We contacted our TA prior . Seems very easy. Its our first SS cruise so I'll tell you in 5 weeks if it worked. 😁

We put in a special request for still Panna water in the room every day. Thanks Stumblefoot. Couldn't you do the same for Perrier or equivalent. Take it do dinner if its important to you.

We received a cheaper fare and the $1000 OBC (Nova - AUS/NZ). Many thanks taxatty!

Sette Mari has a full a la carte menu (waiter service) and an additional buffet. It fills up quickly so its important to arrive near 6:30 when it opens to be assured of getting a seat. The second seating around 8.

I contacted SS Shore Concierge and they took off this charge. The error was corrected and they apologized. All good.

If I have an existing reservation am I now entitled to the $1000 OBC now offered?

Other than "cancel for any reason" will trip insurance cover a cruise where the cruise line changed the ports of call? Laurence, if you made your own flight accomodations have you contacted the airlines? Sounds like a difficult situation for you. Good Luck.

So sorry that the cruise wasn't up to your expectations.

Regent comment above. I'm under the impression that SS isn't alone with these reported issues.

I'm under the impression that they are "flying by the seat of their pants" with these excursions. The system lets you waitist an excursion and book another included available (backup) but charges you for both, one should be included . When we waitlisted the system didn't tell us they added new time slots. I went back and deleted a few days and rebooked with what we wanted. When we booked the cruise in Feb (Dec cruise) one port had no inlcuded excursions now it does. Its very important to keep checking.

Will do.

I have the same exact ships in Vancouver in May. I guess its better than 7600. I went to cruise mapper and it appears both ships leave before SS. I'm not confident I can predict when will be the slowest. Grin and bear in I guess. One would think they would add resources.

I would keep checking what is available. We had a couple "waitlisted" excusrions in Feb (10 months out) and they eventually added extra time slots. There was no heads up that they were available. The system seems to waitlist for the excursion at the one time slot. I agree that at this point in the process there should be more availability.
