I now sent a message to M Bayley. We will see if he responds.

No I did not. But think I will. Even though the canceled cruise was last year. Just to let him know that really is not very fair. Thanks

Also, I found out the hard way. I reached Pinnacle 18 months ago. I booked my free cruise and had to cancel (due to unavoidable circumstances) You cannot rebook a free Pinnacle cruise, so I lost it completely. I am still not happy about this as worked many many years getting to Pinnacle. My TA and I have both tried to rebook it and was told no.

The entertainers for the shows practice in Florida. Usually, as I understand, 2-3 months. So I doubt they would change the show on a transatlantic coming back to US.

That would be nice if they went to Europe

I just got off Icon. Thought Wizard of Oz was fantastic! The elevator system is the best ever! And ship never felt crowded. I want all my cruises to be on Icon!

I wish it would go to Europe but personally do not think it will for few years. Time will tell I guess.

The Icon is not Oasis class. I just went on Icon and it fabulous. Even though it had 7,500 people on it, it was the least crowded ship I have ever been on. The new elevator system is the best thing ever! Now I only want to go on this ship! And looking into changing my next cruises to Icon

I have taken shuttle between Venice and Ravenna, only a little over an hour.

I took the cruise shuttle between Venice and Ravenna and was only a little over an hour.

Can you still bring the Cube? Which has USB outlets and international adapters.

I always leave used or unused pool towels in the room on the last day. And usually if room attendant takes wet towels replaces with new dry ones. Never been charged for towels in the 40 years of cruising.

Sometimes I get pool towels soon in the cruise and keep them in my cabin. So that when I do want to go to pool I have them. I also have been to towel stations and they are out or closed and you have to walk a long ways to another towel station. Just go get several towels on day 1 and you are set.

This is true. I actually will also be celebrating my birthday on Icon next month and will not be able to use my free drink either.

I have given bottles of wine or champagne to employees and they take it to crew bar. But lately I just give it so some passenger. Recently we had a bottle that had the name Michelle on it. Randomly gave to a couple walking down hall in front of our room. Her name happened to be Michelle and it was her birthday. She was so happy.

Also there is a fee for this service.

The ship Valet services are great. Have used it several times. But only offered with some ports, and only certain airlines. And also not all ships. You need to probably see if available at that port and the airline you are traveling on. I know Delta is one airline that has allowed that service from ports. As I always fly Delta. And Miami usually has it. I do not think it has fully come back since Covid though. And if I remember correctly you need to have a flight leaving airport between certain time frames. If it is available you will get a flyer with the information in your cabin. Or ask at Guest Services. Good Luck

The best deal is to book cruises as soon as they come available to book. Like 18-24 months ahead. I book all my cruise pretty much as soon as available. Get some fantastic deals especially on Jr or Grand suites.

I also would not fly across the ocean for like 12 hours and do a short cruise. In fact I am in the US and will pretty much only do 14 days, I usually do B2B. I live in Idaho so East Coast is still a ways to fly and change plane once or twice.

If your phone or app still doesn't work you can just go to your muster station and they will check you in and tell you anything you need to know. Takes like 2 minutes. Or you can do it on the TV in your cabin

I have been told I can only use 2 vouchers at a time. Or wait a few minutes between using them. No a problem with me though.

If you are being refused coverage than the cruise ship insurance should be covering it. And yes, always get a printed receipt, from information desk if you don't have. Or I always take pictures of my receipt on the TV. Just in case. Good Luck

You cannot book yourself on website for over 4 people. Contact a travel agent is your best bet. Or, as stated above, get connecting rooms.

I have used this service many times and love it. After pandemic it has slowly started up again. But the service is only with certain airlines and ports. I fly Delta and that was an airline that I could use it with. And out of Miami mostly. They will notify you in your cabin if available.
