Welcome to the BA board, Medskis1!
What level membership do you have in BAEC?
On the assumption that your membership level doesn't entitle you to free seat pre-allocation, the problem here is very likely to be that your booking has not yet been ticketed. Cruise lines tend to do this fairly late in the booking cycle, as ticketing is basically the point at which they have to pay the airline. If there is no ticket, then you won't be able to pre-allocate your seat online.
You should be able to do this on the phone, though, if you can get through to an agent. I don't know whether payment by Avios would work on the phone, but IIRC they will happily take a cash payment to do this even though the booking remains unticketed.
My problem is, when I log into BA (yes I have an Executive Club account and a nice AMount of Avios) under SEATING it says Seat Selection can only be made at checkin. Wow. I understand seat selection is not free in many categories for BA and I am very willing to pay cash or in Avios to select something decent for this overnight flight. Any ideas…..I have tried several times and cant even see a seat map.

you are right - we are unticketed. Earliest they ticket is 60 days out and flight is Aug 7.
I need to speak with an agent anyhow because I have to separately buy our LHR to EDI flight (there is a BA flight 2 hours after we land at LHR) to see if I could somehow link the two PNR’s so our luggage can go through to EDI without need to get it at LHR and recheck for the second flight. We had already booked a 2 week Scotland trip before we booked the river cruise. Viking can get us to LHR or Amsterdam and we are on our own for other flights of course. I do hope BA would be able to link the bookings.

hi medskis1
Welcome to flyertalk
A bit ot for this thread but Unfortunately BA will not tag bags through on separate tickets ( it has been policy for 5 or 6 years now so you wilm need to collect bags at Heathrow and recheck in for Edinburgh
( I should point out that some agents may tag bags through but this is not policy and I would not count on it)
I would allow extra time at LHR to collect bags
Regards

Missing windows 5A/K on 77M
Just booked LHR-NAS for next year. Looks like 77M version.
Currently in 5K. Usually prefer first row and ideally the mini cabin but haven't flown on this version.
It looks like there are missing windows on this seat and the one usable window is right behind you.
Is this correct?
If, so will move to 6 or 7K.
Many thanks

77G
Our LHR-DEN flight in October has been changed to a 77G with old CW seating. We're in seats 12A & B now. I understand I (in 12A) will have to disturb and climb over someone to get to the toilets. Will I have to climb over my wife in 12B or the passenger in 13B ? The seat map doesn't make this clear. Also, they have blocked off seating in the F cabin. Do those seats remain unoccupied at departure or are CW passengers moved up?

If F service are not sold for the flight, F generally remains closed unless BA have oversold and then, they do move people to First but with Club world service. This is a bit hit and miss.

That's not going to work- I don't have the strongest bladder. I see 16 J&K are available and I would have direct aisle access. Are those terrible seats?

Only think to keep in mind are the lavatories are just behind this row of seats and the bassinet seats for premium economy are just beyond the toilets and also technically 16EF is the couple bassinet seat in Club.
Not a deal breaker but something to be aware of.
