14Canadian

Hello 

we are thinking of booking a cruise leaving from Barcelona to New York in April. Has any done it. What kind of weather we can expect.

thanks for any information.

Take a local taxi or tour company. Live volcanic activities are wonderful. Steam and sulphur smell. It’s beautiful.

Thanks in advance for any comments and help on this question I have.

we are sailing RCL brilliance of the sea from Venice for 14 days on September 09,2022. I cannot find any link on RCL site to check it.

we are flying from Toronto Canada. Am thinking of adding trip cancellation policy in case the airlines, government advisory or I test positive.

Air Canada is notorious for this announcement at all departure gates at all airports to hand in carryons. So please ignore the announcement and hold on to your carryons. Safe flights everyone.

Can you please tell me when is your flight to USA 

pour flight is on March 27th 7.30am from YYZ TO FLL. I haven’t heard anything from AC.

thank you.

Can you please tell me 

does AC sends this form when I do online check in which will be 24 hrs before flight time as I understand 

or

is there any other options to do this before 24hrs departure 

thank you.

My sister in law was unaware of the attestation form and is flying to US this weekend with AC.  One of the reasons I asked the question.  She was unaware of what it was.  I forwarded info from above so she would be ready for it.  She apparently got an email from AC yesterday with the attestation form attached so she will ultimately be prepared.  Nice of AC to do that I thought.

Tell me about it. She is great at her job but not a clear communicator.

Bonnie is the best we have in Canada.

me in Ontario.

We the Canadians are more friendly and tolerant than the southern country 

IMO

Am just wondering why would you need a back up plan.

we are leaving YYZ on March 27th 7.30 am. So far have only one appointment with Rexall on March 26th at 2pm. Should we have a second appointment at other place also.

What does orange club include 

we are sailing on Rotterdam March 27-August 10

We are getting off HAL on April 10th and HAL provides antigen test. Would we need to buy these from air Canada also or we are fine.

Thank you very much 

Hi there. Just booked a 14 days sailing on Rotterdam. March 27 departure . Does HAL has formal and theme nights and how many are there in a 14 days cruise. 

second how do we update our dining options etc on HAL Navigator app. So far cannot access it. 
thanks for all helps.

When you quote people you can respond in the same post right below the text that's quoted, don't respond in another post, that's annoying.

Thanks 

Just to be correct 

I HAVE NOT BEEN HERE 50 days or times

so …….

Yes we know, we heard you the first 50 times you said the same thing.  Enjoy your new line.

It’s time for all of us to give our business to those cruise lines who appreciate us and are willing to make our travel a pleasure and not a painful experience by putting all these kind of conditions.

Just wondered if anyone has cruised on MSC since they made “all inclusive” insurance mandatory for Canadians? Their website stares that you must present proof of insurance during the check in process. I have a university education and managed a muti million dollar corporation and I have trouble understanding all the terms,  conditions.and applications. How someone is going to go through a 50 page document to check your coverage during check in,  is beyond me.

Yes we had two sailings. January 05, January 16 th

And above all NCL cancelled January 05 th sailing on January 3rd and we would have been stranded in Miami. A few people were. 
we canceled on December 22,2021 after Canadian government issued international travel advisory on December 15th,2021.

now NCL doesn’t think that we should have cancelled it and they believe that we should have not  obeyed the Canada government warnings.

Its bad on NCL’s part.

Now  we will be sailing with other lines and not ever ever again with NCL.

We have two cruises on hold with NCL which will be cancelling now.

So you canceled under peace of mind and NCL didn't give you any FCC?

Well for the next 3-6 months are unpredictable. Just like any other small businesses who are partially closed. 
we will be sailing again when it becomes safe to do so. No sense to jump into the fire.

And survival of some cruise lines will depend on how they  handle the customer’s concerns during this pandemic. 
They can keep the loyal customers or loose them for ever.

I wonder how long cruise lines can survive at that low level of capacity....

It has nothing to do with FCC. If NCL advertises that sail with confidence and the Canadian government says no travel out of the country. Insurance company doesn’t cover after advisory. Ships are coming back with cases.

we have to be pretty brain dead to go on the cruise ship. A lot of things we like in life but it doesn’t mean you have to do it when the conditions are not right.

NCL lures people into spending money with them with the promise to cancel if the government and health department says not to travel.

now we say honour your cancellation policy and make settlements  within the reason.

Across the cruise industry 10's of thousands of passengers have wonderful cruises every week. We went on 3 cruises last year and have 4 booked over the next few months. We've completed a dozen land-based vacations during the pandemic. We're not reckless. We mitigate risk as much as possible. We take vaccinated cruises, wear our N95 masks, try to avoid crowds (not always possible), and have a great time.

 

Throughout history, everyone has a sad story and expect the cruise lines to "grant expectations" for every circumstance. That is not the way to run a business. Set your policies. Enforce your policies. No exceptions. If people want to carry insurance, it is up to them. Personal emergencies, COVID, hurricanes, itinerary changes, ship mechanical problems, changes to departure dates, etc.
