  1. When I just clicked on the "Find Your Roll Call" at the top of the page I was not able to get any roll call. It said, "Under Construction" and "No Results. 

    Also, are we no longer able to choose a different font? Hopefully time will improve all improvements!😃

  2. When booking our flight from Seattle to Santiago I looked at several options. And decided there is absolutely no common sense when it comes to airline pricing. American Comfort Class (or whatever the step above coach is called) was about $1250 pp from Seattle. A $100 flight would get us to San Fran or Las Vegas and then the cost was $750 to Santiago. If we left from DFW for the direct flight to Santiago (and all flights stop in Dallas) the cost was $1650. Finally ended up on a flight from Vancouver BC for $556. Good luck!

  3. We've stayed at the Rome Hilton at the airport. An easy walk from the airport-I think it was mainly through the parking garage. We took the shuttle into town for touring and then back to the hotel. The last day we went into town and then took the train to the port. A very nice hotel.

  4. If you're staying several days and you find a good deal for an airport hotel the light rail to downtown from the airport is very easy to use. Senior fares are available if that applies. If I remember correctly, one of the downtown stops is in the underground tunnel near Macy's dept. store-very convenient.

  5. We're staying at the Hotel Plaza San Francisco. I used Booking.com and found a rate for $152/night. They also arranged a transfer from the airport to the hotel for $50-up to 3 passengers and luggage. Decided after a long overnight flight it would be nice to have someone waiting for us with our name on a sign! Since we're scheduled for Jan. 2019 hopefully all will work as planned.:)

  6. I have a tour/transfer scheduled for Jan. 2019 so I can't recommend it but it's been easy to work with South Excursions. $165 pp for 2, $100 p for 4, $90 pp for 6 and $80 pp for 8. It was easy to fill our group of 8 from our roll call. The company will pick up from various hotels but as it happens, we are all at the same hotel which will make it easy. We have a tour of Santiago, winery visit and then to the port in San Antonio.

  7. Good thinking-that makes sense! Thanks-forest fire smoke must be clouding my brain. I wish we'd get a good wind to blow it away. Although I am glad nothing is burning nearby. I do feel for all those affected by the fires all over the West.

  8. This was a very interesting article. The one thing that stood out to me was the amount of luggage-8000 pieces for 2100 passengers. Someone must be taking a lot of luggage with them! We generally leave 2 pieces with the porters but I know of several people who manage to do their cruise with just a carry-on and a backpack.
