I have been disappointed many times by beautiful yet tasteless desserts. But I do soldier on in my quest and am eventually rewarded.
But the worst for me is having a perfectly wonderful chocolate dessert completely ruined by someone sneaking coffee into it! That is just evil and should not be allowed!
I suggest getting the Rick Steves port guides thru your library. The one for Scandinavia was just about useless for our Norway cruise. Better to look for free and decide if it will be any benefit before you purchase any of his port guides.
It could be that you are too close to your sailing to book online or thru the app. I'm not sure of when but they do close bookings a few days before the cruise.
Anything that can be booked on the cruiseline's website, drinks,shore excursions etc, you can book on the website even if you used a TA to book the cruise. You do need to go through the TA for payments, cabin changes and price changes.
Yep, just the HAL website having fun with me! I clicked it again and still got the April 20, 2022 cruise that was listed as "Unavailable". When I refreshed the page the 2025 cruise showed.
Pre-check was still great at LGA last week. Saved us a great deal of time. Of course, my husband always slows things down due to his many bionic parts!
I suggest reviewing your statement each day on the TV in your cabin. I find it easier to catch any errors while purchases/charges are still fresh in your memory.
On our last trip to the Netherlands we stayed pre-cruise in Haarlem. It was wonderful. So much more laid back than Amsterdam with plenty to do for a few days.
We have stayed in Rotterdam and Amsterdam previously on land trips and have enjoyed them too.
If they embarked in Vancouver the rules are different than going from one US port to another.
If there is a violation, your fine would probably be added to your onboard account, they do have your credit card info.
