Welcome to the boards

Could be wrong isnt flight to US no more than 24hrs for tests?

Wish they had added a port to my cruise instead of overnight in Stockholm

You know its bad when Switzerland who have so many splinters in their ass from sitting on the fence for decades joins in with sanctions lol

A cargo ship in the Black sea was hit by a "stray" missle a few days ago.

Sanctions including no flights etc have been in place by some counties since day 1, others countries have since followed and imposed them.

Receieved email regarding my scheduled cruise, St Petersburg removed and an Over night stop in Stockholm now included. Not the best result would rather have had another port such as Gdansk or Rostock but it is what it is! A night in Stockholm what can i do?????

London Heathrow is nearest Airport Train from London to Southampton takes about 2hrs.

Has this port of call been officially cancelled? Last email i received stated that they were monitoring the situation and a back up plan was in place if St Petersburg was removed from the schedule ( which it will be ) As well as the safefy of crew and pasengers there is also the fact If any government imposes sanctions on Russia to make it harder for them, is it morally correct that tourists on a cruiseship can go onshore spending money which may help in war?

I had same situation, like yourself i asked the question why i was due more money and like yourself i was informed it was for port fees and taxes! It makes sense really as ports will charge different amounts. If it was less than your original you would have FCC left over to use on another cruise if it is more then you pay the extra! Just like airlines when you change routes! They did their job and pointed out the issue obviously very clearly as you understood it enough to go into detail here, are they only less than helpful because you didnt get the answer you wanted? you want ketchup with your order ?

Got the same email from RC regarding my cruise

You need to read my words again! Bullies come in all shapes and sizes from those at school to those in power! A bully is just that a bully who uses power over those weaker to get what they want...In fact your reply to me could be seen as a form of bullying...well it would be if i actually cared

Im booked for May and im hoping they wont change ports. However due to the west threating sanctions chances are St Petersburg will be removed. Hopefully this wont last long, sanctions by the west means very little when Putin controls the on/off switch for most of the gas used in Europe. we can make it harder for them to do a bank transfer but they can basically shut Europe down by flicking a switch so im leaning more to Putin getting control of the 2 disputed areas he wants.

Og poster mentions concerns with situation in Ukraine which is why it has been mentioned

You should always take out insurance for any holiday. With regards Ukraine situation i asked a similar question a few weeks ago with regards cruises in Baltic that visit St Petersburg, no one can say right now what will happen my own thoughts are that at worst St Petersburg would be removed and replaced with another port. This is not a new war! Russia and Ukraine have been at war for 8 yrs over these disputed territories, but fact is Putin has had nothing to do for 2 yrs and now wants to let off some steam by flexing his muscles like the bully in the school playground trying to steal the other kids sweets!

You say its a 2 week trip! Does this include travel days?

What so its not true? They dont throw your baggae in the water if they dont get $$$$ So why say it happens? Or was it just a case of being billy big balls bragging about how much wonga gets splashed ?

point i was making was that it was mentioned that money had to be given to stop your luggage ending up in the water, thats then not a tip but a bribe and is corrupt even by African standards. And yes i agree if i use a service i tip but i wont be blackmailed into giving cash

Only if you are corrupt!

Not really a tip though is it!! In your own words Its basically a bribe to stop them throwing your cases in the drink!

Must admit i also thought this meant tipping extra got your bags to your room quicker but im glad you cleared it up in post above by saying its to make sure your bags get onboard not quickly as you said. Which ports would this apply to?

Hopefully for OP it is, however F1 is on a dedicated F1 sky channel which i believe is seperate from Sky Sports package.

The 1869 New Jersey vs. Rutgers football game occurred between the College of New Jersey (now Princeton University) and Rutgers College. It was played on November 6, 1869. The rules governing play were based on the London Football Association's 1863 rules that disallowed carrying or throwing the ball. For spectators, therefore, the game more closely resembled soccer[1] than gridiron football.
