Thank you for the very useful info. Best.

Looking at taking a short cruise on Royal Princess, we are attracted to the Reserve Collection Mini-suites. Because we are only on the ship for a few days I want to try to ensure we don't waste too much time getting to grips with that vital issue of where to go to eat??!! We haven't sailed with Princess recently so are hoping for guidance about the meal venues: 1. Am I right that Concerto is where we would go for dinner each day and for breakfast and lunch of sea days? 2. For breakfast (including departure day), do we also go to Concerto? 3. Concerto for lunch on port days? 4. What about embarkation?

Thanks for your comments guys

Just booked 28 days with Seabourn and I am looking to answer a simple question. I know you guys will be able help. We were recently on a Silversea cruise, which was not as good as we had expected, but one thing we loved was that the wine we had requested for the suite fridge was promptly replaced as we drank it (and we had asked for champagne!). I have a feeling that, although Seabourn will provide an initial stock, but once it is gone, it is gone. To be clear I am referring to wine, not spirits, beers or sodas.

I will be on the Nova in a couple of months and this narrative has been really helpful in the planning. One issue: if I take my laptop, is the safe large enough to accommodate it?

Do not sweat about it. Last autumn I was horrified to find that I had managed to pack only one black patent leather shoe for my 27 night cruise on QM2! Having fretted about it, the head waiter told me not to give it a moments thought. I wore my ordinary brown shoes to each of the formal nights.

Panic over! Ovation does not disappear next April! Seabourn decided to change the booking reference because of the change to the end port, but only just did that. That meant that arrangements I had made under the old booking number were cancelled. The emails I had were about stuff I had ordered on the cruise, but in referring to them they said: "cancellation of your cruise reservation has resulted in the cancellation and refund of the following purchases"! I presume the itinerary will reappear on the website when they load the revised routing.

I am booked on the Ovation next April. Just got an email which reads as though our cruise has been cancelled. The ship seems to have disappeared from the Seabourn website from April for a couple of months. Any of you guys heard anything about this?
