We never use the Solarium and avoid walking through it because it's like a crowded steam room. So let the kids use it!

I don't know what the uproar is all about. We used this "new" terminal in 2021 and it was just fine.

Not surprising since 95% of people who start threads don't look to see what's already been posted. For reference, the existing thread is

AA das decided they don't want leisure travelers any more.

We're on the Diamond Princess in June and July this year.

And this includes things you wouldn't expect. For example, you cannot bring your personal CPAP machine into Japan without authorization. The auth is easy to get, but it's somehting very few people would even think about. I never even knew about it until someone posted in our Roll Call.

Remember that Celebrity no longer has "all included". It's now "some included" or "a couple things included".

We were on the Apex in 2021 and very disappointed in both the Rooftop and Fine Cut. Then again, we've always been disappointed by Tuscan as well...

Very poor wording. The final dependent clause could easily be interpreted to only apply within 30 days. They need to add an "and" before the "if".

They now ship to Canada as well. I also discovered that once you select to pick up at the pier, you cannot change your mind to have it shipped.

They also have sriracha.

The value is personal. The beverage package price only really applies if you would drink enough to hit that amount. If you only have one or two drinks per day, it doesn't pay.

In general, it's minute quantities of the lowest quality of wine onboard with several waiters and sommeliers making bad jokes.

Both the one I got in the email and the link above worked for me in Safari.

You had to pay for it?

Silversea is significantly better than Retreat in all respects except price - though Celebrity is doing its best to close that gap.

Day 8 will depend on when the ship leaves the port. I've never seen a chic night on a port day if the ship leaves after 7pm.

That would most definitely not be the issue. Debarking in Victoria would mean the PVSA doesn't even apply because you're no longer departing and arriving at a U.S. port. Then the entire cruise would not be legal (unless thery substituted another Canadian port).

And on the flip side, Fine Cut was substandard on our Apex trip, while I have a friend who just reported that Fine Cut was excellent on Beyond. As they say in investing, past performance is no guarantee of future returns.

Newfoundland and Galápagos are the only ones where we've had a difference.

So are we! Just got our boarding passes yesterday.

There's nothing stopping you.

Last I heard (today), it's supposed to be end of April, but that could also be ship-dependent.

Link your accounts. Problem solved.

We generally get mini-suites unless there's a huge sail on full suites. The size difference between a mini-suite and a balcony is greater than the difference between a suite and a mini-suite. I like the extra space of a suite, but as an Elite, I don't find the full suite benefits to be worth the extra money since a lot of them are duplicated by status benefits anyway. You get the minibar regardless of status.
