  1. Luggage may not be available for several hours after cabins are available.
  2. https://boards.cruisecritic.com/forum/2-ports-of-call/
  3. The Calgary (YYC) program, https://www.yyc.com/en-us/travellerinfo/airportsecurityandscreening/yycexpress.aspx. I haven't found any user comments on the program.
  4. An attempt to improve and speed up security screening times. https://toronto.ctvnews.ca/toronto-pearson-announces-express-security-lines-ahead-of-travel-surge-1.6137070 The article says that YYC implemented a similar program earlier this year. Anyone used it?
  5. Send an email to help@cruisecritic.com reporting the issue.
  6. Finally got in using Android tablet and Chrome. Thanks for the update banner with timestamp.
  7. After suffering annual bouts of flu most of my life1, then being flu free for a few years I've decided that wearing a mask in congested situations is well worth the discomfort and odd looks.
  8. Tap / click the Menu button (3 horizontal bars, upper right). Select Account, Account Settings. At the bottom of the settings is an Other Settings section, select Edit profile.
  9. There is a Passport Office in Edmonton. It is supposed to have express pickup. For $50 one is supposed to be able to pick up the new passport in 10 days. It must be picked up, not mailed and the application has to be submitted in person.
  10. If memory serves the avatar photo is displayed as soon as it is uploaded and saved. My recollection is that the avatar photo is distinct from a profile picture. When I tap on your avatar, your profile picture appears to be clouds. The avatar is a reddish brown circle with a white R in the middle.
  11. If you are referring to a message in a black bar at the bottom of the post/reply editor, Clear editor is a link, tap/click on it to erase the edit contents or simply start editing/typing and the message will disappear.
  12. There is a lot of vibration and 3D movement on a ship at sea. Without some sort of stabilizing mount a very long exposure is likely going to push the limits of the camera's ability to stabilize the shot. A video with post processing into a single still may be a workable approach.
  13. I suspect you may have clicked on "Mark forum as read". That marks everything in the forum up to that point as read. Not to worry, as new posts are made they will appear unread and you should then be able to go to first unread.
  14. Apparently your TA did not read the requirement. Most particularly "provide clients ...". A more likely scenario in which the TA provides generalized information. TA: You will need a valid passport that does not expire (before) or (however many months required after) your return. Canadians require/don't require visas for ... I would expect a good TA to also provide advice to non-citizen residents. Such as to check that their residency status allows exit and return and the possible need for multiple entry visas when sailing round trip out of countries that require a visa.
  15. The TA has to have established traveller citizenship & residency status in order to ethically sell international travel. It is the job of a good TA to inform customers of usual documentation requirements. https://www.acta.ca/code-of-ethics#:~:text=ACTA members will respect all,strict professional integrity and courtesy.
  16. https://globalnews.ca/news/9196431/us-canada-nexus-negotiations/ https://www.ctvnews.ca/politics/u-s-is-holding-nexus-trusted-traveller-program-hostage-canadian-envoy-says-1.6107453 https://www.theglobeandmail.com/politics/article-nexus-canada-us-backlog/
  17. Roll calls are also accessible navigating from the main index. All of the Nieuw Amsterdam roll calls can be found at https://boards.cruisecritic.com/forum/461-nieuw-amsterdam/
  18. The simplest method is to unfollow the thread. Go to any page in the thread. On a phone or tablet: Below the posts on the page you will see a blue bar with the word Following. Tap the bar and then Unfollow. On a desktop or laptop: at the top click on Following and then Unfollow.
  19. The company has said it will be installed in ships across its 3 brands in 2023. The antennas have been reported on Independence and installation crews on several other ships including Allure. Presumably some time next year one will be able find at least one ship offering the service. There are a number of open questions. Coverage is one. The satellites are low orbit so they do not have large coverage areas (relatively). Of course the big question for most of us is cost. But one can justify a fairly high premium if it's a business cost.
  20. Perhaps the upgrades being made by RCL will result in more useable internet.
  21. I have had mixed results asking the cruise line not to convert the account balance when charging my CA$ CC.
  22. You could call anytime. The setting should not affect local service. Alternatively, you can get the information from Bell Support pages. I was going to post the links, but they are not working at the moment. If I recall correctly, you need to enable voice over LTE. The Key 2 allows one of several network type settings.
  23. Presumably one has to remember to declare winnings over $10K upon disembarking as well as subsequent entry into Canada?
