We went on The Edge in 2020 and LOVED the entertainment! We tried the enhanced Balcony concept (idk what they are calling it) and it was ok- I think we used it about as much as we would the regular balcony-lol. But times have definitely changed everything- look forward to going on Celebrity again in October on Equinox.

I have cruised on the MSC Meraviglia from FL - beautiful ship! My words of wisdom - Check your bill at the end -- I assumed it was a charge and it was a credit on my account idk how -- but they wouldn't let me disembark -- It was less than $10 -- having an early flight to catch I had to sign a paper waving the cash -- BUT it did hold up the line and it was very annoying & totally my fault for not reading the final account correctly. I will be following along:) Enjoy your trip!!!

I am booked for end of Jan this year Rhine river cruise with Viking. Excited to be going to new places instead of another island again for our early winter vacation. I am okay being outside in the cold weather and have winter gear. I do think it would be very interesting to take the same trip again once the weather warms up- it would be a totally different experience. Looking forward to the adventure:) ~Tracy

I have a cruise booked for mid Jan 23 and just received air booking information with Viking yesterday - direct flight from Newark to Zurich on United - my flight information was on the United site and I was able to do an upgrade to economy plus for $139 and change my seat - I know it's just 6 inches more leg room but to me it was worth the price:) Enjoy your trip!

At the beach club last June we had a 10ish min downpour - we went under the restaurant area - they had towels ready. Also last June had a brief downpour and we were on the beach there - they did put down the umbrellas bc of the wind - we just stayed under a towel until it passed A bunch of people headed back to the ship - most of the time it's just a passing shower & we just wait it out:) Enjoy your trip!!!

First night in Oasis central park balcony - the pool area is above and they forgot to turn off the music - at 3am I called the front desk and they sent security to my room to check - they could hear it was loud - they apologized and assured us it would be shut off and it was within around 15 min it was peaceful quiet. We did eventually change to a ocean balcony and lesson learned that the inside facing cabins are not for us-

Wonderland is veg friendly - the experience is worth the price. Izumi has yummy veg options and delicious. Chops idk - maybe order all of the veg apps - I have not been there. Most of the menus are on the website.

I made a list from different reviews of unique souvenirs to the areas we visited- here is what I have for Finland- enjoy your trip! Finland--lingonberry jam, Anything that's reindeer-related (from reindeer skins to etched crystal to magnets), anything from Marimekko, wooden butter knives. Helsinki’s famous Kauppatori Market Square, a colorful way to begin exploration of Helsinki. Once there, we purchased a one-day City Card, which gave us free access to sights, museums and public transport, including the Tourist Tram 3T, which makes a 60-minute round trip from Market Square and passes most of the city’s “must-see” sights, including the Senate Square and its beautiful cathedral.

I do miss the trays- it was much easier - now I always have a tote bag with me to put in the silverware - one less thing to carry. I would suggest you ask the hostess for assistance and a tray or any of the staff in the windjammer. I have found them willing to help - have asked for soy milk and they would go find me some - Have a wonderful vacation!

On Oasis 2nd week of May - that had started seating people together again - we found out when we were seated at an 8 top the first night (no one else showed up- so an 8 top for just the two of us) - we did have another couple sit with us a few evenings (very nice chatting) - but I think it's hit and miss filling a table with all of the specialty dining experiences offered and the buffett is now also open for dinner.
