Interesting. I'm a Pinnacle member too and I've never heard of this; granted I've only held this status for about 12 months now. Thank you.

I agree; they could have chosen a different spot or added more acoustical insulation but nope. Was on Radiance in February but didn't so the Chef's Table there so cannot comment on that.

I called RC one time to get to my past cruises so I could make a listing of everything. However, I only started sailing in 2003 and nothing as early as 1990. Give them a call and see if they might be able to assist as they did me. Good luck. I

We had done it on our last Jewel sailing in April of 2023 and it was great actually. There were only 8 of us so it was a small group but a good group. My problem was its location as it's right next to the Safari Club and it was so loud in our dining area. They were playing some game and we heard every single laugh, joke, commentary etc. Very disturbing actually. Never again on that ship.

Although I'm pinnacle on RC, it'll be a long time for me to hit Z with Celebrity......like 2504 points. I currently only have 496 right now 🤔

We're headed to Singapore, Thailand and Malaysia this upcoming February, 2024. I'm not too concerned myself as we don't "advertise" ourselves. We go with the flow so to speak. As this is our first time there, we'll book excursions on the ship that accommodate many people.

Guess I won't be sailing on them, then. 😅

I'm on the 10/30/2023 cruise from Italy to Dubai and I made a reservation already. Good luck.

Thanks. I didn't realize that there were 2 different restaurants with "almost" the same name. I'll take a look.

I stupidly put in some good shirts and pants. Ruined! Watchout what you put in.

Truly, this information is very much appreciated. Thank you.

My first Virgin cruise is on Valiant Lady on 10/22 out of Barcelona. When can I start making dining reservations? 2 weeks out? 1 month? I usually like a 5:30pm dinner so I'm hoping that won't be any problem. Thanks.

Copied from a recent post on here: On 2/25/2021 at 5:54 PM, 2travelcats said: I’m hoping to get an up to date list of the RC ships that still have the free steam rooms and saunas. These are the single sex steam and saunas that are part of the men’s and women’s locker/changing rooms. So as far as you know, do the following ships still have the free steam and saunas that are part of the locker rooms? Adventure of the sea Brilliance of the Seas Explorer of the Seas Grandeur of the Seas Independence of the Seas Jewel of the Seas Mariner of the Seas Radiance of the Seas Rhapsody of the Seas Serenade of the Seas Vision of the Seas I believe the following do not have the free steam and saunas as they were removed during amplification: Enchantment of the Seas Freedom of the Seas Navigator of the Seas Voyager of the Seas And, I have no idea about the: Liberty of the Seas, or any of the ships in the Quantum or Oasis classes Thanks - husband loves to sauna and it is one of the “hooks” I can use to get him on a cruise!

Thank you, thank you, thank you. I'm sure this will help a lot of people and not just myself.

Good to know; thanks. So much paperwork.

Ahhhhh, no tipping? Really?????🤔

Interesting; thank you.

Thank you so very much; again. Safe travels.

Thank you; that's very helpful. I drink a lot of bottled water too so I'm assuming that the charge for that is deducted from the $600 bar tab? Thanks again for your help.

I did find it and it says I have Deep Blue Extra Add-Ons; $600 bar tab (which I don't drink alcohol LOL), Deep Blue Extras and another Bonus $100 Bar Tab. Husband only has the Deep Blue Extras listed under his name.

Alright, last question I promise LOL. As I'm doing a b2b, 5 nighter and a 9 nighter, will I need to basically fill out these forms 2x each or are they good for a certain amount of time, say 3 months or so? Thanks again for your help everyone.

Finally found it; and the letter they sent me with regards to my status match upgrade. Thanks all.

I did already; thank you. Although, it doesn't show up on my profile page as being a Sea Rover. It still says I'm a Sea Blazer.

Recently, I found a cheaper, same room/same category cruise after my final payment was made; this was on RC. Their new policy is that after final payment, you'll get nothing back in either cruise onboard credit or credit card reimbursement. That kinda sucked actually.

I've seen nothing like that at all; in fact, I've probably seen more people and groups having fun than previous cruises lately.
