  1. We used Europcar---a little tricky. They weren't physically at the pier location---after calling, they came and picked us up and took us to their main office a few blocks away. This took 30-40 minutes out of our port time. Return was right at the pier, so no problem.
  2. Hitting the roots from inside out.... (I'm standing in the corner, TYVM)
  3. It's the insidious way Celebrity continues its cut-backs---they expect you to make your own.
  4. The only negative is taxi service at the bus station is sporadic. However, Central Station (train) is only a 5 minute walk away, and they're plentiful there.
  5. For a lower rate, you are guaranteed a veranda cabin . Typically, if you pay more, you can choose a cabin (but since you were waitlisted that option might not have been available). Your cabin assignment could come at any time---probably no latter than a month prior.
  6. We were almost identical in Akureyri, hit Hverir, circled Myvatn visiting Dimmuborgir, Hofdi, Skutustadagigar, then Godafoss on the way back. Basically one step ahead of the tour busses the entire day. We did all this in about 5 hours.
  7. https://www.gtice.is/hot-golden-circle/ in Reykjavik.
  8. Oh my. Remind me to never comment on one of her posts!
  9. Granted, but it's not priority (as in first served)---concierege plays the "wait for your bag number" like everyone else. The suite folks could also wait there with no issue, they never checked anything upon entry.
  10. We've done it 3 times, such an easy way to go. By our experience, never had to pay extra for the bags.
  11. We use the tube from LHR, and National Express to Southampton. Lodging options are too numerous to discuss---it all depends on where you want to explore from.

  13. But they'll also book air, rail, hotels, tours, yada yada. Specialize does not equate to exclusively.
  14. Credit card, passport, you're good to go. They'll probably take a photo anyway. Baggage tags are just as easily added at the port.
  15. Don't hold their breath. The description actually says it pretty well.
  16. Methinks this is more of a ship orientation, not what you'd see on the paid tour.
  17. I read that as if you have a supervised test, one must present a digital or physical result. Self-test falls under the portion that follows (photo or actual).
  18. I like the ones that have the blue X in the stem.
  19. Carnival Radiance & Panorama were also in the not so close neighborhood.
