Thanks for the quick response!

I have been on all the S class and familiar with room layout for cabins. Looking at Constellation and never been on M class. Does the location of the bed vary by room as on S Class? Have been looking on the spreadsheet but not all cabins are listed. I prefer bed by bath. Thanks for any advice on this. Gail

Will have to try that place

Just prior to Covid I had to cancel a week before sailing and did not have insurance with celebrity. They offered to move it two months out but that would not have worked as that was when surgery was planned. Covid would have cancelled it anyway but did not know that. Had insurance with credit card company and recovered funds. Doesn’t hurt to call. But not usually the norm.

We were in Naples and bought tickets that day and made the mistake of not buying return tickets as did not know we could. We did when we arrived at Capri but had to leave earlier than wanted and had to go to other port. There was a shuttle waiting to transport to other port. This was a holiday weekend and a Sunday. This was some years back.

Did you have a drink package on Oceania?

According to FAQ's, now 1 per person is a recent change. So you are correct for double occupancy. In April it was 2/person.

Date of Cruise: April 22, 2023 TA Ship: Apex Cabin #: 9310 Deck #: 9 Cabin Category: Veranda - Sunset Veranda Cabin Location: Aft Bed Position: Bath Balcony Type: Sunset Veranda Balcony/Window Size: large Balcony/Window View/Obstruction: None Balcony Overhang?: Minimal Magic Carpet Issues?: N/A Noise Issues?: None Wind Issues?: None Connecting Cabin?

Would You Book It Again?:Yes

Just read the one per person in the FAQ section. Was 2 per person in February.

We don't have trains where we are so was very anxious about this but have done a few times. Follow signs to train. Go to ticket machine at Airport.If option, select English. Select where you want to go: Amsterdam Centraal, purchase ticket with CC. Take escalator or elevator down. The platforms are marked very well. I selected a train that was direct to Centraal Station. There are others that make a few stops. Exited at CS. If you go out the front of the station vs the water side, you are closer to the hotel which is where we stayed. If you exit the back, not a problem. Out the front, turn left, out the back, turn right.

We were on Celebrity and The Holiday Inn is at the cruise terminal - a very short walk. Look on Google maps. However, your ship may be at a different berth. Check out which berth your ship arrives.

What hotel are you staying? Many are a short walk from terminal.

You can choose your flights and price them with celebrity and thru airline. Don’t have to take their suggestion. I personally would not take the flight arriving at midnight. That would be the last flight of the day and more of a chance it would be cancelled. Go for best cost but don’t rely on celebrity getting you there on time as this is a holiday time and airlines and airports will be very busy. Recommend going a day early from someone who has missed two sail aways.

Regardinf cafe Al bacio - pastry is always complimentary even if don’t order drink

Did B2B on Equinox in February. No issues with food in MDR.

Rent a bicycle and ride around the island.

That’s frustrating. Did you select and insert the amount of OBC when reserving? Found it is not automatic. As your cruise in October, thought you could make changes with out fees prior to final payment which shouldn’t be due at this time. Hope everything else works out ok for you.

Interesting stops. Wave to us as you pass Detroit. Mackinac Island is fun. When are you sailing? Hope to meet up again with you.

Might want to call to book.

Thanks.

Sailed on Apex but only ate in Eden and not other specialty venue. Will be on beyond and purchased a 3 night package. Does not list which venues are included or excluded. Any info on that?

You pay gratuity for drink package when purchased or per drink if no package. Not twice. Hope that answers your question.

Thanks. Will look into that!

We did that a few years back on a cruise stop in Lisbon with Spain Day Tours.

Great photos. I have that same photo of the thatched roof row homes with the colorful doors.
