Is there anywhere at all that I can check availability with stateroom numbers?

I don't have a particular cruise in mind at the moment I just like to see what my options are and don't like to have to keep phoning Oceania to ask what's not already taken.

I like to peruse in my own time, or while I'm supposed to be working ;)

meanwhile we have reached e+...now for the steep climb to zenith...my calculations are we will be 140 years old by the time we reach zenith...;-)

Oh well, I guess you'll have to suffer though another cruise to get to Elite Plus, poor you! ;):D Congrats on nearly getting there, OP!

I know ! The things we have to do just to get through a year!! Thanks though

Sounds like the perfect reason to take a three day weekend cruise.

Not a lot of those in Europe :(

We've always found that they will do their very best to get you what you want in Blu.

If they can't get it for you that night, they will get it for the following night if possible.

We've always found the service to be superb.

Congrats for reaching Elite Plus (or almost reaching it)! That's quite an accomplishment! :)

Thanks, it's been a bit of a chore and we'll obviously have to keep working on it ;)

No. Your status is matched, but you don't earn X points on RCI and vice versa. (/url]

Thank you :(

I've just checked our "status" and we are 2 points away from Elite Plus :D

Our next cruise is (our first) on Royal Caribbean. Will we gain any points from that?

:d:d

We love a big balcony.

Click on the link for that ship in the upper section of this page. That will give you a good place to start. If you have more specific questions after reading some of those threads, you can post here.

Thank you ;)

Now then, D1 corner aft or JS ?

We are "Elite" on Celebrity, have cruised HAL, Princess, Oceania and Azamara and are now thinking of Canada and New England on Vision of the Seas.

We know that the ship is not one of RCCLs newest and that it's smaller rather than larger, but would like any other insight that anyone can offer please .

We plan to book a D2 or D1 cabin. :)

Come on though, what about the ice cream??? Generally and its always a matter of personal choice, the ice cream in Oceanview is very good, at times, flavour depending, its very very good.

Barring that the soft serve is delicious! ;)

Gilbert & Soames in AQ on Equinox this month.

The "lather" shower gel was very weak and not frothy at all so was glad I'd taken my own.

No shower cap but was supplied with no problem on request.

Thank you for all of your information, its always so helpful and greatly appreciated.

I shall keep a note of it for reference while watching the prices see/saw until we can make a decision. ;)

I've been keeping an eye on a couple of cruises for 2017 and prices have gone up today :(

We asked once and were very politely told that it wasn't allowed / possible.

I have been on MSC, Princess, HAL, Celebrity, Azamara, Oceania and wouldn't (generally) consider MSC again .

Having said that, we were only in an "ordinary" cabin and so we haven't sampled the Yacht Club experience.

We've been on Riviera in the B3 (wonderful ) 7108 with the open ended extended balcony and are now considering a cruise which is on Nautica.

From the bits that I've read, I can't see that Nautica has any extended balconies and in fact her balconies are quite small.

Are there any "secret" special cabins that are maybe a bit bigger than the norm ? Should we perhaps consider an ocean view rather than splash the cash on a balcony that is a bit cramped? Unfortunately we can't stretch to an OS and the PH suites are a bit pricey too :o:

All opinions are greatly appreciated. thanks.

Are there any "benefits" to book a future cruise whilst on board?

I know that Celebrity give you the impression that it can be beneficial as in extra OBC and perks and was wondering if O does something similar.

dot com gave some availability and I had to pretend I lived in the US .;)

The "red dots" site has always been my friend ;) however, it hasn't been giving cabin availability recently for "O". Maybe it was the dot co dot uk site that I've been using, I'll try dot com.

Four years down the road and I wondered if this has changed at all?

I do like to research what cabins are available in my own time rather than wait on the phone if I'm planning a cruise.

Come to think of it mine said Ocean View and we're in AQ, however it did have the cabin number so I'm not particularly worried.

We sail in 2 weeks :-)

We crossed from Miami to Europe at the end of April to the beginning of May a couple of years ago on Celebrity and the sea was like glass and the weather was really good.

We are doing the same journey on Oceania next year but it will be a month earlier ie: end March beginning of April and I'm really hoping the weather gods will be kind to us.

It depends on what you mean by decent weather.

It will certainly be cool, you won't get much use out of the swimming pool.

Ok so we've almost decided to take the chance :eek: now then, ... We've had the 7008 B3 extended balcony before and loved it and have a hold on 7009 for the March MIA-BCN.

1. Have we chosen the correct side of the ship in the event of there being any sunshine?

2. Would we be better having an extended B3 that has two full side partitions for a T/A?

All opinions really gratefully received, thanks :o
