Try to Roll Call thread for your sailing or other sailing calling into that port.

Welcome to CC. Use a site like cruisedeckplans to get info like that - look on any Q class ship - they should be the same. Obstruction is quite subjective.

The reduced deposit only applies to "regular" cabins - the deposit rules for suites changed earlier this year.

That's as subjective as the food in the MDR.

You should have two US style and one European style outlets. The US plugs are flush while the European ones are recessed.

In case you didn't see it in another thread, we know where/when the ship will be based on a crew member joining the ship: "Not sure exactly when the TA will be, but I join the ship Dec 19 in Cadiz."

No issue.

Leave it - that is very good timing for a flight - assuming you are talking about EWR.

Anything you could get with the drink package will be covered by the D drinks - think of it as a 4-drink package. Prices are listed in the app under bars.

It does have some real customer provided photos/video as well for a few cabins and based on those and the alternating nature of the bed location, one can figure it out for other cabins.

Yes.

Can you say when that is?

Welcome to CC. Assuming the ship you will be on is currently sailing a similar itinerary, look at the current sailing (not yours) and look at the daily menus in the app and assume they will be the same on your sailing.

That option seems to have gone away - there were reports of that pre-COVID, but none recently.

Not late - don't expect much before the end of the year - follow the 2025-2026 deployment thread for info.

@orville99 might have some feedback.

The majority of things sold by RCI have dynamic pricing and as much as it may look high to you, some may buy at the price.

Welcome to CC. That is normal. You can add them to the app once you connect to the ship wifi.

This can get your started:

Maybe something a bit smaller: Fincantieri, RINA and newcleo – a nuclear technology company developing Generation IV reactors using nuclear waste as fuel – signed an agreement to explore nuclear propulsion as an alternative to fossil fuels. The companies plan to perform a feasibility study for nuclear applications in shipping, including newcleo’s lead-cooled small modular reactors (SMR) technology. Safeguarding marine life The focus of the study is currently on the naval industry: The deployment of newcleo’s lead-cooled fast reactor for naval propulsion would involve placing a closed mini reactor on vessels as a small nuclear battery producing a 30MW electric output. This would require refueling only once every 10-15 years, very limited maintenance and easy replacement at end of life. Using nuclear power on ships would safeguard the marine ecosystem in the event of an accident, according to Fincantieri. With newcleo’s design the liquid lead inside the reactor would solidify as it cools down in contact with the cold water, enclosing the reactor core in a solid casing, and containing all radiation due to the shielding properties of lead. ‘Huge potential’ Pierroberto Folgiero, CEO and GM of Fincantieri, said, ‘Today Fincantieri reaffirms its vocation to be a pioneer and catalyst for progress in the maritime sector with cutting-edge, efficient and sustainable technologies. Indeed, the agreement allows us to explore the possibility of adding a new and visionary solution among those at our disposal to achieve the ambitious decarbonisation goals the industry has set for itself.’ He continued, ‘Nuclear power holds enormous potential and, as such, it needs the best expertise to be expressed, and we are proud to join with partners like newcleo and Rina to help get this done.’ One answer to decarbonizing the industry Ugo Salerno, chairman and CEO of RINA, added, ‘The improvement of fuel efficiency and vessel design is already giving good results in reducing shipping footprint. But, in order to reach the targets fixed for this industry, we need alternative fuels with low carbon content from well to waste. Nuclear will be one of the answers to these objectives. In addition, small modular reactors will be the most efficient solution to apply nuclear to shipping.’ Salerno continued, ‘We are proud to cooperate with newcleo and Fincantieri in order to make feasible, as soon as possible, the implementation of SMRs on vessels.’ Newcleo Chairman and CEO Stefano Buono said he looks forward to the results of the feasibility study and the next steps of the project.

Yes.

Likely, yes, as well as it could become available to book before the cruise as well.

The show in 270 should become available to book in the planner in early Sep.

There are no restrictions on where one can book directly from the Aussie market - other markets also have the port fee built into the fare. Here's something in their contract which other markets usually don't have: After your booking is confirmed but before full payment is received, we will only increase the price if there is an increase in the cost of any transport included in the price and/or in any dues, taxes or fees payable for any services (for example, port taxes or charges of any sort). We will not ask you to pay more within 30 days of departure. In addition, we will pay the first part of any such increase(s) in costs up to a total amount equivalent to 2% of the cost of your confirmed cruise (excluding any insurance premiums and amendment charges). Only if any such increase(s) exceeds this 2% will we ask you to pay more. If any additional amount we ask you to pay is greater than 10% of the total cost of your confirmed cruise (excluding any insurance premiums or amendment charges), you will be entitled to cancel your booking.
