It is possible that due to the party size of "9" that this is the reason for not letting them choose a time slot. We had that issue with our party of 8 before.

I just got notice that the DBP is now $39.99 (50% Diamond and Above Discount). 16 nights. I've got to say that I haven't seen that low of price in a very long time.

We are Diamond so having 4 drinks each is plenty for us. I always get the refreshment package for the specialty coffees and canned soda. However, on our March 2026 Transatlantic the soda package now has canned soda so hubby is just getting that one as he doesn't share my love for coffee

Millennials will have the phone on live when off the ship as their phone is attached

We have some good pricing for our March 2026 Transatlantic cruise to pre-book. I have pre-booked before and never had any issues whatsoever.

I am not completely sure I like the paperless either. As we all know, electronic anything can be gitchy at any given time. I always have my phone with me; however, I know there are many people that like to take a break from electronics while on vacation. I wonder if your phone is in airplane mode off the ship will you be able to get to the ticket from the app? I see this causing lots of issues....

We have been on the Harmony before and did not care for their production of Grease. We are on Harmony's transatlantic in March 2026 so I guess we will see what (if any) is the replacement.

We are planning on just walking around a bit then enjoying a less crowded ship for the day. I can't see spending that kind of money for that (use that money for go on another vacation)!

We always enjoy the 70's night! We have been on the Harmony before and they had it. We are sailing on Harmony in March 2026 (Transatlantic) so I hope they have it.

We will be on the Transatlantic cruise that is just before your cruise.

Allianz was what I had and it covered it. I didn't know anything about it but when I told me TA that we missed two ports, she is the one who told me she would take care of submitting it for me. We were in Norway in January so that may be why.

We use AAA also and for our Trip to Norway this past January, we missed 2 ports due to weather. We received $400 check in the mailed around 4 weeks after we got home. This is the first time every having to use the insurance.

We will be on this cruise also!..I have a car service scheduled to pick us up at 9:00 am and take us to our hotel. The hotel can hold your luggage until your room is available. We are staying in Barcelona for 3 nights. I may have to change our pick up time for earlier as I was just going off what normally happens. I guess I will need to investigate the disembark times a little better. I have been looking at trip advisor for excursion information. We are traveling with another couple so we haven't discussed that stuff yet (they live in Houston, TX and we live in Kentucky). We are flying to Houston on Saturday before and they are taking us to our first Rodeo.

We were in Rome July 2024 and did use our Am Ex some (Hotel, and a few nice restaurants), we took Euros too that we pre-ordered from our bank. We did have to use some coins for the restroom (some you can use your credit card). We used our Visa card mostly. I pre-booked our tours as well as our car service we used from airport to hotel, hotel to port, and port to airport. We walked A LOT! We also did two Golf Cart tours that were excellent (prepaid but we tripped in Euros).

And I REALLY appreciate it!!! I still can't believe how simple, fast, and easy it was. Usually, anything dealing with the government is the total opposite of simple

I want to thank whoever mentioned that renewing your passport on line was quick and easy. My passport was expiring in October 2025 and we fly to Europe the end of December. I went on line and had my passport back in less than 2 weeks and my hubby got his back a 7 days. To say we are extremely pleased is a understatement! I have learned so much in this group!

We were by there this past weekend and they didn't have much product ruined thankfully!

Same for me with no issues (also no diffuser)

This is what we do with our Grandkids as their parents are cruising also just in a different cabin.

We have our first TA on March 2026 from Galveston to Spain and I have been wondering about this too. I bring several things (Ginger caps, Bonine and herbal patches just in case. Hubby isn't bothered with motion but I am. We were in the North Sea in January/February and I used only the Bonine (twice daily the entire trip from Norway to London and handled the few days that were on the rough side good. I too am hoping for calm sailing in March but will be armed with all I can for te unknown...

We have used Welcome Pickups and they were excellent. We had friends that used them on their cruise. We used them for the airport to our hotel, hotel to port, and port back to airport. I highly recommend them. They picked us up in a Black Suburban (big enough for three of us (one being a teenager so lots of luggage). Very prompt and reasonable priced.

We like to prepay gratuities also. We do give additional cash in hand to our room steward, wait staff in the main dining room, and when we use our Diamond drink vouchers. We usually find a bartender that we like and stick with that one then we have never been disappointed with service or drinks. We consider the extra "tip" money as part of our vacation expense and plan accordingly. We have found that a little appreciation goes a long way in making our vacation even better. We always use the set time for dining to have the same table and wait staff as we like the extra personal service we get.

In July 2024, we used Welcome Pickups (suggested from friends that used them the year before). They were wonderful! We used them from the Rome airport to our hotel, hotel to Port, and Port back to airport. Nice big SUV with plenty of room for our luggage and the service was excellent and very professional.

We were on her in the summer of 1995

Our first cruise was on the Majesty OTS.
