Considering it after multiple Celebrity cruises. Would appreciate any and all input. Will be in a Veranda cabin.

What are the main differences you have noticed?

First time Oceania cruiser - considering the Nautica. Any issues getting a table for 2 for dinner?

First time considering Holland America - can I get a table for 2 for dinner every evening?

Does anyone have recommendations for a clean and comfortable hotel in Southampton, preferably with a good breakfast?

I was in the Beyond on a Transatlantic and absolutely loved it. Eden (for relaxation and cocktails) was a pleasure. And don’t get me started on how great the Rooftop Garden is! On a cruise of this nature, it was great to be able to sit close to the windows in my cabin during the day and gaze at the sea, opening the window if weather permitted. I loved it so much I booked another Transatlantic E-class cruise next year. it just shows, everyone’s tastes are different and we should be free to express our opinions on this board without facing denigrating comments.

Breakfast or lunch are good if you want something light.

Very few. I was on the Beyond transatlantic and not a lot of masking but a LOT of coughing I wore a mask in the elevator, in the theatre, and when the buffet was especially crowded.

I have been in a Sky Suite twice. My last cruise was an infinite veranda on the Beyond. I loved rotating dinners at the 4 main dining rooms. We also ate twice at specialty restaurants. I preferred this food to Luminae, particularly since it may be difficult to substitute food from the main dining room on an Edge class ship.

Cabin 7230 was fine. Just minor noise one night during extremely rocky seas, which is to be expected.

I got 3 emails and I have only 2 cruises booked.

Does anyone know how and when we can find out our boarding time?

Not sure if this was covered - what non-alcoholic beverages are included with Classic package?

Thanks. I assume that is US funds.

For how many days?
