Interesting, when we were on Vista, there were heated loungers to the right when you came through the door that were in the shade.....since it is located at the very front of the ship, it is not conducive to having many areas with shade

yes and yes

You are correct but there were loungers on both sides of Baristas so just chose the side with shade, if we wanted shade. Also loved the areas outside on Deck 14 on the side or front if we wanted to overlook the pool.....

We enjoyed Aquamar on Vista and it was always packed for breakfast and lunch. Another plus was you can order food "to go" and eat at your lounger by the pool or they deliver to your table in Terrace. A much better use of space then La Reserve sitting empty all day and most evenings. Since no one knows for sure exactly what cabin refurbishments will actually occur, difficult to judge $$ use.

If you are willing to not sit around the pool, there are loungers in the sun and shade all around on the upper decks. We found several areas with multiple loungers that look out over the ocean that were never full, crowded or "reserved". Also enjoyed the quiet and no one walking around bumping into us or our lounger. One of our favorite shades places was outside Baraistas - drinks, snacks and bathrooms were just inside the door...

Sorry you misunderstood....each cabin had 2 free WIFI accounts while onboard. Starlink is the Internet service used by the ship to provide Internet. You could upgrade your WIFI account (for a fee) to allow streaming, etc. but not necessary for everyday emails, etc. Also we used WIFI with Whatapp to make calls to family and friends while onboard, We found the regular WIFI worked fine for everything we needed including sending photos via email,

I know you can use OBC but never had a haircut onboard...

Tour price is the price of each tour. Simply More Shore Excursion Package is the price of the excursion if you purchase the minimum necessary to get a 25% discount on all booked excursions (# required varies depending upon length of cruise) and Unlimited is the price (0 or an add on) if you purchase the Unlimited Shore Excursion Package for the cruise (not available on all cruises) The explanation is on the page when looking at the shore excursions: OUR PRICING SIMPLY MORE SHORE EXCURSION PACKAGE Individual Excursions at regular price Minimum of 4 excursions for 25% off

I don't understand - Starliink (WIFI) is free onboard...2 accounts per stateroom. Or was the Starlink (WIFI) not working?

On our VISTA B2B in October/November - we received notices on our bed and it was noted in the Currents several times in the week prior to disembarking. Also, there was information about it in the internet room and they would assist with completing, Sorry you missed these on your Vista cruise.

We just spent 32 days on Vista and did not experience crowding in Terrace and it did not close until after 9PM...we usually went to dinner around 7:30 and easily found tables inside and outside. I am sure it depends upon the ship and itinerary (staying late in port and many people coming back late to the ship and all descending upon Terrace at the same time). The waiters always came around to tell you that the buffet would be closing soon to give you an opportunity to make one last trip. We then would often stay until 9:30 and enjoy our dessert, an after dinner port, etc. while they were clearing off the food from the buffet. The waiters never made us feel rushed to leave.

The OP was expecting to have her luggage picked up and delivered to the ship so the amount of luggage was not a concern. Now that she has discovered this is not happening, she is having to pivot at the last minute. Keep all of the receipts for the extra you had to pay for transfers, extra luggage, etc. and give/send to O for reimbursement. You should be compensated for the total out of pocket expense you incurred due to not having Luggage Forward amenity as promised.

I don't know what to tell you as I just tried it on all 5 of our upcoming cruises and ti worked that way for all.....I did not pay, the cart was the place I stopped. After I checked "prepaid gratuities" it then show our name with the words prepaid gratuities next to them and no other choices....just like your picture shows. Did you check your cart to see if they are in there? Ron House Select-Wine BY Glass & Beer W/Meal Prestige Select - Wine, Beer & Spirits Prepaid Gratuities None Barba House Select-Wine BY Glass & Beer W/Meal Prestige Select - Wine, Beer & Spirits Prepaid Gratuities None

The prepaid gratuities option is indeed under the beverage package option.....it shows as pre-paid under one of the options. When you check on pre-paid gratuities next to each person's name. You then click on add to cart and when you view the cart it will show the total amount owed and you can pay for it (but you can not use OBC) so if you have OBC then just wait until onboard and the gratuities will be added and the amount will be subtracted from your available OBC. It is confusing but that is how is works. PREPAID GRATUITIES 573_Details $180.00 ($18.00 per guest, per day Gratuity Included) You the

This is not true - we had 3 different cruises booked under OLife in 2023 and 2024 and on 2 of the cruises the price was lower under SM and 1 was the same..,,and these were previously booked under a sale offer.

I don't believe you need a sleeve of cups and lids - if you want to be able to walk around with a cup of coffee than people suggest bringing along a A cup with a lid. The lid was the only thing no longer provided. There were plenty of single serve jams on the tables in the morning, condiments are never single serve packets on O . Shampoos and lotions were plentiful in the bathrooms. I am confused on what your comment meant to imply....

I am glad that there are the crew gratuities which are shared with so many "behind the scenes" crew who perform personal service for me - laundry (my clean sheets, towels, dining linens, etc.), dishwashers (my clean dishes), public area maintenance, etc.

We had our embarkation changed from Venice to Trieste a few years ago and surprisingly loved Trieste!. We hired a private driver to pick us up at Marco Polo airport and drive us to Trieste hotel. We then spent 2 days exploring Trieste, Slovakia, Northern Croatia and Italian coast. We would go back to Trieste gladly.

I think they were saying that is where the library is going and the new creperie is going where the library is on Vista, next to Barristas. It would not make sense to have an eating spot tucked away on Deck 14...

Yes - they were in the Lync digital room between the Internet room and the smoking room on Deck 14. Lots of games and puzzles and tables to use.....

Sounds yummy - not on the deck plans ....will have to wait and see the unveiling

Yes, inquiring minds want to know...I just looked at the Deck Plan for Allura and the library appears to be exactly the same as on Vista...we loved it on Vista

Same with us - appears it was popular on our cruise!

On Vista there are heated loungers out on the spa deck....perhaps there are some elsewhere too on Vista....only commenting on Vista since that was the topic of this thread

In the spa area at the front of the ship that is free to Concierge and above and available for others to purchase a day pass
