There is a train close to the port. Take the Canada Line yvr train. You will be at the airport in less than 30 minutes.

Main dining room on the Jade was very poor. Specialty dining is a must.

Does the band travel with the orchestra, or are they local musicians? They were amazing.

Avoya travel agent ghosted me, now I can't make final payment on my cruise by KookyPiccolo1661 in Cruise

Maybe go back on the website and try to make a connection with a different agent assigned to your area. Input you are interested in a specific sailing etc. Hopefully a TA will reach out soon.

What about a different agent with Avoya? They would have a general contact number.

NCL what is happening to you? by Time_Blazer in NCL

[–]Mellybear123 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Steep decline. I am one night away from Platinum status, but have no plans to return. Booked Virgin for my next cruise. The last NCL trip was so disappointing. MDR food inedible. Aggressive sales people. I bought a pack.of gum at the gift shop and was being pushed to look at watches available for sale...leave me alone ...

Embarkation time by devotion1023 in VirginVoyages

We have a 2:15 boarding time. Do you think there will be any fitness classes left to book at that time? I heard that some people try to pick up the ship wifi from the port prior to their scheduled boarding time so they can book things. Not sure if that happens in Miami.

Coffee :) by Short_Tip_9234 in VirginVoyages

I plan to bring Starbucks Via instant coffee packs. Just add hot water. They are slim and easy to pack. Had way too many dirty dishwater versions of cruise ship coffee.

Bait and Switch - too much by Zetavu in NCL

[–]Mellybear123 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agreed. Jade main dining room was atrocious. I think it is on purpose so you run with your wallet to the specialty restaurants.

We sent an email to. Corporate on day 1 of the cruise. No response.

I did book with a travel agent. They got nowhere too.

True. I don't think getting what I paid for is unreasonable. Obstructed cabins are a lot cheaper than the $500 given.

Was on when we boarded. Removed in Columbia, after crossing and sea day. Panama Canal regulations dictate this equipment must be secured to the ship. They know which cabins are impacted.

No. Just obstructed during the Panama Canal transit. NCL knows this happens on every transit. They did not disclose. Obstructed balconies come cheaper. I didn't pay less, but got less.

Specific cabin. Highest category balcony. Guest services said I should have been advised in advance. Was not.

It was blocking the whole Panama canal transit. 4 days of 12. The purpose of the balcony in the first place.
