My sister and I always sailed on the SS Norway for the Jazz Cruise. Great memories!

We hadn't thought about taking the cruise shore excursion offered in another language. Will take another look. Our main objective is avoiding the cable car line. Thank you!

RCCL Odyssey of the Seas shore excursion for Island of Santorini and Oia Village is sold out for September 2024 cruise. Are there any alternative companies that we can use for this excursion?

Did you use Cortrans to get back to the airport?

I think we’re going to stay at a MCO hotel near the airport and book a shuttle from the hotel to the port and back to the airport after the cruise. Thank you for your input.

Hello, we are booked on a September Utopia of the Seas sailings and flying into Orlando a day early. We're looking for a hotel that provides shuttle service from the airport as well as shuttle service to the cruise port. Royal Caribbean just gave us an email address for Priceline hotels and suggested we call the hotel(s) to inquire if they have shuttle service. Cruise critic members are more helpful! TIA.

Interested in the Ruins, stop at a farm house and cheese making - not so much. 🤔

Does anyone have a review of the RCCL Ruins of Pompeii excursion? We will be cruising on the Oasis of the Seas and this excursion sounds interesting. TIA.

I sailed on Celebrity Beyond in December and noticed quite a few people coughing and sneezing and not covering their mouths. I also noticed quite a few sick hosts/hostesses and wait staff in the dining rooms. I wore a mask the majority of the time and noticed others wearing one. A retail clerk in one of the ship's shops told me that several crew members had COVID and management wouldn't allow staff to wear masks. I overheard a woman tell her partner that she had told others in their group that she had COVID. Fortunately, I didn't get it! I will continue to cruise but will wear a mask when I'm in a crowd.

Has anyone taken the Celebrity Beyond Destination Highlight: Panoramic Island Drive excursion in George Town, Grand Cayman? We booked the tour and its 4 hrs 30 min. The excursion includes a stop at the Seven Mile Beach for snacks, a drink, and photo taking at the beach. Wondering how much time you actually stay at the beach and if we should take our bathing suits. All of the beach excursions are sold out. Thanks!

Thank you so much!

The ship docks at 7:00 a.m. in Civitavecchia and, so far, the only direct flight back to Chicago leaves at 11:05 a.m. Is that doable?

We're arriving at LAX airport and don't want to rent a car. We're seeking recommendations for the best way to get from LAX Airport to San Pedro, CA. Thank you.

I'm booked to stay at the Crowne Plaza in San Pedro pre-cruise. This will be my first time at this hotel and cruising out of Los Angeles. May I ask why you chose to stay at the Westin in Long Beach instead of the Crowne Plaza for your December cruise?

Is this the Margaritaville Hollywood Beach Resort? Looks nice!
