  1. I cannot book MTD for Odyssey for February but I can book the solarium bistro.
  2. I'm not sure if NCL charges for pool towels not returned by the end of the cruise but if the chair hoggers' towels were removed daily and they had to pay, that might keep them from doing this.
  3. I booked four cruises through Carnival website when they were having their birthday sale back in 2022 because I was afraid they would disappear from my VIP account. My travel agent accepted two of them for transfer but the other two were "too cheap" for her to handle.🙂
  4. Not true. We did it for our Feb. 2024 Venezia cruise. This is my TA's response:
  5. After always eliminating the Island Princess because they do not have an International Cafe, I finally did book a 10 day Canada & New England cruise for next June. Just won't tell hubby about no IC till we board and then claim I didn't know.😬
  6. Never have I ever booked a cruise this early but I just booked the Sky for October, 2026 for the Canary Islands when they had that one weekend sale of $200pp OBC (price came down next day and they refared it still kept OBC). I have sailed on the Enchanted Princess in 2022 and will again this November and enjoyed it very much. Hopefully I will enjoy the Sky as well. I am also booked on the Island Princess for next June. Have they fixed all the problems that were on the June 4th cruise like flooding and no AC? Maybe you can do a review?
  7. On Princess if you don't see it displayed just ask. They will bring it out.
  8. Does the solarium serve any food? In looking at the past cruise compass it only lists it as a bar.
  9. We just booked Advanced Car Rentals with Celestino for our Nov. cruise. He asked us for some personal information which I supplied. Now I am a little worried that I gave this to him so early. Did you have any financial trouble after you booked with him? He did get many good reviews here on cruise critic so I just want to ease my mind. Thanks.

  11. We have never cruised Holland America but are considering one for 2025. We are eligible for the AARP OBC and the Healthcare & First responders OBC. Should we apply for these before we actually book a cruise so I can tell my TA we have them or wait until after we book?
  12. I get offers all the time but nothing recent on Princess. I have one for $300 off $750 (both me and my DH) for Holland America which will be expiring in September. We never sailed them and their prices are very high plus I heard that the deposits are unrefundable. I would hate to put down $1500 and find out I need to cancel or change. I also have one for Carnival for $150 off $750 (both of us) expiring in August which isn't as good as the Holland America one.
  13. My Sept. 2025 Symphony also has Nassau 12:30-8 before Coco Key.
  14. On a Joy cruise to Canada we purchased a hop on hop off excursion from NCL. We waited over an hour on a line in the hot sun to get on a bus while the people who bought their tickets at the pier got on buses right away. We complained to the service desk and they credited us back half the price. Then when we got to our cabin there was a bottle of wine and canapes compliments of NCL.
  15. Back in the 60's when I was a newlywed we went to Richard Nader's first ever rock n roll revival in Madison Square Garden. I can't remember all the groups that performed but I do remember the Harptones and the Skyliners. It also was the first performance of Sha Na Na (remember Bowser?) I would love a doo wop cruise.
  16. So I googled cruise compass 2024 and this is what I came up with
  17. We also walked the donkey trail when after waiting an hour on the line for the lift and nothing moved. Only bad part was like yours when we got stuck manoeuvering through the donkeys. Didn't seem so bad afterwards. But you would think I learned my lesson? Nooo! Last year in Bergen, Norway (on our b2 with you on the Pride) we took the lift up the mountain but decided to walk down. Said only 2+ kilometers. Man was that rough for me. Wore the wrong kind of sneakers that didn't hug the ground so my ankles were on fire by the end. Said it took 20 minutes but for me 2 hours.
  18. I now always have my TA send me cashback instead of OBC. It makes me feel like I paid less for the cruise.😀
  19. Do you have a copy of the 5 day entertainment schedule? We will be on her the first week in September.
  20. We were on the Enchanted repo from NY to FL in Nov. 2022 and again booked it this year in Nov. We usually like to travel on ships we hadn't been on before so wasn't so excited but after seeing your pics of the delicious looking food am starting to look forward to it. We have recently been doing mostly Carnival because when they had their big anniversary we were able to book four cruises at half price. And last year we did one MSC. The food on Carnival was just okay and the food on MSC was barely edible.
  21. Hi. Following along again. We met last year on the Pride.
  22. I just had one applied by my TA. Had to send her a copy of the AARP gift card voucher and in turn she sent it to RCI. Took exactly two weeks to be credited to my cruise. I do not think I will purchase any more because of the stress in getting it applied. Carnival and Princess are so easy.
  23. On another note, I had an NCL credit card that expired back in 2017. Would I be eligible to apply again, pay the $1000 toward my booked cruise, get the 20,000 credits and then use it either as statement credit toward final payment on the same cruise? Never knew you can use it to upgrade. I'm booked with a TA so does she have to contact NCL to upgrade?
