I am on the B2B Reykjavik - Quebec - NYC cruises starting September 8th. Where can I find the dress for each evening?

I sailed both Regent and SB within the past year and found them virtually identical.

. I had very knowledgeable sommeliers on Silversea when I was on them 2 years ago.

My agent handles everything, the booking, deposit and final payment. She asks me for the credit card I want to use, and e-mails me the receipt after final payment. I've never dealt directly with the cruise line.

Booked a B2B on the Symphony: March 12, 2024 - March 27, 2024, Singapore to Mumbai; March 27, 2024 - April 13, 2024, Mumbai to Piraeus.

Explain this statement.

I thought B2B counted as 1 cruise for Special Initiative purposes.

This link takes me to the Manfredi video, not one with Birger or Rick.

I was on the Seabourn Legend (440 feet long, 10,000 tons) in November 2010 for the crossing from the Mediterranean to Florida. About 5-6 days in we encountered force 10 seas. Bounced up and down a lot, but I was surprised how well the ship rode it all. Must have been very good stabilizers. There was none of the tipping to either side that I've experienced on much bigger ships in similar seas.

I'm booked on a BTB starting September 8th on Serenity. Reykjavik to Quebec City and then Quebec City to New York, arriving on September 27th.

I was on the 2015 and 2016 Crystal world cruises. We had to leave the passport with the ship. At the end of both cruises, there were quite a few stamps in the passport.

I have both those discounts, yet my agent said that Crystal told her I was not eligible for the air credit. The only other credit I can think of that may disqualify it is the $250 for having made a deposit on February 1st. Anybody have any other ideas?

I was on the Crystal WC in 2015 and there were at least two instances I know of where people left and came back.. One woman left the ship in Perth Australia to fly back to Europe to witness the birth of a grand child. She returned in Mauritius. There was a couple who did not like the ocean crossings. They left the ship in Lima and returned in Tahiti. I do not know if any special arrangements had to be done in these cases.

I don't know about the date in question, but I flew on TAP from Lisbon to Newark in April, and the flight left Lisbon at 6:30 PM.

Don't know why this question even comes up. It's very simple. You come to your table whether it be a solo or for eight or anything in between, between the hours published in the daily program for the meal in question. No consultation with any other passenger is required. The only "etiquette" is not to chew with your mouth open.

I got the Crystal Society discount, the back-to-back discount, and the on board credit for having made a deposit when the bookings opened up last February.

False. At least twice in my 50+ years of flying I have been forced to check bags after I have boarded the plane and arrived at my seat.

I figured I'd check with my agent, even though I've already paid in full. Her response puzzled me. I thought she'd say because I've already paid in full, I wasn't eligible. Instead she said, "Because of the other promotions that have been applied to your booking. The air credit does not applicable to this sailing." This seems to imply that even if it were a new booking, I still wouldn't get the air credit. So, apparently, other promotions can invalidate the credit. Maybe I missed fine print somewhere.

On both WCs I was on, I had one haircut mid-cruise on the ship. Couldn't be bothered researching barbers ashore.

December 15, 1972 - T/N Raffaello, 8 night crossing New York - Genoa, student fare, tourist class, $150.

Yes, there was a lot written at the time. I believe some passengers were interviewed. Searching the internet, I don't see a lot of it now. Here's one example: https://www.cruisehive.com/crystal-serenity-to-debark-in-bimini-after-denial-in-aruba/64996

108 nights, Crystal World Cruise 2015. It would have been the 132 day 2022 Crystal Grand Voyage, but 3 days in, the parent company went bankrupt and all passengers disembarked after the first segment.

Viking is not luxury.

Days at sea. Ports are just an interruption of the flow of onboard life. I take a ship to be on the ship. If I really want to see land ports, I'll fly there. Just came back from a crossing from Miami to Barcelona. We stopped at Bermuda and the Azores. I'd have preferred to go non-stop from Miami to Spain.

I went solo on the 2015 WC and had a fantastic time. In fact, I met a nice lady and we went together on 2016.
