Janet-

It's a river cruise ship, due to start sailing summer 25. Spirit of the Moselle

If you have 8.30 reservation your table would have been used by whoever had a  6.30 reservation. Oceania advise  2 hours for a speciality dinner, so if you turned up early there wouldn't be a table available.

Thanks all for this thread 🙂 

socialization is a major part of cruising and much of that happens in bars/lounges and sometimes by sharing tables at meals.  Is it worth a couple of thousand dollars to socialize with a drink in hand? 

 

 

Hank

Does that drink in hand have to be alcoholic? All soft drinks are included and there will be no problem getting them served in any bar.

I've tried all the tricks suggested but still can't see the itineraries. Wish Saga would hurry up and sort it

Well it doesn't work for me.

What happens to all the part empty bottles of spirits at the end of the cruise? Do they get used up in the bars, cabin steward perks, crew parties?

 We have so far received a reply from Ms. Leon-Meredith, Director of Financial Services at NCLH stating the situation and that she has put requests for documents. 
 

Have you written back to her to thank her for her help but told her you have still not received the "documents"

A ladies dry cut, ie no wash or blow dry, cost $79 earlier this year on Regatta.

So you got all 3 perks  right?

 

The O Life excursions  if the port is missed is usually $100    not the price of the excursion listed

Yes, that's what happened

Was your excursion part of the O Life deal?

It was actually ultimate. 

We were given 99 SBC  in leu of an O life excursion when a port was cancelled earlier this year. This was irrespective of the cost of the cancelled excursion 

Does the free cruise now have simply more benefits

I don't know what you mean by "the bot" but earlier this year Saga decided that cruises booked through travel agents wouldn't be counted towards Brittania Club. Does this affect your number of nights?

How strange that they leave it so late to issue flight tickets! I wonder why.

How was the actual cruise compared with Scenic.

Last month on Discovery there was Line Dancing in the morning and Ballroom lessons in the afternoon on sea days. Typically there was 45 minutes pre dinner, sixish, ballroom/sequence some nights recorded music, others with the band. No dance hosts but the instructors are now allowed to dance with passengers.

Just got off Regatta, B2B with 2 booking numbers. Non refundable On Board Spend (or whatever you want to call it) was carried forward to the end of the second cruise. I've  found this to always be the case. 

Thank you hamrag

5 August on Riviera

My TA sent an email yesterday, it's already started in the UK! 😉

Are you able to tell me which itineraries they are. I can only see 5 cruises to the far east on Os web site. Thanks

We are on Regatta at the moment and wine by the glass ranges from $9.5 to $11.5  with  champagne at $16.5 plus tip. Much cheaper than the list posted by OP, how strange.

We weren't so lucky in December.  It was a bottle  of sweet 7% vol Argentina wine in our cabin.They said they'd not got any Balfour. They did swop it for a bottle  of sauvignon blanc though.

Yes, they certainly have increased. I was looking at the cut, style and blowdry which was $89 a year ago and is now $129. I know all businesses are trying to make up for lockdown but that increase is excessive. 

Thank you Birdrock for the new pricelist.

Thank you LHT28

Does anyone have a price list please. I'm particularly interested in hair and nails.

Saga say they will conduct "a health screening questionnaire for all guests prior to embarkation".  My guess is that this will take place in the terminal as before rather than in the taxi but perhaps someone who has recently been on board can confirm.

I was thinking that if they didn't like the answers, it would be easier for them to send you back home if you were still in the taxi.

We live about 180 miles away from Southampton and our pick-ups have been between 1015 and 1130. We seem to arrive too late for lunch but just enough time for a cup of tea before going to register at the muster station. I suppose getting on board will be quicker now as there is no testing procedure to go through. Does anyone know if you have to stay in your taxi until the health questionnaire has been examined and passed?
