    We booked a five port excursion package through shoreexcursions.com. Every excursion was fantastic. We didn’t get to choose the excursions in the package but each excursion visited the sights I wanted to see. I was very happy doing this and would recommend them. 

    Cool! We'll check it out. Thank you so much! Getting excited, our first time to Greece. 😄

    We did a seven night cruise last September round trip Athens which included Istanbul, Kusadasi, Rhodes, Mykonos and Santorini. Loved all of it! I was looking for a seven night sailing that included Athens, Mykonos, Santorini and Istanbul. We made all the ports and enjoyed our time in each port. We had booked a five port excursion bundle through a company and each excursion visited places I had wanted to go. Honestly, it was incredible to be in all those places. Seeing the Blue Mosque, Grand Bazaar, Ephesus, Oia, etc... one of the best trips ever.

    We are looking for excursions for our 9-night cruise this September that includes Athens, Ephesus, Santorini, Mykonos and Chania, Crete. Could you please share the tour company you used? Do you recommend them? TIA.

    Beyond- still beyond creaking and clicking

    We were on the Beyond December 1st cruise in an IV cabin on Deck 8, and the creaking and popping noise was really loud. The noise came from the balcony and the walls all night everyday. First time we hardly got any sleep the entire cruise. Maintenance crews came twice but couldn't fix it. We've been cruising on different Celebrity ships and on other cruise lines since 2007 and have never heard noise like that. It sounds like Ascent has the same structural issues. We have two cruises booked on Ascent and are considering cancelling them. 😞

    Yup. If you look at the deck plans, the SS are grouped in fours. For every group of four, the outside two do not have the pole, the inside two do have the pole.

     

    As an example, take cabins 10123, 10121, 10119, 10117.

     

    With pole: 10121, 10119

    No pole: 10123, 10117

    We didn't know about the pole either. Thanks mac_tlc. We got the outside cabin of the four. 🙂

    From reading what VV is doing, it seems that it’s just allowing upper tiers to join their new program prior to actually sailing them. I am interested though.

    A status upgrade before sailing with them will be good enough for us. 😄

    Since the restart, once onboard, has anyone been offered or have you negotiated a specialty dining discount?

    We were on Silhouette last November.  On the first and second days, crews tried to sell the discount multi nights package at the Oceanview entrance.  But we only wanted one night at Murano.  They couldn't give us a discount.  Then on the 4th day, they remembered us and offered $40 pp.  Pre-pandemic, we were able to negotiate for $30 pp.

    New testing guidelines

    in Celebrity Cruises

    I just received this update from Celebrity 20 mins ago.

     

    Starting with September 5th departures: 
    • All travelers, regardless of vaccination status, can cruise with us on sailings departing from U.S. and Europe ports (excluding sailings that visit Canada).
    • We will begin accepting self-tests on sailings from U.S. ports that don’t visit Canada and Bermuda, and on many Europe sailings.
    • We’re easing testing protocols for U.S. cruises that don’t visit Canada or Bermuda:
      • For sailings 9 nights or less, vaccinated guests will no longer need to test to board one of our ships, where destinations allow; and will have 3 days prior to boarding to test for sailings 10 nights or more.
      • Unvaccinated guests ages 5 and older will need to test 3 days prior to boarding U.S. sailings (excluding Canada and Bermuda); and ages 12 and older for select Europe sailings.
    • The current testing protocol for cruises to Canada and Bermuda will remain in place until further notice, as well as the requirement that guests age 12 and up be fully vaccinated.
    • Some testing protocols in Europe are also easing.
