I booked a Viking South America cruise in July and final payment due September 30. It is our first sailing.

We are on a Silversea  cruise from Southampton on May 18 that ends in Reykjavik on May 30. There are 3 stops pre Reykjavik and they are: Seydisfjordur, Djupivogur, and Heimay western islands. We are looking to do a 2 night extension when we get off the ship in Reykjavik the morning of May 30. Suggestions for itinerary, hotels? We would not rent a car and travel back to states the morning of June 1.

We just returned yesterday from Uniworld South of France cruise. Also, went to Paris for 3 days. My understanding was that all on trip were vaccinated plus a Covid test required, antigen or PCR within 72 hours. Some people were given antigen test before boarding if they had not gotten test earlier. 

Masks are required in public places and all employees wear them. It was a wonderful trip! Food, wine and excursions all great. Lots of precautions and were primarily outside on walking tours. You could not get into any museum without a vaccination card.

October 10 date of cruise. Cancelled cruise April 9 and received credit May 30.

We cancelled October cruise on Ovation  on April 9 and  received deposit refund on May 30.

We went Amex  credit card dispute  route on Uniworld June trip and received all monies for that trip.

For those of us that have cruises booked in the fall and not in penalty, makes one wonder whether to go ahead and cancel.

We have recently booked a 2 week cruise on the Ovation rt Athens on October 10. Much to my chagrin, Seabourn has eliminated the 2 sea days on this trip and substituted 2 very small islands. Would this be due to not wanting to spend the money for gas?

We have booked Quest Antarctica cruise in January. Can anyone give advice on insurance. Are there special requirements for evacuation etc. for Antarctica?

Has anyone sailed in a V1 stateroom on the Ovation? Looking on the deck plan, it appears smaller than other verandah staterooms. The bathrooms do not have tubs so are they smaller?

We were on Uniworld in October and thought they did a terrific job! Even numbered staterooms assure you will face the Nile when docked.

A friend of mine was on Uniworld first week in August and trip was cancelled the day before they were scheduled to depart for Europe. Basel-Amsterdam..

The CDC recommends a Hep A and Typhoid shot for travel to Egypt. Do most travelers get the vaccines?

We are booked on this cruise October 20, 2018. This is first I have heard of private dock. Book an even numbered stateroom is advice I read on reviews and your stateroom will mostly have Nile view.

Uniworld Nile gets very good reviews!

We absolutely love the Regina! The staff is wonderful! We also find the location to be excellent for easy sightseeing and restaurants.

We just returned from Quest and were assigned 703 after booking a guarantee. I was amazed at the lack of motion. We had no problem at all and I am very susceptible to motion sickness. I would not hesitate to book a guarantee again!

We have just been assigned stateroom 703 on our Quest sailing. Does anyone have any experience with this stateroom attached to suite?

Is it true that one cannot get a referral shipboard credit if Seabourn has offered shipboard credit on booking the cruise?

Crystal is a wonderful cruise line and all inclusive. You never feel like you are on a somewhat larger ship. The opening price staterooms are spacious, lots of storage and 2 sinks in the bathroom. The verandah deck goes all the way around for great walking. The food is outstanding.

We have not sailed Azamara, but Oceania and Renaissance many times. I suspect you would be quite pleased!

The Crystal Serenity is an amazing ship. We have been on Seabourne and Oceania. I would always choose Crystal in the opening stateroom. There is no caste system and simply a wonderful experience!

Is the cafe on 5 the only place to get espresso/cappuccino?

Is there anywhere on the Silhouette to get a good strong cup of coffee?

I booked the last Aqua class cabin on January 3 sailing on the Silhouette. Final payment was due at booking. After reviewing the thread on cabins, it appears cabin 1539 is VERY noisy as early as 4 am...under Aqua spa kitchen.

I have sailed with Celebrity 4 times, but it has been a long time. Constellation was new! Are there wait lists for new cabin? Any advice appreciated!

Crystal Serenity is a wonderful ship! Too bad Glacier Bay is not on the 7 night itinerary..

What about an 8:30 am flight? How early on a Monday morning??

Could you give a few hotel suggestions?
