was this a new booking? or your agent reduced your existing one....

Was anyone able to cancel and rebook? If yes, did your agent honour the original perks they gave you? NO way with ours. So we keep our B3. Just too great a difference to move up a few categories.

the sept 2024 itin is 13 days, not 12...and has a much better itin....not interested in San Fran at this time...but yes not getting a 4 cat upgrade ...both are all available....so maybe there will be another sale for the one in Sept...meanwhile I will book it a month before our next sailing with O to get the discount and reduced dep....not as great as a 4 cat upgrade though... thank you for bringing the May one to my attention...

will check it out....if early may then maybe we can to it...after that the pool is open...

the whole point of taking a carry on is that it does NOT get checked in....then risking waiting for it for a long time or risking it being lost... Air transat goes against the most common measurements so they can charge you extra.... fortunately I have a carry on that is under the required dimensions....I did a trial pack and was amazed how much I can get in there...I am almost looking forward to the experience of going with only a carry on and a knapsack...yeah for 15 days...

we are all booked up for the next two years...only have Sept open...and the Alaska itin we are interested in is not on sale...will book it on Oct 19, that is 30 days before we sail in November, to get the perks....

you can say all airlines...but no denying, Toronto airport voted worst in the world several times in a row.... even good airlines are totally off their game because of the chaos at the airport....planes sitting on tarmac for hours...luggage seen lying around the tarmac...etc...just horror stories.....

guess experiences vary..depending on whose story you listen to... .but our Airport...Toronto, has won the dubious distinction of worlds worst airport several times in a row....WORLDS...can you imagine...terribly mismanaged...I could post horror stories..but I am sure you are familiar with them....we have no choice...could drive to Buffalo...but will just go two days ahead and hope thats enough....

oh yes agreed.....that is why we are no longer on Celeb...love O....and hope to accumulate significant loyalty within the next couple of years.... yeah will be scouring for a good TA...ours is very generous with rebates...but that is about it....hard to find a combo for both....

thank you...but made a decision to take a smaller one... was AT on time...no delays? we are going 2 days earlier to BArcelona just because of the chaos with flights.... will do AT stopover in Montreal....thought it was better than doing AC to newark...newark is a zoo ...and toronto is a nightmare...but have no choice...we are here...

How is the food ? Yes subjective, is it the same as in your previous experiences with O?

How is the food on the ship?

wow, didnt know it would be so difficult... we are relatively new to O....only 3 cruises....50 with Celeb....have RCI shares, only took a day or two and the response would be direct from Celeb...no need to bother the TA.... this is certainly different to say the least....

yes sent my TA an email to get us something in writing.... he should have done that without me having to ask....we cant just assume it is there if we have no way of proving it.....

ah yes...not the right place to post this... and you are right...not willing to take any chances....have a smaller bag and will use that... thanks to all....

anyone use Air transat with a carry on? how strict are they with the carry ons...hate to buy new luggage over one inch.

I went to "manage your booking"...but there is nowhere that says view credit....so there is nothing on the account for me to see.... all I have is a letter from my TA saying that we got it...but no other info.... guess I have to get the TA to give me an updated invoice....otherwise I will have an issue when on board....

Got it....thank you to all here....

Yes that is correct, as I thought, so in my case since the price has gone up, the labor day sale does not have the same value. Also the selection is of no interest to me for a new booking.

our price has gone up....so not worth it...does anyone think you can upgrade but keep your original price? I wouldnt think so....

left this one to respond to others at the time but here it is now... being able to afford in my case is about making what I spend more important than what I earn...in fact that is how the average person becomes a person of means...the spending is what gets many in a very debt like situation...very difficult to climb out of... the other point is that , sailing with O is less expensive than sailing in a suite on Celeb....but you dont have to put up with kids or with all the activities that we do not value...a suite on Celeb segregates you from those in "steerage". I dont value that segregation. In fact when they started to build a wall in the dining room, I knew that was the end of cruising with Celeb.

Have no idea why the hold up for us, unless they are not doing November yet.

Our Jan 4 has gone up 200 pp ...and it may go up again before the sale.....so cancelling and rebooking to get 4 cat upgrade is not worth it to us.

This itin is not included in the Labour day sale. That is what I meant by, no Alaska from Van to Los.

Yup I agree....but still dont have it.
