The NY Times no longer publishes the Times Digest.  The Times puzzles in the library are about two weeks old. 

On Sky now.  They are still offering independent tender tickets

Enjoyed your report.  We embark today.

We’re club class now and would do it again.  Service is great in club class dining.

we also received priority embarkation and hopefully debarkation (we’re used to this on other lines, but have low status, 2nd cruise on Princess)  The bedding is superior and the location is great. Yes you get the wine too.

Knocked a lot off. Taking care of China, Korea, Japan next. Still have sub Saharan Africa, Galapagos, India, and reaching 100 on Century Travel Club's list on my list.

Strongly recommend adding Machu Picchu and Iguazu Falls in South America to your lists.

We were there in December on an Aramark cruise. Stores open, but they were still working to repair some of the damage. We went to shell beach. Bars and restaurants by the beach we’re not open.

Hope this helps

Anyone heard anything yet on the transfers to the airport on 12/9?

I have a bid on an aft penthouse for a September cruise. Many others on my cruise have received acceptances for their bids, but they are mainly insides to oceanview or balconies. Is it typical to have the suites be re-assigned later? Also, when I do a fake booking, all suites are sold out, but on my bid page I still have the option to bid on all of them. Anyone have a similar experience?

Yes, suites showed sold out on our 9/2 Gem cruise, yet bid was accepted. Assume someone else received an upgrade to a higher category. Don't give up hope!

Sorry should have included: Gem 9/2/17 Canada New England

Bid $700 ( poor to fair) for penthouse from balcony guarantee. Category showed sold out. Notified bid was successful. Assigned aft penthouse:)

Don't know where you can find out about future flights - contact the airline?

One more thing about FRA terminal 1 - both customs and immigration were quick and easy when we went through - early am.

Went through FRA yesterday - Newark - FRA - Rome. Landed and departed Terminal 1. Did not have to go through security again. If your flight is on time, you should have no problem. Hope this helps

Thanks for the taxi fare' date=' I was curious about that.

 

Do they rent umbrellas too?[/quote']

 

Umbrellas $10 but you can ask to have your chairs put under one of their tents

We're on the Viking Star and just returned from Carambola. Taxi $16 each way for up to 4. Great location and food. Beach chairs $10. Hope this helps.

Started reading this thread and started worrying about not receiving an email as we've done three river cruises and are booked on the Star in November. The email finally came and we made our selections. Now we'll hope for the upgrade.

My wife has celiac. Just returned from Gem which we booked less than 2 weeks in advance and NCL, always good, is getting better and better with special diets. Just let them know as soon as possible and then find someone from food services to talk to as soon as you board and you should have no problems.

We were off by 9am today.

We're taking this trip in April and want to thank everyone for their info.

Hello :)

 

I'm going to go on board GEM this Saturday with 2 & 3 years old babies.

 

Can anyone recommend me nice beaches for me and daughters at St. Thomas, St. Marteen & Tortola?

 

Thank you and have happy holiday season~!!!

Hope you mean Friday!

Always take the stairs! Works like a charm to keep off the extra inches.

Thanks Cleophus 12. We're going 11/16/14 and your review helps.

We stayed at the Marriott and walked to the ship with our wheelie luggage. There is one crossing near the ship where you'll probably have to carry your bags, but it is near the ship and when you get close, the crew helps with your bags. We're walkers and did one organized walk and the rest on our own, all on the Pest side.

We leave Budapest on the 6th going to passau. Looking forward to your updates. Thanks for your info.

Terry,

Your timing is exquisite. We're on a B2B leaving 3/16 and the photos wet the appetite. Also enjoyed your Norway pics prior to our fjords cruise last year.

Thanks

We're on the Oct 10 Gem. Are there any private tour operators in Cornerbrook that go to Gros Morne?
