We got a refund to our checking account within5 days for full amount minus the $100 pp for one cruise. 
    For the second cruise we were booked we got back our deposit on our credit card same tome minus the $100 pp. 

    very quickly done by Viking and our cruisers were not cancelled. We just decided to cancel. 

In Burnie , we used Robyn from play around in tassie... she is fabulous!! She shows you a gun day in Tasmania with lots of variety  jammed into it. You have a very small group and see more than most other tours !!  Just fabulous!!!

We used Robyn from play around in tastier and she was fabulous!!!! She showed us more of Burnie and Tasmania  than anyone we spoke to on our ship. She is flexible and will take you where you want to go as well.  Only takes a very small group and is very personable!! Fabulous day with her!!

Royal plaza on Scott’s is on orchard street. Which is is a big shopping street. It is near the marina bay where the gardens are and Merlin. It is not far from Chinatown. It is very centrally located.  It had been refurbished this year and is upscaled  and gorgeous! Lots of good eateries nest ny as well as in the hotel. They have a great breakfast buffet as well. Excellent choice in my book... will be there in December!!!

On the Connie December ... Dubai to Singapore but would love to hear about your experiences on your trip on here !!!

I don’t want to debate this with you... but... the elevators have been broken for weeks we were told at both ends of the ship... the tender Robles was midday not the end of the dAy and we we were told “ they ran out of water... unacceptable...

    the embarkment had no time... dining room we went to dinner early.. 5:30-6m and it wasn’t crowded, lots of empty tables.. 

     there was not enough crew and the crew was not well trained  in my opinion. And yes, I’ve been on older ships including it’s sister ship the maasdam..

    It just was a disaster cruise!! 

We just got off as well and had one disaster after another!!! We were on deck 6. Cabin was on as far as size but air conditioning was not!! It took over 2 hours for embarkation in a hot terminal with no drinks available. We got on and had a Orr outage shortly thereafter in our cabin for about 2 hours ... no bathrooms.. tenders at times took 45 minute wait in the heT to return midday .. again no water available.. dinner in dining room was over 2 hours.   Elevators only half worked and therefore you waited quite awhile for one.. people carried walkers up the stairs...I could go on and on!!!

    I did Havana the n my own with a private guide and that was nice!!!

    I have cruised over 40 cruises , over 100 days, 3 star mariner on holland and never experienced such a disaster before!!!

Where did you go different on your tour from what is listed on his website?( if anywhere) Did you buy anythOmg unusual .., other than typical t shirts, rum , cigars, art? Thank you in advance for your help....

Did the tour guide give you an itinerary or did you tell him where you wanted to go? How lucky my did you tour and did you go for lunch and shopping?

Thanks for your great comments. Did you give him a tip as well? Also did you tip the driver? What is customary in Cuba as far as tipping for guides and in restaurants?

We are booked also with blexie... can you give me suggestions as to where you went? I have a few places of interest but would love to learn of more.

We don’t go. Until January. Thanks tobie

Were you able to go inside the temple? Did you need an appointment prior? We are going in January and definitely want to see the temple. Please let me know thanks tobie

Two comments

First... I just got a nice underwater camera ...

Reasonably priced. Great features...fujimi fp 90.....it's in many different chain stores , you can check it on

Check it Milne as well...

Second.... you got a raw deal with the dining for 2 ... whose cruise was it... yours or theirs? I would never have put up with the lame excuses they gave you!!! You were too nice....I realize you didn't wan to start any confrontation, but you were entitled to a table for two as much as those who got on earlier... I am taking a 25 day cruise that starts out as a 39 day one and I will not put up with an excuse

Like that for anything. I paid just like they did...

I understand the maasdam doesn't even have the unlimited plan!!!

Your the island with spirou. I believe she is under pearl island lady. Com. Check it out on trip advisor... Very well known and excellent...

I change status after 7 days on a 25 day cruise coming up. I called guest services and they sent me IN WRITING a letter indicating I'd be able to show the front desk to change my status after the 7 days. It was also noted on my booking as well. But I felt I wanted to have it in hand . Much easier.

I recommend viator tours.....they have a 2 day tour combo that includes blue mountain one day and city/ harbor cruise the second day.....then the third day do on your own

Weather looks like rain...what kind of temperatures are in Auckland ? Plan to be there n a few days

Let us know what the weather is like specially in Auckland......as we will be arriving there also in a few days

I'm net tested in hearing what the weather is like especially as you get to Auckland as we are going to arrive there in a few days.

Does anyone know how far the wharf is from skycity hotel in auckland ?

Does anyone have an idea about how many people book guarantees on an average exotic cruise? I know this sounds nuts but I wonder so I could get an idea if my chances are good for an upgrade.

I am confused.....if you only want to use the Internet on your phone , do you need to get a SIM card? I don't want to make any calls......

we are booked on Wellington sightseeing tours.co.nz. Hammond tours. With les. $55 pp It goes to Victoria , all around Wellington, the cable car, etc. check it out. It came with great recommendations . We are touring in February. Good luck

we have used viator to go to my Fuji in Tokyo and they were terrific. We also used them in Singapore to go to Santos's island and enjoyed that very much. I think the value was cheaper than booking on your own and have booked them for Nashville tennasee for two tours much cheaper than if I booked seperately.

I also booked them for a two day combo Sydney/ blue mountain tour for February. Hopefully I will be happy with these.

There's less people than the ships tour and well organized. Good value.
