Also curious, why does everyone hate CATS? I'm going on Oasis very soon...

From some pics I see online it looks like the Trundle type where the bed pulls out from the bottom of the sofa like a drawer. 
 

I had the same question about balcony and they should be the same. 

Thanks!

Does anyone know if the double sofa beds on Odyssey of the Seas (interior cabin) lay out flat like they do in this video from Icon (

) or is it a trundle like this: 

I know Cadiz has free wifi at the cruise terminal.  What about other Spanish ports, specifically Malaga, Alicante, Valencia, Barcelona?

Glad you got to ride GOTG ride at epcot.  I think it's the most technologically sophisticated coller coaster at Disney!

To summarize, I will leave Quebec City on April 12th on a direct flight to Orlando. From April 12th to the 20th, I will be staying at Disney’s Pop Century Resort. Then, on April 20th, I will take the Brightline train from Orlando to Miami where I will be staying for one night. Finally, on April 21st, I will board the Oasis of the Seas for the transatlantic.

Welcome!  I am originally from Montreal, never been to Quebec City but thinking of going mid -May.  After I return from this TA cruise 🙂

I was at Disney World in Sep 2022 and I would highly recommend Guardians of the Galaxy at Epcot.  I'm sure you know which rides require virtual queue, Genie+, etc. Tron was not open yet. Remy is also a must.  Star Wars at Hollywood Studios is also amazing.

Just curious, what airline are you flying from BCN to Canada? I've found that Air Transat has cheap flights from Portugal to Canada usually.

The Vancouver to Hawaii sailing on Anthem Oct 4, 2025 is so disappointing. No stops on any Hawaiian islands except ending in Honolulu.

Where is the MSC Bellissima for May 2024 and then July-Aug 2024?  I don't see any itineraries for this ship during these months

Hawaii is usually released with the Australia itineraries - week of 8th April.

Which ship do we think might go to Hawaii?

@CanadianBurger Hello fellow Torontonian!  Thank you for the photos and info!  I was wondering if you have time to post photos of the kids clubs?  I have only seen artist rendered depictions and no live pictures.  Do you know if the Neon Grove is supervised by staff? Thanks in advance

Are all the 2025 itineraries out yet? I don't see any sailings for Rotterdam after it's transatlantic cruise Oct 2025.  Just curious if it will be doing Panama Canal after the TA.

Interesting..there's going to be an MSC ship in LA too starting in October 2025

I've lost track. Any idea where Anthem, Ovation or Quantum will be for fall 2025 or later?

Holding out but do not want to wait too long as the pricing for other cruises released are all pretty high and waiting usually means higher pricing and as we are in Canada... the pricing is all a lot higher than what our US friends are paying in US dollars.

I've noticed the same.  Better to pay in USD with a Canadian CC that doesn't charge an exchange fee? But usually those don't come with good travel insurance 🤔 

What's also interesting is the US RCCL website shows 635 cruises available to book whereas the Canadian RCCL website shows only 595

From where, i dont see any from florida

From Europe to Florida or Bayonne

I think there are glitches in the system though...for example Kids sail free promo is not being applied to the final price so I guess they still have things to sort out

Fall 2025 TA's are out

So, I'm going on the website, hitting "search cruises" and seeing 599 cruises. I figure as long as that number doesn't change, they haven't added the next batch of itineraries. 

 

Why did I not think of this strategy! Thank you 🙂

No it’s being offered to people currently booked on Ovation. Will go on the website after Feb 20 when the Ovation passenger decision deadline ends. 

Thanks! Interested in where it (or Quantum) will go for fall 2025...

The new Quantum sailing from Honolulu to Vancouver is 8 days instead of 9 now. I'm sure they're more than happy to offer that for the same price.

Is this on RCCL's website? Can't seem to find it...

I am not sure about the solarium - but as much as I know there´s a certain time when kids are allowed.

The buffet had some Japanes dishes sometime and one Ramen day. Otherwise no. 
But the restaurants in Japan are great - go try local.

 

Thanks.  Good to know they have some hours for kids in case the weather is too cold for the main pool

Do the quad occupancy cabins on Millennium have pullman beds or sofa beds?

Thanks for the report and beautiful pictures.  Could you tell me if the solarium pool allows kids? Was there any Japanese food on the ship outside of paid restaurants?

Any thoughts on which ship/itinerary is better?  All I know is the Celebrity ship is a lot smaller but with so many ports I won't be spending much time on board.  I also believe the Celebrity ship has been renovated recently so aesthetically is more modern.

Celebrity Millennium 12 days:

Tokyo - At Sea - Osaka (Kyoto) - Osaka (Kyoto) - Kochi - Hiroshima - At Sea - Jeju Island - Nagasaki - Kigoshima - At Sea - Shimizu - Tokyo

Diamond Princess 10 days:

Tokyo - At Sea - Beppu - Miyazaki - Kagoshima - Nagasaki - Busan - Sasebo - At Sea - Toba - Tokyo

I haven't been on Celebration, but after sailing on Mardi Gras, no ship of that class will get a recommendation from me.  Too many people and not enough public space.  I was on it while cruising was still limited to 60% and the piano bar and comedy clubs were still packed and many people couldn't get in.  Pizza line stretched back to guest services.  Rooms were narrower and the bathrooms were tiny.  i greatly prefer the Vista class ships and have been on them 5 times with a 6th coming up.  Plus the ABC islands are far better than that Celebration itinerary.  

Thanks. I was afraid the Celebration might be too overcrowded.  I'm booked on the Venezia and that one seems crowded too (based on passenger capacity and size of ship) so I guess we will see.
