OP I appreciate you taking the time on your vacation to create this thread. Enjoy your wonderful vacation!

I always google the exact date/ship of a cruise I am looking to book. Sometimes the results list groups advertising the exact cruise. Not a perfect way to find a group, but try it!

Just checked my cruise for Sept 2024. Turkey is off the itinerary. I am happy with this, because I didn't want to go to Turkey anyway. Any guesses what Celebrity will replace that stop with? Another sea day?

Got the $6.99 upgrade. Woo Hoo! Now, waiting for a good sale on excursions....

Thanks everyone! Just logged in again and it's $6.99 to upgrade pp. I have a call into Celebrity since I am a single occupant in my stateroom and it won't let me book online. Took a screen shot.

Sorry, Just saw there is another thread on this....

I have a 9 day cruise on Celebrity Sept 2024. Always checking what the cost to upgrade from a classic to Premium package would be. I think I remember it was $19. a day. Now it's saying $13.99 a day to upgrade. Is this a good deal? Thanks!

Just used the Polaris Lounge at EWR a few weeks ago. it was fabulous! Enjoy!

On my mid August Med cruise this year on the Rivera there were cooking classes.

I can understand your disappointment with the waiter timing your meal the same as the large table next to you. I would also not be happy about it.

I understood that RV6flyer was at the buffet. On my recent cruise on the Riviera at the breakfast buffet a server comes immediately up to the table when you return with your food and offers juice, tea, coffee, water. I'm surprised that this did not happen to Flyer. If not, I understand his disappointment.

I assume you pay double. On my August Med cruise with the Prestige Drink package, almost every time I ordered a cosmo, or vodka a club, I was asked if I would like a double. Everytime I say Heck Yeah!

I'm also tired of the "covid"excuses. My Aug 2022 med cruise on Oceania was wonderful! Food, service, just wonderful! It was my first time on Oceania. It was obvious that the Riviera ship had a seasoned crew on board and no problems with getting quality food. If Oceania can give a wonderful product, why can't Regent? Cost cuts perhaps?

Petoonya, I'm so sorry for you and your husband. I remember reading your posts a few years ago. You always sounded happy and upbeat. Please remember to take care of yourself, do only what you can reasonably do and get help when it's needed.

Thanks. I was thinking they were luggage tags to be reused like the red leather ones Viking gives you.
