(Searched and can’t find an answer) Thanks.

And I meant the dining BOGO

(Searched and can’t find an answer) Thanks.

Wow !!!! Amazing !! Thanks for sharing those.

Thanks !!!!!. We’ve decided to book the 3 day before the 8/29 sailing just to avoid the potential for craziness - at least, NASA and traffic/crowding craziness. My dream - book a cruise to avoid gridlock lol.

Chops for breakfast?

Sailing on the IN on 8/29/22 and just learned that the maiden launch of the Artemis I rocket is scheduled for that morning around 8:30am. A quote from a group post, "this is the most powerful rocket ever launched in space flight history", so I'm thinking this will be very popular. (I wondered why all the hotel rooms for 8/28 were gone) Question - what are we looking at in terms of driving into the Port area that morning (besides 5 ships in)? Roads? Blockages? Crazy congestion? Should we consider staying in Cocoa Beach on the 28th? We live on the west coast of Florida and we know bridge and highway congestion just from spring break - can't image what this could mean. Could someone please offer advice? Thanks.

Possibly a stupid question - if there is a taxi strike in Italy/Rome, are these vehicles included in the strike or considered private hires or something? Would I be better off booking transfers through our hotel for a car service? Thanks. Linda

Oops - didn’t realize. It was the only one I saw.

The letter is in post #19. Very few ship/sailing options, to my eye.

How is this for a wild GUESS? They are reaccommodating the BOS summer 2023 pax on the Serenade after which they will reopen the sailings ? (Oh, wait, the letter to Serenade cancelled pax said something about moving her to Florida). Just a thought/guess that would save our cruises ………..

I read the offer to the Serenade passengers and the Brilliance wasn’t one of the options. Those pax are pretty upset as the sailings/ships offered (the letter is in another thread) have poor availability left for specialty cabins like suites or aft verandas.

All summer sailings into November 2023 are showing closed. This shortly after the Serenade was pulled from Europe for next summer. We booked b2b Athens to Barcelona to Tampa for next November - fingers very crossed that we still have that as we got fabulous deals months ago. Linda

Rustyman, I have to make my Rome hotel decision by next week and would love to see your edoc for your hotel package and particularly the transfer. Would you possibly be willing to share that with me? If you don’t want to post it here, could you maybe email it to me at tonto524 at aol dot com. Thank you so much ! Linda

Thanks ! That gives me some confidence. Are you at the Hotel Cicerone???

Nope. Final payment is July 24 so I want to decide before that.

“Their” is Celebrity, but “their” cruise only transfer from Central Rome shows a departure of 130pm which is way too late for me.

I know that the packages are no longer offered, but we have a two night pre cruise package at the Cicerone which includes a transfer to Civi. Has anyone done this in 2022 (or maybe at all) so I can tell what time they pick up for the trip to the pier? Naturally, Reservations hasn't a clue, and I'm ready to do my own thing if their transportation leaves too late for my comfort level. Thanks so much, Linda

I’m stuck in something similar. Final for IN 4 nt cruise was due 6/15. On 6/12, Royal cancelled my booking and cruise planner purchases. Discovered this the morning of 6/13 - spent literally three hrs on the phone with them (btw, I am also the TA on his booking) reinstating the res, rebooking the cruise planner stuff. On 6/14 I couldn’t get payment to go thru for the final or the cruise planner items so I called the C and A Desk and an agent handled it. On 6/22, I suddenly had a cruise balance due of the amount of my cruise planner purchases. Another hour on the phone. Resolutions has put in an “IT ticket” which may take weeks to resolve and has extended he final payment date (which of course I’ve already paid). Ridiculous. Absolutely ridiculous.
