I usually look at the temps from last year for the same time frame it is a good indication of what it may be this year
but of course it could go either way
Layers is the key
You can just change the ports you are sailing from/to

Compare the prices/options on getting to Vancouver then decide
Rent a car /parking for the length of the cruise
Take the bust from Seattle to Vancouver
How much of your time is it worth to do all the extra travelling
For me I would fly to YVR or find a cruise out of Seattle

Might just be too early
This year they have the Molino & the St Regis
Prices are PP so take that into account
You probably can do better on your own

Check the website for you sailing & under the HOTEL tab it shows what hotels they use pre & post cruise
It may be too early to see the hotels but you can check cruise this year for Venice to see what ones they use
I believe it is usually the Molino Stucky
They usually have a transfer to the airport so you could book your own hotel in Venice proper & take a water taxi or the land but from the airport
I posted this in another thread but it may need it's own thread
Just noticed they have changed some of the cancellation penalties as of April 2023
note the part I highlighted in red for less that 15 day cruises
Also the time limit has changed
Time to re read the new fine print 😲

Maybe they have reservations because the space is small ??
How many seats are in Ember
can you imagine if it was like your local diner & if people want a sit down meal after tours it may be lined up down the hall or maybe not ??
I will reserve judgement until I try it but so far it looks good to me
We do not go to Jacques or Red Ginger so does not leave many options for us polo & Toscana are the same old same old
looking forward to trying Ember
YMMV
The admin fee has not been available to transfer to new booking for a while

Just about any wine by the glass on the menu is in both drink packages
There are bar menus posted in this thread
https://boards.cruisecritic.com/topic/2904150-riviera-new-bar-drinks-menus-and-prices/
Subject to availability of course
I thought they were allowing people to fly in up to 3 days prior with no charge ? unless you want to choose the flights
But yes I agree not enough info
If you have a GTY you will be on the ship someplace
If all PH sellout they will make offers to pax to move off the sailing
They may offer upsells to the suites or downsells if lower categories are still open
If people are going to cancel they should do it a month before final payment so they do not lose their deposit (not everyone reads the fine print )
You do not need to take the new perk that is coming July 1st unless you want to
