  1. I confess to starting early too! When I've been close to the 15 I use my wife's allowance👍🙂
  2. As for the Sun Princess, we can't wait to board this August for 14 nights. Nothing reported so far has put me off in the slightest.
  3. They certainly did it for Celebrity Edge back in 2018. My DD was selected for Activities Manager. The inaugural season was so stressful (being a brand new concept for Celebrity) she quit. The initial negativity the ship received from Celebrity diehards didn't help!
  4. Devastating news! The water temperature was 10c, so hyperthermia will set in quickly! Two pilots on the cargo ship so something seriously went wrong with the ship's navigation/steering/radar. I'm guessing it will be many weeks before cargo ships/ cruise ships can use the docks again.
  5. I hope you didn't starve waiting so long to be served 😉
  6. Here's the link @Pixelskaya Santorini Cruise Ship Schedule 13 August 2024 | Santorini Cruise Port Schedule 13 August 2024 (cruisetimetables.com) In with us will be: MSC Divina (3,502 pax) Odyssey of the Seas (4,198 pax) Silversea Silver Whisper (388 pax) Unfortunately Silver Whisper leaves at 10 pm (as does the Sun) and OOTS an hour after us, so I wouldn't risk taking the gondola later than 8 pm. We've been to Santorini loads of times. The walk up is fun (just 588 steps to the top). Walking down takes about 30-40 minutes, but don't wear nice/new trainers!!!! Last year we had quite a queue for the gondola (at least an hour!) as there 3 other ships in. We should have waited later into the early evening as our ship was leaving much later than the others. See you on board perhaps!
  7. Looks very windy there today!
  8. We will do traditional dining on the Sun this August. I really like the look of the MDR on deck 6. Hopefully second sitting dining in the Med' will be at 8.15 pm. Any ship motion doesn't bother us in the slightest. I actually enjoy some wave movement whilst cruising.
  9. Great minds think alike.👍
  10. I've just followed the above instructions and when I click on "cancel" then click on "login" I get a window showing a complete stranger's name (a lady) and date of birth in1948. There's a profile picture of her too in the top right corner of the screen. What on earth is going on!?! Is this because I'm in the UK?
  11. I've never felt overdressed in my formal attire and will continue to wear a tux' on formal wear suggested dress code nights regardless of where the cruise is. I also couldn't "give a monkeys" on what others choose to wear. Me and the wife always dress smartly when going out for a meal in our locality too. And don't get me started on flight weight allowance restriction excuses!🙄
  12. Neither do all the Activities team members. A fact, as my DD was one of them for almost ten years with Celebrity!
  13. Sorry to read your misfortune. With all your cruise experience I would have thought you would have had a "Plan B"? Taking non direct flights also cost considerably less when flying "last minute". Whilst beneath some, I would have accepted economy seats just to get where I wanted to be.
  14. Thank you for such a balanced and well written review.
  15. Have I missed a review of Sabatini's? There must be one posted surely!
