    We did a land trip to Crete and from Chania drove to biolea for an olive oil tour. Can’t do it without a car or organized tour. Their oil is very nice.

    Nice to see they’re breaking up the Transpacifics too with a Honolulu and Auckland as options.

    Now that I have the layout figured out, they’re kind of cool.

    Figured it out. Looks like half the balcony belongs to 4041 and 4042. Didn’t realize NS was different.

    Hi. Looking at deck plans it looks like Rotterdam and Koningsdam 4044 and 4043 are large decks but Nieuw Statendam is not. Is that correct. NS shows the sideways cabin, but the deck looks split in 2. Can anyone confirm? Please and thank you.
  6. Cruise Junky
    Yes, absolutely. The shore excursions say it’s a 3 hour drive.

    I believe we’re booked on the same cruise. Nieuw Statendam. I don’t think the itinerary can be duplicated on another line so I’ll possibly save money with staying out of the casino for 28 days 🤷🏻‍♀️
  8. Cruise Junky
    Yes, it’s a fully refundable deposit and no air or hotels booked yet.

    I’m honestly facepalming myself. It never even occurred to me in this day and age to check that HAL was still allowing smoking inside. My bad for booking without checking. Sailing NS.

    Also, read the fine print. Some cruises are including the crew tips in the have it all. That definitely changes the math. If that’s included the amount you need to spend on drinks drops.

    I’m not saying it’s not selling but have you checked all legs? Perhaps there are different cabins being held it’s being sold in at least 4 ways. It’s absolutely possible it’s selling very well but Princess has a habit of only releasing some per leg.

    On Princess it gets you a cruise credit. Book a suite it gets you two

    A lot of people may have done curtesy holds. Likely drop off in a couple of days.

    Some are already on HAL’s site. I was just looking at the Pacific crossing for 2025 and the 35 Hawaii South Pacific is there.

    Just picked a random large grocery chain, I didnt price search. A 2 litre of Pepsi is $3.49. On sale, you could probably find under $2. I grocery shop in the US quite a bit. Some things are indeed cheaper in Canada but others are far more expensive. I have several US direct reports, they are paid higher than their Canadian counterparts. Likely due to health care costs.

    It’s a common promotion. Border towns in the US do it all the time. Just means we’re both paying $1,000 for a cruise and not US residents paying $1000 and Canadian residents paying $1,300. Disappointing to see politics/policies being brought into this. It’s no different from a residency rate.

    Pretty sure that’s a friend of mine 😂

    Problem I have with Celebrity’s current prices is they’re coming close to Oceania. And side by side itinerary, Celebrity will lose every time. Completely depending on what you cruise for but if it’s itinerary, it won’t be on X for us.
  19. Cruise Junky
    Irrelevant. I believe it has to be 24 hours between sailings. It is an illegal cruise and has been for decades.
  20. Cruise Junky
    You only have to look at the embarkation port and the disembarkation port. You’re doing a one way Honolulu to Seattle without hitting a foreign DISTANT port. Can’t be done. See if you can find another ship to do the Alaska portion.
  21. Cruise Junky
    Why? Disney is 2x the price and Ovation might be a good ship but the itinerary is garbage.
  22. Cruise Junky
    Well given a choice I’d rather be in Hawaii than in the Pacific with dicey weather, but that’s just me 🤷🏻‍♀️
  23. Cruise Junky
    Not an issue for Hawaii. Book an S class instead of edge. For Hawaii celebrity would win hands down because of being 1 way. Princess has a one way and the itinerary is crap.
  24. Cruise Junky
    I think we’re talking about two different things. You’re referring to Florida to Vancouver and I’m talking about Vancouver to Hawaii. There are now direct flights from Vancouver to a couple of Florida cities.
  25. Cruise Junky
    We really enjoy the North Shore of Oahu. It allows us to pop into Honolulu for the day and then escape. Best of both worlds 🤷🏻‍♀️ Big island is the only one we haven’t done a land trip but have been three times on a cruise.
