Can I please ask about things to do in the day or evening? Generally we will go to a show or a drink before dinner. After dinner dh goes to the casino (he stays up late) while I go for a coffee and then head to my room. On sea days I’ll go to the enrichment lectures or read & dh will sunbathe or go to the casino. Is that something that would work on O? We usually sail Celebrity mostly in suites but not always in suites. TIA

It’s not quite ‘luxury’ filling your tote bag to take to your room!

Thank you that’s most helpful. I will start looking with Princess, Viking and Seabourn but will most likely go with Princess once I’ve checked it all out. And see if I’m allowed to fly that far!

Thank you. I think for Glacier bay it’s just Princess or HAL? what would be best time of year ? Thank you

For some reason I missed your reply so I apologise! We’ve booked a land trip in the end 😊

If this is the case it’s slightly cheeky as SS aren’t cheap. Going to be in an MC in October but usually CS or PS.

I have to say wasn’t really blown away by the bars on Apex. Eden was always crowded, martini bar too noisy. MC was ok if not too windy. Sunset bar ok. I spent most of my time in retreat lounge when on my own but dh didn’t really like the lounge. Was on Silhouette in June and the bars especially ensemble lounge, my favourite, were better imo. Gutted there is nothing like Sky Lounge on E class.

Very good question emmas and one that hadn’t really occurred to me.

Am following this also as trying to decide what to do for my 60th. But also thinking Panama Canal. Would love to do both but not sure can on time constraints.

What’s the condition of the Coral Princess like? Possibly looking at it for a Panama (want to do old locks) or Alaska cruise. Reviews aren’t great. Tia.

Thank you. Not sailed with Princess before so it’s all new.

For those that have done both which do you prefer please? Trying to get ideas for my 60th in a couple of years. Thank you.

Lovely thank you.

I can’t remember if it’s been mentioned but has anyone been on Cunard and if so how does it compare? I know about the dress code and tbh probably why it puts me off a little, but dh would loves the idea, and wants to cruise Cunard at some point. Also retreat to grills please thank you!

We will be in a magic carpet suite in October so I can report back then. I’m hopeful that any issues would have been sorted out by then.

Re formal nights - Can I ask please if cocktail dress is fine or is long preferable? I have both and we regularly attend black tie events. Looking ahead to 2025 and looking at alternatives to Celebrity which is our usual line. It’s my 60th so looking for something special. Thank you.

They can hopefully pass the messages up the food chain but I do feel very sorry for them having to deal with the brunt of complaints. Perhaps if there are enough complaints Celebrity will rethink. Personally I don’t think that will happen unless bookings go down for SS.

I had tier level both times also. I’ve emailed previously about vaping as well as the suite cutbacks but not the wider cutbacks. We occasionally sail in regular cabins so the wider cuts also affect us.

Also been asked to resubmit! Think I’ll resubmit also re cutbacks as I’m sure it’s not a real IT issue so they will see my query re vaping.

I don’t see it as complaining just stating things as people perceive them to be. I’d rather know what to expect before I board. I can then adjust my expectations accordingly and not be disappointed when I get on board. I can concentrate on finding the positives as i’ll already know the negatives and therefore won’t be upset or annoyed by them.

What a way to treat someone.

We’ve booked a couple on our upcoming cruise as we have a lot of OBC so will report back.

Well couldn’t switch as dates didn’t work. However have cancelled CS and moved to SV. A proper balcony. So I’m happy with money saved will do more speciality dining.

We have now cancelled our upcoming CS in Apex. Too much uncertainty & instead booked an SV. I’m happy even though I lost my deposit & OBC. We can have elite breakfast or OV. Almost managed to persuade dh to switch to Princess (better itinerary) but the dates were different and didn’t work. Next time possibly.

I knew there would be a thread here when I saw my email. My questions 1. vaping 2. Paying more for receiving less eg suites and butlers 3. The dreadful IV going forward on any new ships to have choice for customers. I think I’ll probably submit vaping as it’s a medical issue.
