Thank you.

We also have a post-cruise Celebrity Land Tour and within the itinerary description for the last day in Fairbanks, it does say (see below) that the Tour Director will provide transfers to the airport as part of the tour. I do have a question about routine meals, are they all included? I saw mention of two meals "on our own". So, should we assume all others are included? Fly Out- Fairbanks: Your Tour Director will see that you are transferred to the Fairbanks airport for your flight home. * Tours and activities as described, other than optional activities and meals, are included in your Cruisetour vacation. Tour arrival times are tentative and are subject to change. All properties are subject to change for properties of a similar quality.

Hopefully someone can answer this question. (I do have an email out to our TA, but meanwhile.) We are booked on a Celebrity Alaska Land Tour 8A this August. I see mention of only two times within the itinerary description of the tour of a "meal on our own". Does that mean that all other meals, B, L and D, are included and provided during the tour?

Another cool bar is the Southport Raw Bar. It’s all the way at the west end of the channel that Boatyard sits on. It’s a Lauderdale classic joint. Nothing fancy, but a fun historical locale, If you have no dinner plans, check it out. http://www.southportrawbar.com/index.html

Yes, that’s it. They must have shortened the name, been going there for years. Maybe they still have it, a lovely Sunday brunch. I even have a tee shirt, but who doesn’t! 🙃. In celebration, one day, we downed one too many margaritas there after buying a Tiara at Bertram Marine that was a few doors down the channel.

When you say The Boatyard, is that the Bimini Boatyard on 17th Street? Did they change the name?

Ditto with us. See you on board!

Time to do the Stingray Shuffle 🙂

Maybe they’ll just have dessert? 😉

We love cruising, don’t get me wrong. But we have gone the Eurail way for several trips to Europe, including travel to Russia and Scandinavian countries. As others have mentioned, if you want to spend time and have a more intimate experience in places like Munich, Paris, Berlin, Prague, Brussels and the like, take Eurail. The trains run like clockwork, unless there is an issue, which is pretty seldom. Make first class bookings and use overnight trains when you can. For instance, we left Barcelona around 7 pm, dinner on the train, slept very comfortably in our sleeper cabin, and arose at 6 in Paris! Had breakfast on the train, taxied to our hotel we had booked in advance, and began our day strolling the Seine by 9 am. Of course, you must limit your luggage. We often saw folks with two huge bags each, which you have to lug on and off the train and may need to put in an overhead. So, limit yourself to one bag, airline carryon size, and be prepared to do laundry, often 😃. One plus, no worries that someone will see you in the same outfit if you happen to wear it for two, maybe three, days in a row!

So true!

I hope. Right now, nights 2 and 10 are Chic.

I will bet we may end up with another night as Chic Night though. 15 nights pretty much means three.

Funny you should ask because I had to ask how to see it on the App. Open the App, and click on the “Day 1” drop down at the top of the page for your cruise. Each day of your cruise will be listed in the drop down. Select a day, and in the banner at the top of the Daily Planner page, you should see attire for that evening. You can also see the dress code at the bottom of the page in the banner, without having to open the Daily Planner. To see another day, though, you need to go back to the first page of your cruise, and hit the “day” drop down again, and then select another day. Kind of a pain, but that’s the only way I could get my app to accurately show me the dress code.

Panama Canal on Millie this week

Our 15 night’er has only two, from what I understand.

Not sure is there is a difference, but DH now only gets smoothies in Blu during breakfast. He’s never complained.

geez

DH has similar experience years ago on a fishing trip with the guys in Eleuthera. A guy with maybe two teeth was opening beers. How many teeth does your lovely waiter have? 🙂

We have a funny story from 2018 on the Millennium. DH went to a hottub before breakfast, with a plan we would meet in Spa Cafe for breakfast. When we met up, he had two smoothies in front of him. I was a bit puzzled because he didn't have his seapass with him and wondered how he was able to get the smoothies without his card. He said they were on the counter, so he just helped himself. He then began to consume one of the smoothies, noting it was pretty thick, gummy and tasteless. He went on to finish the first smoothie and when he started on the second, suddenly the Spa Cafe chef and a staff member from the Spa Cafe appeared at our table stating..."OMG! Here they are! Did you eat these?" Turns out....they were DISPLAY Samples!!!!!!! Needless to say he stopped eating them, they took down our cabin number and name, and they told DH to drink a lot of water with lemon throughout the day. Fortunately, nothing in the samples was life threatening, and he survived. This is probably our funniest cruise story that continues to generate some great laughter!

Who is your Captain and Cruise Director?

I also think it depends upon the Captain. We’ve been where the Captain acknowledges staff members for longevity of service, etc., as well as any new Zenith passengers. But some are in and out in minutes.

We love those cabins! Good for you!
