  1. This is from my research. In your case I believe you would only need a single entry because you are only entering the country one time. The ship will be running down the coast to get to the second port and not going out to international waters. These are great sites about Vietnam Visa and another about the visa requirements. Vietnam visa multiple entry or single? All answers are here! - AN Tours Vietnam https://antoursvietnam.com/vietnam-visa-guide-2024/ https://antoursvietnam.com/tours-from-phu-my-port-travel.../
  2. I am not saying i know but I would try checking in at 7:00 or 8:00 pm EST. The Jewel is currently in England.
  3. Take anything and everything. My son is 28 so I have not had to deal with this for a few year. I did cruise with my son from age 8 to adult. I am a single father with full legal and physical custody (mom not involved) and they always would give me hassle for not having the consent from the absent parent. I would have the divorce papers and often still had to ask for management at the ship check in. They would tell me things like you are the father so there has to be a mom involved. So with that said, if possible take signed consent forms, copy of birth certificates and divorce papers if not still married.
  4. I have just asked the first day and have not had trouble. But if you "Need" and not just "Want" I would send a request to special needs.
  5. I just went though this with my cruise out of Australia. It ended up being 45 days before the cruise and the time where the ship is located. The actual time changed on us because the ship was in New Zealand and not Australia. Most people think it is East Coast Time because almost all of their cruises are out of Florida. One of these days the group that programs the app will talk to the group that programs the website and they will get them to match. They also need to use one standard time and not the ship time. Maybe when I retire next year I can go to Florida and fix their software bugs.
  6. I am researching now for my TP cruise April 2025. This site is great Vietnam Visa Guide 2024: Must read for your Vietnam trip - AN Tours Vietnam
  7. fly to the least expensive airport, Bush or Hobby. We flew into Bush, got a hotel near the airport and got a lift the next morning to take us to the ship. the lift was about $100 from the airport hotel to the ship. At that time only Lift could deliver inside the port, Uber was trying to finish a contract.
  8. it does not look like there is a set pattern. One cruise UDP was available 6 months out. The other one did not have UDP, they offered 5 days and 10 day packages. Looking at my April 2025 cruises 12 day Singapore to Tokyo: UDP $470 & 5 day package $220 15 day Tokyo to Seattle: No UDP, 10 day package $360 & 5 day package $220 7 day Alaska: UDP $327 & 3 day package $132
  9. this one was very good and they keep the group small. Unforgettable lagoon tour around Moorea 2024 (viator.com) I also did this one at Tahaa and it was great. 1/2 day Tahaa coral garden - departure Raiatea / ideal for cruise passengers 2024 (viator.com)
  10. Below is what is on the website. It does say "Additional fees may apply to booking changes or cancellations" but that is the legal small print and not reality. If they did not allow us to cancel and rebook you would know because everyone would be having a fit. **************************************************************************************************************************************** Advance reservations and purchases may be made up to April 10, 2025.

  11. I do not know why so many are saying such strange things. Just go to a slot machine. Pull money in from your account. As soon as you pull it into the slot machine you can cash it out. Take the ticket to the cashier and get your cash. It will charge your cabin account and at the end of the cruise it will go against what ever card you have on account. This also works when you have extra OBC. Note: You do not have to play (unless they recoded in the last month). You do not have to be a member of anything. You just need your room card and a room to charge on your cabin account.
  12. I am sure your son will get all the benefits. I only say that because my last cruise I had midnight pizza a few time with a group of Tweens. About 1/2 of them get the free drinks a day and they shared with their friends. they would go over and get sodas on their 4 to 6 drinks a day.
  13. I like this change. I am tired of looking for new cruises and seeing a price of $700 then when you go 4 more screens in you see the port fees and taxes takes it to $1000. the next cruise will be $700 and the port fees and taxes only take it to $800. this will make my browsing easier.
  14. I just did that on my last B2B in April. I hit the 210 mark to get my second crystal. On my first cruise I just went to the Crown & Anchor desk and let them know what was going on. They looked up my account and confirmed the milestone. They made sure my points were updated for the second cruise.
  15. You should have an account for each person. If you have cruised together you should have the same amounts of points. If you are not sure call crown and anchor and talk to them. I am guessing you have an account and did not realize it.
