Thank you!

Thanks for your response Fouremeco. I don’t drive so I booked an excursion through Viator https://www.viator.com/tours/Big-Island-of-Hawaii/Hilo-Shore-Excursion-Exclusive-Volcanoes-National-Park-and-Rainbow-Falls/d669-22796P3 We are doing 2 days in Hilo because our itinerary changed due to the fire in Lahaina. Originally we were 2 days in Oahu. Since they removed Lahaina we now have one day in Oahu leaving at midnight then cruising Napoli coast then 2 days in Hilo and a short time in Kailua before heading to Vancouver. Really looking forward to seeing everything!

Great thanks!

Could anyone tell me what the ladder is like for the solarium pool on Celebrity Edge? Are the rungs fairly wide? I’m curious how easy it is to get out of the pool for a senior. Thanks

Thanks barneyboy! Having a lounger will be perfect 😊

Thank you!!

Can anyone currently on Celebrity Edge in an SV confirm if foot stools and loungers are back on the balconies? Reading through this thread there is a lot of conflicting information. Some say foot stools and loungers are gone and some say they are back. I’m going to be on The Edge on May 1 and really looking forward to spending lots of time on the balcony. Thanks

The cabins on this deck have the lifeboats directly underneath so that’s why they say obstructed view. I stayed in a similar cabin more towards the middle of the ship. If you are looking straight out you don’t notice any obstruction. You can see the lifeboats when you are standing close to the window. I didn’t mind it at all and would stay in one of these cabins again.

Thanks!

You should be okay. Normally you can get off the ship in Vancouver around 7 or 7:30. If you don’t already have a transfer to the airport you can walk about 5 minutes to the Waterfront Station and take the Canada Line which will take you directly to the airport in 25 minutes. Just make sure you get on the train YVR Airport. It runs around every 5 minutes. There is another train called Bridgeport which does not go to the airport.

Today is check in day for the May 1-11 Celebrity Edge cruise from Honolulu to Vancouver. For some strange reason 2 pm is the earliest check in time even for suite guests. It has been confirmed with Celebrity Concierge that 2 pm is the earliest slot available for everyone. Has anyone encountered this before? Normally there are check in slots starting at 11 am. Wondering if it might be because of the late departure time of 11:59 pm or related to immigration as the ship will be arriving from Australia?

Thanks!

Thanks! I’ll check it out.

Thanks! I’ve since discovered that the ship docks at 6 am so I think you are right that it will follow traditional boarding times. I’ll board, drop my luggage and make sure I’m back for dinner.

Does anyone know what time boarding starts for sailings that have a midnight departure time? I’m doing a Hawaii to Vancouver cruise May 1. The ship departs Honolulu at midnight. Wondering if boarding will start at normal times or be later in the day because of the late departure time? Does anyone have experience with departing late evening? We don’t start our check in until March so I’m not sure what boarding times will be offered yet. Just trying to determine if I will need to store my luggage at my hotel or if I can drop off my luggage at the ship and continue sight seeing. Thanks!
