Hi, Thank for you the review.  We are going on the Eurodam in April to celebrate our 50th Anniversary and 80th birthday..  We have 17 other couples joining us.  My question is that I would like to be able to see a wine list before we board.  Do you know how we might get one.  Also do you think they did a good job accommodating larger groups.   

Thanks - I will check on Trip Advisor and also the Wangz Hotel.

We are in the process of looking at airfares with hotel (seems like the cheaper way to go). One of the hotels they suggested was Hotel Orchard. Has any of you stayed there?

Yes we were lucky enough to get a cheap cruise from Singapore to Sydney last year. Prior to this I really hadn't had any interest in going to Singapore. But once I started researching and looking at attractions that soon changed.

We only had 3 full days there but had a fantastic time. We travel with my 15 year old daughter who has a wheelchair and everything was so accessible the locals so well mannered and helpful.

We left our motel Fort Canning Lodge at 7 each morning returned for a swim in the afternoon then out again till about 10 each night.

We needed that cruise afterwards for a rest.

We are going back next year in December prior to a few days each in Cambodia and Vietnam, we can hardly wait.

When in Dec are you going? WE are going on the Dec 2nd 2017 cruise on Princess Sapphire.

The food in the MDR was hit or miss. Had better luck in the buffet. Last night I ordered room service from the MDR menu. The food came quick and it was hot. My steak was not cooked as I ordered but I dont get upset over small things like that. I had breakfast in the MDR this morning and it was wonderful. Due to high winds, we could not tender at Coco Cay. No surprise there. We instead got to dock in NASSAU! Nice surprise. The rain went away but it was windy. Note to self. I will never cruise in January. Too cool for my liking. The casino was small and had outdated games but I did win a few hundred bucks! (I was smart enough to cash out and keep the money...ok ok I kept half of it lol) The Captain Nemo slot machine was HOT! Just thought I will pass that along and share the wealth. I am now sitting waiting to disembark. NIGHTMARE. People waiting everywhere. Luckily my plane doesn't leave until late this afternoon. I'm going to take a taxi to Las Olas Blvd for lunch and light shopping before my flight. OK the line is moving so gotta go. Any questions ask away!

I heard that they made some changes and that now you can't charge your OBC for cash to gamble. I am told they give you a promo code.

I am really trying to understand this so I know how much money to bring. For instance, if I decide I want to use $100 to gamble with and I take a promo credit on my OBC then if I lose the $100. it will deduct the $100 from my OBC but then if I win, they only pay me the winnings over the original $100. Is that right?

Just the two registered to the AQ cabin will be able to eat in Blu for both breakfast and dinner. Also, this is one rule that Celebrity actually enforces very strictly. Whoever has the blue cards will be the only ones allowed to eat there. People have reported throwing money at Maitre'ds to no avail.

So that means if they want to eat with their kids, they have to eat in the MDR? What a shame, you would think being family - they could eat in the BLU with their parents. I sure don't like that rule. Actually, it affects us also in the way that we are traveling with our best friends and they are not Aqua so we won't be eating in the BLU either.

Thanks for all the info. Actually it would be too difficult to take public transit because my friends will be bringing 2 large suitcases each and a carryon for each too. It would be too hard to manage all that luggage, I'm afraid - we are not young. LOL. The best price I have found so far is the Coastal Cars at 135 pounds. I just haven't heard of anyone using them and was hoping for a recommendation from someone. I will look into Woodford too and see what they charge. Thanks again.

Hi,

I have been trying to get quotes from several of the private transfer companies. Some people have recommended Woodford Chauffeurs and Dolphin which I have not been able to find on internet. Do any of you have their web address. Also I do have a quote from Smiths and from Coastal Cars. Coastal Cars seems to have the best price so far but can any of you recommend them. I have not seen their name mentioned in any posts. Any advise would be greatly appreciated.
