I think really because it's morally the right thing to do. By the letter of their policy do they have to? Absolutely not. But I see a full shut down of the border as considerably different than choosing not to go. I have an Airbnb property here in Canada and I've given 100% refunds to every...

Sorry appears I mis-read what had been said, yes they are willing to do a partial refund based on the amount of time they were closed, so looks like essentially 4 months. But as of now there is no separate protocol for International Passholders that’s any different. So as it stands our passes...

Wow super good to know, I had thought I had read somewhere they were taking the price of like regular admission off your pass based on usage, so they’d remove the price of a 5 day hopper off mine if I requested a refund leaving it really not worthwhile at all. If I can get 11 of 12 months...

Yes unfortunately used already.

Nope I got the automatic email saying it would be extended unless I called for a refund, but I don’t want the refund as it wouldn’t be much, because I purchased the ticket and entered on 3/7, but also went to the parks after working all day in my hotel that week, so I went in 3/8, 3/9, 3/10, and...

Hey, does anyone know (or have any personal opinions!) on what Disneyland will do for foreign passholders if the borders remain closed? I live in Canada and entering the USA is simply not an option right now as the border is closed. Ideally they continue to extend my annual until such time as...

Be aware the grind is a pretty gruelling hike and not for the inexperienced or unfit. Average time is 90 minutes but that's going at a consistent pace. Don't take it on unless you know what you're getting yourself into! The comment about the weather is true when overcast, although depending...

Hi, I live in Vancouver and worked up at grouse for a couple of years so am pretty familiar with the place. You should go there for sure. Every stereotype of Canada in one place! Grizzly bears, birds in motion, lumberjacks etc. Not sure how great breakfast is but the experience is probably...

I heard from several crew (including one that we know very well) that they are headed to Spain. He was discussing what his contract would look like around the dry dock. Not that that's proof or anything but it seemed like it was common knowledge with the crew. I'd be stunned if it's Vancouver...

I have a feeling this is common knowledge already, but if not I believe she is headed to Europe for her dry dock sailing empty both ways.

I have a friend who was Concierge on board for many years, although he has now left the company. I remember when they added the envelopes and I made an off the cuff comment suggesting that presumably they took their salary away in lieu of the envelopes. I got a look that told a thousand words...

Probably your safest bet! All jokes aside, I can't help with the cruise portion, but I did work up at Grouse Mountain for a few years and your chances of seeing the orphaned grizzly bears are very good indeed. Spectacular creatures!

I just sailed in this cabin on the Wonder 2 weeks ago (and have sailed in this row many, many times.) Considering they are the lowest cat staterooms we find them great! No noise from above (except some maintenance one day), great location to all adult areas. We've had a cat 10 shake like...

Skip lunch and get in line by 12:45. I just did this on our Southern Caribbean sailing (only 1 sea day so very limited inventory.) I was second in line, they opened at 12:58, and I got brunch no problem. Was totally worth delaying my boarding lunch to get the Palo booking...

The Pacific Gateway Hotel is a close and much cheaper alternative to the Fairmont with a free shuttle from YVR. Both are excellent options but for a more reasonable price the PGH is great.

I strongly believe this change to the policy is just the start. Limited the amount as phase 1, then cut it altogether in phase 2. I have been very loyal to the brand but this one is seriously testing my patience. I urge everyone to formally express their displeasure if we have any chance of...

I hate to say it but I don't see Canadian offers coming any time soon. They offer them to fill up the ship, but occupancy seems high right now. I hope they come but I'm not convinced.

You are wise to head up the day before. If I was going the day of I'd rent a car and drive up super early before I took the train as at least if you get a breakdown you can get a new car etc. But even still you never know what issues you may run into at the border, the the night before...

Without any hesitation, Sasha. He's been serving at Palo for many, many years, and he is a class act!

I have to say, while the increase is minimal we did used to typically try and have 2 dinners in Palo (space depending) on a 7 night cruise. I think for me it's reaching that point where we would only have one. For the meal for two plus tip we're looking at around $100 before the purchase and...
