Re: Vaccinations for May
Given the chaos (this is not a political position, merely fact), I am not sure I would rely on the CDC's website being updated regularly or even with accurate information any longer. I would do what British suggested by conferring with a trusted personal physician.

Re: Considering Pavlus to book our next trip...any thoughts?
I personally like booking with Tauck not a TA. You can call and speak directly with a representative who often has access to details from TD’s about itinerary specifics. They can also put you on hold while they check with other departments to answer any questions you may have. I use a Pavlus TA for other travel such as ocean cruises.

Re: Belgium & Holland in Spring, Northbound April 17- April 25, 2025
My husband and I will be joining this cruise as first timers both with river cruising and with Tauck. We look forward to seeing you on board. We can’t wait as this is a bucket list trip for us!
Re: Luggage Requirement for Jordan and Egypt tour
I’m currently on this tour. As stated above, on the private charter flights from Jordan to Aswan, luggage restrictions don’t apply. The Abu Simbel flights will be only with your daytime use stuff (like a bus day). Our TD has told us that the commercial flight carryon 11 pound limit isn’t enforced, and that usually a small bag and personal item like an purse are typically ok.
Re: Food questions
Send a note to Tauck and tell your tour director. I have some seafood problems and don't eat red meat, this is not a problem, Tauck has always taken care of me (11 tours) and they give me a perfectly acceptable meal every time.
Enjoy your trip

Tauck Cuba: A Cultural Odyessy - Feb 2025
https://youtu.be/43Pw7HB7Luc
This 20 minute video describes in some detail the 16-22 February 2025 Tauck Cuba: A Cultural Odyessy Tour. The tour covered legal sightseeing and cultural locations in Havana and in Vinales Cuba. The question I ask all viewers who watch this video: "Is Cuba in Feb 2025 a Heaven or a Hell for the Cuban people living there?" Certainly for tourists such as myself, Cuba is a wonderful Heaven with many interesting places to visit and wonderful colors everywhere. Being a "People-to-People tour, you do get to interact with many Cubans directly. As for the constant Blackouts. Fear not, we were not impacted at all. Great Food, Very Good Hotel, and Intesting places to visit. I highly recommend all take this very unique Tauck tour.
Re: Tauck guests on small ship tours
Different strokes … There are bus people and there are boat people, and the two may never meet.
Put a different way. 😀
There are people that like to see the sights and people that like to sit around the bar schmoozing with the other guests, and the two may never meet.
Don't get me wrong, I like the schmoozing around a bar, but that's not what I paid thousands of dollars to do.
