yea in fact overall since I joined CC I hear more stories about every cruise line. So many things can and will go wrong. Feel bad for the families of the two.

not leaving but not changing either. I have a cruise on Symphony this year, and wanted to move to next year around the same time, well it would be $1k more so staying put. RCI must be trying to pay off debt sooner than later.

You can or could purchase an All Access tour that does all three. Really interesting and I have done it on Ovation and Oasis

Like others might have said, if pricing for 1, the website should not bring up rooms that require 3-4. And also have an option to select no changes if you still want the room. Glad I have stopped sailing on HAL as I do not like the changes/refund policies and so now this is also annoying as well.

I agree then you know the whole story. Wow this was certainly sad. I would be nervous if I were a crew member living near that part of the ship.

advice is to book the Cinque Terre tours as soon as available. I held back for just a few days and all 4 were gone.

and that includes the Wizard of OZ show on the new Icon,. Getting rave reviews.

yes I agree as I liked the Horizon much better. I liked the french toast better as they use the grill from Guys right around the corner.

well here is wishing you good luck. Living in FLa does make it easy. I forgot the Xcel is coming out.

no I do not think so and I agree with the advice.

I hope you have in your bucket list the Skagway train in Alaska. It is great and do it in May or June with some snow still on the mountains

I have wandered over to Princess and NCL for a few of my European cruises next year as they have better itineraries and prices. But I would not ditch RCI for good as they like any cruise line are trying to make up for Pandemic. I do feel ICON and STAR are way over the top with pricing though and glad I got my good price way back in Nov 2022 when pricing for ICON opened up.

I will reply before this thread is closed. On any given week each ship might have issues but I feel the overall do the best they can. Specialty restaurants is a way to get more variety. Overall, there is not a 4- or 5-star restaurant IMHO on any ship. Most food is pretty good. Stick to veggies and salads and the wonderful bread is what I do a lot as I am on the ship to see things and enjoy entertainment. Back on land I can cook for myself very nicely. Cruising is not about cuisine like it used to be.

welcome I like quite a few things better on the Horizon than Celebration.

one way to solve this problem would be to only let 1000 folks off who booked shore excursions prior to the day either on line or on the ship. At least some folks could get to go ashore. I mean the ship I was on last year already parked around the bend behind some rock island. this way money would still flow into the town, but not the quantity of people. just my solution not looking to argue.

served in buffet and was better than what they had on newest ship

I suppose even she is allowed to only say so much. I bet she has asked her husband who is an engineer. perhaps the problem is the way the room units were built before assembly. I will be on Beyond in Nov up front forward facing

Oh yes I have and I was joking you know

Thanks for replying

Thanks for advice and I will consider it since the chances of C Terre becoming available is most likely slim

VERY GOOD AND TASTY. I had one almost every day and like the fixings bar. As a side note: on the Horizon, they use the grill from Guys to make the french toast. they do not do this on Celebration as Guys is up and further away from buffet. Therefore, the french toast is better on the Horizon.

well I have an ocean view planned for this fall and I am near the bridge. I hear a lot of creaking, I will go down to guest services and ask if I can speak to someone from the bridge and then question them if they hear the noise. My luck it would be Capt Kate who would tell me no all she hears is her cat meowing. ha ha.

I continue to find HAL hard to understand. I do not like their refund/changes policy and I do not like the various promos that if not careful, might not be so good down the line. HAL runs their pricings and polices different than Princess or Carnival even though part of the same corp. But I would never buy standby on any cruise line as those folks would be the first to get bumped if oversold (which is another story as well)

wow they all look interesting but I can't be gone for more than 17 days so I will have to pass but thanks for the list of opportunities I will have to so hard no too.

excellent so I can't wait to get on the ship. Sun will be my 2nd new ship as I am doing ICON of the seas in May. Funny each ship has a dome in the front of their ship but for different purposes.
