The pickings are slim due to demand. The only discount I am seeing is on the Beyond for a 6 day cruise. I don't do E class or cruises shorter than 12 days.

Murano for the food and service... Tuscan for the views. So Murano ...

The kids will like it. It is a one and done for most ...

I would book directly. Rather than through a second party.

Since no one has mentioned the obvious. There is no AC on when the window is open. With no balcony it is not possible for one person to be outside in the elements and another person to be inside in the AC.

One more question. What type of currency would one bring along on a Danube River cruise? We are starting in Giurgiu and ending in Vilshofen. Will Euros work? Do we need to be concerned about getting local currency at the ATMs for each country? I realize that we can use credit cards at most places, but every once in a while you run into some place that just takes cash or it is nice to have for tips. I am probably overthinking this ...

The con is that they are just an open/close window and not a balcony. You are not outside ... Zero interest in them when they are charging balcony prices for the downgrade.

Boarding time is at 3 PM? Is it possible to board before? What type of power adapters are required for the plugs?

For our Christmas cruise last year the specialty reservations showed up 5 months ahead of the cruise. Keep on checking...

Golden week. Will you be seeing any of the festivities?

Is Qantas through LAX an option? I would go with Qantas myself ... Oops just read above. Qantas is better than Delta or United. Enjoy.

Does Princess have you sign the numerous $2 upcharge slips for a glass of wine? On Celebrity this was getting a bit tiresome ...

Wrong thread ...

I went to the Singapore Air gate and they were escorting people over to the early bag drop. I do not recall it being marked with a sign.

We are looking at doing a similar cruise in 2026 around the same time. I have a couple of questions. 1. How is the Intercontinental hotel? We are huge fans of the hotels we have stayed in so far. 2. What is the weather like this time of year? 3. Is the Millie still understaffed? It was back in December/January ...

It is meh... Now if you get one from Cafe AlBaccio with booze in it, it is so much betta 🤣🤣 Don't order a coffee, just order a coffee drink.

Was it caused by the Taiwan earthquake? Any ideas why cruises that go to Taiwan are not as popular?

What were the additional wine offerings?

Just curious what your thoughts are on the Caymus and Gingrich Hills wines? Agreed about the Decoy and most others under the Premium package price.

During our cruise one of the cruise ship staff was airlifted via helicopter to the nearest hospital...

You pay extra for the noise coming from the foyer 🤣

I think that this would have been or would be the best approach. When you leave the ship because your room is unlivable that sends a message ...

So if they did not sanitize the room for the OP, did they sanitize the room for the next set of guests?

Will you do a short review? We are interested in going during May also... Perhaps in 2026 ...

They need more room attendants and staff period.
