A shame though that it is in August, I would go in June, If I remember correctly it only stays in Svalbard for one day. That's a bit a shame for such a long trip.

Absolutely fantastic cruise! The only downside is the short stay on Svaldbard and the weird overnight stop in Honningsvag. We have already visited Geiranger twice, so that missing port wouldn't bother us so much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GW248 Posted November 17, 2023 #1253 Share Posted November 17, 2023 @Ourusualbeach We are looking for a 7 day or so out of PC Nov/Dec 2025 and late Feb 2026. I'm only seeing Adventure coming up (which is fine), but will there be any other ships doing a week or so out of PC, and if so, when would that be released?

Think it is priced accordingly for what it is. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tottenhamfc Posted November 18, 2023 #1264 Share Posted November 18, 2023 Just curious when you are booking a next cruise certificate, is it best to just book the cheapest price and then look for reductions later? This is higher priced by 25 to 30% than my previous 4 TA’s in the last 5 years. Just trying to strategize because they are okaying the game of sold out categories already. Usually dont have an issue booking upon release but this is very different. Unless they have a bunch of group bookings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I understand but I just have another 1 month to get the OBC. Really more interested in comments about strategy of booking the cheapest category and then upgrading. Not worth paying a premium and also not getting cabin choice. Never had to contend with this before TBH. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess they have zero interest in experiences cruisers anymore. We just pay the bills but dont create profit margin. They are looking for a different demographic but they wont get it on a TA 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tons to see and do in Lisbon and the surrounding area, great food and wine, busy nightlife and the ship parks literally in the city centre. It's a brilliant stop for an overnight. I was underwhelmed by Vigo, although we did enjoy a really delicious lunch in a place off the main tourist route when we managed to get a bit lost. 😂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have enjoyed most Spanish stops that I have done even if it is just wandering around and Vigo would be new. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
