    An additional hotel with a bit of a view is the Marriot. We have stayed at every other hotel that offers a view of the bridge and Opera House from window or balcony, but not this one. I have booked there today for a pre-cruise night in October, mostly because of better pricing, but also to try it out.

    This is a very good place to stay. Great views and breakfast. Best of all it is an easy 5 minute walk with luggage to the OPT. Have stayed here many times

    Celebrity Drinks Packages

    Are you talking about the “all included” cruise fare price? As opposed to the cruise only price. With the added price you get basic Wi-Fi, a classic drinks package and service charges included. I believe you can upgrade the Wi-Fi and drink package. I’m not sure if this is available for all sailings. Maybe someone else would know?

    Tassie cruise in December is about the best cruise that is longer than a 2 or 3 night cruise but under 8 nights.

    Do you mean the Ovation cruise 7th Dec? 7 nights, goes to Adelaide and Hobart. We also have 4 nights on Ovation to Eden booked. Next year we are doing the Greek Isles on Celebrity Infinity. 7 different ports in 7 days. I’m exhausted just writing about it. 

    Cruise insurance recommendations

    I'm still trying to get my head around cruise insurance during covid.

     

    If I'm traveling on Princess and test positive to covid before I get onboard, I can't go, but Princess will give me the fare back as Future Cruise Credits.

     

    If I catch covid onboard, I will be quarantined, but all onboard covid related medical expenses will be covered by Princess. Plus I'll be given FCC for each day in quarantine.

     

    So if I'm OK with getting FCCs, then essentially Princess is covering covid for my cruise and I don't need any covid cover from a third party insurance provider?

     

    So is there any point to looking for covid insurance coverage?

    So it seems the only scenario you would need COVID cover for is if you were unlucky enough to get COVID pneumonitis and need to be medically evacuated for a ventilator? As everyone needs to be vaxed the chances of this are slim. 

    Back "on board".

    I've been away for a while since my short trip on Ruby Princess the cruise before infamy in 2020.Took my daughters on a 3 night bonding cruise. I never thought I would cruise again and now have four more booked from December 2022 to April 2023. I logged back into Cruise Critic to find that "Meat pies" and "How are the Swans going" is still a thing! I recognize so many user names and it's like I have come home.  I  had COVID in April  and survived 🙂 It wasn't great and had to have two weeks off work with a post viral chest infection. The consequence of asthma. To all you regulars, thankyou! (you know who you are) .
