Yup agree with the above.

Yes found more on US site and even one I liked. Thank you for your help.

The cruise is over. I do not consider that cabin an upgrade, even though we had a porthole, it felt like we were in the dungeon. Did our best to spend as little time in the cabin as possible. Yes it was a good cruise. An inside would have been preferred as they are all on higher floors and mid ship.

Thank you. Yes saw very few options for us if we don't want allura. And no prem air offers for anything but allura. Will look on the us site, the Canadian site may be incomplete.

Thank you, will look now.

One more. What will be available for viewing ? Booking on Oct 4? Will post what I get back from O rep.

Open for booking or viewing?

Yes for allura, has been out for a while. It's the others that interest me. Emailed my O rep, will see if what he sends me will make sense. Now with cancelation penalty of 150 pp, I want to see all possible itins before booking.

We had an inside guarantee, we're given an ocean view with port hole on deck 3, just above water line. Would have preferred am inside on higher deck. Will not do a guarantee again.

Very good cruise. Did the Pacific coastal as well. Met some great people including you Feta. Just got home late last night.

Originally this was supposed to happen on Oct 4... So now I am really confused, what's available for viewing, what's available for booking.

Proof that it is out of control when there is a question about what I mean. Pretty easy to understand. If it is the consumer that is subsidizing wages lines don't have to pay. Why would I encourage that.

Examples of out of control tipping. Only encourages low wages and passes it onto the consumer. Reign it in folks.

we will see what it is like when we dock in LA the first time, may reserve the uber then for a week later, when we disembark on the 27th... also will see if we have any obcs left, may just use them for O transfers...

We did our own air as well. We have a 12:15 flight out of LAX. Hope it's not difficult to get Uber.

our cruise ends at san pedro , Los Angeles port what is the best way to get to LAX, uber or ? cheapest, most reliable? thank you in advance.

We need to get to LAX from Port in LA. Is supershuttle easier, less expensive than Uber?

I believe astroflyer is on the 27th, right after our Pacific coastal.

Thank you for starting this topic. I will be adding to it. We were offered a concierge level and although there are really few benefits, for 200pp we took it. Went from a b2 to an A1. For the second leg, we have an inside guarantee, not yet assigned. Will post what we end up having. Originally only going with carry ons, we have been doing that for the past 3 cruises, even a 14 day TA. But this is a 20 day with two totally different climates, so we added a small suitcase. Flying on the day, direct, air canada, 5 hours, leave at 7, arrive at 9. That's it for now.

and you will get that "international crowd", when you travel internationally.

Only one of our cruises is listed. We are in a b5 cat on Vista, March 16, colonial America. We could go to b4, for an extra 600pp, no sale, makes NO sense.

And to add to that, the huge air prices make it silly to do short itins.

We are attracted to O because of the longer itineraries. Other lines hope you will book their shorter ones back to back, so you wind up paying more.

Prioritizing all the issues that make cruising enjoyable is how cruiselines aim for financial success. Food, itineraries, health and safety issues etc are most important to ALL cruisers.
