  1. I have seen several roll calls for cruises that are now being cancelled due to the problems In and around Israel and the Suez Canal. These Roll calls just seem to grind to a halt and are left - After a certain period could they not be cancelled? They are cluttering up the calendar when trying locate new cruises.
  2. Hi @chris301up you seem to be following this thread rather than the other so hope this finds you. Having got transport to the ship sorted if you post which cruise you are on we may be able to point you to a "Roll Call" thread where, if it is well supported, you might get some useful tips on the places you visit.
  3. Just as a further thought/warning the eavesway coaches have most of the seats up 4 or5 steps. They only have 2 seats downstairs and you would need to check if they are available before booking, if that would be a problem.
  4. Hi Welcome to cruise critic. We have gone with Eavesway travel once and it was excellent and have booked with them again. We book direct not through the ship. Here is a link to the Princess/P&O which might give an idea of prices and pickup points. They only do transfer for specific cruise lines and you need to get the right one. I could give a more accurate reply if you said which cruise. https://www.eaveswaytravel.com/po-princess-timetables-2024 We have started to use them due mainly to the Rail strikes. There is another firm Intercruises but have not used them. Train wise its not too difficult there is a Cross Country train that goes from Manchester direct to Southampton Via Birmingham ( I think it stops at New St and the Airport one) https://www.google.com/search?q=trains from Birmingham to Southampton April 4 WE used that a couple of times but the times changed and the trains from Preston to Birmingham didnt match well with the cross country train. They seemed to have more luggage space than Avanti.
  5. If you include Euston as a central London station that is not quite true. I find the steps in the Underground quite a nightmare and would rather take a bus to Waterloo when heading for Southampton than negotiate them with a suitcase - even worse on the return.! All the money they have spent over the years on Euston and still they dont have access to the Underground platforms. Its disgraceful.
  6. Thanks for the replies, I was hoping someone who had been there done that might respond. It doesnt affect me a lot but some on the cruise are hoping to get a real early start to try and catch the morning plane from Anchorage. Its a 7 day crossing from Japan so its a long flight to get officers on the ship. I have experienced officers being on board for shorter routes and did wonder. We do get there at 00.30 so yes they could get officials there from Anchorage but what time does the tunnel open? or maybe they are allowed through at any time. I will post back when I have been 🙂
  7. ok - I am out of ideas, hope you have success in finding the records or "no record held " and you get to go on your cruise.
  8. NY eh looks a bit difficult : https://newyork.recordspage.org/arrest-criminal-records/?gclid=CjwKCAiA8NKtBhBtEiwAq5aX2PbBMQvU9FciW5nSgngukH76WG5LXpRdSL--KM0RoMfUW9z0ijj1thoCyRsQAvD_BwE
  9. Well I never knew that 🙂 How about this https://ourpublicrecords.org/public-records/ if you have not tried. They only found 23 people that fit my name and age ?? I dont have a record that shows , not that I was expecting one.
  10. I am sure this must have been asked before but cant find it. We are on a cruise from Japan to Whittier Alaska which will be our first entry on this trip into the US. Having spent several hours on a first entry to the US in Boston last year I am wondering what they will do in Whittier where I would assume the authorities will not have the manpower available. Second and third ports are Sitka and Juneau then we are back into Canada. Anyone know?
  11. Maybe a cheap way to find more info would be to apply for an ETA? If that was rejected it would give a reason?
  12. I did a dummy booking and it seemed to work ok for me? Maybe try using VPN?
  13. Another thing is you should take a copies of your passport and another gov issued picture id driving licence ? . Reason- whilst you may not need any visas there will almost certainly be others on the ship who do and the ship may collect all the passports and get the visas for a fee? If they do that you need to make sure you are not charged for one. We were on Holland America so no idea what R C might do.
  14. Singapore =you need to do an on line entry card details here https://www.ica.gov.sg/enter-transit-depart If you have a UK passport it must have at least 6 months left on it on the day you leave. You do not need a visa. I found the online card a bit messy so would check it out before you need to apply. Whilst it sounds like a MUST have if you have problems getting it done there are facilities in the airport and people to help with them before you reach immigration, But its probably not something you want to do after long flight.
  15. This is all very amusing. Here in the UK you cant get your medallions sent you HAVE to collect them at the port.
