Is there an easy way to see what cabins are still available on sailings? I normally just go through the “online “ booking process and see what it shows-Just was wondering if their was a quicker method (besides using a travel agent)……Thanks!

If you go to the Celebrity website and type in Private Journey, it will bring you to the page with phone numbers and email... I believe this is the email -privatejourneys@celebrity.com. After I submitted my requests, it did take a few days to hear back.

It is priced per vehicle. Just tell them what you are looking for and they will make it work for you. Reach out to PJ and see what they can put together for you....It couldn't hurt!

That is exactly how we felt...It was seamless. We were able to choose what time we wanted to leave/depart.....The concierge in Michael's Club walked us out (when they had confirmation the driver was there) and passed us off to the tour guide. There were always two people in the car-one to drive, and the other to guide. No stress, no need to get up super early, and no anxiety with wondering if the tour guide would show up. Have fun on your trip!

I think it will depend on the port and what we want to do...I will probably start with TBL, then see what Viator offers. I have had a few glitches with Viator in the past, so I would be more likely to book with PJ. If cost is not a consideration, then I would use PJ. What I did this trip was see what excursions were offered by both the ship and Viator-Then put together what I wanted to see/do, and sent it to PJ for a quote.

We just returned from our cruise on the Constellation to Italy, Croatia and Montenegro. On our previous cruises we have always used Tours By Locals or Viator. This time, I was having difficulties getting some things scheduled for tours. I submitted what we were looking for to PJ…. They responded relatively quickly and answered all my questions. Were the tours more expensive then TBL or Viator? Yes…. By a good amount. BUT- Everything went smoothly from beginning to end. We met at our given time in Michaels Club where we were escorted off the ship and brought to the tour guide- No stress of wondering if the guide would be where they said they would be, and no worries about getting back to the ship on time. The guides were knowledgeable, engaging, and did everything they could to make sure we had a wonderful day. Just wanted to share our positive experience for any others who may be looking for other options 🙂

Agree…the balconies are deal breakers for us.

First time cruising NCL…. What is the outlet situation in the balcony cabins? Thanks

We are docking in Ravenna....Staying at the St Regis in Venice. It never dawned on me the distance from port to hotel 😞 Any suggestions for things to see along the way?

We are needing to arrange a private transfer from the ship to our hotel in Venice…… Any recommendations? How long is the drive? Thank you!

I have a health issue that I use a heating pad for to help with my symptoms. I have always brought my pad onto the ship and never had it confiscated. I’d like to try to find something that I can use instead…… Has anyone else found/use an alternative? Wireless heating pad?

We are sailing on the Constellation next month and can not recall the outlet situations (next to bed and/or European plugs)….We will be in a Royal suite… thanks!

Has anyone done any winery tours in the Messina area? We have been to this port previously and are hoping for something different then Taormina and Mt Etna…. Tia!

We sailed on the Apex last Feb in a Royal suite and the balcony was very disappointing…. Barely room for a small table next to my chair and the whole outdoor feeling was very claustrophobic-

Just wondering if by any chance Celebrity has added/changed up the horrible lack of (IMO) balconies with the suites with the E class ships?

Do any suites have dining room tables in them? Not just coffee tables. Which ships? Thanks!

Can anyone please share which suites on which ships have a dining table? Not just a coffee table. Thanks so much!

We sailed b2b on Eclipse for AU/NZ…… disembarked on 11/14- The internet was horrible

I had thought the Constellation had been revolutionized, but I don’t see it on the website- We are sailing on her next July and was just curious. When/is it planned? Thanks!

Can you buy casino chips on your credit card? Just trying to carry a smaller amount of cash with us-Thanks!

Thanks for clarification…. Milford, Doubtful and Dusky

For those who have sailed through the Sounds, what was your experience like? Did you see a lot of wildlife? Weather permitting, did you sit out on deck or on your balcony (if your cabin had one)….Just curious!

We will be sailing on b2b cruises…. Australia and New Zealand. The ship sails from Sydney- Our gratuities are already prepaid, but we always tip extra. Which currency should we use? Thanks!

For those who do b2b cruises, do we check in online for the second cruise? Thanks!

What type of plug outlets are near the nightstands on the Eclipse? I can’t remember if we need adapters- Thank you!
