This is room 16617 which is our suite when we sail so I really appreciate you finding this😍
Keep it nice, we have that cabin on the transatlantic in Sept.

I'm having the same problem. I'm hoping it's just a temporary glitch.

Was in a balcony and surprised the lamps had the USB plug.

I have been told by Latam airlines special needs people that I cannot bring my scooter and battery on their planes when we fly. Lithium Ion batteries over 100 Wh are not allowed on their planes.
First time I have encountered this issue and sure hope it's the last! We have flown in the past with no problems with multiple airlines so this is a first for us.
If you talked to customer service I can tell you those people have no clue what is or isn't allowed. I flew Latam a few months ago out of Santiago and I had to go through the support dept. at support@casounico.zendesk.com. I have two batteries on my scooter, each 140 watts and had no problem. I did have to check in three hours early because there was a lot of paperwork to fill out and the batteries had to be inspected. I just copied this off the Latam site.
If you travel with your wheelchair with a lithium battery, you can transport it if you use one battery not exceeding 300 Wh or 2 batteries not exceeding 160 Wh each. In both cases, the batteries must be secured to the wheelchair. In addition, you can carry spare batteries as carry-on baggage under certain conditions:

I have a Travelscoot with a lithium ion battery that I have flown with numerous times. I always remove the battery and bring it on the plane with me in the bag I bought with the scooter. It is 274 Wh and the article states that 100 Wh is the max allowed. I also read this number of the airline web site earlier today and now I am very concerned. Am I missing something here?
I have a Travelscoot also and have taken it all over the world. This is what is on the FAA site so you are good.
Electric wheelchair, mobility scooter
In cases when the batteries are adequately protected, it is preferable that they remain installed in the mobility aid; however, there may be situations when that is not possible or safe to do so and in these cases the batteries must be removed. This description is for a wheelchair or mobility device that does not have a protective housing for its lithium ion battery, i.e., the mobility aid does not provide adequate protection to the battery. Lithium ion battery size is limited to 300 watt hours (Wh). One spare battery not exceeding 300 Wh or two spare batteries not exceeding 160 Wh each may be carried in carry-on baggage.

Fans are not even on the NCL prohibited item list but I have had them taken away also.

Jim or anyone that's onboard right now. Do they still have a crab shack lunch? In the past it was in the Tuscan Grille sometime during the cruise.

My daughters married name has an apostrophe in her passport but TSA, the airlines and all the cruise lines we've been on don't care. However she hasn't had a space between the first and second letter. If there is a space they might look at it as a middle name.

This update made things worse. Before I only had one cruise missing now it show I don't have any cruises booked.

Can’t find my booked cruise for April on the website as of today. I called Celebrity, and they couldn’t find the sailing, either....
Then I found this on United. Does anyone know anything about this?
Celebrity Cancelled Sailings
The following Sailings have been cancelled:
- Celebrity Solstice® sailings departing January 2, 2022 through April 24, 2022
- Celebrity Infinity® sailings departing December 13, 2021 through April 2, 2022
- Celebrity Eclipse® sailings departing January 3, 2022 through April 17, 2022.
In the most recent update Celebrity is now giving you 3 options to choose from:
Impacted guests can elect to 1) accept a Future Cruise Credit, 2) move to a future sailing with the new Lift & Shift option, or 3) request a refund:
- Option 1: 125% Future Cruise Credit: Your best value! You will receive a Future Cruise Credit for 125% of the amount paid, to be redeemed on-or-before April 30, 2022 on sailings through September 20, 2022. This is the option you will automatically receive if you don't take any action.
- Option 2: Lift & Shift: On or before August 3, 2021. Move to a qualifying cruise next year on the same itinerary, sailing length, embarkation port, stateroom category, and sailing +/- 2weeks from original sail date.
- Option 3: Refund: If you wish to decline the higher value 125% Future Cruise Credit and receive a lower value 100% refund of the cruise fare, please chat with us or call for more details by December 31, 2021. *Note: Refund takes 90 days to process.
This is old information from April 8th, 2021. All the cancelled Eclipse cruises were from when the Eclipse was supposed to be in Australia. Here is the web page of the old cancelled cruises. You will see the dates match with the Australia cruises. https://www.celebritycruises.com/travel-alert/voluntary-suspension-of-cruising

Has anyone found updated deck plans? I can’t find any in the NCL website for PRIMA and cruisedeckplans has not updated to reflect the new reveal yet.
They have added a few new things to the deck plans.

It looks to me, in the lower photo, that the "fence" in the foreground is the required shower for the adjacent pool.
If you look just to the right of the pool you can see the shower attached to the pool next to the pool steps.

Not to change the subject but it appears the Leo 2 is on it's way to Venice. The Tug Carlo Martello is heading south in the Black Sea at 3.3 knots. Estimating Porto Marghera on Aug 23, 2021

Could stopping the private elevators one deck short be a way of deterring non-Haven passengers from piggybacking up to the Haven public spaces?
That could be. If you look at the deck plans where the Haven elevator exits on deck 16, you have to walk past the concierge desk. I'm sure they will watch anyone that gets off the elevator.

Does anyone have experience with Premier Inn in London? The accessible rooms look good and the prices are quite reasonable. There are several located in the city, but I was looking at the Waterloo one. But others looked attractive as well.

I've stayed in that hotel. The accessible room they gave me was in the old hospital that is next door but connected to the new part of the hotel. The floors between the buildings are not on the same level so to get from the elevator in the new section to the accessible room in the old hospital you had to go up or down a steep ramp. There were also very heavy doors that were at both ends of the ramp. I believe they were fire doors. I think a person in a manual wheelchair would have a difficult time if they were alone. I fortunately had my wife go ahead to open the doors. We also had a problem with transportation not being allowed to park in front of the hotel for drop offs or pickups. We had to drag our luggage down to the alley north of the hotel. The hotel is nice and close to many attractions but if I ever went back I wouldn't stay there again.

I believe it's the Eclipse that's going into dry dock during that time.

You might want to check with MSC. I know they are moving several Amsterdam stops to Rotterdam.

So, just to make sure: If I'm walking on Julia Street and boarding a NCL ship, I don't need to take the escalators up to where Nordstrom Rack is right? I can just keep walking past the elevator on the sidewalk, over the streetcar tracks, and into the terminal?
That's correct. Go across the tracks and through the portal that says RCCL, NCL and the terminal door is on the right.

I'm not the OP but we received $24 pp as OBC for missing the port.

If you haven't already found them - we have a huge digest of trip reports on the Trip Advisor for all the small vessels operating down there. https://www.tripadvisor.com/ShowTopic-g1-i12337-k8993183-Frequently_Asked_Questions_Top_Questions_on_Antarctic_Travel-Antarctic_Adventures.html
Great information. Thank you.

Do try, if at all possible, to book an expedition cruise on a small ship and walk on snow amongst the penguins. A completely different experience for probably less additional cost than you might imagine.
We are researching all the cruises going down there. Especially the small ships.

Great review and great pictures. DW and I are planning a cruise to Antarctica in 2020.

Yes there is an elevator in the Haven lounge across from the bar. It services deck 17, 18 and 19.
