How was the food overall?  I know Blu restaurants are very good but the rest?

We're considering this cruise from Vancouver to Tokyo for 15 nights on the Celebrity Millinium on Sept. 6.  We've done a previous cruise to the Mediterranean on the Silhouette AquaClass and it set the bar very high.  We loved it.  We're wondering if this 15 night might be too long on the Millinium as it seems to be a smaller ship.

I'm prone to sea sickness, had no problem at all on the Mediterranean voyage with the calm waters in Sept.   The ports of call are Sitka, AK , Otaru and Hakodate, Tokyo, Japan with 8 consecutive days at sea.  Can anyone advise as to what we can expect on this voyage in relation to the waters, ship amenities etc. before we book it?  

We will be disembarking in Honolulu and need to get to the airport for a noon flight to Maui. Can we prebook a direct shuttle or taxi that is not a milk run route and can we book on the ship or before we board the ship on Sept 24 given we don't yet know what time we'll be allowed to disembark? Can anyone recommend a reliable company that is not too expensive ? Can this be done while on the ship at the Concierge desk?

Do you mean 6 - 8 drinks per day per person?

My husband and I are booked on the Noordam for 11 nights departing Sept 24, 2017. We can't decide whether or not to pre-purchase the Signature Beverage Package which is maximum of 15 drinks per day, none over $9.00US. The agent quoted us $568 per person. It seems incredibly high and I can't find a price list on line anywhere. Is it worth considering NOT buying the package and buying drinks individually or is the hassle-free option of not having to think about what we're ordering it worth the big cost? Would we have to pay for all coffees, bottle waters, soft drinks etc at lunches and dinners?:confused:

In that case, would we make a 12:10pm flight?

We're arriving in the Port of Honolulu on Oct 5 at 8:00am on the HAL Noordam. We then want to take a flight from Honolulu airport to Maui where we'll be staying. We'd like to stay on the ship as long as possible so if we disembark around 10:00am, what time should we book at flight to Maui on Hawaiian airlines? We were thinking a noon flight but not sure if that gives us enough time to get to the airport? Would a 1:00 or 2:00 fight be better and are their airport shuttles from the port?

We're considering a 15 night cruise that ends in Abu Dhabi but a flight home would leave the same day we disembark in Abu Dhabi. Our flight would be at 9:00am. Is it possbile to leave the ship very early around 5:30 or 6:00am to catch the flight? Will Celebrity let us check out very early? We actually arrive into port of Abu Dhabi 2 days earlier but want to spend the last night on the ship to avoid booking a hotel our last night. Disembarking at 5:30 or 6:00am would solve our dilemma. Does anyone know?

I've booked a cruise via an online agency on the Royal Princess Oct 11, 2017. We paid $1799.00US each before taxes for a Deluxe Balcony stateroom, view without obstructions. Now I'd like to be able to find a site that will send me price drop alerts specifically for my cruise and for deluxe balconies. There's so much fluctuation betweens websites, it's very difficult to find a site that will give me an alert specifically for Deluxe Balcony and not just a balcony cabin. Any suggestions?

We're currently booked on the Royal Princess in a Deluxe Balcony cabin with an unobstructed view on the Emerald Deck,deck 8, room E204 cat DF on Oct 11, 2017 sailing to the mediterranean. I've been known to suffer from seasickness and this is only my 2nd cruise. I'm wondering if this cabin will be ok or is best to change cabins to section DC (cabins E210-E224) without losing our unobstructed view? Would this move to the slightly more mid ship make a difference and even worth the change for potential seasickness prevention?

We've booked a 10 night cruise on the Royal Princess, mediterranean, Rome, Croatia, etc ending in Barcelona. We have a deluxe balcony room on Deck 8, room E204. It's only my 2nd cruise having done Celebrity Silhouette in Sept where we were mid ship uppper deck. I tend to suffer from sea sickness so want to know if this room will be ok for me or is it recommended we change it now while we stilll can?

We're first time cruisers and we're arranging for a tour shuttle to pick us up at the port and take us on a day tour of Rome before we check into our hotel in Rome. We have no idea what time to tell them to pick us up. What time are you required to leave your room for check out and debarkation and are we allowed to have breakfast beforehand? Does it make a difference if we're in an Aqua Class cabin? I believe our ship arrives at 5:00am in Rome on Oct 8th. We were thinking telling them to meet us around 9:30, is that too late?

I've read that outlets are limited in the staterooms on some cruises. We're taking a cruise on the Celebrity Silhouette and wonder if it might be a good idea to pack an extension cord. Are they allowed?

Are we allowed to bring food or sandwiches from the ship on our tours and are there ice machines on board, is ice available for free?

Someone else just told me that the Flex dining is not the same food offered in the main dining room?

My husband and I are going on a 14 night eastern Mediterranean cruise with Celebrity Silhouette in Sept. 2016. We've already booked for early dining at 6:15 but now are rethinking of switching to Flex dining to give us more leeway given that we have tours booked. Can we expect to have to line up for seating if we switch to Flex dining? Is it worth doing?
