where-to-next

We were on the same cruise. The only person that got off the ship at Devil's Island was the pilot! The planned landing by tender was of course complimentary, whereas all zodiac excursions were overpriced.

Don't know yet, we don't board for another week.

About 2 weeks before your cruise you will receive a notification advising of your boarding time. Although the email will politely warn not to arrive early, as you will be turned away, most people ignore that and no one is turned away. On our last cruise, we arrived at the port at 1200, were checked in straight away, and directed to a waiting room which already contained a large number of people. Boarding commenced at 1230 and we were all on board by 1245. Enjoy your cruise - Steve

Steady on Art! We won't be out of that cabin (918) until 0900. But promise to leave it in good condition. We board in Rio and are getting pretty excited too!

On a recent Odyssey, New Zealand cruise, the sky bar was seldom open. We sat up there at lunch, when we couldn't get a table at the grill. Interestingly, we will be in 918 on the Quest next week. Obviously a popular cabin!

Thank you both. We are on a 27 day cruise but will be travelling for a week before we board, so will be in need of a laundry.

Hi Charleyben, I have just downloaded the App and claimed my perk. My email states Stockperks is reviewing my submission and will respond in two working days with the next steps. Interestingly the application wanted to know my income (I skipped that page) but not my booking reference or sailing details! I await with bated breath!

Having recently attained Gold status am I correct in believing that my wife and I can now both claim a complimentary bag of laundry? That being two bags a week? If so, do we have to wait seven days before submitting the first bag?

Thanks all. I'm sure we will be very comfortable at the George!

Our Venture cruise in June concludes with flights from Longyearbyen to Leith and overnight hotel accommodation included. We would like to extend our stay in Edinburgh and ideally stay in the same hotel. Does anyone have any idea which hotel Seabourn uses in Edinburgh?

On our recent Odyssey cruise we were allocated a 1400 boarding. We arrived at the port at 1200, quite prepared to wait but were checked in straight away and advised that boarding would commence at 1230, we were then directed to a waiting area, where about 100 passengers were already waiting. We were on board by 1245 and the cabin was ready.

Thanks for that. It did sound too good to be true!

I have received the usual Move Up email from Celebrity and notice the starting bid for Aqua class is only a couple of hundred dollars more than Concierge and yet Aqua includes drinks and tips etc. Am I missing something here? Are drinks and tips included if you are successful in an Aqua upgrade bid?

Thanks Nancy

Can I just confirm that surplus OBC at the end of the cruise can go towards paying gratuities?
