New pinnacle was an Australian and top cruiser was an Australian 🇦🇺.. so you may be right!!

There was apparently a huge thunder storm last night around 2am. I slept like a log! The forecast winds and rough seas have not materialised- it’s very calm and dare I say, sunny out there! Top tier this morning. Half the ship are not C&A members

Is the bus trip about 15 mins into Ravenna?

Great! do you have the times/prices of shuttle Ravenna railway station 🚉 too please?

@mil76 you didn’t mention how cold it is and the potential gale force winds ..?!?

We have another 3 booked, before the agreement- purely because they offer far better itinerary’s and actually have a ship in Europe over the winter. But the status match is purely icing on the cake!

2025… Have been in touch with Blue Puffin tours and they say they hope to run a tour to NC even in the middle of the night for us!

Preziosa August 14, 2025

Feedback in other places seems to be that most Ps have never even set foot on an X ship so I would think this first week of the experiment would be too early for the RL to be overrun already?

Interesting.. it specifically says the PZs/ Zinacles/Piniths/ (!) may be allowed in… I find it hard to believe there are that many Zs on board ? Perhaps they’d been told never to allow the interlopers in!?

Will I still find you by the Flowrider??! Off to put yet another jumper in the suitcase! It’s midsummer’s day on 21st!! lol 😂

Still confused about the timings of this stop!

Do either of you still have the sheet with all the departure times and destinations please? A friend wants to know what time the earliest flight from VCE is allowed? Thanks.

Absolutely no where I suspect !!

Or if you see a price drop 📉 you can cancel and rebook at the lower price. It’ll take +/- 14 days for the bank to process the refund ( depending on your bank’s cycle)

It’s pretty much the same menu rotation for every ship if menus not loaded yet for your sailing, in app click on head Upcoming cruises/ view All scroll down Don’t see your cruise; add it now Browse our ships select the same ship and this/next weeks sailing date Click dining

Which is what I said 🤷‍♀️ - the drydock is between arrival in Portsmouth on 26/4 and first sailing on 13/5

You’re kidding aren’t you? 🤷‍♀️ Celebrity itineraries are far better than RCI which just visit the same old same old year after year.

But people have in the past exchanged vouchers for wine. I have seen it with my own eyes. I was wondering whether this was just an amenable barman or whether it is becoming more frequent practice. It seems stupid to get them to pour 5 glasses ( 4.3 glasses or 3 glasses if you’re using English 250ml measures) when they could just give the bottle instead. I am very happy to hand over the requisite number of vouchers. I do not need to pay any money.

No, you are not getting it!

Perfect - thanks !

Two scenarios: Barman please pour me 5 glasses of wine and please use 5 vouchers. versus Barman please give me the bottle of wine and please use 5 vouchers. Its easier, it saves me going to the bar 5 times, it is less work for them as it is only one transaction, which leaves them more time to serve others, and it is less washing up as only one glass is used not 5!!!

So getting a bottle of Whispering Angel which is made in France across the Channel to England is somehow more costly than getting the same bottle to a ship in Sydney or Miami??!

But how many vouchers to get the bottle for free? I’m thinking 5 glasses in a bottle so 5 vouchers for a bottle? Anyone successful in negotiations recently?!
