Just curious. We are doing a back to back cruise. If we purchase a bottle of alcohol in the gift shop on the first cruise, do they deliver it to our room the night before that cruise ends or on the last night of our second cruise? Thanks

We've taken two northern transatlantics (NYC to Southhampton and Amsterdam to Tampa) and were surprised that daily high temps were in the 40s despite it being July and August. Now we are taking a transatlantic from Florida to Spain in May. Can anyone tell me what to expect for daily temps while in the middle of the atlantic? I know once we arrive temps will be in the 70s but not sure how cold it will be during this more southern crossing. Thanks

Thanks all for your quick responses

We are booked in a ocean view cabin on a transatlantic this April. Once we arrive in Haifa, we are moving to a Jr Suite for a 6 day cruise. Will we have to pack our suitcases and put them out the night before like everyone who is departing the ship or will they simply pick up our suitcases from our cabin on the turn around day and take them to our next cabin?

Another update. We didn’t book a tour in St Lucia since we’ve been there several times. In Martinique we booked the Best of Martinique tour. It was a long day but a very nice tour of the island. In St Kitts we booked the St Kitts Essentials and again we really enjoyed this tour. One thing that has impressed us is the Captain and other officers are on the pier every day we are in port wishing us a good day as we leave. Like many of the things we like about Celebrity, it’s those small gestures and details that really make the difference. We had dinner at Le Petite on day 3. This was our second time, having dined there on the Apex last year. I must admit it wasn’t as exciting the second time but the food was excellent. They told us they would be switching menus on day 5 for the remainder of the cruise. We’ve had lunch at the spa cafe a couple of times. We like the lighter fare for lunch. Breakfast in the main dining room was tasty but service was quite slow so we tended to go to Oceanview cafe for breakfast. it’s been quite hectic since we’ve been in port every day for the past 5 days We were invited to view the sail away from the helicopter landing pad at the front of the ship yesterday. Again, a nice touch. If invited, I encourage you to attend. The view is spectacular. The next two days will be sea days and we look forward to relaxing and attending the guest speaker’s talks about NASA and the space program.

Oops. The Barbados tour wasn’t that long. I’m confusing it with the tour in Martinique

Yes it was the Best of Barbados excursion. It was a very long tour (8 hrs) and the time spent at this stop wasn’t worth it imho

We upgraded the basic internet package to premium a couple of days ago and it is working better. Still kicks us off now and then but not as often

I know folks like to hear about what is happening on board. We are on day 6 of a 10 day Southern Caribbean cruise. It’s been a very nice cruise with just a few not so great things. The good: The ship is about 2/3 full so finding a seat at any of the venues is easy. The food and service is very good in the main dining room. However getting drink service in the Oceanview cafe is next to impossible. . Our room is kept neat and tidy thanks to our steward. Room service is delivered on time and it is warm. Staff are friendly and you see the Capt out and about every day. The music in bars and lounges is exceptional and the guest speaker presentations have been excellent. The Xmas decorations are tasteful but only in the grand foyer. There are a few negatives. The theater shows have been sub par. The comedian wasn’t funny, and just threw out old tired jokes. We skipped the magician, just not our thing. The male singers in the large production shows are good but the women need to be told that screeching is not singing. It was painful to listen at times. The dancers were high energy and tried their best but often were out of sync with each other. It looks like they haven’t danced together very long. The acrobats added a nice touch to the show. There isn’t a lot to do during the day if you don’t want to pay extra for activities and the movies offered are very dated The internet is terrible as many have reported. We’ve taken a couple of excursions that we ok. Not great but not terrible. I would suggest you not bother going to the tropical garden in Barbados. All the orchids were killed off by hurricanes and volcanic ash so you end up walking through gardens and screened huts of sticks. I’m not sure why they continue to take tours there. As I said, it’s been a good cruise and the negatives are not enough to make us regret our decision to take this cruise.

I have the basic wifi that was included in my fare. Does anyone know how much it cost to upgrade to the faster speed internet (yes I understand "faster" on a ship is still limited) Thanks
