Just for a little context on the distances. The video posted earlier from a tv station showed the ship’s track, this is from a screenshot of it. This is from the Geospace app. It shows that the outcropping at the bottom is about 550 feet wide at the widest.

We were able to get distilled water at all of the Princess Lodges we stayed at. If I remember right it came in glasses with Saran Wrap over the top.

I’m not quite clear, if your cabin wasn’t yet assigned why did you want to move? And if GTY was the only class available what non-GTY cabin were you expecting to move to?

For some perspective in the other direction, there’s a Celebrity vs Princess thread on the Celebrity board. Celebrity vs Princess

It seems unlikely that the ten minutes would make a difference in your ability to make your flight. I was able to book it without having entered any flight information, hopefully that won’t cause problems later. I just figured that if i wasn’t using Princess Air, flight time wouldn’t matter to them. The wording in the tour description is a little funny, though, I’m not sure what they’re trying to say. Passengers with Princess Air should book a customized air flight ticket to be sure they can participate on a tour the day of disembarkation. Passengers without a customized air flight may not be booked on a flight which will permit them to participate on a tour on the day of disembarkation.

If a lot of Retreat cabins were sold as GTY, and the actual rooms were not yet assigned, it would look like a lot of availability for MoveUp’s because the rooms appeared unsold, when in fact there was not much availability.

If the price is the same, I’d go for the Aqua guarantee and hope for the best on location. Having breakfasts and dinners in Blu makes it a whole different experience than a Veranda cabin.

I imagine there are similar cruises with a $10,000 per cabin difference, but I’ve never seen one, and I think it’s more the exception than the rule. Of course, unlike with you, we’re pretty flexible and I compare the best pricing I can find with the best pricing I can find.

I don’t think they’ve announced it, but Silversea’s first level over its initial level is 100 days. That would put it in the D/D+, E/E+ area.

That’s quite a big difference, I’ve never found it that large when comparing suite to suite and remember that the SS price is out the door, so to speak. No adding of taxes, port fees, gratuities. Also, you have to compare to the SS port to port pricing or else add airfare, etc. to the Celebrity price.

I think the OP made it up.

Yes, I neglected to mention I was talking about getting a refund. Mea Culpa.

Thanks.

I’m glad that worked out for you, but it’s not the same as getting a refund, and doesn’t work out for everyone.

Princess Platinum is not a cancel for any reason plan. You may need a letter from the physician that she’s unable to travel. You do see people cruising in casts, etc.
