We are staying at the Niche Hotel with a view of the acropolis and walking distance of the old town restaurants.

We are looking at this hotel too. Do you know anyone who has actually stayed there? I'm going on location, price and reviews.

Is there a "better" side of the ship on Enchantment of the Seas Rome to Athens? Favorite thing is to sit on balcony and watch the land go by as we travel and pull into ports.  I know port directions can change but anyone with any experience to this? Thanks! 

There is no refund if cancelled after the 10 day period- which was almost 2 years ago-. But, I didn't cancel and this situation isn't anywhere in the policy. There is no mention of having to book with the same TA as "they are doing us a favor" by allowing this.  I've contacted the attorney general's office in Boston who "finds it highly unethical and will be happy to look into it." But I need to fill out the paperwork.  They said it's just such a new world with Covid "companies need to do what's right and sometimes we have to help them see that."  I figured I'd at least make them aware that I'll file a complaint and  give them the opportunity to make it right. I doubt it will make a difference- but it's just not right.  Thanks! 

Hi

I just don't get the no refund for the insurance.  The cruise was cancelled by the cruise line. My insurance is through World Travel Holdings  who has partnered with Aon Affinity and Arch Insurance Company. They will allow me to move the policy to a new date but ONLY if I book with the same travel agent at World Travel. I live in Mass.  I have a trip I'd like to book but with a group through another travel agency and it's a much better deal. If I've paid the policy and they are keeping the money why can't I move it with me? Yes I've called and asked and they said it's a special arrangement with the TA and I need to book with them or lose $1500.  Boy this isn't like a car! When you total a car in Feb you at least get the remainder of the year back.  Anything you think I can do?  Thanks! 

They also only gave a 2 week notice for the cancellations. I figured we'd know this week for July... sigh.... 

Hi will be traveling next July Boston to Tahiti. Trying to decide best flight options? One stop and do it all at once or fly to California and then next day take rest of trip. Also any airlines better/more comfortable than another. It is a loooong trip for us.  Will be flying economy. First time to the South Pacific. Thanks in advance! 

Can anyone comment on the accommodation comparisons between NCL Haven balcony on Jade and a Suite on RCCL? I love the smaller ship even on RCCL Jewel- my fav- but NCL suite room looks very small but it's so hard to tell in pics. Looks beautifully appointed. thanks!

Thank you both!

Had FP all set for Nov 2014 but due to accident that August had to cancel. :( Now starting to plan again and Princess no longer sails FP. Looks like my best choices are PG and Oceania. Not familiar with either. ( have sailed with Princess and RCCL.) Any comparisons or pros/cons are appreciated. We are into scuba diving so not sure which ship is best for that. We are coming from US east coast. Thanks for your help!
