We were on that London (Southampton) to Reykjavik cruise last August and never had more than a few minutes wait at Hudsons. On the first day I had asked if we could reserve a table by one of the windows for the sea day between Norway and Iceland for our wedding anniversary and was told it was all first come first served, but when we showed up that evening and presented the card saying it was our anniversary, they took us right to a table by one of the windows.

My DW is a retired art teacher, but she was still an active elementary art teacher when we landed in Paris on our 40th anniversary. We were not going to miss Monet's gardens. She wanted a tee shirt, but they all seemed to be either large or kid sizes, and she needed small. She found just one. The checkout clerk said this will never fit you and opened it from its package and held it up to her. It was a perfect fit. And yes, it is one of the most beautiful spots on Earth.

And there were no questions asked?

And I wonder what story a passenger would come up with when asked why do you have all your luggage with you for this port stop.

And it is hard for them not to notice that you have all your luggage!

Enjoy Paris! While waiting in the line to check our baggage for our flight in March to Amsterdam, I struck up a conversation with a young couple. They were going to Paris. I strongly suggested that though it is outside of Paris that they visit Monet's Gardens. I'm now giving you the same advice.

👍, way to go.

You cannot just claim you just missed the ship when you disembark with your luggage. 🤦‍♂️

And it does not really matter what answers are provided in this forum as the only answer that really matters is from the cruise line.

I would not hold my breath waiting for that call. But have your parents document all of this, the calls and the broken promises to call back for their credit card dispute.

But can you say the same for the employees of the Cruise Next desk?

Sorry, I don't know.

I knew him a long time ago. He owned Fallsburg Lumber.

The best country concert I ever attended had Willie Nelson as the lead attraction. Merle Haggard and Ray Price were also on the bill. This was at Bethel Woods which is at the site of the original Woodstock concert in 1969 (which I also attended.) I have also seen Willie Nelson 2 other times there after the first show I mentioned.

Oh well, DW is a retired teacher. I guess she does not qualify.
