Just off Icon…any questions?
luv2ndhalf replied to Womack21499's topic in Royal Caribbean International
How was the wait for the elevators? Are they usually crowded? Are there multiple gangways to disembark in the ports? I just am curious if there is chaos when people are trying to get off- -
We are long time Celebrity cruisers-Suite class. We just returned from 24 days at sea-Wonderful trip, but the food got a little old and we are thinking about trying something new. I have started looking at the Quantum ships....The new Icon ship is just too big for us. There are many nights that we eat dinner in our room-If we requested (sometimes he would suggest), our butler would bring different items from the various restaurants for our meal. Is this possible with the Genie service? Thanks!

Latest disembarkation time or Extend Your Stay?
luv2ndhalf replied to luv2ndhalf's topic in Celebrity Cruises
I'm sure they will....Just not sure if we'd rather spend a little more time on the ship or in the Las Ramblas area- Ideally I'd like to leave the ship around 11:00, so trying to determine if it is worth paying for the couple extra hours with Extend Your Stay -
We will be docking in Barcelona and we’re looking at our options to spend some time before we can check into our hotel (Las Ramblas area). We have visited a few times previously, so we are not interested in doing any excursions. Can someone please jog my memory on what the latest disembarkation time is without doing extend your stay? Thanks

Jumping in late to the thread...I so enjoy your blogs! It was fun to hear your voice....I've only just heard it in my head when I read along :)! Have fun! -
Thanks for pointing this out....booking this trip has been a little challenging- I would think that a passenger is a passenger, no matter where they are from- There is only one travel agency in the US that I can book through, and I have not always had consistent info when using others to book my travel. I just want to be sure that I have all my ducks in a row before I put down our deposit (which is higher than any other cruise that we have taken on other lines before).

My son is thinking of joining us on an Aurora sailing next year. He is not sure who/if anyone will be sharing his stateroom. I’m not sure the best way to book his cabin- As a solo, and then add a possible passenger, or cancel/no show his cabin mate if necessary? Any advice on other’s experience? Thanks!

Best way to book a cruise from the US
luv2ndhalf replied to luv2ndhalf's topic in P&O Cruises ( UK )
I have not tried calling them directly yet....I appreciate you sharing @Selburne's with me! -
Hello! I am looking at booking a cruise sailing out of Southampton (Aurora)...We live in the US- I am not a huge fan of their website, and not super confident in the booking process online... We normally sail on Celebrity, and I'm not familiar with P & O- Calling directly? Website? Travel agent? TIA

Pointers please 🙂 Looking at a Northern Lights cruise March 2025. Due to time constraints, we’d like to do either 6-7 days. Looking at either Hurtigtuten or Havila. Do we go north to south or vise versa? Tips? TIA

We are looking at the "Extend Your Stay" option on one of our sailings....The one that is offered for Retreat guests (we will be on the Silhouette). It looks like you still need to be out of your room by 8:30, but can stay on the ship until 2:00. Can anyone share with me if there is food available anywhere after everyone has disembarked? Thanks

We are docking overnight in August in Pauillac (Celebrity Silhouette). For those that have gone on winery tours, do you have any favorites? I know that Bordeaux is a couple hours from port. TIA

Overnight stay in Copenhagen
luv2ndhalf replied to luv2ndhalf's topic in Northern Europe & Baltic Sea
We will be sailing on the Celebrity Silhouette...Docking Aug. 25-26th -
Hello to all! We have an overnight port in Copenhagen at the end of August. We are in our early 60's, don't mind some walking, but after too much we have some mobility issues. I am thinking one day we will do Nyhavn and possibly a canal tour. The other day I am thinking Tivoli Gardens. Is a guide needed for Nyhavn? How far from the cruise port (I don't know which dock we will be at...We are on Celebrity, so a larger ship) All suggestions appreciated!

Much appreciated! We are sailing B2B, and I really know nothing about most of our ports this trip...It's so fun and helpful to hear about everyone's experiences! Jumping into the planning stages now- Woooo hooo! -

Hello! I just came across your thread.... We are sailing Silhouette in August. Can I ask how you arranged the "meet and assist " at the airport? Thanks! I can't wait to read your whole thread! -
From other threads in the forum I am trying to get a clear picture on getting from the cruise port (I am thinking it will be Stadsgarden) to the Vasa Museum. Is going by ferry the only way to get there? I am traveling with someone who has mobility issues....If we need to take the ferry, how far is the walk to get there? It looks like there are limited daily tickets sold.....did you purchase your tickets before hand through the Vasa website? TIA

We are going to be docking in Warnemunde on a Sunday in August - We are interested in spending our day in Rostock and Warnemunde....are shops and restaurants open on Sundays? We prefer to go by private car as opposed to train or bus....Is it easy for private transfers to pick up at the dock? Is it an easy walk from Warnemunde to the ship? TIA
