  1. Ship - Carnival Breeze Deck - 6 Stateroom # - 6403 Stateroom Category – Balcony Starboard or Port Side - Starboard Quiet Stateroom? (With comments on problems) – Yes Was stateroom a connecting stateroom? - No Balcony View - Give comments on view, noting if location of any obstructions was an issue. – Not really an unobstructed view, given that deck 5 is further out. Also, people would smoke on deck 5, even though that was not the side allowed. Guys Pig restaurant is to the right below this balcony, and you had a strong bbq smell during lunch hours. Balcony Size? Normal or oversized for class? - Normal Was wind a problem? - No If an aft cabin, was soot a problem? - No Any specific problems with this cabin? - Balcony door didn't latch closed. Needed to throw the bolt. Light in cabin and above sink were burned out. Balcony was dirty!
  2. That's great information! Thank you!!
  3. @kazu @pattypawz Just booked the Banks. Decided to do the non-refundable rate as it was significantly less expensive. My TA did our insurance so it's covered if we don't go. Final payment on our cruise (Royal Caribbean Jewel of the Seas) is due March 13, so we'll just add that cost into this policy. Thanks again for all of your help with making this decision. Can't wait to try the Banks Mansion for ourselves!
  4. I usually do all my booking far in advance as well, but this cruise just snuck up on me. We did a 27 day back to back in October that consumed my planning for most of 2023, and I’m only now really starting to plan our cruise on Jewel of the Seas in June 2024 and finding I’m having to spend way more for an Amsterdam hotel and airfare than I’d expected. My travel agent (who is my sister ) is going to get our travel insurance in place before we book the non-refundable rate so that if anything changes and we need to cancel we will be covered. Thanks for all the information!!
  5. Thanks so much for the response Jacqui!! Just have to decide whether to bite the bullet and pay now or wait a bit.
  6. Hi Jacqui, We are thinking of staying at the Banks in June and can't decide between the comfy room and the one with a canal view. What was your view from your comfy room, and did you find it noisy at all? Thanks in advance!!
  7. We will be in Liverpool in June on Jewel of the Seas. Way back in post 336 @Towncar T recommended a walking tour of the city. Tom, any ideas that are different to those you mentioned in that post? I love the idea of seeing the city without a tour. We're not Beatle fanatics, so I thought something more city oriented would be more our speed. Thanks in advance!
  8. Has anyone stayed at Charme 308? We've booked it for our pre-cruise stay in October.
  9. We just got off the Radiance 10 night and it was amazing! We had the UDP and loved it. We made a list of all the dates and times we wanted and headed to Chops for lunch when we got on and had the maitre d there make all our reservations. Any changes you want to make you can do in the app once you’re sailing. We ate in Chops three nights and two lunches (ask for Linda and tell her Lisa and Steve say hi!), Giovanni’s four nights(Dorian and Christian are great waiters) and two lunches, Samba grill twice and Izumi once for dinner and once for lunch. We loved the UDP and even with just a few restaurants to alternate, we weren’t tired of any.
  10. Update on Via Zara. I messaged them through their Facebook page and received responses. Apparently they are no longer self service, however they are open from 9-6.
  11. We booked Charme 308 for 3 nights prior to our back to back in October. @cruisemom42would you have any knowledge of this hotel? It looks to be in a good location for all the things we would like to do. I'd be interested in any info anyone has! Thanks in advance!
  12. Does anyone know if this place still exists? We are doing a back to back in October, 12 nights and then a 15 night transatlantic. We do get free laundry on the ship, but we will need to wash some other items that we don't want to send to the ship's laundry. We thought we could go here on the turn around day. Any info on whether it is still there would be appreciated!
