Just as Covid hit we were passing through Singapore and had a triple upgrade in Raffles to a garden suite with a Butler! The hotel had recently been renovated and due to Covid had virtually no guests… it was early March 2020. We’ll never be able to repeat that experience again once in a lifetime experience.

@ThisIsOurRetirement 24 дня назад

@pinkpet25 24 дня назад

I learn something new every time I watch your videos. Especially interesting is the bid for a flight class upgrade as I have thought about it but didn’t know how much to bid or whether it is even worth a try. I will look into that now. I have only cruised once so I have little experience there and I do get travel sickness so hence I have avoided ocean cruises. Maybe I will try again now learning of your experiences. Last year I did the Danube river cruise and it was so delightful, I didn’t want it to end. Thank you for sharing.

I have travel insurance through our employer (my retired partner still has coverage through his benefits). Years ago we got a ViSA Avion Rewards card because the travel insurance, trip cancelation etc was included in the annual fee which was 1/5th of the cost of the insurance if we purchased it through the travel agency).

You guys need to understand what long haul really is. Anything over 16 hours is really long haul. Try living in Australia or New Zealand. We never do Europe or UK without a stopover. In our 60s, travelled to UK a few times now. Love Dubai stopovers. Fortunately we have reached the stage we can do premium economy, business class prices have become so expensive post COVID.

Doublecheck cruiseline insurance. Some of the lines only insure Americans. They won't insure Canadians.

@clnelson321 22 дня назад

I enjoy using budget airlines with the caveat that I will buy a drink or two on the flight. Yes, it's somewhat expensive, but the enjoyment and the buzz from higher altitude is always worth it. If you get a 40 dollar flight, a 10 dollar drink is very reasonable. Enjoy a drink from the best views ever.

We have done a mix of guaranteed inside and room selection. The 2nd time, our second cruise, we got deck 2. It was terrible. But the next cruise we didn't get our cabin till 3 days before and it was a super balcony! We're hoping with our TA this fall we will get an upgrade

Thanks for another great video! Can you explain what travel insurance does for you? Does it insure the cost of the trip, if something goes wrong? Or is this health-care insurance, for use in foreign countries?

@ThisIsOurRetirement 17 дней назад

It includes medical healthcare, trip cancellation, lost luggage, accidental death and car rental insurance, it's a comprehensive travel medical insurance.

@RockySmartDog 6 дней назад

Hello Tina and Norm, good day. Trust that all is good and well with both of you. I meant to ask this question, if you ever encountered it during your travel outside Canada. If we use e-sim data (only) while traveling, how do we receive sms text for the 2-step verification which banks require to login to their site? I scoured the internet, but never got definitive answer on the matter. Air Canada is much better because they offer 2-step verification via email. Thanks.

@ThisIsOurRetirement 5 дней назад

Some banks allow security questions to access your account RBC has this as an option. BMO hasn’t implemented 2 step just yet, we have other sites that require 2 step and we use a Yubikey for that. Hope this helps, also we use NordVPN when we travel for geo locating us back to Canada.

@RockySmartDog 5 дней назад

@@ThisIsOurRetirement Thank you for the recommendation. For sure we will have VPN once I am not relying on my office phone and VPN security. Retirement is coming soon. Take care and enjoy the summer in Ontario.

@ddavidson5 24 дня назад

Interesting about the bid for the Air Canada upgrade to business class but $18K for the UK-Canada leg is a lot, perhaps it's because you were booking relatively late. I typically fly business class overseas and most often book my flights 6 months ahead. Last time I flew overseas it was more like $3K business class with the laydown flat seats for the overnight portion over and premium economy for the flight back (as it turned out I was able to use Air Canada e-upgrades to get business back too). I guess with "last minute" sometimes you win and sometimes you lose.

@ThisIsOurRetirement 24 дня назад

We agree David that when you get a last minute cruise deal you pay more on the air fare ✈️ although it was nice to enjoy flying back Business class Cheers 🌺🙂✈️🍻

@ddavidson5 24 дня назад

@@BoninBrighton We went to Egypt last October for our once in a lifetime cruise up the Nile to visit the ancient sites, I bought the tickets the previous December. We flew business class Toronto to Cairo (stop in Montreal) and returned from Cairo in premium economy with free e-upgrades to business class (stop in Frankfurt) and I think it was $3,300 return I just cheeked and 6 months from now on the Air Canada website you can book business class Toronto to Bordeaux (my wife's sister lives near there) for $1888 (stop in Dublin) and return in premium economy (stop in Frankfurt) for $1,081. It's still not "cheap" but under $3K and a lot less than $18K.

@@BoninBrighton We flew Toronto to Cairo last October (business class over and premium economy back) for a once in a lifetime trip to see the ancient sites there.
