That's just selfie-videos in action. I would consider that LESS strange on a cruise than in everyday life.

Unless there are two of you.

Exactly the problem we encountered with one of two staterooms from May. At least you had your money in 78 days - we're at 236 and counting.

Theoretically. Part of the money from our cancelled May cruise is still outstanding, despite multiple calls to get it corrected. Refund request was made April 12. We are just a week away from it being 8 months when the promised timing was originally 30 days (since extended to 45 days). BTW - that 30-45 days is not calendar days - it's business days, so 6-9 weeks is the theoretical timing not 4-6 weeks.

Cancellations always come after they have the money in THEIR account. Then the refund process takes 30-45 days from the time a refund is requested (in theory - my reality is that we still don't have part of the refund money from a cancelled May cruise with an April request for refund).

Longer cruises with a stop at a remote Russian outpost?

I would love to have some of those options on a regular basis, especially the breakfast bowl. Of course, I'd get that with a triple side of bacon. ?

Now that December has arrived: How is Christmas like a defective alphabet? No L

With the time required to get to Europe (and back) from the US, a longer trip makes sense and a B2B is a good way to accomplish that. Just because the cruises are port intensive doesn't mean you have to do something specific in every port (says the guy who DOES do something in every port).

Each dinner on the cruise is approximately equal in calories to those consumed for Thanksgiving dinner. Total for the day on the cruise exceeds total for the day on Thanksgiving.

Seems to be all good now for us.

Yes it does. When you confirm the cancellation and the screen refreshes, you'll see the OBC amount at the top change immediately.

Chrome, Edge, and good old fashioned IE all have the issue for me. Maybe Safari is the way to go right now.

All was well earlier this morning. Just checked again and I see the same result reported by @DunkelBierJay now.

The only cruise planner item that improved on a cruise my wife has booked with friends was the Classic Soda Package - down to $6.49 plus gratuity per day from best previous of $7.99 plus gratuity per day and $8.99 plus gratuity regular price. At least the $1.77 per day adds up to cover one full price adult beverage per person.

Just checked everything for my wife's cruise with friends. NO shore excursions were better prices than already purchased (7 different excursions). In fact, one was MORE expensive than has been seen at any other time. Classic soda package (originally $8.99 per day plus gratuity, previously purchased at $7.99 per day plus gratuity) was available for $6.49 per day plus gratuity. That's 28% off the original and almost 19% off best previous.

"Sale" doesn't mean your price will go down, just that the price showing is xx% lower than the new phantom price.

Who needs a VIP lounge? Just get me on the ship and let the vacation begin!

Difference in current pricing could also be related to number of available cabins on the comparable cruises on similar dates.

Unless you specifically request that it be left as a "bed" at all times, your cabin steward will convert it back and forth each day.

My wife and two friends are booked on Explorer for a 12-night Miami to Galveston repositioning. No cruise planner cancellation email and it's still in her future cruises list. Clearly not a universal experience (at least not yet).

Why was the man fired from the calendar factory? For taking a day off.

Third National Bank and Fifth National Bank merged in 1908. Anecdotally, Fifth Third was chosen over Third Fifth because of the temperance movement.

My gut would be to leave it alone until they bring it up again. Then you can start into the "if you're THAT concerned about the spread of the virus, why are we together this weekend?" approach. Call out the hypocrisy of over-the-top virus concerns vs. gathering as a group in confined spaces just because it's a family tradition. ***Point of fact - I tend to be a pot-stirrer when provoked, so YMMV.***
