Carrying nothing in my pockets except a ship card.
I'll second that notion

A light windbreaker for the small amount of drizzle in Vancouver would be smart

The response above is perfect advice, enjoy your cruise

When are you sailing?

I wouldn't count the idea out, nor have high hopes of this happening anytime soon. Only time will tell, because the POA is under an American flag if it was moved like the Jade (formally the pride of Hawaii) it wouldn't be able to regain its American status easily. I think it's most likely another U.S. Flagged vessel will take over in the distant future.

If you don't use it you do lose it unfortunately, that's is if you are referring to the current promo.

i used my $25 buck OBC to pay for most of my clamshell on GSC
What's a clamshell worth these days?
*Living Large*

I believe you will, as it is technically a cancel and rebook, if this does come up and the current promo is of equal or greater value to YOU than by all means jump all over it, but if you lose to much of what matters to you, sit tight and enjoy your cruise

Our most recent sailing on Celebrity was this past fall. There was no charge for room service that I can remember. (We rarely use room service, and this would not drive the train [or ship] for us.)
Re Istanbul v. Ephesus, and with the caveat that I've never been to Istanbul (but it's high on my list), I'm not sure how you'd compare a living city with a city of ruins, but Ephesus is phenomenal. We visited Ephesus on our Med cruise aboard the Jade, and went on a private shore excursion with a guide; It was a truly extraordinary day; the ruins are amazing. It is a place well worth visiting, particularly with a private guide. (And be sure to include the Terrace Houses.)

Great photos!! I didn't get to see to much while we were there, very short stop then three days in Istanbul, wasn't to happy about that, next time I suppose

Wondering if room service is included;)
So far it is, it's still just on the two vessels it started a fee on

Sounds very unpleasant, I truly hope none of those dirty little buggers make their way into your home. As far as the glass goes, that is unacceptable. Good luck in your future cruises hope this was a one off occurrence

I believe that there is something open somewhere on the ship - the specialty
restaurants have pretty much fixed hours as well as the MDRs. The buffet
is open for breakfast lunch and dinner albeit when breakfast time is finished
the buffet closes briefly to set up for lunch and the same in the late afternoon
for dinner. During those periods The Great Outdoors (Pool Deck 11 Aft) has a
limited menu. The Sports Bar has a late evening till wee hours food schedule.
And then there is the Room Service Pizza with fee.
Because it is a smaller ship the buffets are not sized like the monster ships
but the NCL SUN does a good job of having a variety of menu choices.
I have been on the SUN STAR and the DAWN and the SUN is my ship of choice !
You can always take food from the buffet to your stateroom to eat later but
there really is no way to warm it up (NO microwave oven) so best consider
a cold plate selection. If you bring a roll of plastic wrap the food can be
covered from the elements.
AND the all important Soft Serve Ice Cream machine is in the alcove of
The Great Outdoors and is normally open from about noon to 9pm !
Just an small addition, great list btw, the pizza does have a charge yes, but it can be delivered anywhere on the ship, so as to not wake up your cabin mates.

We did a med cruise on the Jade, loved every minute, I can't speak for Celebrity but I think NCL will have more for the youngest in your group, but still lots for the older crowd

Same weeks for comparison
2015 OV with UBP promo - 229 pp
2016 OV with Inclusive Drinks - 409 pp
2016 Inside with Inclusive Drinks - 339 pp
So for 2016 I gotta spend $200 more to get on the ship; no view. Business must be good!
NCL will be advertising this to death. Curious to see what, if anything, Royal does with Enchantment coming to Miami and if Carnival has any tricks up their sleeves.
Thanks for the comprehensive look at some rates, I think the point here is they are including the beverages in their base price, it's not a hidden fee it's all in for that much, I can appreciate your stance on this, I still see this as a win for some. Enjoy the sailing you've booked.

Well, we know the UBP carries over to GSC, but will this?
It most certainly does!!
*Living Large*
-
But functionally speaking nothing more or less than what I've got now?
Correct in practice it's exactly what you have booked right now, as someone else said even inside cabins will receive this perk, so good news there for those who would book an inside cabin and normally be excluded from some promos.

I think O'Sheehans was open 24/7 on the Getaway.
The sun doesn't have an O'Sheehans, just a little sports bar on lido deck aft

Enjoy the sun, one of my favourite Ships in the fleet!! And Bon Apetitie

There's always the 24/7 pizza, it is very tasty and filling

I highly doubt it will effect you to greatly, Europe is a long way to go, when then can drink a lot closer for a lot cheaper, try and relax. I'm sure you will be just fine
