  1. Last year, I used the letter from carnival for voting at the annual meeting . I just booked a hal cruise and submitted the request via email before they switch methods
  2. I booked through hal in cad and saved about $150 pour person Thank you Yes, I will also pre pay tips in cad before we sail
  3. We are going may 2024. I will call hal tomorrow
  4. CGinMTL

    USD or Peso

    Although usd is preferred As a Canadian, I also find it ridiculous to pay in usd The local currency is pesos, and that is the currency I use . That being said, it also depends on the no of stops in Mexico
  5. Hello all When we booked our 2023 cruise, hal had a really good exchange rate for Canadian. Does anybody know if they are still doing that ?
  6. Sorry, my comment was for your tour operator ( as per your printscreen in green ) Not with you . Love these virtual trips
  7. Love that the description is "Montebello" But most of the sight are actually are nation's capital Ottawa Funny how the capital of a country does not get top billing Montebello is much prettier though I am enjoying your descriptions and making a mental note to revisit these sites that are less then 2 hours from home
  8. Welcome to Canada I also love reflection shots I took one in June with the ship in my daughter's sunglasses
  9. The air was really cold this weekend. It felt like it was about to snow From heat wave to pre winter in 48 hours You really never get used to that Rain and windy. Some trees are almost bare. My maple, has barely turned You may still see some colors yet
  10. You should be ok The warm weather has lowed down the color change. My maple is just starting to turn You also want to avoid high winds ( that will empty the trees )
  11. We are having unusually warm weather. Shorts in October in Montreal. Hope it stays nice for you
  12. In Halifax. There is the Canadian Ellis Island. It is pier 21. And is steps away from where shops dock
  13. Hello Ken Will be following alongcginmtl I actually live in Montreal and see you are coming my way Would love to meet up with you if you have free time in your schedule My email Cginmtl at Gmail dot com
  14. Pumpkin picking season just started in my region close to Montreal , Canada
  15. I think it is great that they did this . Great customer service
  16. My boyfriend went on his 1st cruise last year. I wanted him to experience the 'basic" cruise to see if he would enjoy it, I am diamond and always book inside, no dining package, no drink package I am diamond, did share my drink vouchers with him Conclusion, he loves cruising. And we took our 2nd cruise this year
  17. I usually ask someone that is actually there if they have seen somebody. When I get a no, I move stuff. Usually spend 1-2 hrs max. Move stuff back. NEVER saw anybody in over 30 cruises. If I had been there less then 30 min, I may move. More then that, I would ask them when they left. Agree a towel is not enough to save a chair. Same if you are in the pool for hours, find a chair after.
  18. The way I see it, life on a ship is like ground hog day. I try to buy a huge box of the Halloween style small candy bars mid cruise. When I meet a crew member. I ask if they would like to pick one. I they each have a favorite, and it comes with a memory from home. Yes, cash pays the bills. But a little sweet when you are feeling down doesn't hurt. It tells them " I see you". Ps. And do those that say they are faking gratitude. Try it and see. Positive energy is priceless.
  19. If you already paid but they are not sure the tour will proceed. You should be able to cancel
