Having seen the cabanas I’d Stick to the retreat. There were lots of available sun loungers on our sailing in October. However the retreat wasn’t full so I’m certain that would have made some difference.
I’ve stepped in one & have no desire to do so again. Same as I don’t want to have an inside or oceanview cabin. I like a proper balcony. It’s my haven & my place for early morning tea. Bliss.
This is why on our recent Apex cruise I booked the restaurants separately online. I wanted to know that I could dine at the time I liked. Cost a bit more than getting the package but I preferred it that way.
Having seen Aqua cabin on Apex (we were in a CS) there is no way I would ever sail in one. Id rather not cruise. For me a proper balcony is too important. I’ve said SV with 4 MDRs & specialty dining or a suite on all E class ships. Dh agrees.
We were in a CS in October. Our mini bar was stocked with our choice of soft drinks, water & beer. At no point apart from embarkation, were we offered Champagne in our suite. We’ve been in PH before & we had bar set up & champagne whenever we wanted.
Anyone know please if you need to book for lunch on embarkation day? I’m trying the app & earliest available slot is 6pm. Just wonder if we can turn up once we have boarded? It’s for May on Silhouette. Thank you
Staysure were a nightmare for dh & I. We ended up getting travel insurance through Axa who we have health insurance with. What a mare. Mind you they have so many exclusions as well. Before dh retired we never had any issues with either travel or health insurance.
Which cruise line would you all recommend for Alaska please?
We usually sail Celebrity in a suite but are open to other lines including luxury ones.
Thank you
We’ve used the tram when staying near Taksim. Was sad to hear about the explosion there at the weekend. My sister was there the week before staying with friends.
I love the cisterns so interesting.
Was coming on to say the same!
If I’m honest I was a little disappointed with Olympia, probably as it was cold (October) first thing & I couldn’t concentrate. Museum was fabulous. I will go back to Olympia in warmer times!
Olympia v Ephesus- Ephesus every time. And I’m Greek 😁
Is that in Olden itself & do we need to prebook? That sounds right up our street so thank you.
Just out of interest which is your favourite cruise line - you are an officianado!
