  1. Thank you very much for the great review. I would love to do this for our February cruise, however, I'm not concerned it may be too much walking for my 79 year old mother from the dock? Is there any sort of shuttle or service available?
  2. I also recommend Lawrence, we have used his tour service twice and just came back from our Enchanted Princess cruise. We had another great tour with him. He's very knowledgeable, friendly and proud of his island. He answered so many questions from the group and was just a wonderful gentleman.
  3. Thank you very much! I really hoped it would work that way, but wasn't sure.
  4. I apologize if this has been asked and answered, I just don't want to read through the 44 pages. We cruise next Friday and our medallions are on their way, however, I was notified today we were upgraded from a BE balcony to a deluxe balcony (DB) and was wondering if the medallion will need to be fixed at the port when we check-in or is it done at the passenger services desk after we board? Thank you!
  5. Just as an FYI - I have sent 2 separate emails to Chris Tours & Taxi, but never received a response. I'll reach out to another vendor.
  6. Thank you very much, I have sent an email to Chris
  7. Just an update, I received quick responses from Curlon with AceVentura, however, since it was just the two of us, the cost was way too expensive at $260/person which I did confirm was per person. He said if we had 4 people it would then be $90/person (not sure how the math was calculated). I'll do more research on Trip Advisor to see if I can find a more reasonably priced tour.
  8. Unfortunately, we are ticketed now as my mother was nervous after reading about people having issues with flights being changed, etc. so decided to have it ticketed. I know that it's probably too late to get it changed, I just figured I'd reach out to see if anyone had any luck. I should have clarified that the price was the same on American's website, not on the EZair site (which isn't showing our current flight out of PHL. I did contact American and spoke with an incredibly helpful person who told me that she could not make the change (she tried) and when she came back on suggested that because the return flight is so far away, the flight schedule/time for my March 9th flight could change and that would be my best chance to get it moved to the earlier one. If we only hadn't ticketed it 2 weeks ago, I'm sure we would have had no issue.....live and learn!
  9. Thanks everyone, the cost is the same for our seats (we are flying first class for this trip because it's what my mom wanted to do) and they were the flexible fares. It's really not a major issue, it was just a nice convenience to be home and back at PHL 3 hours earlier. Who knows, I'll try calling once more and maybe get a different outcome 🤔
  10. We booked our upcoming Feburary 2023 cruise via Princess EZair (the first time I've ever used it instead of booking directly with the airline) and now there is an earlier flight available which I would prefer (it's only a 3 hour difference, but it would be nice to be home at 4:00 pm vs. 7:00 pm). I have tried the Princess on-line chat (which after 1 hour of chatting just dropped), plus 3 separate calls with 3 different responses to just change our return flight to the earlier one. The first person told me they don't see the flight?? The second one told me there were no seats, to which I replied I could see over 50 seats available on the carrier's website, and then they put me on hold and told me they were having technical difficulties and to call back. The third person said they could only change if we paid an additional $870/person. Sorry for the long ramble, but is this a hopeless task on my part? Thank you very much for your advice. Teri
  11. Thanks, I had already went to the personalizer to try the link which still states "Not eligible" but I'll keep trying.
  12. Can we bid on an upgrade if we are still waiting for a room assignment? Today is the first day we should be able to bid (85 days until sailing).
  13. Thank you very much for this information. I did originally message J n J Tours but I never received a reply. I have messaged AceVentura Tours and hope we can get something booked.
  14. Yes! I knew I recognized your screen name! Thanks again for the response. Teri
  15. Thank you very much, I will reach out to them. I'm hoping we could do the same with a van since my mom and her two friends (who are close to 80 years old) may not enjoy the open air SUV ride (although I would) 🙂
  16. Hello. I cannot find any "current" tour companies for Grenada that offer island tours. We visited this island years ago and I cannot remember the name of the tour company, and would love to find something to book in advance (as compared to finding a driver/tour at the pier) if possible. Thank you for any information/advice!
  17. Hello. I cannot find any "current" tour companies for Dominica. We were here probably 10 years ago and I cannot remember the name of the tour company, and would love to find something to book in advance (as compared to finding a driver/tour at the pier) if possible. Thank you for any help/information.
  18. I was wondering if there are private/charter boats that will also transport people to Klein. We are arriving to Bonaire at noon and I would prefer to be able to get to Klein before 2:30 (the 12:00 departure is too early and the 2:00 departure doesn't leave much time to enjoy the island). I was hoping I could go over closer to 1:00 (depending how early I can disembark and walk to the location needed). Thank you for any information!
  19. Thank you, unfortunately, there were no balcony cabins available for this sailing, so we were forced to use the guarantee cabin to book. Crossing my fingers we are assigned a cabin before the bidding starts so we at least know we have 1 cabin booked for the entire cruise.
  20. Apologies if this has been answered and I somehow skipped over the topic, but I'm wondering how the bidding will work with a B2B (20 days total) cruise that we booked and whether I'll be able to bid one time for the full cruise or will I have to bid it separately for the 10 day cruises. We do not sail until February 17 on the Enchanted, so I am assuming we will get the email at the end of November. We currently do not have an assigned cabin either, dreading the possibility of having 2 different cabins instead of 1. Thank you for your help!
  21. We did not receive the casino offer email, however, my book was able to book us at the "special" casino rate. I'm sure it was just a mistake but we'll definitely check with the casino when we arrive.
  22. The $100 only shows up on the Travel Summary for my mom but my other OBC is correct in the Payment section. I knew the $400 casino credit was too good to be true (I most definitely didn't earn anything from playing in the casino, my mom is gambler).
  23. I just checked and it was removed also. I did print it out and it can't hurt to ask when we board in February.
