Any email or postcard offers will also be in your online account under your VIFP account, so there's no need to wait or keep the emails and/or postcards since the offers are in your online account.

That's the best way to do it. And if you're playing enough one of the 'ASKS' from the Casino host is to have that upgrade fees reimbursed. That's not something they normally offer, as opposed to a bottle of wine or a specialty restaurant dinner for to, or free steakhouse selection from the MDR, so you would have to consult with the casino host.

Yes the bottle you see on the lavatory is for body lotion.

You will need to bring your own . None of the Celebrity ships have liquid hand soap for the cabin bathrooms at the lavatory sink. It's always bar soap. I suppose you could ask your attendant for an extra bottle of body wash as a substitute,but you're not assured they would be able to accommodate you.

I thought the Penis Museum in Reykjavik was a unique and fun way to spend 30-45 minutes at. Certainly something not to be found elsewhere. I'm assuming you're going to do the Golden Circle tour? A must do! The Geyser is the least impressive of the three, but the Waterfalls and Techtronic plates crevasse are wonderful (We had a private tour issue and didn't get to spend as much time at the crevasse as I would have liked). In Akureyri we did everything on our own and it's easy to walk around and see everything. Don't miss the Botanic Garden; on Google Maps it doesn't seem like much but it's actually quite beautiful and packs alot of things to see in a small area. What's nice about it is rather than just a flat expanse it's a nicely terraced with multiple pathways on different levels and all kinds of large shade trees. In Isafjordur we did a private Dynjandi Waterfall tour and that was great!

Probably the reason for the OP's screenname, since all of their vacation trips will have to involve long drives in a car.

An FYI, don't get hung up if it asks you to schedule a date and time even though you're purchasing an all-cruise spa pass. Just choose anything, it's irrelevant to what you're purchasing and you won't be limited to whatever timeframe you're choosing. The website can't distinguish an unlimited all- cruise spa pass from a spa treatment reservation.

You're stilli missing the point that it costs more to build two 2,500 passenger ship than one 5,000 passenger ship which means the cost per passenger to make money will be more with two smaller ships than one bigger ship. That is the major fallacy to your position and is why no mainstream cruiseline is doing that. Again that's not to say that no one is building smaller ships,but it's the 5* cruiselines that can charge a higher per passenger fare to recoup and make a profit with building smaller ships.

Thank you for additional information. We're on the same page.

Based on all that I have read that's not correct. The reason for this is the Jubilee's cabins can command a higher fare and because there's more amenities onboard the per passenger spend while be higher on the mega ships than on an older smaller ship. All the articles written confirm that. The fuel efficiency on one new mega ship makes up for sailing two, smaller ships, so there less fuel cost. And staffing costs will be less too since you'll only need more lower level employees vs duplicative higher level management when sailing 2 smaller ships vs one mega ship. And cost of scale to build two smaller ships vs one mega is more even before the 1st passengers step onboard. Again just look at NCL. They tried what you're suggesting with the Prima Class and everyone, from passengers to NCL management has admitted that the original Prima class at 143,000 tons is too small to meet what current cruise passengers want on a mainstream cruiseship. So it's not even hypothetical discussions about smaller vs larger new builds; we have current ,real world results via what happened with NCL.

On the Apex jast July on an Iceland and British Isles itinerary the Solarium Family family hours were 4:00-11:00 every night.

Nope. No longer a thing.

It isn't possible because the desk and vanity area, which ISN'T movable, would be in the way of the bed if you were to swap the bed and sofa in an Oceanview Balcony cabin on the Freedom.

I understand that. What I was alluding to is the assumption that when business is not as good a cruiseline should have smaller ships so they can fill those ships up to 100%. My point was filling the Spirit and Miracle to 100% isn't going to be more profitable to Carnival than if the Jubilee sailed with the same amount of passengers at a 60% load factor. That's all I'm saying. No mainstream cruiseline is going to build a new class of sub 100,000 ton ships which many mainstream passengers, at least here on CC, seem to want not just on Carnival but many other lines too. TBH I personally love the 90,000 ton class of ships from any cruiseline . It's the perfect size to offer a bit of everything but not too much of anything.

As a RCL stockholder for 16 years paying $9.99/share and having it recently reached it's all time high of $141.66 (currently down to $127.70) and it's considered a BUY with all analysts with a target of $154 it's obviously doing something right.
