I am planning a cruise on Vista for next June. Does anyone know if using the Oceania air if they fly you to Venice and transport from there, or if the flights are direct into Trieste? Contemplating doing my own air. Thanks.

• Bid Offer: $435 (originally $515, but reduced during 20% off sale on Black Friday)
• Notification Date: 12/13
• Accepted / Rejected: Accepted
• General Comments (offer details, etc.) I was not expecting to get upgraded with my minimum bids, but was upgraded to a Magic Carpet Sky Suite 3 cabins away from my original booking cabin. Note: I wasn't sure this category was included in with regular Sky Suites. I was hoping to have the bed that looked out at the ocean. 

I was in an Aqua Class for my Beyond cruise next month, so when I got the MoveUp email, I offered the minimum for a Sky Suite. On the Black Friday offer, I reduced it to an even lower number, so I was definitely not expecting to win...but I did!

Since the original booking, I added the upgraded drink package and the upgraded wifi, which I think come with the suite. Can I cancel those and get refunded? 

I read that we keep perks that we have. Does that mean I still have access to the thermal suite and Blu or do I trade that for the suite perks?

Thanks!

I currently am in an Aqua Cabin (A2) on Beyond and did a MoveUp offer for a Sky Suite, Sunset Sky Suite, and an Aqua Suite. When I look at inventory, there are 10+ Magic Carpet Sky Suites available, but that category wasn't included in the bidding options. Are they lumped in with the regular Sky Suites, or what would the reason be that they weren't offered? Thanks.

First time on Celebrity (January 2 Beyond), and I want to upgrade my Wi-fi with the Black Friday special. I don't understand the pricing and hope someone can help/offer advice. Ideally, I would like to upgrade both of us. This is what I have as the pricing available:

Can someone please explain the differences? Thank you.

I am on Symphony in September and got a RoyalUp offer a few weeks ago. Starting bids were $125 pp for large balcony all the way up to $5,300 pp for a Royal Loft. On Monday, I got another email and this time the prices ranged from $170 pp for the large balcony and the Royal Loft is $7420. I was all set to try and bid on a Crown Loft with a min bid of $800 pp, but when I go to bid, the min price is now $1135 pp, which is even more that the 2nd email, which listed $1120. Is this normal? I think I'll just stick with my balcony in a good location.

Spend the weekend together in your smallest bedroom, then decide.

It recently changed to allow the TA to bid on behalf of the client. From an email I received from RCI:

• You, as their travel advisor, will also have the ability to handle the bidding on your clients' behalf. You'll be notified of the opportunity at the same time.

Are the freestyle cups the same on every ship? I left mine on the ship after my first cruise, thinking I would never cruise again..LOL. Went on #2 in Jan. and have two more scheduled. Can I just bring my cup from my recent cruise, or do I have to get a new one each time? Not trying to get out of paying, just trying not to waste them.

Yes, your travel agent can book it for you. It just has to be managed over the phone rather than online.

Have you used the contact on the website for this:

Per company policy, we allow the tossing of a biodegradable urn containing ash while at sea.

Ashes must be in an approved scattering or biodegradable urn and the entire urn must be tossed. A certificate proving the urn is biodegradable may also be required. Guest will need to provide the death certificate and cremation certificate. Upon boarding, contact the Front Desk to set up a time and place for this request.

All requests must be submitted to the following:

Email: gfotravelservices@rccl.com 

Phone: 1-800-256-6649 (Prompt #1 twice)

I think you will have zero issues with this cabin. It's only the hallway area near the elevators, not under the Windjammer/CK area. My recent Royal Up was the same cabin on deck 11 and we loved having the extra space on the balcony.

We had Teppanyaki and Giovanni's last month on Odyssey. The food at both was fantastic, but you could not beat the sunset view at Teppanyaki. It was unexpected and made the experience my very favorite meal.

I used them last week on Odyssey with the refillable cups.

Thank you so much for all the photos and videos. We really enjoyed ourselves on this cruise and are currently sitting at FLL wishing we would have booked another while on ship! 

Just saw a group of 70 on a cancelled sailing was able to move to a different ship on the same day. How is that going to help anything?

NCL cancelled two cruises today - one was supposed to sail tomorrow and one is heading back to port instead of doing the Panama Canal.

Looks like vacation to me

Not disagreeing with you, but definitely not the protocols the cruise line is promoting.

So, watched the video and see most people don't even have a mask to pull up - no food or drink in sight. Is this the norm?

Is there a place we can track ships denied by the various ports? I feel like it's not a lot in the scheme of things, but it would be nice to have a list in one place.

I'm interested in the number on the Odyssey sailing 1/15, since it's open for booking as of now. Is there any way for us to find out definitively? I've seen other posts with current cruisers getting numbers for future cruises.

I am on the 1/15 Odyssey sailing. Grand Cayman was supposed to be our first stop, but of course that was cancelled and replaced with Nassau. II assumed that was because Coco Cay already had ships, but see no others there on 1/16. Is there some reason they would choose Nassau if CC is available?
