Help, please! I cannot see the option to purchase a hot glass class on my cruise planner for the 8/28 Eclipse cruise. It isn't under excursions or "special experiences", e.g. pizza making.

Wow! That really limits options for Galapagos with Celebrity. With RCCL stock doing the best of all cruise lines it would be great if a 2nd Flora could be built. After viewing the last PUP, Galapagos was on my radar. Will have to rethink as there is a huge price difference between Flora and Xpedition that is a bit rich for my blood!

My $55 month t-mobile gave me free texts and all the data I needed for when we were out and about. Calls were .25 USD per minute.

Pounds are cash! USD would NOT be accepted. @LINDAE3213 If you prepurchase GBP in the US you will likely pay a higher amount than using an ATM card in London to obtain them. Our bank and our credit union provide ATM cards for cash withdrawals vs. debit cards which can also be used for purchases.

Rather than MDR as choice, wouldn't the term Designated Dining Room suffice? That might cover AQ and the sweet people. Or perhaps indicate the poll is designed to sample Celebrity cruisers who are assigned MDR.

Had good luck on the Summit with the 3 Little Piggies (?) slots. 2 days after disembarking we were at Wildhorse Casino in Pendleton OR. I was thrilled to find those machines there! Until it ate my money faster than a speeding bullet. If that game is available on the Eclipse I hope it pays as it did on Summit!

Perhaps your nephew could load the necessary apps on his cell phone. Last summer I switched from AT&T to T-mobile which has free data and texting in Europe. One advantage was with the United app downloaded we were informed of any delays, etc. Another benefit was using Google Maps to find our way back to our VRBO when we got lost in Paris.

Far from Charlottetown but quirky are the Bottle Houses and the Canadian Potato Museum on PEI.

Liao only mentioned suites. He did not tell you that the Deluxe Porthole Veranda category of which there are 58 and are less expensive than the Infinite Verandas have sliding doors, Here is a video:

Nephew might have less recovery time from jet lag given his age. But some suggestions to recover from it are: *See if your hotel permits early check in. We paid a small fee to do that in Berlin at a Mercure hotel. And we found an Ibis hotel in Fontainebleau FR with a noon check in! *Take the HoHo bus for a circuit to doze as needed. For 2nd time around use it to hop off at the British Museum, etc.

The plus here are the drapes that close in lieu of the translucent panels and room-darkening shade on the retractable window. Regardless of the A/C issue, at least this cabin configuration would allow DH to step onto the "veranda" to snap a few photos while I still have a darkened cabin!

Per the tour company's website: THE ANNAPOLIS VALLEY TOUR – Famous for its beautiful sites and great tasting wine, the Annapolis Valley provides a day filled of highs and lows …tides ! Some of the highest tides in the world ! We are hoping to see the tidal difference from our 1st stop on the Bay of Fundy and the last before we head back to Halifax. This is something our traveling companions really wanted and I am fine with wine so that is why we chose this tour. DH and I experienced the tides at Hopewell Rocks NB- admission allowed re-entry so in the morning we walked the shore and when we returned that afternoon it was completely covered by the sea!

Chiming in on Peggy's Cove.... We went there when we were staying in Lunenberg while on our own driving trip to 3 of the Atlantic provinces. We got there before the tour busses rolled in so did enjoy it somewhat to ourselves for awhile. Also visited Mahones Bay. Personally, I would not want to book a ship or private tour from the ship to Peggy's Cove. The experience is so diminished by crowds. We have booked a private tour to the Annapolis Valley for our Halifax stop, but after seeing all these posts wondering if we should cancel and concentrate on the city since we didn't visit there on our land vacay.

If you start HH right at 5 and then secure drink #2 right before your dinner time you can bring it with you. If you have the early set dining you can arrive a few minutes late. We prefer dining early too but with select we reserve for 6:15.

I had issues with signing out on my Dell laptop. Was down to the wire of 240 minutes on a 6-night cruise when trying to check-in for our flights on AirCanada out of YVR to PDX. DH's ipad had beaucoup minutes left at the end of our cruise. Ipad for me in the future.
