The sailing is to cities, no fjords, and departs from Rotterdam. I hadn’t considered the fact that school is still out in Europe. That is something to certainly think about. I’m just surprised with the number of verandas that can be booked only by 3+. I counted them last night. Over 100! I just hadn’t ran into this before.

We are considering a trip to Iceland on the Celebrity Silhouette in August. Currently we are booked in an aft facing sunset veranda. How are the views when approaching the ports? Much better than a veranda on either the port or starboard side? We are considering upgrading to an Aqua stateroom but don’t want to give up the sunset veranda if the view will be great

I called celebrity and spoke with 2 different reps. As usual the first was not helpful. However the second rep gave me some insight into what’s going on. Apparently, due to the large increase in demand in recent months, they have been blocking off a number of rooms and restricting them to 3 or more guests in order to take advantage of all available space and accommodate more guests. When I asked if those rooms will at some point be released for 2 people bookings he said it’s possible but he had no idea when. He suggested I continue to monitor the website

I am considering an August 2024 sailing to Scandinavia aboard the Silhouette. It’s just 2 of us. On the website when I chose 2 guests there are no veranda cabins available and the sailing looks almost completely sold out. However if I change the number of guests to 3, then there are tons of verandas available. obviously they rather book the room for 3 rather than two and get the additional revenue. I’m just surprised that so many rooms are slated for that purpose. Is that the norm? It is just 2 of us traveling. Will these rooms be released for booking for 2 as the final payment day gets closer? Anyone experience this?

Thank you. I think we will do both if we select this cruise. I’ve been researching both cruises and there is a wealth of information. Managing the stops on the both seem to be very doable. I am so torn between both. They both seem really fantastic. I vacillate between the two several times a day. It really might come down to a coin toss

The problem is that I like it all! I love natural beauty and stunning visas, but I also love cities for their history, architecture and culture. Unfortunately I can’t do both trips. I realize I’m so fortunate to be able to go on any so I’m trying to choose wisely. I’ve been to Europe a few times but never to theses areas. Having been there and done that, which would be your first choice and why? I know it’s all so subjective but I’m interested in your assessment

Not sure where to post this question. Trying to decide between these two cruises. The Iceland cruise includes 2 days in Ireland ( Waterford and Cork) the ports in Iceland are AKUREYRI, ISAFJORDUR, REYKJAVIK. the “Best of Scandinavia” ports are: Berlin, GDYNIA, VISBY, Tallann, Stockholm, and Copenhagen. Has anyone done either of these cruises? Anyone has done both? What would you choose? Thanks

There is a charge of $30 for dinner.

Thanks for the info. I don’t think we will be having every meal with the non suite guest, but I’m glad we can pay for her to join us occasionally. I will definitely talk to the maitre d as soon as we board and ask him for suggestions as to what time would be best.
-
I agree. Do you happen to know if we can have our non suite companion join us on embarkation day as well as long as we pay the fee and there is availability?
-
Count me in as interested as well. On previous cruises I have found the food in Blu and Luminae more to my liking than MDR, especially on more recent cruises where there seems to be cutbacks in portion size, variety and quality. I’m not a foodie, but my cabin mate is, hence the upgrade to suites on our upcoming Eclipse sailing, just so that we can eat at Luminae. However our third travel companion is not upgrading and we don’t want to exclude her, so I expect we will either be hosting her at Luminae for meals or joining her at the MDR. Anyone with recent experience at Luminae on Eclipse?
-
Good to know. Thank you. We are going to be on the Eclipse, hopefully that is better? to the OP, I’m sorry if I’m hijacking your thread.

Thanks so much.

It is a collapsible scooter. I looked into the Heidi website and it sounds great but the tours are 6 hours and I think that is too long for her.. ( she has an underlying illness) I will look into the taxis as well as the other link someone else posted. Thank you

This is great thanks!
