  1. Since we do not know the fare codes of your ticket, this question is best addressed to Delta for the best info concerning your particular situation.... Good luck and happy vacation!!!
  2. ... and just in case, have a solid plan B to execute immediately. bon voyage
  3. Hello all - what would a "decent" policy have paid either going or coming from a vacation. Would hotels either at the departure or stop over points be covered while working out alternative transportation to destination? That is if the delay time exceeded the policy would cover. What about car rental to the destination? TIA
  4. Sorry you took ill on your river cruise. A hard lesson learned, especially if you did not read the coverage requirements for foreign travel. Many of us, on Medicare, who do foreign travel do not rely on our Medicare/Medigap Plans to cover any illness/hospitalizations, we (almost always) purchase a third party insurance plan which is primary just in case we get sick while outside the U.S. with very few hoops to jump through other than being certain that all documentation/receipts are saved for submission to the insurer. Pending your age, the price could be a concern, yet were it to be needed, price would not be the issue only reimbursement of the costs shelled out of pocket. Have you called Aetna to confirm they do in fact require hospital billing codes for out of country billing for medical services or if there are other options to get reimbursed, it could be something very simple and easy to do? Good luck and in health...
  5. mn Thank you... I Am interested in a Caribbean sailing for our first outing with AOV... bon voyage
  6. Hello all - I Am not looking for any specifics in terms of names and etc... I Am wanting to find out how most fellow passengers here prefer booking their sailings for AOV. I did sign up for information from AOV's website and requested contact through email and you know what happened next, lots of calls from a TA (which I did not answer/take). And of course, the emails the TA sent made it urgent to book right away for various reasons that at this juncture does not matter to me as I have yet to decide which sailing I want and a few questions for them before placing the deposit. Ultimately, booking direct or using their 'assigned' TA, will using my own vetted TA possibly yield better overall results in terms of communications, good fare structure different from the brochure and possible "discounted" rates, etc.??? With just about most everything 'included' in the fare, just wanting assistance to figure out the best way to book, overall. TIA for your thoughts and input on this bon voyage
  7. hc in which case more valuable than the upgrade, in the short run!!! LOL bon voyage
  8. One additional question on this topic, please. If I understand the consensus correctly, the Horizon Deluxe Stateroom is preferable to Horizon Stateroom even for either a Caribbean or Western Med sailings? TIA and bon voyage
  9. Thank you for this, sometimes "we" forget about T&C's and focus only on our wants and desires... While not always pleasant endings, yet.... those are the T&C's, which often times go unread. bon voyage
  10. In which case, I Am sure she would have offered the OP some type of compensation for the inconvenience... bon voyage
  11. I assure you, it was not me.... LOL Was it you??? bon voyage
  12. Thank you for the follow up, to clarify my comment about balance is in the way of who wants what and when... It is understood, at least by me, that the final decision on what happens in docking is a Government decision. bon voyage
  13. Businesses, yet I have heard (not verified only through news reports) that there are residents who do not want tourists to return soon. I understand that businesses want tourists to return, that is their lively hood going down the drain, for sure.. along with some of their employees. Where is the balance??? bon voyage
  14. Unless, that is unless you have a very good TA who can work miracles on actionable items... Thank you spot on input, bon voyage
  15. Thank you for adding "vent" as part of the post up front.... bon voyage on whichever cruise line you choose going forward...
  16. Do you think if X docked a few miles off shore and tendered OP onto the dunes, would there be a reason for being upset over the change??? LOL My guess, is no. bon voyage
  17. Actually, many passengers will admire you for bucking the trend in dressing for Chic Nights... bon voyage
  18. Methinks that there are some passengers whose closest brush with 'Fine Dining' is on a cruise ship. I Am sure there are more than a few who would never spend the money for a Capital Grille experience... LOL Yet, thank you for sharing the experience. Can you imagine the 🙄 I from Chef's when I arrive to the Fine Dining Steak House as a vegan??? LOL Now, that is worthy of a Fine Dining experience and cost... LOL But as long as my guests are enjoying their meals, that is what matters most to me. bon appetit and bon voyage
  19. 🤣🤣🤣👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿 the OP never indicated if they were refunded or not, as well... LOL bon appetit
  20. Yes, last Aug/Sept 2023... Quiet and easy access to elevators and stairs. bon voyage
  21. I can only say that our FBC flights were perfect to/from Europe last year. Our only challenge was on the return was BA changed planes and fortunately we found out before outbound so we could re-select seats... The UA flight there was no charge for selecting seats, but for BA we had to pay and had no issue with that to get what we wanted as that is BA's policy and not FBC. Yet, this goes to show that each of us have different experiences and expectations with/for FBC... bon voyage
  22. Okay, then we can accept that may not have been the point of your post and can only request that you clarify what the point is so we do not provide information which is of no value to you. The point of my post is, essentially, that a call to X would be better for clarification on the issue as presented to us here, as our individual experiences can possibly be vastly different than yours. bon voyage
  23. At sea as on land... hopefully they did not severely injure themselves... bon voyage
  24. On a Silly sailing once, I witnessed a scooter do major damage to a persons heel and Achilles tendon... needless to say they had to go to the Medical Clinic (limping) for clean up and bandage... the 'I'm sorry' line was lame at that point... IMO. bon voyage
  25. If you accept what was told to you onboard at the time of booking, not sure the reason for your posting. @Jim_Iainrelated their experience, which which was not satisfactory or so it sounds. IMO, your next (needed to have been first) move would be to contact X to verify your thoughts/information/concern. If not satisfied with their response then you can argue it there. bon voyage
