  1. I thought the letters shown on the diagram match those on the platform.
  2. They don’t show the fee as a separate item on a bill. It is built into the exchange rate they give you. If you have ever had to correct a charge immediately, you can tell. If there is no fee, there is almost no difference between the charges. If there is a fee of 2.5% say, the reversal will be about 5% less than the original charge. I can’t believe that AMEX goes through a conversion to US$ and then to CAD$. I have never had that with Visa ans Mastercard.
  3. To be honest, even if there are formal nights she doesn’t need evening dresses from everything I have read here.
  4. I assumed that the choice was to fly from Dublin at all, rather than another airport.
  5. We will be the smallest of 3 ships in port on arrival in Flåm on June 26. Does anyone have any guess which one might be docked?
  6. Yes, but it might be the difference between a backpack and a rolling carry-on suitcase. (Personally, I would never travel with anything but a single rolling suitcase and a backpack, but that is me.)
  7. Exactly. I can't gate check my carry on, because I have medication that I need to take regularly. I have occasionally pulled it out to put in my purse or maybe a knapsack, but I would NEVER gate check luggage with my medication in it.
  8. If you don't have room for 4 pieces of luggage under the bed put the carryons into the larger suitcases.
  9. I’m sorry I turned my Oyster Card in when I could still get my £5 back. I would prefer to keep it separate from my credit card. However, that was in 2019 and I’m not sure when I will be back in London so it was probably for the best.
  10. You have to get up early because you have to be out of your cabine fairly early (usually 8 am).
  11. It sounds like we are on the same cruise. I agree with you about the Viking Village, but the excursion should get me back in time to do the 2:55 Flåm Railway which I have already booked. (I was worried about that one because of the timing, but Silversea has a Flåm Railway excursion that is on this trip, so I think that I will be OK.)
  12. I would choose the cruise. In fact, my morning included excursion (which was to include both the cruise and Stegastein Viewpoint) has been cancelled, and replaced with the cruise and a visit to the Viking Village at Gudvagen but not the viewpoint. And it is now an extra cost excursion, but I’m sticking with it.
  13. Not experience, but it is definitely not the way it should be. However, I don't believe that waiting until the after cruise survey to say anything was the right way to go about it. As I said in the previous post, I would have arranged to talk to the chef.
  14. I really think you had a weird chef. After no more than 2 days in your situation I would have asked to speak to the chef.
