^^^ this is what I thought and what I understood from our previous experience in RS. I don’t think the wholesaler is providing good advice to our agent.

For instance, when I go here https://www.celebritycruises.com/int/things-to-do-onboard/staterooms/suite-class

and click on the "view offer" it says "this page no longer exists."

Have they done away with those offers for suites?

Hmmm Chemmo that is what I hoped but I just did a trial booking and it seems to show only the suite. No mention of the specialities etc. Perhaps we need to wait for some kind of deal? The departure I was looking at is November 2019.

Hi all quick qu re positioning cruise Rome - Abu Dhabi

Are the deals for RS likely to be different to normal

Eg are beverage pkges, internet and gratuities be likely to be included with the suite ?

Seems it may be classed similarly to

a TA?

Cheers and thanks

Wow, that is wonderful! We cancelled a booking on another cruise line because we love Lumanie! How was Michael's Club on Infinity?

Super friendly and helpful staff . We didn’t spend too much time there but it is certainly a haven to enjoy a quiet catch up

Sailing South, desert is on port side. Starboard sailing North.

Ooops I should have read the whole thread.

Going through the canal was fabulous, I thought there was much more to see than the Panama canal and quite a different experience because there are no locks.

The cultivated land and towns are all on one side for most of the way, the other side is just empty dessert.

thanks for your excellent review Julie. I note you refer to the cultivated land and towns on one side .. which side is that? We are also looking at Rome - Abu Dhabi direction so would like to be on the "best" side if possible

It’s a daily (or sometimes sea day) quiz where those points count for a series victory :-)

Progressive trivia was definitely still

a thing on Infinity in January. A lot of fun and a way to meet new people as my husband doesn’t play and I teamed up with new folks.

We’ve just had 6140 and it was wonderful. Enjoy !

We recently celebrated our 25th wedding anniversary and were delighted by this creation of “kissing swans” when we returned to the stateroom, and the sea of rose petals!

The blue zippered bag the OP referred to has gone the way of the leatherette card case. The new bag which the OP recieved has replaced the zippered bag. We are in a suite and received the new bag on both legs of this B2B.

We received this bag in an Infinity RS recently. Much preferred the other, which also had the little one inside

I’ve just seen those as well, what a fantastic trip it appears to be. We were on the Infinity dep San Antonio Jan 7 and it was one of the best ever.

This is interesting. We just booked a Connie cruise for Feb 19. Hoping it all goes to plan.

If it is not too late, I strongly suggest that you stay away from Infinity. Just completed a 14-day South America & Antartica cruise and the ship is showing it's age. Lots of problems too with toilet vacuum system. However, their maintenance crew do a good job is fixing the problems quickly. Overall, Dining and Stateroom crew were great. I can't say the same for the officers.

I know that feelings about your cruise are running high however as posted above , we were on the journey immediately prior to yours and it was great. We loved the Infinity and her crew, officers were great and v friendly,

Just had a GREAT trip on Infinity Chile to Buenos Aires. The one where the propulsion issue surfaced. It was one of the happiest cruises I’ve been in, and as a result we are booked for 2 more in M class, including one on Infinity. Enjoy!

Overall, our whole family enjoyed the cruise (8 of us across 3 generations), and really liked the Constellation. We have already booked for Jan 2019 on her, out of Singapore to Shanghai.

Fantastic news! We are recently off Infinity and now booked on Connie, cruise after yours, feb 3 to Singapore. Can’t wait!

I'm not sure if the youtube videos really do him justice but I accept that PG can be an acquired taste. The first time, I went by myself to listen to and laugh AT this person I'd read all about on CC. I went back to the cabin in tears of laughter WITH him. Took my husband back the following evening, and we were in Michael's Club every night after. Those were the days.

He even sang "Tenterfield Saddler" and "I still call Australia home" for me ... and I'm from New Zealand.

Grand Central consistently showing as full, booked Radisson Blu New World - thanks for advice!

Early Feb. 2019 ... hmmm, well - Feb. 9 (Thursday) is the Lunar Chinese New Year's Day - a week-long + national holidays. Getting around - transportation is going to be challenging but for upscale hotel stays, not sure if it's affecting availability (IMHO, unlikely but I shall stand corrected) ... where a sizable segment of the country's working population take part in this annual migratory movement, jamming up airports, trains, buses & hitting the roads, ferries, etc.

Is 1 - 3 Feb. Will give it a go tonight, I was only looking on my phone the other day :-)

do the hotels in Shanghai book out early? I just tried Grand Central online for early Feb next year and it said unavailable? I hope I was looking at the official website ...
