  1. It means she’s going to dry dock before starting her Mediterranean summer.
  2. I’ve got $2810 for hubby and me “on hold” for Norwegian Fjords June 2025. Balcony. Waiting for celebrity to release then name a decision. I thought that price was very fair but flights might do us in lol
  3. https://www.cnn.com/travel/article/amsterdam-cruise-ship-ban-intl-scli/index.html
  4. My icon UDP was $70 more than what I paid a year ago. Hideaway Beach is $10 less total so not rebooking it for that small amount. That’s all I’ve bought for icon. Being D+ we don’t buy drink or internet packages anymore and I book private excursions on the islands. Utopia next October we don’t plan on any buying anything as we’re doing a sky class JS. We possibly will buy the new restaurant on Deck 4 or see if we can use our BOGO. I have a feeling that restaurant will be excluded from the BOGO
  5. We’re excited! 12 of us going. We’re sailing along the Danube with an overnight in Vienna. Also Krems, Passau, Regensburg. Then taking train to Prague for 3 nights. Should be epic! (And cold!)
  6. This is making me queasy lol Have a Viking river cruise next December out of Budapest (Christmas Markets) and I just realized flights will likely be released soon. I could use Viking Air for $899. May have to seriously look at that. I know the flights won’t be ideal though. It’s either pay through the nose or be inconvenienced
  7. Debating if I should just go ahead and book Indy to the fjords or hold out for Celebrity next week. Amsterdam port schedule for June 2025 is showing Brilliance and Celebrity Eclipse several times as well as Indy (as a port stop). **edit: just saw that Brilliance will be out of Athens summer 2025. Guess Amsterdam is already limiting ships. Was hoping for a celebrity out of Amsterdam Not super thrilled with Indy although I’ve known she’d be out of Southampton for awhile now. Tempted to put a refundable deposit down then see what Celebrity has next week
  8. Anyone have any scoop on which celebrity ships will be out of UK, Amsterdam/Rotterdam? I do see Eclipse out of Amsterdam but not sure if that’s just a port stop or port of origin.
  9. Looking at Amsterdam port schedule, it’ll be Brilliance. Won’t let me copy link. Go here: cruiseportamsterdam.com
  10. Just got off Allure this morning, her first 4 night Bahamas run. I was a little concerned about finding parking in T1 garage as Wonder cars were already there. (Indy had left to homeport in Miami). One thing that irked us was they make you drive into lower level, merge with luggage drop off people then finally go up the ramps. We were carryon only so really wanted to just enter and go up. They really should consider letting people go directly up that aren’t checking luggage. It just adds more congestion. Garage didn’t open until 9:30. Plenty of spaces up on level 3. Never saw the surface lots this morning. Wasn’t paying attention
  11. So thankful we were able to do the Holy Land cruise last October. Truly an amazing experience. I hope everyone gets a chance at some point to visit Israel.
  12. She still had mechanical dry dock in 2020 so she’s due in 2025. Her Amp was cancelled
  13. Coming to add: our bag was a leaker. Saw crown lounge concierge last night and we had a new one on our bed when we got back from dinner
  14. On allure now. Heard 2025 for her dry dock (last was 2020). Hope they upgrade her but leave the slides off. Been so nice without all those ugly slides. Lol
  15. On Allure now. Our first time on her. We love her and you’d never know she’s as old as she is. She looks great! Food has been really good in chops, 150 and Izumi. Tonight is Samba. I love this old style solarium. Had to visit this Crown Lounge simply due to location. Concierge was very helpful with a leaking cooler bag situation. Had a new one delivered last night. Weather has been surprisingly good until today. Literally sitting still off Freeport. Extremely windy. Have fun!
  16. Reporting back on our experience today on Allure. Went to a pool bar where a white shirt was behind the bar. Initially he said no. Asked if we brought these onboard (what?). He clearly didn’t know about these bags. He still said we couldn’t switch the Bud light for corona. Hubby was not happy! White shirt called someone else and he finally let us change them out. I went into the cruise planner afterwards and this is on the bud light page. I suggest screen shooting it to show that you absolutely can substitute for something similar
  17. I’ve been to Antigua 3 times but never on an oasis class. I’m assuming they’re building a new pier or extending a pier to accommodate oasis class and it’s behind schedule. Have been to St Kitts twice and going again on icon in April. It’s ok. Went to a small (really small) resort on Nevis the first time and Cockleshell the second time. This time we may charter a boat
  18. Well you might get your dream! If you’re on Facebook go join this page
  19. We’re on after you and the forecast is windy all next week too. October is a real crapshoot. We missed CocoCay 2 years ago in October because of a wicked cold front. A friend of mine is on your sailing @OCSC Mike. Hope y’all have good weather. Heard she got a deep cleaning on her way to PC
  20. I’m hoping 2025 is the last season. We can’t do 2024 because we already have a 13 night overseas trip (river cruise), plus Icon and Utopia for 2024. Looking at port schedules, looks like Brilliance out of Amsterdam along with celebrity eclipse and I think Silhouette. Indy out of Southhampton along with Edge Waiting impatiently for next week. Anthem still has cabins for 2024 but I just don’t think we can swing that.
  21. I’ve got 10:30 for my Allure next Monday. Her first 4 night!
  22. Geiranger: I’ve always heard it’s a “must” port but it’s only offered twice on the 7 night. Neither date works for us. Will I be super sad to miss it?
