One of the best trips we have had on a world cruise was in Lisbon, with a company called " We Hate Tourists". Well we fell in love with them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tranquility Base Posted July 15, 2023 #236 Share Posted July 15, 2023 Malaga. Taxi up to the Alcazaba fort for a wander round, then walked down to the Cathedral. Strolled the fancy main shopping street. Tapas & drinks, then walked back to the ship. Tangier tomorrow. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tranquility Base Posted July 16, 2023 #237 Share Posted July 16, 2023 Tangier Everyone I have spoken with seemed to have a nice day here. We went on a wonderful tour to Chefchaouen, The Blue City. About 2 hrs each way, but totally worthwhile. Aided by having a great guide today. Shuttles were provided into Tangier which many took advantage of, as well as some private tours. Lisbon tomorrow, but arrival isn’t till noon (as per schedule). It will make for a nice long and picturesque sail in however. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Always a pleasure that. A DIY wander around today. Up & down, round & round, then some more up & down….just in case. The motto for the day… ….. if you don’t know where you are going, you can’t get lost. The main mission was ensuring you didn’t get run over whilst taking the duty photos of the trams trundling up Alfama. Two sea days before Holyhead on Thursday.

Rare OzKiwiJJ Posted July 19, 2023 #241 Share Posted July 19, 2023 @Tranquility Base a quick question if you don't mind. Are onboard accounts charged to your credit card at the end of each sector or at the end of the full cruise? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the last World Cruise Gaznjo did, someone asked them the same question and I think they said they got charged at the end of each sector. If none of the World Cruise see this post before Saturday, I will ask them when I hopefully meet up with a couple of them on Saturday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought I recalled something like that from a past world cruise post but want to make sure. I'm trying to do some budgeting for next year. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LittleFish1976 Posted July 20, 2023 #245 Share Posted July 20, 2023 I suppose you could always zero out your account every week/fortnight or so if on a very long voyage to control the size of each payment 'shock'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's mentioned under the Payments section of a cruise booking if you select to pay by credit card.. "If payment is made by credit card, you will be subject to an additional charge dependent on the card type. Visa and MasterCard will be 1.1%, American Express 2.75%, Diner's Club 2.3%, PayPal will be 1%. Debit cards incur no fees." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not worried about payment "shock", just trying to work out which financial year the transaction payments will fall into. Unfortunately it's not a good idea to attach a debit card to your onboard account unless you are prepared to have twice the expected expenditure in funds, due to the annoying holds they put on the cards. We usually use a credit card with a very decent credit limit which means those holds don't affect us but we have to "eat" the blasted credit card surcharge of 1.1%. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tranquility Base Posted July 20, 2023 #248 Share Posted July 20, 2023 I’ll ask at the desk when I get back from tour this afternoon. Just arriving at Holyhead. Nice to be back in jersey / jacket weather again. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Caernarfon and Snowdonia with 3 stops in that area. Very nice scenic drive between stops. A lovely part of Wales. Lucky with the weather as we had sun, whereas apparently the previous ship 2 days ago had rain all day. Belfast tomorrow, a DIY day for us.
