Welcome to Cruise Critic, I hope you enjoy participating in this community.

Noon is a good flight. From the many times we have taken that 12:30 or 2:30 flight depending on price, we could easily make an 11 am flight.

Or go old school and use radios. Still see some people and kids using them.

I think the issue occurs if you book now at the low rate of 93 Euros in hopes of staying at San (Scam) Giorgio, once they are full they continue to take reservations at a higher price. They then kick the people who purchased the rooms at a lower rate and keep the ones that are paying more for the rooms. Good for the management as they are maximizing their profit with little risk of having an empty hotel. Bad for the consumers who plan ahead and get thrown out into the street. Again, this just didn't happen this one time as reviews on them cite many occasions this has happened. Perhaps you were lucky or paid a premium to stay there.

Do your research on the Scam Giorgio. Several years ago a number of us booked 4 rooms with them 1 year in advance. As the cruise date approached they suddenly informed all of us that they made an error and our reservations were cancelled due to overbooking. It was over booked because they were still accepting reservations at the higher price. This happened less than 2 weeks before the cruise while most of us were already in Europe. We scrambled to get alternate accommodations and less than 2 weeks out they weren't the greatest and not the cheapest. Read the Italy boards, check out Trip Advisor. This was not an isolated incident as it was their business model. I would stay away from this place.

Living and working in Mexico and live about 2 hours east of Parras.

We will be bringing a Don Leo and Casa Madero to Copenhagen for the TA. And if anyone here that is on that TA wants to get rid of their free wine, please let me know and I will take it off your hands at no charge.

Comfort Inn South Sea Port is a favourite. There is a mall right behind it.

Good point. Some banks may not offer an exchange if you don't have an account with them. Best to find a money exchange place. Might get better rates too. I am more than happy to give you CND at par. 🤣

It all depends on what interests the OP has. I lived in NB for 2 years and have been to almost all of the Maritime provinces. NL is that last elusive province we just can't get around to getting to. Anyway, our interests are food an drink and there are a lot of fabulous places to visit. One place that sadly did not make the Covid cut was the Nova Scotia Chrystal works. We have many beautiful pieces. Maybe one day someone will refire the kilns. So @TLCOhio, what do you like doing or seeing?

I wonder if I could combine the CFOne with my status on Air Canada? Although schlepping 2 bags to the airport is a chore I can't imagine lugging 5! And being part of the working class, I don't have enough vacation time to warrant that much luggage.😂 And as a CFOne member you have no restriction on the amount of luggage on Via Rail.

Sounds like @Fouremco and I have had similar experiences with West Jet. I think I had 6 flight with them and 5 all had issues with giving our business class seats away to travelling employees to changing our selected seats. And yes, the same response from customer service. As ex-military I get 4 free bags on WJ but unless they are the only solution I would not fly them.

Maybe a little off topic but I wouldn't be carrying 1,000 Euros around in Rome. Unless you are very very careful guarding against pick pockets and thieves.

Sorry Dave, I have not used my Canadian debt card to access my US account to withdraw funds from the ship's ATM. We usually take money out at the casino and it goes on to our seapass account without paying any fees. When when we get home we pay off our credit card. Perhaps you can share with us if you can access your US account via the ships ATM when you return.

Welcome to Cruise Critic Hope you find a solution.

No, not the case. We were first class on Delta and my wife's bag was delayed. Could be the guys in Atlanta were holding back luggage from Canadians knowing we were headed home and would have clothes there.

Celebrated Canada Day here in Mexico by serving my friends peameal on a bun and poutine with cesars in the morning for brunch.

We have a couple of those coupons with no intention of now using. We are going to use them to purchase a cruise for our niece and she will provide us with the money. I guess one way of using and selling them.

Do they still have testing facilities at major airports?

I think Toronto is worse than Montreal. Albeit, I only flew to Montreal once with a checked bag. I remember it sitting on the carousel and this was a flight from Toronto. Maybe that is why Customs takes a long time. The unions have gotten together to delay you at CBSA to give the baggage handlers time to unload the plane and get your bags out. Everywhere you look you can find a conspiracy theory. LOL

Taxis can be cheaper. I like the peace of mind that when I order a car at 5 am there will be one there at that time. Thanks. Airport Limo in Toronto 1-800-465-3434
