We also received an email saying we have a ship change for our Sept 3rd sailing on the Danube.  Originally supposed to be Imagery ii now Artistry ii.  

I too am happy to see our Sept 3rd Danube cruise listed as going.  I checked yesterday and there are only 21 cabins filled.  Fingers crossed it still goes.

We have an Avalon cruise booked in early September on the Danube.  Can’t wait

Thanks for the feedback.  On our only river experience we did not even open one suitcase.  Much different than an ocean cruise.

We were on one river cruise a couple of years ago.  On that river cruise it was very casual for dinner, jeans and maybe long sleeve shirt.  Is this typical for river cruises or just a casual crowd on that sailing.

Thanks

Our TA just put a balcony cabin on hold for us for Panama Canal Feb 1 2021.  Approximately $2500 per couple less than Jan 2022.

I know Allure was set to be amplified March 2020.  Can’t seem to find if it happened or not.  Any info would be appreciated.

Dennis

Thanks for the responses.  We don’t believe the extra cost would be worth the cost.

Considering a cruise to Alaska, surf internet is included.  What is the cost to upgrade to stream internet?  Thanks for any info.

Our travel agent set us up for Select dining with a 6:00 reservation each night.  She linked 3 reservations together.

Thanks for the info

Does Celebrity allow reservations with anytime dining?  We are signed up for Alaska cruise, early dining is full and 8:30 is too late for our group to eat.  Princess and NCL take reservations for times during anytime dining.

Thanks for any info.

Dennis

Thanks so much for the info.  I think we may do the upper because we can do an add on for Prague and Berlin.

We want to do a Danube River Cruise in 2021 but not sure on where.  Did a Rhine River Cruise and loved it.  Is lower or upper more scenic?  Looking forward to hearing input from everyone.

As others have said Freedom will sail from Pan American pier.  We have sailed from San Juan 4 times.  We try to stay in Condado beach area because one of our favorite restaurants is there, Oceano.  Outdoor dining on the beach.  It is expensive but we feel we are on vacation so it doesn’t matter.

We will cruise with Princess, hopefully next year. Booked for Panama Canal for end of February and Baltic in August. 

On Princess website there is a safety outline for future cruises.

From info I read on different cruise lines threads they all are pretty slow in refunding money.

Dennis

When I called at the 90 day mark the representative told me the status of my refund was “in process “ .  She said if it has that status it shouldn’t be too much longer.  It was refunded 3 days later.  Hope you receive yours soon!!!

Received our full refund today, only 93 days from when Princess cancelled the trip 😉.  Funny thing is I called Princess on day 90 and just 3 days later I have the refund.  Big coincidence.

Dennis

I found this interesting, so I wanted to look into it.  We were booked on Sky Princess for August 13,2020 to the Baltic.  When we book the trip in February 2019 we paid $8100 for a deluxe balcony.  I checked for August 2021 and the same cabin was quoted at $7190, trip insurance would.  Maybe it depends on date and itinerary.

Dennis

Another vote for Hotel Jazz.  We stayed there a couple of years ago after our Med cruise.  Really good location.

Our Baltic cruise for August was cancelled yesterday, our TA said refunds should take approximately 90 days.  So we will see.

Dennis

We received our email last night concerning our Baltic cruise on Sky in August being cancelled.  So sad but in all reality would we feel safe being on the ship without a vaccine or treatment available. 

Dennis

Maybe two tables, one for 8 and one for 4.  We have 8 adults and 4 grandkids ranging from 13-17.  The kids probably enjoy sitting on their own.

Thanks, I will definitely have our travel agent do that.  I thought the max might be 10.

We are a family of 12 and planning a cruise on the Harmony in 2021.  Are there areas where the 12 of us can sit together.
