I’m really pissed off right now. I’m at the airport and trying to figure out why my Europe e sim isn’t installing. I talk to the esim provider like ??? It’s always worked easily multiple times in the past?

They tell me it’s probably cause my phone is Locked. I say nahhhh. I bought the phone outright (at Fido store but I paid for full thing with my credit card). It shouldn’t be Locked. Heck even when I was on monthly plan phone wasn’t locked. Isn’t that illegal since like 2017?

Anyways I check and YEAH they blocked my phone. I try customer service and it doesn’t let me talk to anyone and keeps giving me automated answers. Same in chat. All they say is “we can call you back tomorrow. Schedule a time”

Well they can’t call me back! I’ll be on a plane !!

Any idea what to do?

I tried calling, chat, and even Facebook messenger! Nothing works :(

Would they even be able to do it when I’m abroad ??

Please help 😭

My travel partner is unable to go on our cruise (flights leave in a week) should I cancel or go solo? Feeling anxious about solo cruising.. convince me ? 😅

I was supposed to go on NCL Viva cruise that departs in like 10 days out of Istanbul. Was going with someone who has unfortunately just broke her foot and can’t go. I can try to pursue cancelling with credit card insurance cause my companion can’t go…. But should I?

I’ve never travelled outside of the country by myself. On one hand, I’m fully competent/ capable (I’m the one who has planned every international trip and cruise I’ve taken. I do the work everyone else enjoys the trip lol). I’ve done countless international trips fully planned by me. So I’m not worried about logistics.

But doing it alone seems….scary?

But also lonely? 😔

I’ve solo travelled domestically in Canada and while I’m fine and end up having good time, I do end up getting a bit lonely after a while. Nice to share experiences with others you know?

But on other hand I’ve heard solo cruising is a thing. Especially on NCL. I know they have meet ups and stuff. But are they all seniors? lol I’m in 30s and I don’t drink or party etc.

I was planning on doing my own excursions not paying for them. Will it be lonely and sad? :(

I really reallyyyyy need a vacation. My docs tell me I need a vacation 😅 but feeling unsure.

Please convince me to go. I’ve got the regular “single woman travelling internationally” anxiety. But also the solo aspect.

But a part of me feels….OMG THIS COULD BE SO FREEING TO GO ON VACATION AND ONLY WORRY ABOUT MYSELF?!?!! 😅😅😅 ONLY WHAT I WANT TO DO, WHEN I WANT TO DO IT???

My mom and I were going to go on a cruise in Europe. We bought our own cruises on our own cards. I bought the Air Canada flights for me and my mom on my aeroplane card to take advantage of free checked bags for me and my mom.

My mom has since had a really bad fall down some stairs and broke her foot. She is very immobile. We are trying to figure out our options and if we can even cancel at this point ?

Would TD Aeroplan visa infinite credit card refund both of our tickets if my mother can’t go ? I know only spouses/children are covered under insurance. But I can’t go because of her….is that a valid reason to cancel both and get refunds?

And slightly unrelated but….she purchased the cruise on her credit card which has travel insurance so she should be fine. But if I try to cancel….I booked it on my roger cash back card cause I wanted to use my cash back on it…. Would I be SOL with attempting a refund with that card? (I realize it’s separate issue than this group but figured I’d ask if anyone knows!)

Thanks for any help!! Panicking now as our trip is like 10 days away :(
