In the past subject to availability people were allowed to change from early to late TD and vice versa, also open to fixed. I’m sure if there is space, changes would still be allowed for those who are unhappy with their initial selection.

Excellent news, I had been holding out hope that they would reinstate the TD option. Now I will consider Princess again going forward.

Certainly a step in the right direction. Now just put a classical duo on each ship and we’ll be good to go…

Where I live in New Jersey there were passing clouds but I think they added some interest to the photos. Maximum coverage here was 85%. Looking forward to clear skies and totality in Iceland for 2026.

We were on this cruise January 20th aboard C. Eclipse and it was full. These itineraries are very popular due to the very short season which is dictated by weather in the Antarctic region as well as penguins in Falklands and Argentina returning to sea by March. Highly recommend this itinerary if you get a chance to go.

That’s what I was afraid of, will keep closely monitoring reports before I make final payment decisions on these. Thanks.

So in the current scheme of things, would Rotterdam 12 nights Panama and 13 nights Westerdam transpacific to Tokyo be considered worthy of upgraded food or entertainment offerings? Or not of sufficient duration to get anything beyond the 7 day base level described here?

I think the talking issue is best determined if the performance is truly designed to be background music such as in an atrium vs whether it is intended to be a show in a dedicated lounge. The difficulty with Explorers Lounge is the proximity of the open corridor leading to the MDR.

Thank you, something to consider for sure.

Take a 15 minute cab from Curacao port to Blue Bay. Beautiful beach with small entry fee that includes chairs and umbrella. Food and bar onsite. Ask the driver to take a three minute diversion to see the nearby pond loaded with flamingoes. Arrange your pickup time with the same cab.

Yes that was the cruise, 3 nights to Nassau. Here is Leonardo dockside in the Bahamas.

It’s not just Alaska but frequently Europe as well. If you watch the fares closely it’s possible to get a comparable cabin on Cunard for considerably less than Princess, Celebrity, and Holland America. To me that’s an opportunity not to be missed.

It makes no sense that Cunard discontinued mailing out luggage tags when they continue to print and send a personalized booklet a few weeks before sailing. It’s somewhat useless and is quickly looked over and thrown away whereas the tags would be quite helpful.

QM2 will be overnighting in Reykjavik on her eclipse itinerary so I expect Cunard may offer tailored experiences both aboard and ashore. In Iceland totality will be considerably earlier at 5:45 (1745) in the afternoon.

I think picking the right ship and itinerary on Carnival will yield a more traditional result, not the rough clientele and drunken party experience that some of their shorter cruises are infamous for. Thanks for the report and glad you enjoyed.
