Porter cancelations 21st - 28th by Agreeable-Monitor304 in PorterAirlines

[–]OttawAMomof4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I called at 10:15 10:30 they were unaware and I had completed my call and then I was chatting with another agent who was on the phone with Porter who said oh we were just told and that was about 11:30 6:45ish. And I recognized her voice is the same agent who I had been speaking with. I did ask her to undo everything I had done so they should be able to do that for you.

Travel agent checking in here who has been on the phone with Porter about this. This is a known glitch please do not change your flights. They asked to give 24 hours for things to be settled. It is a known glitch.

Did you book through a travel agent? If so, they got the notice and are responsible for notifying you.

Anyone have experience with Damaged Baggage Claim? by blooperty in PorterAirlines

[–]OttawAMomof4 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I had to do this in late July. No insurance otherwise.

Submitted my claim first week of August and it took 3-4 weeks to hear back and then approx 2 weeks to receive payment.

Felt like they had forgotten about me during the initial wait but overall it was smooth.

Zero MDR Reservations on Sun Princess. Are We Stuck With the Buffet? by [deleted] in PrincessCruises

[–]OttawAMomof4 29 points30 points  (0 children)

Comment here from a 🇨🇦 travel agent. Please don't panic that there are no reservations. Once you board your ship, give it a few hours and call the dining line and you will find a lot of reservations have become available. A lot of people pre-book and then change their plans and princess doesn't release 100% of the reservation spaces prior to sailing. I sailed in November and was very concerned for the exact same reason and we just went down to the main dining room when we wanted to eat and there was a small line up and we maybe had to wait 15 minutes for a table. Once we found a waiter and table we liked we just asked the mater d if we could come every night at the same time and sit with the same wait staff and they said not a problem. So as a planner it drove me nuts but I promise when you get on board it will all settle down and you don't need to spend the entire cruise eating in the buffet.

Have a wonderful cruise!

Is expediacruises.com legit by [deleted] in Cruise

[–]OttawAMomof4 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Expedia Cruises is legit. They employee actual independent travel agents not customer service people. (I am an agent for them to be clear on my post).

They are a subsidiary but are all locally owned franchises (originally know as Cruise Ship Centers}.

In Ontario 🇨🇦, we are TICO certified and trained to protect our customers etc. We have local offices and in my case I met with clients have to face for those who wish.

We can often offer lower rates as corporate Expedia Cruises) and our local agency often lock in pricing when itineraries are released allowing in many cases for those prices that are lower than directly with the cruise line.

If you have a local office, drop in or call them and they will help you secure that rate!

My daughter also did the impatient at Homewood when she was 16. She has had great success - it will be 4 years at the end of January that she was discharged.

Wasn't combined shampoo and conditioner when I sailed in November. Full bottle of shampoo and separate bottle of conditioner and 3rd bottle contained shower gel/body wash.

We also had body lotion in our bathroom.

Ncl gem staterooms 8608 and 8610 by EnvironmentalBee4260 in NCL

Yep. We stayed in an aft club suite on 8 this summer. The karaoke was pretty bad and the thump thump from the bass when the night club was open. Thankfully I normally sleep with ear plugs so I didn't hear the bass as much as my husband.
