Crazy planning mom

Thanks for your review. Definitely recommend NCL as long as it's not spring break.

Any idea when those might go on sale?

Marmalade has a $135 tasting menu. Can someone recommend something moderately priced in Old san Juan?

Enjoy some delicious local food in Athens before boarding and when off the ship.

Hope you both feel better soon. Enjoy Vegas and the Navigator. Great review as usual. Planning a land trip of Paris & London and this review was helpful.

Never mind I see it now. Please delete

I didn't see them there but maybe I just missed it.

I was especially looking forward to seeing Rockumentary. However, it hasnt appeared in the App recently. I havent sailed yet just like to see what they have. Has anyone sailed recently. Are they still showing these two shows?

You earned that waffle after the hike.

You can walk on Matanuska Glacier. We used Mica Guides but had to get there ourselves from Anchorage. If you don't have a car, I believe Salmon Berry Tours has tours of Matanuska Glacier that includes transport from Anchorage.

You also may wish to try a quieter line like Princess although they don't have water slides, ice skating rinks.

Love reading your reviews and live blogs.

Have a great time! Love Alaska.

Thanks for all the responses. I am lactose intolerant and not a big fan of mashed potatoes. I will pop a lactaid pill for something yummy but not a big fan of mashed potatoes.

Thanks.

Can I ask to have something else other than mashed potatoes with my entree?

Unfortunately, COVID is on the rise and there is a risk with all forms of travel. We did catch COVID on our only post COVID cruise. However, we have another one planned. We will mask im crowded indoor spaces as I do wear a mask commuting to work on the subway. The other thing I recommend is bringing some OTC meds with you. And, yes I plan to get the latest booster.

Recommend PK Travel for transfer in Athens and to the ship.

Definitely Adventure of the Seas since it sails to Puerto Plata and Labadee. Those are both good ports to get off and wander. Not all ports are conducive and safe to just wandering. Plus, the Adventure is newer than the other too.

True, but younger people enjoy food. It doesn't have to be lobster per se but the millennials and gen xers aren't going to stay with Celebrity if the food isn't up to par.

We ended up doing a self guided trip of Alaska in 2021. Recommend take a Mica guides tour of Matanuska Glacier. Matanuska Glacier id an hour and a half drive from Anchorage. Also, Denali. In addition to the bus in Denali, my husband and son ziplined nearby. We also loved our Kenai Fjords boat tour out of Seward.

We took a similar cruise on the Jade last year. We stayed at the beautiful AVA Boutique Hotel in Athens which was a short walk from the Acropolis.

Our very first cruise 25 years ago was on Celebrity. My parents treated us. The food wowed us. We started a family and then cruised Royal. Carnival and NCL. Now, we are booked on Celebrity again and it seems the product is downgraded. If that's our experience, it's back to Royal/ NCL.

We sailed on the Jade in 2022 on a 7 day bucket list itinerary without kids. We enjoyed it very much but there wasn't a ton of activities. I think I would be bored for 14 days on her.
