Hi - a couple of further questions: 1) What's the laundry situation on board? 2) Is the standard internet sufficient? How much more is it to upgrade the wifi? 3) How's the flight on Latam?

We just got back from the North Pole where we brought Ultra Warm technical Long Johns from Uniqlo. Is that what you mean for leggings under the wetsuit?

Hi - a couple of pre and post-cruise questions. 1) Did your day tour in Quito duplicate any of the Friday evening tour from Silverseas? 2) How long is the Friday evening Silverseas tour? We'd like to go out to dinner after the tour. What time does it end? 3) We are leaving Guayaquil the next day at 12:30pm. Is there time on Saturday afternoon for a brief tour of Guayaquil?

Hi - we're looking at going on this ship in May and have a choice between cabin 603 near the front or cabin 617 near the elevator mid-ship. Any thoughts on either choice?

We were wondering if there's much of a difference between the Superior Veranda and the Classic Veranda suites?

We're booked on the Havila Polaris on 6 February and just learned (from Havila's website) that the trip is cancelled. Despite knowing that the ship would not be available in late December, we (nor our travel agent) still have not received any notice from Havila. Now, we're scrambling to figure out what to do. Seems a Hurtigruten voyage is available the next day but at almost double the price for a lesser cabin. How disappointing.

When we book regular cruises, we often get discounted pricing, cruise credit and other benefits depending on which travel agent you use. When you book one of these Norwegian coastal voyages up to Kirkenes, is there similar pricing dynamics? Or does everyone pay the website rates?

Does anyone know if you can get typical cruise discounts when purchasing a Havila Voyage? Any benefits like cruise credit?

Hi - we're thinking of doing a Havila trip to Kirkenes in February 2023. Has anyone been on one of their ships yet? We were wondering if a balcony would be useful (or even usable) on a February sailing? The Panorama view rooms look just fine if the balcony wouldn't be used due to the cold.
