    Disembarking

    We are scheduled to be on a cruise that pulls into Lisbon on the second to last day, overnights in Lisbon and then disembarks. We are considering taking a very early flight (6:30 am) and I was wondering if anyone knew if we could exit the ship whenever we like since it had already been there for 24 hours. Any insights?
  3. My advice would be to start aggressively trolling their social media posts. Be persistent and comment on every one of their posts. Something to the effect of "You have time to post advertisements on FB but no time to call me back after X days?" I have used this tactic previously on other companies (Comcast for example) and it is no surprise that someone gets back to you very quickly. You become the loudest voice and they will want to placate and silence you. I don't do it often but it sure does work.
  4. Thank you for the information. However I was really looking to find out whether or not the excursions I booked will be billed onboard or prior to sailing on my credit card on file. Apologies if I wasn't clear.
  5. This may have been answered elsewhere but I don't have time to read through dozens of posts. We have a cruise in July and have a $1200 OBC. The OBC is not showing up on our reservation yet we wanted to book excursions. Is payment for excursions settled onboard or will they charge my credit card since I have $0 OBC showing. Thanks!
  6. Thank you. I figured it wouldn't be a clean process.
  7. Without going into detail as to why I am asking this, but is it possible to transfer a booking made through one travel agent to another? Deposit has been paid and final payment is 8 months out. Thanks
  8. I took my teen kids on a Celebrity cruise a few weeks ago. While the employees were awesome and the food good, the experience left all of us turned off. We will never do a large ship mass market cruise ever again for the exact reasons you state and more.
  9. I did it multiple times throughout the week with about the same results. The last two days it shot up to 100MBS but only a few apps worked and for some reason it was still painfully slow.
  10. I was on the Millennium this week and I tested the speed of my internet on the basic package. It was .21 MPS! You can barely do anything and it was frustrating. It was part of an AI package but if it wasnt, I would have asked for a refund.
  11. The key to my equation is the 9% back on every cruise from my TA. Along with my 4.5% from Chase I got back $1,229 on my $9100 cruise
  12. With the Chase Sapphire Reserve, which gives you essentially 4.5% back on all travel purchases, your $5700 cruise is right at the break even point with the Amex $300 credit. My upcoming Azamara cruise was $9100 and I got back $410. We also use a non-Amex agency which gives us 1/2 of their commission as a reduced fare or OBC.
