TravelerK Posted March 24, 2023 #156 Share Posted March 24, 2023 Was supposed to go on a B2B on the Miracle (Hawaii and Mexico). Flew to LAX, using my passport as my photo ID (I don't have any other photo ID). Remember seeing the passport in my hotel room the nite before the cruise. Got to the cruise terminal in Long Beach next day, and my passport was missing. It has disappeared from the face of the earth. Was denied boarding. Managed to fly home (in a complete state of shock - too numb to even swear or cry). Icing on the cake . . . Brand new suitcase being used for the first time, arrived home with 2 wheels, instead of 4. (Other than that, Mrs Lincoln, how did you like the play?) Have applied for new passport, paid for expedited handling (5-7 weeks, instead of 8-11). Fingers crossed and praying hard that it arrives in time. Karen 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope you (and other transAtlantic cruisers!) can stop by and we’ll get to meet and get to know one another; should be a great 15 days.

The problem is my situation wasn't treated as a renewal. Since I lost my previous one, I had to start over with the ton of documentation. And one of the pieces of documentation was supposed to be an official, unexpired, photo ID. I don't have any other photo ID; my passport was all I had. I'm hoping they decide a stupid old lady deserves a break. One piece of good news: As expected, my travel insurance denied my claims. But since I bought and paid for the insurance at the time of booking, Carnival will give me a 75% FCC that I can apply to a couple future cruises. So I'm not totally out the money.

steve_lisa_ohio Posted March 25, 2023 #166 Share Posted March 25, 2023 Hello- We're going on the Venezia Oct 28 Journeys trip. I love going to the spa and look forward to hearing how Carnival outfits this one. Has Carnival listed spa options for the May 29 cruise yet with more details yet? Splendor had thalassotherapy & rasul couple's mud room treatments that I wish they'd add to every boat but I'm pretty sure neither will show up on Venezia. We're excited with over 200 days to go- I can imagine how amazing you guys' inaugural cruise will be! 😍 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LuvtoCruise50 Posted March 26, 2023 #169 Share Posted March 26, 2023 I’ve been looking a train tickets from Paris to Barcelona on May 27. The prices have gone higher and higher. When I first started looking they were around $160-$180 for two….now they’re over $400. Any suggestions? We can fly on Vueling if we have too, but we’d rather take the train.

Paris Gare de Lyon May 27th 11:43 arriving at Perpignan at 16:52. It is a direct train (the fast one...) Perpignan (Gare routière next to the train station) Bus departing at 17:05 arriving at Barcelona (gare routière) at 18:33). Total price 152 Euros per person. Cheers!
