On Caribbean Princess last year, baseball caps, sometimes worn backwards and tshirts and singlets were “ok” in dining room,

Use their website to check when elevator is operating, you can book a time. Has some odd hours sometimes and is often closed completely. I had a letter from my doctor stating difficulty in walking, but couldn’t use elevator as it was out of action in the two days I was there.

Use Plaka in your Google search. Busses sometimes drop off at bottom of Plaka near Hadrians Gate and sometimes at the side road of the museum of the Acropolis. From the dining area in the museum there is a great view of Acropolis and Parthenon. The hill is not too bad, just go slowly and have a rest half way.

A local told me, just walk straight towards your destination, other side of road and don’t worry about the traffic, they will go around you. Me, I always look for an old lady and walk right next to her. There’s a reason why she’s an old lady with that traffic. Lol

One time we used a travel agent they came up with very expensive airfares with a long layover. My daughter went online found cheaper flights, same airline, with only a 3 hour layover. Phoned ta and she changed them to our preferences. Told my daughter to give up nursing and take up being at ta. Lol

That’s a bit rude! If this happens just keep moving forward until they get the message. Lol

Probably but I had gone to front of ship and there was only a short time as we sailed past the statue and into port. Also I m not an early morning person so it was an effort for me to get there at all at that time. Lol.

On my first visit to New York I was up early to see the lady but couldn’t get near the railings. As I am quite short a lovely tall man near the railing took my camera and took a few photos for me. I could peek around people and get a look but could not get a good photo view.

My distances were from Narita airport.

I have spent literally thousands on travel insurance over the years. Only time I thought to use it was when I dropped my camera out of a canoe in PNG. After excess and depreciation it was not worth it. Accidents can happen to anyone, young lady, fit and healthy stepped back at a park in Noumea. There was a concrete drain, she broke her ankle and ad to be repatriated to Australia. I wish there was a no claim bonus. My premiums are getting larger, even though no claims, because I am I my 70’s and have existing health conditions, managed with medications.

I think the issue is most people want to have their cuppa before they venture out of the cabin.

Google approximate taxi fare and also transfer companies. Some years ago we booked a transfer from airport to Yokohama, can’t remember name of company but it was the cheapest one of a few. Still,very expensive, but remember it is nearly 50 km.

It was enough to water the garden. Don’t need any more, thanks.

Last April onEnchanted Princess there was a kettle in our inside cabin. YesAussies like their morning cuppa too. Have also found princess provides kettles on most Asian cruises especially those with Japan on their itinerary. Kettles are too dangerous on most cruises but not on some. Go figure.

Gives you lots of confidence in Princess, NOT

Meanwhile where I live in Brisbane one day of very light showers. The rain is only heavy in certain areas.

They are banned on most cruise lines. Shame because they work well. Used one many years ago when I travelled through Europe.

I really hope you get to Easter Island. It was so frustrating to see all the tour providers lined up waiting for us. It didn’t even seem that rough but because there is a floating pontoon and big swells and a lot of elderly passengers the powers that be decided it was a no go. I did get some good photos of the statues on the beach, very zoomed up.

Not a fire hazard for Japan cruises, UK cruises or for us on Mediterranean cruise..All had kettles in cabins.

No request, just there when we boarded, love my early morning cup of tea while checking emails etc before getting dressed and venturing out.

Have done three, half WC. The 2019 WC had 10 sea days in a row when we could not land on Easter Island, one of my main reasons for choosing that cruise. Maybe try again someday.

All a bit of a fizzer really. We board P&O Encounter on Saturday 10/2 for a four day cruise to Airlie. Hopefully all goes well.We are in Brisbane and have had no rain for 2 weeks in our suburb. My son is in Mackay, no rain there for the last week.

Wow, that’s a lot of sea days.

Have always had kettle on Japanese cruises and last year in the Mediterranean on Enchanted we had a kettle in room. No kettle on Caribbean Princess last year on Greenland cruise.

Like our answer but in my case it doesn’t apply. Lol
