  1. Seaborn is getting terrible reviews. You shouldfread them
  2. If you book Viking while on the ship, they will usually waive payment in full until 6 months before the cruise.
  3. Lot of crime in Jamaica but not sure Cozumel is any better
  4. For recent cruisers this year. I see a lot of a availability after final payments.
  5. I have not seen Oceania rates drop close to sailings. Has anyone else? I liked the one cruiseI took but price is high. Looking at a Feb 4 12 day cruise to Caribbean . Need price lower to book tbat. Is there a chance it could drop? Seems lime a better chance in Caribbean, no?
  6. I was mainly referring to Princess and other main stream lines. I don't see Cunard there yet.
  7. They will give you as little as they can get away with hoping you will continue to pay the ransom to book the grills even though they are giving you less for your money. Only when people refuse will they consider changes for the positive. At this point I would not book a grill.people are only loyal to cruise lines up to a certain point many have left the mass market lines because of cut backs and an overall degraded experience. They dont care .they want younger people who wont care and just want to get drunk and do yoga
  8. Princess is bad I would rather be at home.
  9. Was 6:30 on Venus in March
  10. Vling lady was wonderful on the Venus in March. Booked Australia-and New Zealand 2025. Transferred to Pam Alexander our travel agent. No problems .
  11. Since there is only three ports on this 16 day trip I find the fares a little high. Asked my travel agent how full the ship was as I am considering waiting until after the final pay is due in hopes it might go down. Ii have never been on a Cunard cruise but anxious to try for the dress up experience. Have recently been on Oceania and Viking. Both were great Here is what travel agent told me. Any guesses as to what they are doing? It's a mystery to me! The availability doesn't make much sense. The agent booking site shows this for the Queen Victoria January 11, 2024 52-Day cruise from Southampton to Auckland is completely full Just Guarantees and Wait-lists are showing in every category. The January 22, 2024 41-Day cruise from Ft. Lauderdale to Sydney is also full in all categories (just guarantees & waitlists) But the Jan 22, 2024 16-Day Panama Canal cruise from Ft. Lauderdale to San Francisco is sold out in just a few categories: Q2 & Q5...Pa...A1 & A2...BC, BE and CA are all showing as waitlisted BUT the rest of the categories are available to book.
  12. Any changes are problematic. The waiter may noy have understood you.
  13. If you have two cruises in a row on the same ship, ie NewZealand then Australia on the Venus in Jan 2025.p, will you have access to excursions for both cruises on the same date?
  14. The steak was good on my Northern lights cruise in March. Not real thick but cooked medium rare. The rack of Lamb was also very good.first time Viking cruiser so I had nothing to compare it with except Princess. the appetizer of deli meats and cheese was not very good. But I live in San Francisco and have access to really good stuff here.
  15. Should have said “Refund” There is no goodwill involved. Period.
  16. You will pay the price listed at the time you clear the wait list
  17. Looks like-a great trip. My wife wants to see Greenland. Other cruises end or start in Iceland which we do not want to see again.
  18. Princess owns some of the better hotels.
  19. But people love to pile on San Francisco.demand for houses is higher than most other places but prices are high. Weather is great. But I never go into SF. Live about 19 miles south of there. Not much crime where I live.
  20. I like Oceania but they have started cutting time in ports shorter due to bull crap ecological concerns. Be aware. They do not, however, require the final payment 6 months or more in advance. Some of the food is better, not the Lobster, however, i like Viking Living room a lot and the Tea. Also wine by the glass is not bad.. The two lines are similar in what they give you as well as price.
  21. I wonder if they would let you board in SF? https://www.oceaniacruises.com/alaska-cruises/los-angeles-to-vancouver-REG240501/?sr=%2Fcruise-finder%23time_frame%3D2024-5%26marketing_region%3Dalaska%26sort%3Dfeatured%3Adesc%26page%3D1%26pageSize%3D10
