I laughed last year on Riviera (12/22) to find potato chips served at night at Baristas. Only time I ever saw them. In small bowls along with the finger foods. I never had any, so no idea if they were salted or not. Did seem to be just plain potato chips, no cheese, bbq, or sour cream flavors, for example.

There was a thread on this back on January 13, 2022. With pictures inside and out. But it seemed like the inside-looking out photos had a large square window but the outside view of Sirena showed a smaller porthole. Was all academic to me until yesterday when I booked 7006 for a September 2024 Baltic cruise. Now...I'm wondering about the window. These two unique C1s on Deck 7 and their counterparts on Deck 6 (6004/6005) have the additional interior space that would be balconies as in the Veranda rooms just next to them aft. Anyone have a picture from 7006 looking out with the curtains open?

We've 29 days until our Sirena cruise in the E. Caribbean. Will be interesting to see how many passengers and crew will be aboard her.

Any trip is what you make of it, though I tend to agree with your assessment of the respective itineraries. Did much of that W. Caribbean cruise in 12/21. Two of the worst things about your proposed new itinerary is the abject fake "Costa Maya" day (what a joke that tourist trap is!) and the beach day at the mediocre Harvest Kay. Too bad it didn't include Belize City instead (which I fell in love with walking around for hours on a beautiful Sunday, the people so friendly). But take something as "junky" as Santo Tomas, Guatemala. We spent no time there but did an amazing excursion to Livingston and up the Rio Dulce into backwater Mayan communities (thru Go With Gus). A day I'll never forget. And the day on Roatan playing with sloths and monkeys at the reserve was wonderful, too, followed by some time at the West End. And swimming with dolphins and manatees at Cozumel. We did our own excursions. We're in our late 50s.
