    The person I spoke with (Air Canada) dealt with me as far as meal requirements, getting our frequent flyer numbers, getting our passport information, and making seat assignments. Then he mentioned "bulk" and said it would be a problem for them to deal with any change.

    You really have to feel sorry for them!

    We have BOGO flights. I was speaking with an airline representative (in this particular case Air Canada), and he mentioned that the ticket was marked as "bulk". He did not think the airline could make any change. (Note I was not asking for a change only giving meal requests (vegetarian) and giving our passport numbers and frequent flyers numbers.)

    Hopefully, there is another positive---they never even consider doing this again!

    Yes, they could not completely undo what they had done, but they can hopefully learn to not make the same mistake in the future.

    Well then, I hope you do not mind if anyone accepts third hand information with several grains of salt.

    They will take money for onboard activities or excursions, but final payment must be made through your TA. And there are a lot of things they will talk to you about if you call and ask despite what some may post and say you have to do everything through your TA once you book with a TA.

    Alas, a great majority love the new e-muster because no emergency will ever happen, or at least never happen when they are onboard. And they are most often right that there will be no emergency on their cruise, but when that real emergency inevitably happens, it is not going to be pretty.

    Someone mentioned they had a discussion with someone else who told them--sounds like 3rd hand information. But of course now that you have put that out on the internet, it must be true because everything you read on the internet is true. 🤦‍♂️

    Did they claim the painting was an original by Andy Warhol? 🤣
  11. ontheweb
    Gee, I can see how that would be more efficient, but half the fun was picking your ingredients. And what if you were allergic to a possible ingredient?

    Passengers, crew evacuated from cruise ship after fire (msn.com) Very small ship. I wonder how well something like this would have worked on some of the extremely huge ships now sailing, especially with the new e-muster drills now being used.

    It is truly unfortunate when the front line crew who deal with passengers suffer because of what the suits in headquarters do.

    Good to hear, lots of stuff for all of us to look forward to. 😊

    DW is an art teacher, actually now retired, and even she I believe would find that talk BORING.

    Ours was in 2019, and all the hotels held them.

    I sure hope they do not do anything like that on our Prima cruise that includes Norwegian fjords. And especially for Park West, who frankly s*ck.

    And don't forget to have a recording of Jim Morrison of the Doors singing that!

    Same cable company? Spectrum?

    You are right, either enforce the rules or don't have them. I remember a college professor once saying that the worst laws ever were speeding and alternate side of the street parking. And the reason they were the worst laws was because every broke them all the time with no consequences. And once you broke a law with no consequences, breaking the next law became much easier.
  21. ontheweb
    OK, that is why I gave the year.
  22. ontheweb
    I once had a cable guy tell me NOT to give him a 10, but a 9 instead. He said a 10 sometimes was scored as a 1, and that would get them into trouble. I think they later changed to 1-5 instead of 1-10.

    Wow, the Louvre is GIGANTIC. Our funny story for there is we had trouble finding a way out. 🤣 We did stumble upon a handicap entrance which was nice to find since I was in a walking boot at the time.
  24. ontheweb
    Yes, easiest to get it done early. IIRC, I received an e-mail from NCL before they booked our BOGO flights asking for our full names as listed on our passports. I called our TA and gave him the information to forward to NCL. When I now go on ncl.com and see our information, I see our names including middle names. So instead if On Web, it's On The Web. 😊🤣

    I think you nailed it. But the question remains how does one get out of that self-fulfilling loop.
