So glad it worked out for you! I can't imagine going throught that. My stress and anxiety would have been off the charts! 😬

This is my biggest fear when traveling. I check, re-check, double, triple, and, quadruple check that I can put my hands on my passport... on the way to the airport, in the hotel, on the way to the cruise port.... ugh

We booked a gty for the first time, and are curious as well. We are still 100 days out, so not concerned yet. But was hoping we would know around the 30 day time frame.

We impulsively booked a cruise, and after the fact, realized it is over Easter, so expecting there may be lots of families and children. Not to offend anyone, but we are empty nesters, and slower paced. For this reason we usually choose longer cruises and older ships that suit our style better. Unfortunately we did not check the calendar before booking, so we will make the best of it. Where are some adult quiet places? I know the solarium, as well as the Viking lounge tend to be quiet. Any other public places?

Maybe the new menu will help people from gaining weight now. 😉

Thanks for sharing. That definitely sounds disappointing for sure.

I order from the "classics" more often than not, as I prefer simple, basic foods. I don't cruise again until March so it will be interesting to see the options. I may end up in the Wj depending on menu selection.

Yep. Same for our November cruise.

Same here. Never had my carry on looked at, and I always have wine in it.

Oh that is interesting. I wonder why. I have never had my wine taken out of my carryon.

Yes, we do also. Screw tops are so much easier!

YES!! I have been thinking this exact same thing for a while now. I cruise frequently from Baltimore and Tampa. I do enjoy Enchantment & Serenade, but it would be nice to have something new.

I've sailed many times with an inside cabin. I don't mind them at all, because I don't spend any time in there, other than sleeping.

I've been in adjoining cabins a few times. Never an issue for me.

Same. Nov 11-18 sailing was contracted tenders. We still don't know exactly what happened, or the reason, but we waited in the theater for almost two hours after our meeting time, before our number was called. By the time we got to shore, the tour had been canceled because it was too late. This happened to many excursions that day, and lots of very unhappy people.

Yes, the ice show is fabulous! I was on the Nov 11-18 sailing.

I found a previous thread discussing sailing with a passport expiring within six months. Many report that this is not an issue. So.... Would you sail with a passport that will expire in three months, or apply for renewal when you need it in 7 weeks? The gov website says expedited renewal processing is 3-5 weeks, not including mailing time. Itinerary is Southern Caribbean. Which option is least risky?

Has there been any announcement of when (if) official Meet & Mingles will resume?

When are you notified of your cabin number when you book GTY? Thanks

Not in the cabins on the Navigator Nov 11-18 sailing.

I felt the same way on my cruise earlier this month.

I was on the Navigator last week. We had several time changes, and a fellow passenger was complaining about it. He said that other cruise lines don't do this... ? I have no clue, maybe depends on the itinerary? While I don't particularly like it, I am used to it happening pretty regularly on the cruises I have been on.

I am curious as well. Just off the Navigator last week, and everything was the same as it's always been.

I have a friend returning on the Serenade today. Her last update said 1:00 pm ETA.

Any recent feedback on Vision of the Seas? Just booked a 10 day for the end of March. We too, are "older" 😂 (empty-nesters) and enjoy quiet time on sea days. I have been on the Grandeur 5 times, and also love Radiance class.
