Why are you going to do that? To hold up the line? Please don't waste their time.

Have a great trip. Looking forward to your report.

Laughing again, I just looked at the reactions to my posts and see I posted basically the same thing back in July of 2022.

HA! HA! In 1997, we did a land vacation at an AI in Jamaica for our 20th anniversary. There was a small tax to depart. The lady at the airport in front of us said she had spent all her money and could not pay the tax. She also said please make me stay. They did not.

We had never missed a port (unless you count getting to Fort Lauderdale 2 days late because of a hurricane or an entire cruise cancelled due to Covid). Then we went on the NCL Prima last summer, London (Southampton) to Reykjavik, and missed 2 ports. The ports were Zebrugges for Brugge for according to them an extremely low tide and Isafjordur, Iceland that they missed on every single one of their cruises because the dock was not finished and they said the ship's lifeboats were not certified to be used as tenders.

WOW! You showed incredible patience reading through 23 pages! And it looks like today is the 3 year anniversary of the start of this thread.

Thank you for sharing the details of your trip with all of us.

The author again is Phillip Norman. Let me give you all of the titles. John Lennon: The Life Paul McCartney: The Biography George Harrison: The Reluctant Beatle (the one I am reading now) There are also biographies by him of Eric Clapton. Elton John, and Mick Jagger. Also, there are books about the Beatles.

Also, you can find the roll call for your cruise and see if there are any fellow passengers who have booked private tours and are looking for others to join.

I do hope we eventually get to see Stonehenge. And I see in the list at the front of the George Harrison biography that the author, Phillip Norman, has also written biographies of John Lennon and Paul McCartney,

Isn't everyone a big Beatles' fan? I am actually at the moment reading a biography of George Harrison, George Harrison The Reluctant Beatle by Phillip Norman. It is quite interesting. No, we never rebooked the cruise. We did get to see some Norwegian fjords this past summer on an NCL Prima cruise, London (Southampton) to Reykjavik.

I wonder if we were booked on the same cancelled cruise. I don't remember the Princess ship's name, but it was a Norwegian fjords cruise out of Southampton in August. We cancelled with a refundable deposit before final payment as we saw they could not possibly sail this itinerary. They did not cancel the cruise until after final payment was due. When I went to the roll call and said we were cancelling because how could they possibly do this cruise, I saw someone else had just booked the cruise and joined the roll call.

Do they actually just advise that, or is really that they will not sell the excursion to you unless your flight meets that requirement?

I looked at the International Friends tour of Stonehenge before our cruise this past summer from Southampton, but there was a minimum amount of days you had to be staying in London and we were only staying one day. (And all it did that days was pour. We ended up spending something like 8 hours in the British Museum, easy for my art teacher wife, but hard on me.)

Glad you made it there! And your pictures are beautiful!
