How exactly? Which cruise lines are you thinking of?

Manulife also offers this (premium protection plan they call it).

It's under the profile, under the name of your next sailing there is "select a different cruise" and then within there at the bottom is "browse our ships".

I have one additional piece of info to add to the puzzle. I'm with Koodo (Telus discount brand) and they don't support wifi calling outside Canada (boo!). They also charge $14/day for roaming which is RIDICULOUS. I found out I can disable the "Roam like Home" add-on in my plan settings. If you do that, receiving/making phone calls will cost $1.50/min (if I recall correctly) and there's no charge for incoming text messages. So my new setup is: 1. Buy a local e-sim for destination data usage (if desired - I always desire, LOL) 2. Set phone to use the e-sim for data and the normal sim for calls/texts 3. If I receive any calls while abroad, tell the person I will call them right back, so the charge is only $1.50. I'm VERY unlikely to receive 10 calls a day so I will never exceed the $14. 4. Call them back using Whatsapp or VOIP on wifi or data.

Just book it as a double and call in to remove the second person. The reservations reps are happy to do this for you.

You can certainly do it by calling in if the app won't let you.

It's an espresso machine, I don't think they have drip coffee.

I'm not certain, I might be remembering the total instead of the per person. Sorry!

You also don't have to. It will just take longer at the port if you haven't done it, but it's not a big deal.

We stayed at the Hyatt House last time we went. It has a free airport shuttle, and a $30 per person cruise port shuttle. It was a very nice hotel, the rooms have kitchenettes and living rooms, and it's located in a nice area with a ton of restaurants. Oh, free breakfast too. On the shuttle we met people who were staying at the Hyatt Place and they said it was also very nice (basically right next door so same area).

Thanks. They are telling me it can be applied to excursions but only after they board. But nobody wants to wait until they board to book their excursions! Hopefully if I keep at them we can get this sorted.

I'm a travel agent, and I booked some clients on an Azamara cruise. They got $750 in OBC with their booking, under the "Three Free Nights" promo. Now Azamara is telling me that this is "flash OBC" and can't be used on excursions, it can only be used once they get on board. I can't find anything in the terms & conditions about this. Has anyone experienced this? Is this an actual thing? Thanks!!

It's in September of this year, so definitely not more than a year out!

I booked a cruise on Saturday. In the app today, I can see the cruise there, but I can't see any excursions, beverage packages, etc. Does it take a few days to be able to access that stuff?

I would personally want to plan to spend at least 3 hours. Transportation there is easy if you are walkers. From the pier in Sorrento, it's about a 15 minute (pure guesstimate based on memory) walk to the train station. There are frequent trains to Pompeii and there's no transfers required. Hop on and when you get to the Pompeii stop, it's literally right across the street. We wandered around on our own and occasionally glommed onto other people's tours for 5 minutes or so at a time just to hear a few tidbits. Amazing, amazing place. One of my top 10 things I've seen in my life.

On Regal all they have is the gelato sundaes. They're not that great. They're fine and all but if you didn't have plus, definitely not worth $12 which is what they charge for them.

The website implies that soda is not included in the classic package, is that true?? That seems crazy.

Thanks!! You rock!

Thanks! Is the iced tea the sweetened or unsweetened kind?

I've Googled and combed through Norwegian's FAQ but I can't seem to find the answer to this anywhere (everything is just telling me what's included in the beverage package). What can you drink for free if you don't have a package? Presumably tap water and normal coffee/tea? Is there anything else like iced tea or lemonade that's free?

The vast, vast majority of places accept credit these days, especially post-pandemic. Visa/MC most accepted, Amex somewhat accepted, the rest you will probably have trouble.

Just got off Emerald, they had a table with waters and sodas near the exit at all the ports.

They mean the primary series (2 doses for most). If you have 1 booster you're good.

Part C - It's not cheap, but this place is right at the cruise terminal: https://fast-test.ca/pan-pacific/ I can't say if it would be covered.

Honestly, I'm not really sure, I am guessing it was part of a promotion. I've re-fared this cruise so many times I kind of lost track of all the promotions, LOL. This is what it looks like in my payments screen:
