Re: visiting Canada in June 2025
Yes, we take our money there, their tourist industries depends on us. We are to blame actually because 75 million of us voted for Trump.

Re: Waterproof shoes?
I always take shoes that could cope in a rainstorm and an extra pair as backup, which might be something like a closed toe Teva and something for the evening. Most trips I just take three pairs of shoes and flip flops if I’’m going to a pool. I’m not a sneakers person on trips to Europe, they are too casual for me and maybe scream American.

Re: 1920’s Night
I for one, like shipboard activities. Last fall we took the Rhine/Octoberfest River cruise. Between the crews' entertainment nights and the passengers' entertainment nights it was an absolute highlight of the trip. It really doesn't require a lot of imagination or suitcase room to participate. I think it's more an issue of some people simply don't enjoy "forced fun". And that's why Tauck only "suggests/encourages" people to pack for a theme. Different strokes for different folks.
Re: Considering Pavlus to book our next trip...any thoughts?
Way in the past when I used a travel agent for booking a Tauck tour all communications with Tauck had to go through the travel agent. The required middle man was why I haven't used a travel agent in over a decade.
Re: How to dress for dinner
My wife and I were on this tour in 2023. It’s not overly dressy. I wore a sport coat a couple times, opening reception and one dinner in a fancy hotel restaurant. Most time for me, khakis or nice jeans and a polo shirt, My wife wore some nicer slacks and tops on a few occasions, but other wise nice jeans and a top. She accessorizes quite a bit with scarfs or a jacket to “dress up” her look. We did not go out looking for a nice or special restaurant on an off night. Switzerland is super expensive so we usually ate in the hotel restaurant or a more casual place.
Re: 1920’s Night
I would not take this 1920’s theme seriously for a nano second. For all you know, Tauck may supply the accessories for a 1920’s theme extravaganza! I also would not allocate extra room in my suitcase for a few items for a few hours.
Re: 1920’s Night
I will be doing a river cruise this fall. This sounds like a good night for Arthur's to me.
