If our ship is scheduled to dock at 10:30 and the Flam Rail schedule says 10:45-11:43 ,,, can we make this train?

I guess the question is does 10:45-11:43 mean the times of the road trip of is 10:45 the boarding time and 11:43 the the actual departure time?

Otherwise all times are sold out for our August cruise. Yikes ...then we have to book the cruise line tour at more than double the price.

Any ideas ?

Does anyone know when X starts sailing to Coco Cay will people with the All Inclusive Drink Package be able to use the package on CC?

Do cabs in Japan generally take credit cards for payment?

thanks

Has anyone stayed at an Haneda Airport Hotel with a free transfer to the hotel.

We are coming in early evening before our cruise and feel perhaps this would make sense if the shuttles are efficient.

Any thought would be appreciated.

Our flight leaves at 4:15 now..I always second guess in the end anyways but thought change it now before that flight is gone...Who knows maybe another change coming..Travel is like that now..

 

thanks you.  

I think it may be a good idea to be the last person off the ship ..... you don't want to get to the airport so early that you could make the early flight .... however if you do, perhaps AC will let you stand by for the early flight if you decide to try to make it.

How obstructed are the NCL obstructed OV cabins?

How hard is it to push a BOGO past the 2nd day of a cruise?

Thanks for the link.

So now .... neither Royal Caribbean or Celebrity have South American cruises for the 2024-2025 season. Very interesting.

I guess the Equinox will make more money sailing the Caribbean.

Come on Royal Caribbean Corporation both Norwegian and Carnival Corporation have ships in South America. I guess we will have to sail NCL, Princess or HAL if we want a SA cruise next season.

The Equinox is heading there in December 2025, 

 

What about the Dec 2024 to March 2025 season?

No Celebrity cruises .... a whole season not there?

Does anyone know if Celebrity will have South American cruises after this season?

There are none to book for the 2024-2025 season.

e

If you are D+can an you book a specialty restaurant for day 1 or 2 prior to the cruise for one person and then show up and and with another D+ cruiser and have that person eat for free?

e

Flying in the day before .... should we stay near the port or a hotel near HND?

Any ideas or recommendation would be welcome.

Thanks.

Does anyone have any insight into New Years Eve on Viking Ocean ships?

Will it just be like any other night or will a special New Years Eve celebration be planned?

Thanks .....

Looking at the NCL Sun

Which ship are you looking at?  I have stayed in foward facing O/V cabins on the Bliss and Encore and the bed is not under the window. They have a window seat (no cushion) with a huge amount of storage under the window. 

Are there any OV cabins where the bed is not directly under the window?

If there is what category or cabin numbers please?

What would be the best way to get to Miami for a cruise from St. Petersburg, FL on the day of the cruise ( a Saturday in March 2024).

Would you drive or fly?

We have a party the night before that will not end until around 10PM so thus the dilemma.

Thanks for any thoughts in the matter.

On transoceanic repositioning cruises, will RCCL ever allow a BOGO specially dining  benefit on a date later than night two?

Thanks for any input.

The lowest price by far for a balcony cabin on an Edge Ship is a Guarantee Cabin.

Are their some really awful Edge Balcony cabins that would make it to problematic to go with a guarantee?

I don't mind front or back of the ship or even the deck. But are their some for example that have smaller room size or smaller balconies etc?

Trying to same some money as X is ramping up the cost of cruising.

As a D+ cruiser .... we now find the Diamond Lounge more enjoyable than ever. Gone are the days when folks would arrive at 4PM ( an hour before drinks are available)and see how much they can drink before last call. If you arrived at 5PM you would have no chance of getting setting. So yes, we still go every day ( sometimes for a drink or just coffee) but we always love to share cruising stories with fellow long term RCCL cruisers.

ALSO: If you are reading this RCCL ... don't even think about eliminating the coffee machine!

e

Let's face it .... Sorrentos is not a pizza anyone would pay for. RCL know that ... their main concern is how much will this effect future bookings. If everyone says you will still sail then be prepared another cut in the 1000 cuts RCL is rolling out and Sorrentos will have a charge. Next will be reservations for a fee for shows, flow rider, bumper cars etc. RCL will keep adding fees until a real push-back happens and bookings fall. They hoodwinked ever one into Specialty Dining by lowering the quality of the MDR.

This is the WOW factor ....Worst On Water.

e

I'm a bit confused by this thread. When booking first opens up should you first:

1. Book the included tours? or

2. Book the tours that require an additional payment?

e

Has anyone heard whether the EU is moving forward with this requirement? Has X or any TAs mentioned this?

Will this be another hoop for us cruisers?

e

That is why you bring a bottle of wine on board to drink on the first night!

e

Is Celebrity still offering the Elite Breakfast with Mimosa and Bellini etc?
