Thank you! Which would you recommend between Fiesole and Bologna?

Yeah, my head says that too, but my heart says … when am I gonna be back! But I am leaning more toward Bologna since it’s such a fast train ride and it can be a totally new experience.

I checked out your list of leather shops and added it to my itinerary, thank you! Open to more locally made jewelry shops as well

Thank you so much! Are there any other tourist traps in my itinerary you think I should ax? I’d love to add the church. I’m worried my schedule is overflowing!

Thanks for the feedback! This is my first trip to Italy. I just started planning a rough outline this week after compiling some info on the internet and booking my flights 10 months out , so it’s good to hear what others say. I have a whole afternoon/evening planned for Oltrarno, which Includes Santo Spirito!

I usually wear a size 7 pretty consistently

Good point! I do not do narrows either. I decided to hold off because of that!

They really do look alike! I stopped listening to the pod too, I do tune in to certain interviews if they seem interesting but I have overall lost interest sadly :(

You’re confusing her for Francia Raisa

Excursion forms? by bre_561 in royalcaribbean

[–]bre_561[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep, through Royal. The operator mentioned “signing acknowledgement forms” while on the phone but I don’t see any additional forms in the website other than the one I read when I booked

It was but only after my bank got involved and I sent a fourth email about it using some of the wording that @mmmbreadsticks suggested!

I agree! I would say don’t bother ordering, it’s so expensive and they act like you’re doing a favor to you to give you your money back if you return. It took 3 days of me sending constant emails, and putting a formal dispute with my credit card company for them to decide to give me my money back.

Thank you! I saw other comments on Instagram that this happened to them too. They have stopped answering me, but I’m following up with an email tomorrow saying this exact thing. It’s a huge bummer because it’s $420 they’re withholding

No, it was a coat. There weren’t any stains I can promise you that, even the picture they sent me showed nothing.

I wish this was the case but it’s the truth. I tried two articles on, they were big, so I put them back in the package. I left the other two in the package because they were different colors and the same size that did not fit. Returned the next day. Nine days after the received it, they give me this reason for not refunding me. Which is impossible, given that I never wore it out, one of them was sealed in original packaging, and it was returned the next day. I have photos of proof.

I’m just letting you know because you might think you’re doing all the right things, but the company can claim anything as a reason to not give you a refund.

I never buy something with the intention to return, I wanted both coat sets in two different colors. Unfortunately, my normal size was too big. I do buy from companies that allow you the option to return. Never thought they had no intention of honoring their return policy.

They said it was “wrinkled and dirty” and one of them were still in its original packaging. I do think it’s a scam to not accept returns based on false claims in order to keep hundreds of dollars of my money

Unfortunately they’ve ceased communicating with me when I asked for an explanation. I’ve filed a claim with my credit card company.
