Thanks

Comment on immigration 

If you go from Montreal to Boston 

You will have a usa face to face with immigration and bar harbour being a tender port, makes it one more issue 

On the way back to Canada, very seamless 

Fill a firm, drop it in a box 

1 couple was called to immigration ( my guess, they did not return the form )

By any chance, were you ordering the freestyle burger? It’s a lettuce wrap burger and automatically comes without a bun. Otherwise, getting them to leave out the bun is possible but takes some convincing.

Exactly. Boyfriend was ordering " free dive"

His English is getting better everyday hihi

Thanks

Deck 5 dining room is really cold.

Be patient getting your bags if you board in Montreal.

I will definitely take my own bags off the ship on the 18 th

Montreal.

I know some people were upset when we boarded on May 4th as they felt embarkation was " disorganized".

Comparing it to fort Lauderdale is unfair.

I thought it was fine.

Just need to lower expectations.

Everybody did speak English. So no issues there

I appreciate the reply. We sail on Carnival and Princess (Holland as well, though they don't honor the OBC situation-I have been told) quite often.  I wanted the stock strictly for the OBC. 

 

Holland does honour shareholder obc.

Got it for 1 cruise last year

And 2 more upcoming in may 

You can buy now and sell if the benefit ends.

So close, 1998 on Veendam.
