Wow...I wonder if that was in order to get some lobster onboard....somewhat of a dramatic step, or should that be plunge!

Your theory falls apart with a crash, given that the additional components between Plus and Premier are NOT individually priced! 😉

Indeed and, for us at least, that reason is we can cruise twice as often! 😉 Each to their own.

When in Rome, or Civitavecchia, do as.......

But, you wouldn't be trapped in the cabin....explore the ship, find a favourite spot to watch the ocean etc. Personally, wouldn't hesitate! 😉

It's only 30km by road, presumably less by sea. But, who knows how long it takes to cast the ropes and start drifting from the dock. Or how long it will take to berth and tie up in Valetta.

Despite my previous post, this one does have merit....still wouldn't be our first choice, but definitely credible!

It offers little which would float our boat...pun intentional...certainly not your typical GB itinerary that's for sure! Land tour sounds much better than such itinerary, for us at least.

🤔 But, you posted: 'Now I've gone to do it, they are saying that it's the difference between the half price and the premier price' And most contributions are agreeing that if you do it online it's the difference between your 50% off plus and full price premier! That's why I posted my comment, it will cost less on board even without BLC....what is that??

What's the big deal then, just wait until you board and do the upgrade transaction! 😉

Absolutely correct, the water definitely was alcohol free. The resultant wine was not! 😉

We have done this on a handful of occasions, most recently twice in Barbados a few months ago! We had to go 'out of the port' through immigration, and for our first ship transfer from Azamara to Windstar we sat in the covered outside waiting area with luggage for a couple of hours before checking in. Returning from that cruise, we boarded Emerald Azzurra same day. Because that ship was closest to the cruise terminal, literally a 30 second walk, after 'exiting' through immigration I wandered over to the ship. Encountering the most pleasant Hotel Director on the dock he agreed to take on board our luggage. That left us free, and totally unhindered with luggage, to explore Bridgetown for a couple of hours before embarkation. What you suggest will work perfectly in Civitavecchia, and you may find that Cunard (especially for QG class) will take your luggage immediately on your Seabourn drop off at the Cunard dock. Best wishes, I am sure your plan is sound.

Perhaps mainstream cruising is not for you! 😉

You may wish to revisit the date shown in your thread title! 😉

What do you mean by 'scotch'....if you are thinking of single malt whisky, neither Chivas 18 yo or JW are such!
