Rare goldengatecruisers Posted July 25, 2023 #13 Share Posted July 25, 2023 Thank you Keith and Terry. I have goosebumps on my goosebumps and literally kicking myself for canceling the inaugural! Great photos and for those of us not on any social media we really appreciate you posting them on Cruise Critic, so a big 'thank you'. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It starts at 130p and it is a 3 and a half hour tour. We should be free to meet you before or after that tour. On 7/22/2023 at 7:17 AM, PTIGIRL said: Thanks for letting us know!!

KenzSailing Posted July 25, 2023 #17 Share Posted July 25, 2023 The space labeled "The Lounge" must be the old casino space. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wearesiamese Posted July 25, 2023 #18 Share Posted July 25, 2023 Are they still going to have mini refrigerators in each stateroom? I couldn't tell by the pictures ?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

According to the amenities listed for the staterooms, I think that's the case. The solo cabin lists "Complimentary wine and spirits from set menu; Complimentary soft drinks" and I'm guessing that would be in a mini fridge. Even the small cabins on Ponant's explorer ship had a decent sized mini fridge. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Txcotn Posted July 25, 2023 #21 Share Posted July 25, 2023 Ship looks gorgeous, Lounge is a nice idea for old casino space! Sapphire looks wonderful but IMO granite is garish, could have been more soothing without the overspeckled look. Also in Osteria and Umi - what makes a restaurant think people want to crowd into a sofa to eat? I (just me there) would prefer chairs but at least it's not a banquette! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expect the same with the "new" Crystal. So, the included champagne is still to be revealed! Patty 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
happy cruising Posted July 25, 2023 #23 Share Posted July 25, 2023 The ship left Venice about 2 hours ago and will arrive in Dubrovnik tomorrow! Pinching myself that the Serenity is again cruising! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ctjon Posted July 25, 2023 #24 Share Posted July 25, 2023 Sure doesn't look like an "old ship" maybe some of those comments will stop. Looks great 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TUCKERTOOTS Posted July 25, 2023 #25 Share Posted July 25, 2023 Do you think that’s the entire menu for Osteria? Hopefully just an option or maybe for the public relations cruise? 🤔 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
