Agreed.
Years ago we booked a private tour with one of the best tour guides in Istanbul, but it was just for the two of us. We were able to see so much more, imo. We even stopped to enjoy a very nice leisurely lunch. It was one of the highlights of our cruise.
Why? I was responding to Bo's question to you about your comments being “tongue in cheek”.
We lived in Germany for several years and visited many castles. We even participated in Medieval events on the Castle grounds. I completely understand why some would not feel comfortable with the views from the parapets.
😉 Just for the record, Reflection has 1523 cabins that can accommodate 3655 guests.
Connie has 1065 cabins that can accommodate 2556 guests.
WB TA's, imho, have always been more popular. We have sailed WB TA's 5 times more than EB.
There are a couple of reasons that come to mind.
The size difference between the 2 ships, as Reflection is larger and has more cabins.
The other issue is the direction the ships are sailing. WB TA's tend to be more popular than EB TA's.
And I'm sure pricing is a factor too.
I hope you enjoy Oceania.
A 100% refundable deposit wouldn’t be an enticement for us to book them. Their ships have always been, and still are, just too small for us.
Your cruise is 6 months away. I wonder if that is why certain venues are not showing, or it states “menus subject to change” ? 😊
If X posts the menus closer to departure it would mean fewer changes on the App (caused by possible supply chain issues) and perhaps fewer disappointments? 😉
Prepare to be “ruined”… in a good way! 😊
That's what happened to us many years ago when we booked our first X cruise on one of their brand new ships.
We've never been disappointed and we've never looked back. 😉
