Not sure what tour operator you booked with. But I would start looking at others I used romeinlimo in Italy. Good luck

I think you need to find a good travel agent. But I just googled " repositioning cruises" and you get different websites that have different search engines that you may want to play with. Normally these are at the end of a season when ships move from one zone to another, they include many sea days and are less expensive Ships that are in the Caribbean for the winter will move either to Alaska Europe East coast for the summer. . Example. Holland America has one ship that goes from Florida up to Montreal early May. That ship then does Montreal to Boston for the summer. ( This year was the Zaandam ). Think of were the ships are which month, and when they would move back. . If you are set on carnival. Look 1 ship at a time for a one year period. You will soon see the pattern. Which I could give you more info, but the rules don't allow it

You can also look at repositioning cruises. And add the cruise before and/or after. This is a good way to visit different parts of the world

I am sure the pressure is finally coming down. I was on a cruise were the captain would say " take your shoulders down, you are on vacation". I love it and try to tell myself that whenever applicable .

Over 30 cruises. . Never ordered room service Until last cruise, I had never had supper at Lido . ( Total of 1 now :(( . Often gain only 1 pound total per cruise ( average 14 days) . Have done at least 3 trans Atlantic ( I lose track). I have often had a final statement spending only gratuities .

You can ' print to pdf". And download a copy to your phone. I guess they want you to review the coverage before calling them

If you still arrive day of cruise, I would try to arrive as early as possible ( red eye). Also, have a plan b for everything

Yep. My daughter was 9 on her 1 st cruise. She would go to kids club and we would have meetup points. ( That was 20 years ago )

I too would report it. His asking is a huge turnoff and in the end is probably penalizing the entire team

When I select my cabin I ensure there is a " no upgrade' note In my file

Rick Steves has good travel tips about traveling lite..

We were on Zaandam last month. My 2 1/2 year old grandson was a few steps ahead of us. He stepped into the casino and a supervisor warned us before we caught up with him. The entire scene took a few secs and everything was done with respect on both sides.

Agreed. Call and have it corrected. There should not be any charge.

No letter required as both parents are present. Enjoy the trip

Rome in limo is the best in all ports in Italy You can make a group of 8 in your roll call

This is not new 20 years ago, when I would travel with my daughter, brought a letter from her dad . Ii have never been asked But if everyone is on good terms, why not. Fyi . This is recommended even when parents are still together

You have a minor in a room by themselves. I would not gamble with this one Change your booking to move the son in your own cabin. . The last thing you want is to worry if your child will be denied boarding . . Feel bad for your cousin, but your priority should be that the 3 of you will be ok

Yep, this is why we chose ocean bar with the piano. It was a great pre dinner option for us. 2 very different options that most can find their preference

All tickets are on my daughter's credit card. I will have her check . Thank you

With cc, you will never be alone. More positive vibes coming to you and your family

Thanks for your support. .I wrote a draft email to greyhound and will let DD send it . Will give updates for those that are interested in our family saga

Cabot trail is a WOW Maybe rent a car with People on the roll call . Louisburg is also worth visiting

Please look at rick Steve's. . Belfast . Don't miss the Titanic museum . Edinburgh . Love Britannia royal yacht

Just came back from a family cruise 4 adults with 2 babies was a good ratio 2 parents 2 grand parents A 2.5 year old And a 6 month old . The cruise was different then my others ( more buffet and less dining room ). But I would do it again and so would the parents

Bravo to you and the cc community.
