  1. Normally, when you're provided with an arrival time at a port of call that means the approximmate time that you'll be able to disembark. The ship is likely to arrive well before the 'arrival time' in order to tie up, get the gangway(s) in place and complete the necessary clearances. So, an 8 am-ish arrival time will mean an 8 am-ish time for going ashore.
  2. With an early morning departure, I suggest you consider staying at the Sheraton Brussels Airport hotel.
  3. Hmm... I'd say you may be borderline on a cost perspective and then you'll have to factor in the less tangible aspects of making the transfer... time and hassle.
  4. It's very easy. I'll warn you to check your sums though... air fare is likely to be significantly lower but make sure you add on the cost of trains, hotels, meals, local transportation and generally the hassle of making the shift before you decide on your 'best flight'.
  5. Yes; I meant to say that you are not asked to upload your vaccination record during the on-line check in. As you correctly stated... bring your record(s) with you as you may be asked for them.
  6. So, if you want to order a package for two people (two devices) what do you do? Does each person need to access the app under their own name and purchase their own 1 Device package? I had a lovely conversation with an 'Ocean Navigator' agent yesterday about the problems I'm having with a side-to-side this coming December and she assured me that everything has been properly arranged for both cruises and I have nothing to be concerned about. She did say though, that I should check again about one month before departure. Hmmm... I don't like to be negative but I am a wee bit sceptical about the 'everything is properly arranged' statement.
  7. When checking in you will have to complete an attestation that you have been fully vaccinated or provide details on any exemption. You are not asked to provide the vaccination record... I wouldn't care to speculate on the consequences of being caught completing a false/unsupported attestation.
  8. True enough. The OP could have simply included a couple photos of some random stranger holding a cheque made out to her son (which we have to accept on faith) simply to demonstrate that he had won the prize.
  9. How do we know that the guy holding the cheque is any relation to the OP? Just because he says so in the story?
  10. I'm sure you know we can't get them shipped to us whether we're willing to pay. Probably something to do with shipping these kind of devices across the border.
  11. Yes, that's pretty much what I'm anticipating. I have to do this on a day when I'm pretty sure my head won't blow up; I'm sort of expecting a major runaround.
  12. @Bruin Steve and @scottca075 I trust your opinions on this kind of thing. Although it's a year off, we'll be arriving in San Pedro (Princess) on Sunday, Jan 7 from Fort Lauderdale (a Panama Canal cruise so probably not a hoard of locals onboard). My preferred option for a AC flight from LAX to YYZ departs at 1155 and I can book this about a week from now. Setting aside the possibility of significant and pretty much unpredictable delays on the part of CBP, traffic, earthquakes and plagues of locusts do you think it would be reasonable to book the flight planning a walk-off with our luggage and using a taxi from the port (I'm not too concerned about saving a few bucks on Uber... I just want to walk out of the terminal and get into a car to the airport)? We have TSA Pre-check.
  13. I was green line for an Emerald Princess cruise but then we decided to book a Sky Princess cruise for the week beforehand and turn our trip into a S2S. Now I have an unholy mess on my app. Who is the 'Ocean Navigator' and how do I contact this fabulous entity? Or, do you mean call Princess and hope to get in contact with an agent with the where-with-all to work through the situation?
  14. Are you able to walk up and down a few flights of stairs without significant effort or a sense that one of your knees may collapse (mainly coming downstairs)?
  15. Depends on the exact question you asked them but I'd say that whoever answered was wrong if it was a simple B2B scenario.
  16. We've flown AT into FCO a number of times (Club Class) and like it. You can take a bus from FCO to Naples if you want to avoid trains and/or connections. For a July 1 departure, you better get moving on making your flight arrangements. I see AT Club Class for the direct YYZ-FCO is booking up quickly. https://www.fiumicinoexpress.com/?lang=en
  17. I thought I'd resurrect this thread because we've decided to take a Princess S2S in December, 2023. First cruise is on Sky Princess, followed by Emerald Princess. I have seen some good advice on here and am wondering whether anybody has done a S2S recently and what their 'transfer' experience was like. We don't really mind walking with our luggage between the two ships as long as they're not located at the far ends of the piers although getting a shuttle lift of some description would certainly be a more attractive option. A taxi would be OK too, but I would like to know whether there may be other options.
  18. With the hint provided, all those cargo ships in the background and a bit of sleuthing: https://www.indiatoday.in/world/story/noida-twin-towers-await-demolition-skyscrapers-that-faced-similar-fate-pics-1992583-2022-08-25
  19. Well, this is something I've never much thought about. In Ontario, kids are off school in March (March Break). At Easter, they'd only be off on Good Friday and Easter Monday; this is not a typical time for planning family vacations.
  20. Although it's a little early, you may want to compartmentalize the website experience and the actual cruise experience. Until you get onboard the ship, think of all the clicking and searching as a game.... it's easier when you look at it all as a challenge with an eventual cruise reward!
