the form was blocked. Called MSC and was advised that the block was intentional. MSC does not want the credit card number on the system. Card numbers must be provided to MSC once on board…

Wot? No HMP? Glad to hear it. Square bashing versus swabbing! No choice…HMCS on my cap. Started 160 km North. Stay well. Cheers…

PompeySailor, looks like the ‘sailor’ part of your ‘handle’ is well deserved…but…no HMS listed. Enjoy your Cadbury Easter eggs. Cheers…

For the duck game onboard ship…👍 👍 …or should it be 🦆 🦆. Sorry the ducks aren’t yellow. Cheers…

Wrong side of the road?? For shame…

Wow! Thought my DW was the ‘only’ one with a lamb aversion. Rack of lamb…yummy!

👍 👍 for Murano. When I had finished my lobster, the waiter asked if I would like a second one. I declined graciously. Had to ‘leave room’ for the cheese board.

Super! Just booked the Ruby after a looong spell on NCL and Celebrity. Best regards to you both. Stay well. Cheers!

Off topic personal question, spunks…is your better half Annie?

Talking of first cruises…pre NCL…

👍 👍

AA - very professional and pleasant. One of our top two airlines of choice. The short answer, but phrased differently in conversation, from AA was ‘talk to the Cruise Line’. NCL Air said ‘No changes could be made once the flights were ticketed’. As stated, the experience for flights in both directions was very good. Would certainly consider using cruise line air again but with very careful thought, investigation and planning.

Interesting. AA wouldn’t talk to us…but…we managed to upgrade to AA Business Class at the airport. All’s well that ends well…

Used NCL Air recently. Chose to go ‘in’ a day early ‘just in case’. Believe that NCL allows a one or two day flight deviation. The NCL Air site is very specific. Flights are chosen for you and cannot be altered once ticketed. I even tried to upgrade. Neither the airline nor NCL would ‘talk to me’. BTW, flights to and from the ship worked out well. Non stop one way; one stop on the return. Different airlines. Guess it’s a case of Caveat Emptor when booking NCL Air…Buyer Beware…

Give aquacars.co.uk a look. May just fit the bill. Cheers!

Did the ‘new’ Canal on the Canal inauguration sailing of the Bliss. Frank Del Rio graced the occasion with a visit to the ship at one of the Locks. BTW, you mention ‘Down Under’. If that’s your home country, gotta tell ya that we want the Ashes back.

Wonder why the itinerary is Central America heavy but excludes any U.S. West Coast stops? A San Diego or San Fran day woulda been nice…

Was on PoA last October. There was a struggle to maintain good service because of the lack of staff. Only once a day cabin service, some specialty and one main dining room closed etc. Still a very enjoyable cruise which included the Napali Coast sail by. Gotta save fuel somehow but not sure how much of a difference this change will make. Environmental sensibility, which is a good thing, is among the latest catch phrases. Cheers!

Applied, by appointment in person, at a Service Canada Office on February 7. New passport hand delivered on February 20. Impressive! Waiting for return of cancelled passport which, I was told, was delayed internally but should arrive by mid month.

On one QM2 transAtlantic crossing, men entered the dining room wearing a jacket but were not stopped from removing the jacket and placing it on the back of the chair.

Submitted passport renewal documentation, in person, at a Service Canada office on February 7. The new passport was hand delivery February 27. Woo hoo!

Ouch!

Have also had the Lobster Thermidor. Rather subpar and rubbery on the Pride of America last October but excellent on the Norwegian Dawn in January. Go for it! Enjoy…

Good choice! The Sole Grenobloise is my Better Half’s choice at Le Bistro and is usually excellent.
