Silver Sea are luxury all inclusive I think.

What I’m saying they won’t allow to combine points. We sailed 7 times with X 29 times with RCI I don’t think they will combine points from those cruises

It’s already passed final payment. They charged all they needed.

They won't merge points.. they already have issues with number of Diamonds/Elites

We will. They must return it, but it is a small change.

We also got it for Thanksgiving. I am not expecting anything aside from port charges. We missed it for Thanksgiving 2021 and Christmas 2021 on Anthem.

Vision class is the only exception I think. The oldest and smallest. Even Radiance class has Windjammer in the aft and Solarium towards bow.

On Voyager and Freedom they are also almost in front.

In front on Voyager class and up. Quantum and Oasis class completely in front.

Is golden paint is not peeling off in elevators?I honestly have not witnessed it on any ships before or after (60 cruises with 8 lines). Smell.. .and everything. I am also never this issue before on ships. I am usually not a complainer at all. And Princess together with Celebrity were our #1 lines. This is why I was upset. It was 2019... not post Covid. I have not tried Princess Postcovid. In 2019 we had Side by Side Explorer for Christmas (5 days) and Crown Princess (10 days) for NYE. Explorer was just an add on ... never ever I expected Explorer to be much better experience.. even in Food department.

I don’t know. 16+ have never bothered me in Solarium so not sure how much of a change this would really be.

We had 7 with Princess and food was always better on Princess till the last one in 2019 (for New Year 2020%) on Crown Princess. Whole experience was strange including ship’s upkeep. Royal Princess several years prior was amazing. Princess used to have such amazing seafood buffets … with lobsters, split crab legs.

Canaletto hotel was ok… https://www.hotelcanaletto.com/ Bella Venezia https://www.bellaveneziahotel.it/ was more interesting. We loved loft room.

We are now D+ for several years and since 2021 completely switched to Royal after sailing with 8 lines since 2003… Carnival is the only line we dropped after 3 honest tries (Liberty, Miracle, Glory), but it’s interesting to read you review. We are also big campers during summers!

You don’t even need to logout on me device. Once you are logging on the second device it will warn you that number of connections is reached and if you want to switch. They will log other device off.

8 nights No flights Itins are pretty much equal I like all ships, but Odyssey is newer and more interesting IMHO. LOVE Solarium Easy choice

People on any ship which has The Billboard Band (Cancun) will have amazing time!

Of course with aqua show Oasis class is unmatched, but we recently sailed several times on Liberty and were amazed at talent level Broadway show: Saturday Night Fever - made after famous movie with Travolta Cirque de Soleil type of show: In the Air Ice Show: Encore is the most interested and talented show we saw out of all ships. Schooner bar performer: Dafydd Hughes ... well I think if he had solo concerts on land he would gather huge crowds. Extremely talented. Bolero's band: Son Del Rio is also very good. We liked them on Enchantment in March, but their new lead singer is even better

We did not like Anthem until we learned how to cook it. We LOVE Solarium. Library is OK . It is above two70 and not worse than on any other RCI libraries... Not many books anyway.

Park Cafe has a schedule. So it may close at 6 and then open for sometime later. I think it is finally closes at 1 AM.

We are approaching #30 with Royal (61 overall with 8 lines) and never witnessed anything like that. Yes, some people could overindulge (maybe saw a couple of them)... but it is not something usual. Even on Carnival we have not witnessed this. Let put it this way, nothing different from several cruises from UK, Hmmm from what I know many people in Europe think that people from Britain often have party attitude. I do not think it is related to the length of vacation...

If not for hurricane Lee we would’ve been in St John, NB today… https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/new-brunswick/aim-fire-saint-john-1.696633 Saint John asks residents to stay inside as fire at AIM's metal recycling plant rages on Smoke from pile of compressed cars leads to closure of 3 schools across the harbour from plant Saint John residents were asked to take shelter from the smoke or wear masks Thursday as a scrapyard fire raged on by the harbour on the city's west side. Crews have been battling flames at the American Iron and Metal recycling plant since early morning. Three schools across Saint John Harbour have been forced to close because of the smoke, and people living near it were advised to stay inside. "There's quite a bit of smoke in the area," said Saint John Fire platoon chief Ed Moyer.

On our first cruise after restart on Celebrity Edge in July of 2021 we did have to show test results or wear masks. Only vaccination cards… then it was masks all the way till March 2022 and tests till November 2022.

We sailed 10+ times after restart and each had 2 COVIDs. One time together and then each of us had it separately on/right after different cruises in 2022-2023. We work from home and have extremely limited interactions with other people so yes… it was from cruises. It may happen. After each of our cruises we read in groups that some people contracted COVID. We treat it as something that always may happen, but no different than other diseases when sailing with several thousands passengers. Cold, flu, Noro etc.

You should see the emotions when ships are sent to NE/Canada instead of Bermuda or Bahamas. 😉 We are on Liberty now … missing St John and cutting time in Halifax buy several hours. We are good as it’s out 8th such trip, but I feel for folks from Germany, UK or our other states… aside from those changes we had some bad weather in many ports. Sailaways from ports are usually spectacular, and this time around foggy or rainy. We did get to see beautiful Bar Harbor as a port for the last time though. Showers here and there, but at least not rain as it was predicted.
