Cruise Junky

I have a slightly different take on riviera. As her last cruise is a repositioning cruise to Asia, they’ll be released when the exotics gets released.

START THE CAR!! Book it 😂😂

Lol…it’s celebrity..close counts 😂😂

What is this new $15 upgrade price? Wow. I paid $9.99 so still ahead but that’s interesting they’ve dropped the regular price

Exactly! Say her name three times and click your heels 👠😂😂. Need a peek at that world cruise.

Wow. The video alludes to the World Cruise out of AU being open In November too. That’s early! Can’t wait to see the itineraries.

No ESTA required for entering the US for Canadian citizens.

I thought Riviera would be in AU for 2025/26. Wait for the deployments of Rivera after September 25 when she repositions to Asia.

I’m from the Westcoast. There are plenty of wild salmon that is not from Alaska. Costco on the Westcoast sells fresh or previously frozen wild salmon. Usually Copper River or Sockeye. We do not eat farmed salmon. Costco is actually pretty good for seafood on the Westcoast. Lots of fresh crab.

I’m assuming the Salmon is farmed? Has anyone had that confirmed?

Definitely wasn’t comparing lines. I’m all about the itinerary. We want a Western Europe, London to Barcelona kind of thing followed by a Suez Canal We’re currently booked on Nieuw Statendam 28 days followed by Azamara Pursuit 18 days for Athens to Dubai. Definitely wasn’t saying HAL compares to Oceania but I will have their highest drink package, tips,, a very large balcony and probably better entertainment. My statement is more aimed that I’m not seeing any benefit/value in having to pay the simply more prices on Oceania. It puts them out of range especially with their lousy included drink package. But I guess that’s why we drive a Toyota 😂

To each his own…we cruise for the itinerary. I can eat when I get home 🤷🏻‍♀️

Even comparing them to Azamara where the food will be better than HAL, they’re $7k (for 2) more expensive for an extra two days. (Suez Canal…nautica vs pursuit) I wish them luck.

I think even with the 5% off their new pricing model of no basic fare will keep us on a similar itinerary on HAL. $5k more on Oceania for 2 days less. I don’t think we’ll be switching

I agree with you. The itinerary we’ve been looking at on an online TA site, had the price drop about $1,000 pp late tonight which would be around 5%.

A year today we’ll be boarding her 😄

We’re on this one next year. Post lots of tips 😂. And hello from the Oahu North Shore. Enjoy Honolulu.

They changed the itinerary of the one we were eyeing …Marina 56 days in October. Alexandria was on the itinerary yesterday, it’s gone today. Now only a single day out of Port Said.

They’re also on some online only TA sites

Thanks for the heads up.

Be creative with flights. Check routes like Hawaiian from Seattle via Honolulu.

Good to see it confirmed. Can’t wait to see the itinerary.

Heading there on Friday. (turtle bay). The road can be absolutely nuts with surfers on a weekend or during competitions. Much better in the week. It’s a great drive around the island.

Good for you guys. Glad to see HAL offering it overseas as well. I was happy to not have to part with $4,500 two years in advance.

It was on Facebook yesterday. Congrats, nice upgrade
