Thank you. Karen

Are cruise begins in the US but ends in Vancouver. We will fly from Vancouver to Seattle and then to Boston. How many different immigration/security stops are there? Two in Canada (Getting off the ship and then again at the airport) and One in Seattle (At the airport)? I am more concerned about the turnaround time in Seattle. I have a flight booked for 1:30 out of Vancouver. How much time do I need between flights in Seattle? This would be on a Friday in September if that makes any difference. Thanks for your help. Karen

We have taken our now adult children on various vacations when they were growing up. We did everything from camping to cruising, beach vacations, Disney World and Europe. They loved them all. We love the fact that they love to travel and love to explore the world. When we asked our oldest daughter to pick a trip for her family to go on she picked a cruise. She remembers the fun we had and wants to share that with her daughters. That is why people bring young kids on Celebrity. I am a Celebrity Loyalist and would love for my granddaughters to love it too. April can't come soon enough. Karen

Thank you everyone for your help. We haven't cruised Holland America in 20 plus years so their process is new to us. You were all very helpful. Karen

We are traveling with friends out of Fort Lauderdale on February 4, 2024. We received our boarding times today and theirs is an hour after ours. Do they pay close attention to the times? Would we be better off boarding with them at the later time? Thanks for your help. Karen

Thank you everyone. Helpful as always. I though I needed to adjust my packing. 🤣 Karen

VMax1700 thank you for your quick response.

My husband and I are on the Nieuw Statendam on February 4-11 of this year. When I look at the itinerary it shows every day as Smart Casual. Is this an error and will it change? This is only my second Holland America cruise and the last was over 20 years ago. I am trying to plan my wardrobe choices. 😎 Thanks, Karen

I totally agree with you. I would choose Celebrity over Princess any day. Our cruise to Hawaii on Princess (Crown) in April was a huge disappointment except maybe one or two crew members. The overall vibe was totally different. Karen

In Massachusetts there is a winter break in February but it typically is the third week in February. Spring break week is usually around Patriots Day in the month of April. We have cruised several times during the first week of February (Husband's birthday) and it has never been crowded. The weather in the Caribbean is lovely. We are actually looking at the same cruise.

We were on last month and were able to do so. We had to ask for the menu.

Jim, I just saw this. I am so far behind already and you haven't even left. We will be sailing on the same ship in February. I am anxious to hear how you deal with your transfers. Thanks for doing this again. I will be waiting for your great photos. Karen

Thank you for all your replies. I booked thru a TA. He said he checked with Celebrity and they said only for 6 nights or longer. I will check again. Thank you all for your help. Karen

Thank you everyone for your replies. I did ask about the B2B discount but was told it was only for six nights or longer. We are doing a 5-4-5. Thanks again. You guys are great. Karen

My husband and I just booked three short cruises going back to back to back on the Summit. I have a couple of questions for those who have done back to back cruises before. I know there is a special procedure in between cruises where they will process us off and on the ship but how do they know we are doing a back to back? Do i have to check in for all three cruises on the app? Do I take three different pictures? Thanks for your help. Karen
