we cried our luggage off the ship

We also feel that way when we have to disembark the ship

Speaking of alcohol, is there a way to pre-order a bottle of spirits for the room prior to the cruise, or do you just ask the room attendant for this once onboard?

The Pan Pacific is connected to the cruise terminal (Canada Place).

When Seabourn tenders to a port, the itinerary usually says, "Tender Required; Wheelchair Access at Master's Discretion."  A rollator is not a wheelchair, but for those who do use a wheelchair, it would be worthwhile to check about the specifics for each tender port in the cruise if getting off at a specific port is important to you.

So if you’re listening Seabourn, any change to reduce the “All inclusive” format will drive me to another premium cruise line.

Agree. Additionally, any change to increase the All Inclusive format (eg, including excursions and/or flights) would likewise strongly discourage me from booking any more cruises.

If you want to disembark at 7, you'll just need to ask guest services for that time assignment so that your bags will be ready for you in the port at the right time. 

If possible, keep your bags with you and take them yourselves as you disembark.

Much quicker that way.

...be sure to speak with the Head Sommelier after you born.

That's usually the best time to do it

I did not receive this survey last week.

I, too, thought that I hadn't received the survey, but it turned up in my spam folder.

Now that I think about it, my spam filter did a good job with this email.

I'm sure Keith got a good laugh out of that

Keith

Yes, somewhere in that range 😛

We're going to be on Quest from Sept 12 through Oct 6, 2024.

Then we get back onboard November 27, 2024 through January 13, 2025.

Looks like you'll be on in between our two cruises...poor timing!

Likewise, for the past week I haven't been able to view the daily menus for Quest, which is the ship we will be next sailing.  Hope it's just a temporary situation

it feels like they got pushback on the fare savings option from external stakeholders

What are some examples of external stakeholders in this situation?

We found it challenging, if not downright impossible to get additional reservations beyond our pre-reserved online reservations on close-to-capacity sailings.

Thanks for that information, Rob.

On my upcoming Serenity cruise, which is 15 nights and which appears to be well-booked, I've been able to schedule one reservation each for the three restaurants, but I'll need to schedule the second allowed reservation for each of the restaurants once onboard.  Is it this kind of reservation you're talking about being difficult to get, or do you mean it will be difficult to get reservations beyond the second ones?  Thanks again.

we will never again book an itinerary that is also sold in shorter segments.  

I hear you, but that's getting harder and harder to do these days.

And  the $5000 credit at 25 and 50?  Guess what!?  Your cruises on OC don’t count. 

Why do you say that?  I see that the T&C state that the program applies to cruises after January 1, 2023, but I have also heard on CC (which, of course, is not official), that previous cruises with OC would still count towards earned benefits.

Any why do we need to be discussing this at all?  You would think that Crystal would make some mention of this in their T&C...although perhaps that's what the January 1, 2023 statement means.

If you have an invoice from Old Crystal, check it. The milestone levels did show up on those invoices, but they no longer do. 

The Terms and Conditions state that the Crystal Society Program applies to voyages beginning January 1, 2023.  Does that mean our previous credits from OC no longer will be honored?  I believe it was reported here on CC that previous cruises would still count towards the various rewards.

Mr B won’t pack his tux for just one night. I’m glad you will!

Actually, I don’t own a tuxedo.

I was just showing off that I can spell “cummerbund.”

From another friend who is also on the cruise

So, it's two votes for a BTO night on June 25 and one vote against.

As Meatloaf melodiously said, two out of three ain't bad.

Time to search for the old cummerbund

When I look at it, June 25 shows as formal. 

Here's the first seven days from my itinerary, Tracie.  It's different from yours, but I don't know why that would be.  

Thanks, Keith.  That's good to know.

When I look at my upcoming Serenity cruise, which is 15 days (actually, it's a B2B, 8 days and 7 days), every day is listed as "Resort Casual."  I thought that there would be one formal night on the 8 day segment, right?  Does that mean I won't have to starch and press my cummerbund?

They wanted a letter verifying account and wire Instructions from my bank. More stalling tactics.

I'm not sure this is a stalling tactic.

Just ask Shohei Ohtani.

Sorry to hear that. Seems that Seabourn doesn't want to wait until the last minute to adjust their itineraries, which is a good thing. Very interested to know what the new itineraries will be...they didn't give you any idea?
