Just returned from Pursuit having upgraded from Verandah to Suite. When calculating value for money note that speciality restaurants was $49.95 pp pn not $35 as per earlier post. 7 nights speciality dining would cost approx £250pp out of the ££325 cost of upgrade. Very pleased that we upgraded

Our upgrade invite came Jan 6 for Mar 16 cruise (10 weeks prior), acceptance came Jan29, 47 days prior.

Just had my upgrade offer , from verandah to suite Pursuit March 16 , accepted for £10 over the minimum bid. Total paid still much less than 50% of today's price. Received email, replied with my tel number and return call all settled within 60 minutes. Very pleased with outcome.

Leisurely Haugesund exursion Saturday. Another coach got stuck on the hill approaching look-out point. Our driver tried to reverse on black ice & nearside rear wheels left the road. Coach at slight angle. Had to evacuate coach and waited for replacement coach. Bl***dy freezing. Slipped on ice and some waited for fire service to ferry down the icy road. Could have been really nasty, large gap between trees on steep embankment. Poor risk assessment in my view.

It seems likely that at the very least they’ll be putting up decs on Aurora for Nov27 departure.

Well I’ll be taking my Bah humbug jumper then! Or my Goofy xmas hat. Can’t decide which.

Booked 7 days ago through TA & received upgrade offers. Made a bid but then read a poor review of deluxe balcony, the only one that was currently available, so withdrew the bid.

The important fact is that this is a downward trend. It doesn’t matter if other cruise lines are also going down. X is probably maintaining its position relative to most other lines but at a far lower absolute standard.

Thanks very much. Tried that, it's the paper & pencil edit button. 2 choices appear; category & choose cabin.

Started booking but was not offered choice of cabin. Is there a way to choose before paying deposit?

Over 50’s should look at nfop.org.uk travel insurance

If you are over 50 and your condition is stable & non-terminal then look at Nfop.org.uk travel insurance.

Booked a late select fare but didn't get any choice of cabin or dining so really annoyed. We are returning to P&O after 3 years with no cruises for 1st 2 years but other lines in the last year. At least we got some OBC which offsets some of the extra £100's. More than 3 weeks away so still showing guarantee cabin.

Personally we're moving back to Azamara

It seems that everything Celebrity are doing at the moment is like a soccer team scoring one own goal after another to give the opposition a 3 goal lead.
