Air France CDG-YYZ Air Canada YYZ-YHZ---Luggage
gnome12 replied to PitCritter's topic in Canadian Cruisers
I know the last time I flew out of Pearson (or probably a few times before that) I was there a little before 4 hours before, and was told that I couldn’t drop the bags off until 4 hours before flight time. -
Maybe they will make all available crew dress in off-duty clothes and go up for the photo shoot to get some bodies in it.

Just a slight correction if you are searching for it; it is https://www.rome2rio.com/

No, they don’t necessarily. As I said, they or their friends are likely to travel to the Euro zone and they can do a private exchange. The same is less likely for travel to the US.

Bus from South Queensferry to Edinburgh
gnome12 replied to Cruisetrekker's topic in British Isles/Western Europe
Just a reminder that it is South Queensferry (not Queensbury). -
If they aren't going themselves into the Euro zone they will know someone who is and will exchange with them. I don't think Euros are an issue in any of these fairly adjacent countries.
-
I stand by my previous comment. Since like me you are Canadian and have to purchase foreign currency whether US$ or €, it is more polite to tip in € in Europe.

And Amsterdam has free male urinals around town, but nothing provided for women.
-
Yes, but for my cruise, also departing June 15 but on the Dawn, there are NO bowties showing yet, even though restaurant reservations are available. (And more important for us, because they haven't changed the dress code on the Dawn as they have on the Nova and Ray.)
-
That is because you have to activate the new card for it to be valid, which would be what deactivates the old one.

The only deep sea fjord is Olden. This is mostly a midnight sun cruise.
-
However, if travelling National Express the large luggage goes under the coach, and is put there by the driver, so that the passenger doesn't have to carry it up the steps.

Norway: Shoes, Accessaability, Rain Questions
gnome12 replied to mlbcruiser's topic in Northern Europe & Baltic Sea
There are more than 2 cruise ports. There is actually a dock between your 1 and 3 which would be the most convenient. There is also a dock (probably 2) at the top end of the trapezoidal piece of land just to the right of your 1. -
Viking 'Tulips & Windmills': Changes to itinerary
gnome12 replied to pontac's topic in River Cruising
Viator is not a tour company. It is a third party booker of tours. It is better to deal directly with the tour company. -
What is there to do on River Cruises after dinner?
gnome12 replied to screwsmcernst's topic in River Cruising
As a single, I have frequently moved around from one table to another. I don't feel that once you have dined with some people a few times that that means that you have to sit with them all the time. Open dining means the opportunity to dine with anyone you wish. -
Car rental insurance abroad (for Canadians)
gnome12 replied to lots-of-km2's topic in Canadian Cruisers
Actually, it is in the jurisdiction in which the coverage is sold. -
I believe that change was fairly recent. Personally, I don’t think it is a good idea, because it can shut out even people who book fairly early in favour of those that book very early.
-
Or, take a canal cruise tour.
-
It is more than just guaranteeing a place. If Silversea changes an included excursion to one with a charge, you will be grandfathered as a no cost one.
-
Sorry, your tickle is my unpleasant. That is why many venues like theatres and concert halls ask you to go scent free.
-
Sorry. Some of us would be happier if everyone left the cologne or perfume behind, even if used sparingly.
-
Good to know.

Help me choose! Emerald Dawn or Viking Freya?
gnome12 replied to familymum's topic in River Cruising
Because other countries don’t allow it. (I think Viking’s US policies also apply in Canada, but I’m not sure.) -
It seems that the crew welfare fund is purely for crew enjoyment, not that I think they don’t deserve it. But it isn’t cash in their pockets.
