Thank you for taking us along. Happy cruising.

Thank you for the detailed trip report and so sorry about being unwell. Out of curiosity, why did you pick this itinerary and time of the year? Not being familiar with the Galapagos, was there something special about the itinerary and was the weather more favorable for you doing it when you did?

Thank you (again) for taking us along with you and the Queen. Enjoy every day...and night!

There are definitely more children on board in the summer months and a shorter cruise may have even more than usual--a quick family getaway. If I am not mistaken, if Reflection will be stopping at Coco Cay then chances are that children will be part of the passenger manifest. However, as you pointed out, Celebrity is not a children oriented cruise line and, therefore, children will not be in the majority.

What wonderful commentary and stunning photos. Thank you for sharing with us. So sorry you were not feeling A+. On another note, I was wondering how cold/warm the water was when your wife was snorkeling?

We had done the Farmhouse Experience and would not do it again. The drive, each way, was more than an hour (maybe 90 minutes) from the port along highways and then the return was the same route. You did get to see the countryside and Pisa from a distance (including the Leaning Tower). The time spent at the Farmhouse was about 90 minutes. It was just too much time in a bus for us.😊 Once at the Farmhouse entrance, you got on a 2 horse drawn open carriage for 7 minutes to the vineyard/farmhouse/gift shop/outdoor patio. The meal was unlimited red and white wine, an antipasto and a medley of different pastas. The food was okay and filling. The tables accommodated about 8 people. You had time to walk around the vineyard after eating or browse the gift shop. There were restrooms available. In our opinion, we just felt that it was mediocre. Unfortunately, the port is pretty far from main tourist attractions so a long drive is necessary wherever you choose to go. For our cruise, we came in 4 days early. We flew into Rome and hired a private car and guide and drove to Florence. On the way we stopped at Orvieto for a walking tour of the town, cistern and caverns and lunch. We spent 3 days touring Florence (on our own) with a day trip to Pisa. We then took the same car service to Civitavecchia the morning of the cruise. We were very happy to have had the opportunity to have a "land based" intensive time before the cruise knowing that the shore excursions could not give us the experiences we wanted in Florence/Tuscany.

Thank you for taking us along! Have a wonderful journey.

I appreciate the answer. Thank you.

Just out of curiosity, if both my husband and myself, are listed as shareholders, can we each apply for a credit, or is it 1 per household?

What a wonderful trip! If it isn't too much trouble could you post one pick of a daily program (including dining times)? TIA

Thank you for taking us along. Have a wonderful journey.

Could you expand a little more on the experience? Food? Drinks included or do you use your beverage package? Length of the dinner? Any entertainment besides the beautiful views? Can you get a table for 2?

Yes, you are correct. I was specifically referring to Craft Social's menu.🙃

Thank you! Your information is incredibly helpful. Everything that I was looking for was answered here in matter-of-fact prose.

Food in Craft Social would not be included in your unlimited specialty dining. I don't think that regular room service would comp the food, either. We ordered through our butler (upper level suite).
