General Cruise Discussion

No local reps, so TA is e-mailing them.

They do deal with local TAs, so should be able to take care of it.

Myself and Mrs FB, plus the folks are all booked and confirmed on the Greenland trip

are all booked and confirmed

Sounds like makings of an AFF Greenland conference. Now how to make it work related...

Well, there are some lectures onboard... you could ask if they could do something medical?

Which 'they'?

Was the pricing per the website?

It certainly was. Folks contacted them the same way we did, payment in GBP though (which is fine).

Only fly in my ointment is that I've just finished booking an award trip to Europe in October next year, on QR. That will be my 4th trip overseas. A fifth might be stretching things , so the award trip might have to go. Fortunately via Alaska and Velocity, so pretty cheap to cancel.

Waiting for the TA to get back to me.

Oh! Opportunity for back-to-back and to do Greenland properly.

I could propose a medical trial. Before boarding blood pressure compared to blood pressure watching the scenery with a G&T. Amenable to massaging the data to whatever suits the narrative.

I need to find the folks flights to CPH for it from PER, so I'll have to reacquaint myself with how QFF works...... Should hopefully be able to find something on QR or EK.

Don't forget SQ but it's 18hrs in SIN

 

[Flashback]

Don't forget SQ

They've got a pool of around 1m QFF miles, nothing in SQ I'm afraid!

Not on QFF you won't as far as QR goes ...

Fly to LHR (QF) then CPH (BA Eurobusiness sometimes for less than Y in same aircraft.)

I'm guessing J return is a bit like a unicorn on that route though. Wonder if it's worth splitting these posts out in a Greenland expedition cruise thread?

 

[RooFlyer]

Ugh. That’s me out. TA just advised that the only single cabins are triple shared and a high category with a huge single supplement. It is a bit late for booking to expect anything different on the discount front I guess.

I’ll see if there’s anything left on the following cruise.
