Ray and I have been traveling since 8/2 & have had no problems at all! We flew to Rome from LAX connecting in Montreal. Flights were on time & luggage arrived with us. Boarded the Explorer on 8/6 for 7 days ending in Venice. No Covid testing or masks needed.
Then we flew from Venice to Prague thru Vienna &, again, no delays or luggage issues. Spent 3 days in Prague & had a driver/guide from CK Shuttle take us from Prague to Budapest. Had a leisurely drive thru Vienna & Bratislava & spent 3 nights in Budapest.
Flew yesterday from Budapest to Athens with a layover in Istanbul. First leg about 45 minutes late but made connection fine & all luggage arrived. Just boarded the Explorer again for 22 days around the Greek isles & Turkey. Covid tests are currently required here as well as proof of vaccines but we hear that that will end early September.
Just wanted to share a good story after hearing about travel delays & luggage nightmares around the world.
