Saw this on Norwegian Cruise Line thread. Restart dates for all NCL ships

Don't know if this is true or false ?? 

But anyway, hope Royal Caribbean and Celebrity Cruises will give dates of cancelled cruises

sooner than later, so we are not booking flights, hotels, etc... 

Found some useful information here : cruise tips

Had no idea you get a free cabin when cruising with a large group.

The large ships can't be accomodated in some of the ports.

Yes that's true in some of the smaller ports, but the larger ships can dock definitely in for example Labadee, Nassau, CocoCay and I think also Grand Turk.

As much as I love to sail with Celebrity, I would love to see

more variety in itineraries.

Sailed on Eclipse Nov 2015 Southern Caribbean 14 nights.

Eclipse is still doing the same itinerary Nov 16, March 17, Nov 17, March 18

Same story with other S class ships in the Caribbean.

Would love to stop for example in Grand Turk, Nassau Bahamas, CocoCay (Royal Caribbean private island), Labadee Haiti, Tortola, Dom. Republic, etc.

If they adjust even some ports, I would be more inclined to book

another cruise.

What are your thoughts ?

Can you also let us know who the maidtre and assistant maitre is in the BLU restaurant at the moment. We are boarding Equinox next week, Thanks

Sailed on the March 20th Riviera Cruise which was affected by the norovirus.

We had a good cruise and did not become ill and will sail Oceania again but a Code Red experience is very unpleasant.

It was not an Oceania cruise like others;

- Elegance and luxuries we paid for were pretty much absent.

- Missed Aruba (port fees ??)

- Laundry + ironing facility closed

- Library closed

- Artist Loft closed

- Culinary School closed

- No Gourmet Canapés when having a drink

- No towels in restrooms (only paper tissues)

- Wait for silverware, ask for salt and pepper, sugar, ... which tremendously slowed time

- Wait for tables to be cleaned

- Constant dripping disinfectant on walls, chairs, tables

- Almost no bar service around the pool (deck 14)

- Staff being overworked

- etc...

For the money we payed we expected more. It was not so luxurious as it should be.

Should we ask for a discount for this cruise ?

Refund ?

Future cruise credit ?

What are your thoughts ?
