  1. Hi again, is it typical for Albergo del Senato to request credit card info to be sent to them via email to hold the reservation? If so, I may just wait for the one year mark when online resettle open up.
  2. Thanks for the advice! I just sent them an email. Provided our dates and requested a superior double room. Their website is promoting discounted rates including WiFi and breakfast! Hope I can get that!
  3. Great advice! Thank you!
  4. Thank you for the great suggestion! I’ll take the email route! One more question…did you have to pay in advance? Or at time of stay? Thank you!
  5. How far in advance does the Albergo del Senato allow bookings. I’m looking for September 2025.
  6. Yay! Awesome! It looked like a good location for a deluxe balcony in the sphere section. Maybe a little bigger balcony? (Crossing my fingers). I like being mid ship and not too many flights of stairs from the public areas. Whew…I think you’re right…having a floor of cabins below us should buffer it. Our cruise is in November 2025 so you’ll get to sail on her belie I do.
  7. We’ll be staying in 11438. Do you think one floor above you would make a difference in the noise level?
  8. I tried to use SMART for a booking for a Sept 2025 cruise but reservation system wouldn't take it. So, I think my booking is too far out yet to use that promo code. But it was interesting to see that I could book out that far! I guess I'll wait for another promo code closer. Also, it was interesting that I could book at H10 Metropolitan without having to pay now if I booked 9/11/2025 - 9/13/2025 (e.g. free cancellation) but if I booked 9/18/2025 - 9/20/2025, it required payment up front (allowed one change). Also, 9/25/2025 - 9/27/2025 did not require payment upfront (free cancellation). I looked at booking at H10 Cataluyna and I'm able to book for the dates I want 9/18/2025 - 9/20/2025 with free cancellation so I think i will just book there.
  9. Thank you so much! I have always overlooked it!
  10. Thank you for the detailed food reviews! This is fantastic. I usually get the salmon and of course the soufflé for embarkation lunch but now I want to try the beef tenderloin! P.S. subscribed to your you tube. Can’t wait to watch the videos.
  11. Thank you for your reply! I actually do like the Princess beds too so I'm glad you thought the bed in the regular sea terrace was great.
  12. Read the comments about uncomfortable mattresses in the regular cabins. What cabins would I need to book to avoid these uncomfortable mattresses?
  13. Followed you over from the Princess board! Thanks for sharing the highlights over there. Virgin sounds terrific to us and they’re all inclusive is everything we need. I’m curious how they handle various dietary restrictions, My DH has to be on a very low sodium diet and Princess accommodates by taking his order the night before and they prepare it with no salt or as low salt as possible. Do you think VIrgin would be able to accommodate?
  14. Thank you for sharing your experience and the link to your live. I’m going to read it! What’s included in the Virgin fare is perfect for us. We usually get Princess Plus for the Wi-Fi and gratuities. We don’t drink a lot of alcoholic beverages so just get the package for convenience. Water, soda, coffee and tea would be enough for us. Only question I have is, is the ship very noisy with loud music playing throughout the ship?
  15. Diesel in the water? I’m afraid to drink the water now! Luckily my sailing is not until September 2025. But still…
  16. Are the clocks moving forward an hour so you’ll be on the same time as the port stop (Puerto Vallarta)? Just wondering for planning purposes for an independent group tour on a future cruise.
  17. I love pâté, but you’re right….that does look like cat food!😝
  18. I LOVE ramen. Is that from the buffet and is it served up when you order or is it already dished up for a grab-n-go?
  19. Thanks! I think we’ll aim to get there around 10:30am. Hoping by then, the line would be moving right along. Enjoy your time on the Discovery! She’s a beautiful ship.
  20. Hi, what time did you arrive at the port? Hoping to time our arrival for a short (or no) green line.
  21. Awesome boarding time! What port are you boarding from? Seems like they have their act together!
  22. Wash hands often and especially whenever we return to our cabin. Carry miniature hand sanitizer with me to use if I’ve touched high contact surfaces and hand washing isn’t feasible. Avoid crowds, including crowded elevators as much as possible. Mask if can’t avoid those situations. Avoid the buffet.
