IsItTimeToCruiseYet?

Thank you very much for the pictures. I love the new look/location compared to the Edge. Luminae on Beyond is larger with amazing views. I'm enjoying your posts and thanks so much for sharing your cruise with us! Cheers!

Thanks so much for your input. I can't wait to see the Retreat outside space since it's huge. We stayed in a suite on the Edge and really enjoyed the suite areas. The Beyond.. OMG it looks amazing! We didn't care for the balcony chairs since they were uncomfortable and the table was very small. I kindly asked our Butler on the Edge for a 'real' table so we can have breakfast on the balcony and surprisingly he found one for us. I didn't think he would come through but did. How do you like the setup in Luminae? Enjoy your cruise and have a blast!

Thanks so much for your posts and sharing your cruise with all of us. What do you think of the Retreat areas? My husband and I have a Sky Suite booked in 2024 (I know... a long way out...) and can't wait to experience the suite areas. Enjoy your cruise!!!

Thanks so much for the information. We are used to the vibrations and that is one way to get me out of bed early in the morning! 🙂 Have a great day!

Thank you very much for your response as well as the picture of the cabin. Enjoy your day!

My husband/I have a forward accessible cabin on the Beyond next year. Do you hear any noise when docking/anchoring and can you store your luggage under the bed? Thanks so much for your help and enjoy your cruise.

Thank you very much for the pictures! Absolutely stunning and I can't wait to see it in person. Good to know that we can explore the town after the tour. I finally was able to book the tour. Many thanks for your help and have a fantastic cruise!

Hi Jim Best wishes with your upcoming surgery. Thank you very much for sharing your amazing journey with us! Thanks to you, I added new places to visit on my bucket list. Wishing you and Iain a safe trip back home and I hope DH/I can meet you on a cruise someday!

Congratulations to both of you! Woo Hoo

Hi Jim Thanks so much for your amazing pictures from Bar Harbor and Peggy's Cove. You had picture perfect days and seeing images from Bar Harbor/Acadia meant the world to me. My friend lives in Nova Scotia and is always sending me pictures from Peggy's Cove, Halifax, etc. Stunning in many ways! You must have 'lobstah' in Maine as that's how it's pronounced there. Gotta love it! If you have time in Portland for lunch... check out "https://portlandlobstercompany.com". My husband and I had lunch there several years ago and the food was amazing. I can't eat shellfish (I know... so sad) but he flipped out with the lobster roll. A quaint Maine eatery that is really good. There are so many places to have lunch there and a beautiful city to tour around. Not sure how you are entering Portland but if you can see the Portland Head Lighthouse (https://www.visitportland.com/blog/2020/03/11/portland-head-light/) you will be in awe. One of my favorite lighthouses in Maine besides Rockland Breakwater, Owls Head and Pemiquid. Thanks so much for sharing all of your cruises with us and the amazing photos as well! Cheers!

I'm so sorry! No worries and thank you very much for letting me know. Have a good day.

Thanks so much for letting me know. It will be nice to go to a small port and not stress out over parking, etc.

Maine holds a very special place in my heart as well as my husbands. We had a timeshare in Rockport and traveled there for sixteen years. The people in Maine were amazing, the scenery was jaw dropping and loved all of our vacations there, including the wicked winters!

I remember seeing Ollie's Trolly when my husband/I visited Bar Harbor/Acadia over the years. I hope you'll have beautiful weather. The view from Cadillac Mtn. is amazing. Maine blueberries is out of this world and if you like martinis... must try a blueberry martini/blueberry coffee. There are plenty of restaurants along Main Street if y'all would like to get a bite to eat/drink. Don't forget lobstah! 🙂 Can't wait to read about your day tomorrow!

Hi Jim... Looking forward to more reports from your cruise. I've learned so much from this thread and the pictures are outstanding! Not sure what you are doing tomorrow in Bar Harbor but if you have time... check out Ben & Bill's Chocolate Emporium...66 Main Street...Phone: (207) 288-3281. Their ice cream and candies are absolutely phenomenal! If you would like to go for a leisurely walk, check out the Shore Path (https://acadiamagic.com/bar-harbor/shore-path.html). My husband and I used to travel to Maine on a yearly basis and always spent two days visiting Bar Harbor/Acadia National Park. Hope both of you will have a great day tomorrow!

Thank you very much for the link.

Thanks so much. Will the car be in a parking garage?

Hi There My husband and I have a cruise booked later on this year sailing on Celebrity Constellation departing from Tampa. This will be our first cruise from Tampa. We would like to park our car in a garage where it's protected while we are on the cruise. If anyone could provide input to their experiences at parking garages at the port with their feedback, it would be very much appreciated. If we need a porter after the cruise to assist us back to the garage, would a porter be willing to do so? We will be more than happy to give a nice tip due to his/her time assisting us. Any information would be helpful. Many thanks and happy cruising!

Thanks so much for the additional information. I'm trying to book the tour through Celebrity but it's not letting me... The message I obtain is... "Sorry, we’re working on enhancing excursion options. Check back soon." Due to your feedback, we would love to take this excursion. Many thanks for your assistance... it is greatly appreciated!

Thank you so much for your response. My hobby is photography and since this will be our first visit to the Azores, I would love to have some time to take pictures of the lakes. We love wine and I know my husband would really enjoy that part of the tour as well. If you have any pictures to post, I would greatly appreciate it. Many thanks again!!!

Beyond magical! Outstanding photos and thanks so much for sharing. I would have had a field day taking pictures!

Thank you so much Jim! Looking forward to reading more about your amazing experiences! Safe Travels and have a great time!

Awesome! Thanks so much!! !!!

Thank you very much and it's greatly appreciated. Sorry that you have to pack up and move rooms. Looking forward to reading more about your amazing cruise! Safe Travels!!!
