Rare graphicguy Posted October 7, 2023 Author #581 Share Posted October 7, 2023 A few observations… -no liquors or cigarette cartons visible or sold in the gift shop…unless they are doing a good job of hiding it from me! -bought two bottles of Limoncello in Naples today. Not inconspicuous at all. Upon returning to the ship and putting them through the x-ray machine, and expecting them to confiscate them and give me a tag to get them at the end of the cruise, they let them pass, no issues! 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
schmoopie17 Posted October 7, 2023 #582 Share Posted October 7, 2023 (edited) Looks like they're monitoring CC. They're refunding the French VAT on your cruise. Edited October 7, 2023 by schmoopie17 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare graphicguy Posted October 7, 2023 Author #585 Share Posted October 7, 2023 VAT update…. 10 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare mking8288 Posted October 7, 2023 #586 Share Posted October 7, 2023 Duty-free cigarettes & liquor shouldn't be in the "gift shop" sections of the ship, now that you possibly getting VAT refunds, go hunt them down - if I remember correctly, they are located in a different area, toward Mid/Fwd section of the ship, walk toward the Fwd elevators but they only open up on sea days, outside in open water. It's in another spacious area, just ahead of Tradewinds, starboard side toward the Bliss Lounge & Fwd open atrium. BTW. loving these great pictures. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In July there were hardly any tours heading south due to traffic. I elected to go to Sorrento, and we were 58 minutes behind schedule just getting there! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not all travel agents participate in the program. It’s my understanding that yours is one of them. (We’re not supposed to mention travel agents on this site.) Thanks for the tip....I may have to monitor the Haven price on the Costco travel site then. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare graphicguy Posted October 8, 2023 Author #592 Share Posted October 8, 2023 Another observation…..re-embarkation on both front and aft doors. Been wondering why they have not been doing that all along. Alleviates big bottlenecks! Sushi at Wasabi last night (after pizza for lunch). My pallet is diverse! 😉 It was VERY Good! 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now that Starlink is active, curious as to whether options like PAYG by the minutes are still being offered and price changes, we only saw 100 minutes and 250 minutes as the only other options for $75 and $125 respectively. If and when you get a chance, please check, TIA. Enjoy the overnight stay - night life after dinner ?? BTW, all the pictures are loading & posting "right" side up and not upside down, well done with the tips on fixing it. FYI for others: Camera settings - just did this to my iPhone SE22 to make it more compatible with Androids for unlimited storage: How do I turn off HEIC photos on my iPhone? Go to “Settings” and scroll down. Find “Camera” and click on it. In the opened tab, click on “Formats”. Now you can choose the format “Most compatible Edited October 8, 2023 by mking8288 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
depplep Posted October 8, 2023 #600 Share Posted October 8, 2023 Loving these pictures! We stayed in the Campo de Fiori last October. It's really bringing back memories. I hope you're having a good time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
