I think the real benefit of Choice Air is when things go very wrong. For example we are booked on an itinerary that was to end in Istanbul, now changed to Athens. Those booked through Choice Air have been able to change their flights to be out of the new port and, it would appear from these boards, that this has been done relatively easily and at no extra cost. For those that haven't used Choice Air, me included, we will receive some compensation towards the airline change fee, BUT we have to cover the difference between the airfares. For us that was over US$500 pp as Athens departures was much more expensive.

Obviously this is an exceptional circumstance and with you arriving a couple of days before your cruise then you have time for a backup plan if something goes wrong. Choice Air give you the benefit of any hiccups not costing you extra (it would appear) and giving some peace of mind.

Spotted this in a USA Today report. Wonder if the same applies to flights AFTER the cruise?

"Celebrity said passengers on the sailings who booked flights to Istanbul through the line will be rebooked on flights to Piraeus at no cost. Passengers who have flights to Istanbul that were not booked by the line will be reimbursed for any airline change fees up to $250."

By the pool on Summit I recall as well.

Best Wings I've come across were on Norwegian in Blue Lagoon

if !

I notice a lot of people asking what drinks are on the classic package yet a copy of the package was in the very first post!

A copy is above. And yes there is Bombay Sapphire. As well as a list of beers....

Have to agree with bogofman as this is a UK problem only (poss EU and Aus/NZ as well) as we don't have the advantage of the US system of if lower pricing you can simply get the new pricing/perks

 

Don't give me all the usual EU/UK protection stuff either as this is completely undermined compared to the rip off of future pricing offered in the UK

Hi Barneymag

 

Can confirm we don't have that problem from NZ, as we use (or at least I do) a US agent. Latest OV booked at US$1449 has dropped several times and now down to US$1069, with free drinks, grats and $300 OBC. Lost a small OBC along the drops but with free drinks who needs it?

 

Perhaps they fill up with as many British at high prices and then drop rates for the rest of the world :D...sorry, couldn't help it.

We sailed on the Summit last year (same configuration I think) and were in room 2200 with friends in 2176. Both rooms very quiet despite 2200 being next to crew door. In fact we have booked on Connie in October and went for 2200 again because it was so quiet and convenient to stair/lifts.

Enjoy your cruise...

2013 - Oct 9th Norwegian Epic then Oct 19th Norwegian Jade....getting exciting!
