I am from Montreal and do the same Love sailing out of nyc

I have never been loyal to a brand Always look at price and itinerary to make my decsions

I would stop as you go Depending on how much time you have When you are ready to turn around and come back, you will be less stressed on the timeline When we did it, we went about halfway and then came back

Slight price drop. Just saved $20 / per

I use to take the bus to sapphire beach. Very easy. It was $2 because it was further out Super easy

Went we went pre shutdown, we usually just took the bus. Pretty easy and was only $2 / pers

I use the proxy vote card as proof of ownership. No issue

Before 2020, the stock price was too high for me to consider doing this As the price dropped, I bought my 100 shares and paid for my daughter to also have her 100 shares I know that these will pay for themselves in my lifetime of cruising Ps. I did the same for royal. Those have tripled since the 2020 low ( could never buy them at this price ) And yes, my financial advisor told me not to do it

Hi, anybody start looking at shore ex ? There will be a few beach days Have been to all ports multiple times Never been to ambir cove, we ( 2 people ) are looking for a city tour here Before smaller groups, but like Something like Top 10 Puerto Plata Or Mountain view and city tour Any takers ? any idea of private tour operators !

I have read so many of these horror stories over the years I once traveled with 3 other adults ( who do not travel often) asked to see all the passports before we got into the car We were driving from Montreal to NYC to catch a cruise We are about 2 hours from the border But who wants a 4 hour detour.

Can only 1 person get the quench ? Or each person needs to have some sort of drink package ?

Question It does not look as if carnival has a dining package ?

It is official, we are now booked We are serge and Chris from Montreal We usually drive to Albany And then take Yankee trail cruise express bus charter the rest of the way . I have been to most of these ports before, will all be new for my boyfriend

What I love of costa is the " dual," vacation I have 21 days on Costa Love that when I was on the ship, I felt like we were in Italy Off the ship, the Carribean It was over 10 years ago So looking forward to this new booking .

Just got through Halifax If I may add There is a beautiful public library with an amazing terrace on the top floor. Went with the grandkids last year, there was a play area, they could have spent the day there. Also, pier 21 has a museum that is the Canadian 'ellis island ' . Question We're there many kids on your sailing ? I have sailed costa and carnival, wondering how this ship blends the 2

We were looking at this ship for Nov 2024 Just found this thread, I am on page 10 But we have gone ahead and booked. Reading Saint John I was on the liberty which was one of the first ships back after Covid They were working on the container village then . Looking forward to the next 30 pages hihi

We are looking to book this cruise I have been on Costa and carnival Looking forward to feedback on this ship

Unfortunately, not everybody knows they can cancel and rebook Also, now people will be happy that it is 50 % Off and think it is a deal

Exactly. They will charge what people are willing to pay. Economics 101

I have a Holland cruise booked for May. That one, I booked in cad directly as the rate was much better with hal directly. Not sure if carnival has a good rate for Canadians If not, my TA is in the USA and I have a USd visa with RBC I have friends in the USA, not sure the implication if I use their phone no.

I am also in Canada Signed up for AARP The ask for a USA phone no to access the rewards page What have others done ?

You know your niece. With the packages you have included, there is no reason for her to spend extra Not sure when your trip is, maybe she has time to find a way to earn some money for any extra she may want You are amazing to take her on this trip and this can be a great teachable moment

I agree. Take a tour and see Provence

You never know how the crossing will be We did a TA on azamara one year wear captain did everything to avoid a hurricane It was rough, but in those extreme cases, you will feel it no matter the size of the ship. Other crossings, smooth as glass .

I once travelled with a friend who refused to put any info on her luggage because she was afraid somebody at the airport would know she was away I hope she never loses her bags
