My late husband’s cruises were all there but they didn’t add correctly.

If no one is taking specialty reservations when you embark, I would go to the closest speciality restaurant and a make a reservation. Sometimes someone is outside the ocean view making reservations. I would not go to the retreat and lineup with others to speak to concierge first thing.

Same on Beyond early last year.

I would take the Sunset Veranda because I love the wake view.

Same experience on Beyond in the Caribbean last winter. The bars were extremely rowdy during the Elite Happy Hour every night before dinner. We gave up on the Martini Bar because there were too many people downstairs and IF we found seats, it took a long time to get drinks. My husband used a large complicated walker and we could not manage the tiered seats. We ended up in the retreat.

Norwaylady, thank you for taking us along on your vacation. I love your reviews. Safe travels home for you and the Mr.

Just to clarify Jelayne’s post, drinks in Luminae ARE NOT complimentary.

Joana is amazing if she is the same Joana on the Solstice in Sep/Oct 2022.

Go to the Celebrity website and click offers on the menu across the top of the page. Exciting Deals is on the drop-down. I am logged in and I don’t know if that makes a difference.

It wasn’t on Beyond. Occasionally we hear voices or tinkling of silverware but it was low level.

We used to take magnets with hooks and I’d hang my light weight clothes in the main cabin to dry. I always asked for extra towels. I did it from Vancouver/Hawaii/Sydney on the Solstice and from Seattle to Sydney on Explorer of the Seas. The Explorer cruise was a side by side to a Solstice NZ cruise.

Jim, we loved Oceania and found it a good fit. I thought Oceania cruisers might be stuffy but almost all of them graduated from Celebrity, Princess, and/or Holland America. They were interested in our cruise experiences and specifically why we wanted to try Oceania.

Amen to that Linda! Carolyn

I thought they had fountain sodas at Al Bacio.
