Cruise Junky

If I get one more email about sailing the Caribbean, Bahamas or CocoCay I’ll scream. They put all their darn ships there and now you can’t sell them without a daily sale email. 🤦🏻‍♀️

As of right now, we’re clear but who knows what next week will bring.

Found an Australian article that speaks to Riviera being based in Australia which fits with the Sydney port schedule but she could be doing both australia and Asia. Vista is on the Darwin port schedule in April which fits with a world cruise timeline. There is also an Oceania “unknown” ship in Sydney about 9 days before which is also likely to be vista.

You know to look at a multi city booking right? And not two one ways?

I loved it. We stayed I. Brisbane and took the bus. Don’t miss the babies

Too early for April. You may get Maui but Kahului

You are correct. Booking the first two legs would be a violation. Adding the third puts you in the clear. Speak to their manager and ask what part of the PVSA is being violated by sailing Seattle to Sydney! Someone likely didn’t see your Honolulu to Sydney booking.

When did they sail? It seems like this menu is only a couple of weeks old so if they sailed more than a month ago, their opinion could be irrelevant

Allura I think.

HAL does a 35 day version too which IMO is a better itinerary.

My husband detests mashed potatoes. Going to be a fun 17 nights 🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️

We’ll see. Next cruise is solstice, my favourite ship. But with the concentration on shorter cruises, caribbean neither are appealing. We booked 2025 on Azamara. We cruise for the itinerary and Celebrity are starting to suck at that.

But insurance doesn’t cover everything unless you pay quite a bit extra for cancel for any reason. For instance the Hawaii cruises. One cruise line substituted Seattle and Victoria for 2 days in Maui. Not exactly the Hawaii cruise the poster had in mind when they booked. According to Oceania’s new policy, $500 pp Insurance won’t do anything. Ship is still sailing. You know what doesn’t come with a $500 cancellation fee at 180 days? Land trips 😂😂

No idea. Haven’t boarded in either.

I saw that. Super weird. On the September NS cruise down to the Med, if you board in Dover it was only guarantee, but Rotterdam, wide open

There’s an overnight on the same sailing in 2024

Just a heads up. Some of the itineraries are now completely changed from yesterday. The cruise we were going to book is now completely different.

I didn’t see any. There’s one on NS that is very close to the 2024 sailing that has the overnight in Cairo but nothing going down as far as Petra. Azamara has a nice one that we’re booked on in October 2025

Hmmmmm. Have not heard of that before. Can we trade it for a Gin House? 🤷🏻‍♀️ Great to see some new options.

This! We had it booked before and after our NCL cruise. 1 night was enough, cancelled and booked the moana surfrider for the return. We’ve stayed at the Ilikai, Sheraton, Surfrider, Hyatt & Marriott. I would return to all of those but not the SPK.

Lobster table side is the only thing I ever order from Murano. Will keep an eye on this before buying a dining package.

Nice find. Thank you.

Anything other than jumping into the water is too horrifying to think about.

Let’s do more than thoughts and prayers and donate.

My brother and SIL are there now. They were supposed to leave tonight, they’re up by Kapalua so safe at this point. So sad.
