  1. Hi we have found that if we ask it will be brought to the table, but we usually just have a nice port with our cheeses and then move to a nice bar. Although I have been known to ask for a cognac. You should not have any issues enjoy your cruise.
  2. Hello my TA has advised me to not take the book later option but to actually mak a booking on board. The reason is that once I have booked on board I can change or move the booking Innumerable times. But the book later option only allows me to book a cruise at a future date at that particular price , then if I want to change that booking I will be liable for any change fees. I am in the UK so it may be different elsewhere
  3. Hi we booked the Oct 14 to oct 22 sailing and originally it was to sail from Istanbul to Athens but has now been chartered. So we are now from to Istanbul. Where the ship sails after that is anyone’s guess
  4. Hi Charla, fantastic review as always I recently followed a celebrity cruiser doing a Cunard cruise and comparing each. He posted a link on the Cunard board for those that wished to follow along, as you seem quite tech savvy I am sure you can do that so the MCs cruisers can follow your fantastic cruising blogs. You really make it seem like we are all sailing with you, we sailed last September for the first time in a sky suite. Needless to say all our 6 future cruises have been upgraded. But I am determined to keep my dear wife away from the suites with the big brown doors, enjoy you next leg
  5. Hi Jim have a look at the Riverside Hotel on Las Olas has great reviews and the corner tower rooms look really nice
  6. We used a similar promo some years ago, and it was the first time we had ever arrived and departed on the day of a cruise.Everything went very smoothly. I have checked my old files and the plane arrived at FCO around 13-15. Celebrity staff were waiting they directed us to leave our cases and the coaches were waiting out side the airport. We were on board by 3-30 and it all went well. please also remember that you are using Flights by Celebrity and most passengers will be sailing and if there are any delays they will hold the ship or should do. IMHO you will be fine.
  7. Forgot to add, the corner balcony is huge and on deck 9 no obstructed views. This was our first time in a suite, loved Michaels club and Cranston was great. We enjoyed it so much that we upgraded all our next sailings to suites, no way back it seems. Have just got to keep my wife away from those suites with the big brown doors. 😱👍
  8. Hello we were in 9376 on the reflection in September, the cabin and balcony were fantastic here are some pictures
  9. If your wife is struggling the why not drop her off with the luggage and then you go and park your car. She can just sit , watch the world go by and wait for you.
  10. Hi I think we sailed with you both in 2018 did you go on the Silvermoon in Barbados in any event I am sorry for your loss and having lost my spouse understand the the pain you will be feeling. One thing I remember was a friend telling me not be sad that she has gone but be happy that she was here. God Bless.
  11. On the S class ships Luminae shares the galley with the MDR so choosing from that menu is not usually a problem. Totally different on Edge class ships because Luminae has its own separate galley/kitchen
  12. Have a look at this: https://www.resortpass.com/hotels/marriott-fort-lauderdale-airport?utm_source=google-paid&utm_medium=paid-search&utm_campaign=T_Search_NB-Hotels-Dynamic&gclid=CjwKCAiA8OmdBhAgEiwAShr40zvsN0LcVSK27W4jJvfqzToWUC9OArSHeeoo6RSJHijf8sux7AddUBoCR0sQAvD_BwE it is the Marriott Ft Lauderdale airport. They have a shuttle and you can grab breakfast use the lounge maybe worth just giving them a call and ask to have breakfast and then chill in the lounge.
  13. Nice to see you again keep well, but I much preferred the pink shorts you wore on the Reflection. (Only kidding) 😂😂😂I love your humour.
  14. Has anyone given a thought that it may well be X starting the rumours to gauge the re-action. Or is that me being cynical 😱😱😂😂
  15. Hello have stayed at this hotel https://www.hotelducadalba.com/en/ it is very near the Colosseum and close to the metro. Just a heads up hotel prices in Rome have sky rocketed since Covid
  16. If your sailing is the 9 Oct sailing Rhodes and Mykonos are ports that you can do on your own. The ship docks right outside Rhodes town and it is an easy walk into the walled city. Mykonos is lovely to walk around there is a bus from the tender stop to the town. We walked along the sea front had a walk around the town had some lunch on the sea front and took the bus back to the ship. There is a tour to Delphi that I may do next time but only if the ship does it due to timing. There are a few excursions in Santorini but there is one that leaves the ship first and takes you by boat to another part of the Island and you are bussed back to the ship. We took the hop on hop off bus tour in Malta and really enjoyed it. When we stopped in Athens we hired a driver for the half day tour which was really enjoyable. We used PK Tours https://www.pktravelgreece.com/private-shore-tours I notice they also do a tour in Katakolon. hope this helps 👍😎
  17. There are 2 sky suites now available the ar3 S3 cabin on the magic carpet but wow the prices
  18. These cruise really sell out very quickly, I booked as soon as the-sailing was released and even then I only had a choice of about 6 suites. So very glad we booked when we did. There are only 9 Aqua class cabins available which includes Blu. As a suite guest you could dine in Blu and invite your friends into Luminae for a fee of I think $50 pp. After final payment or even before if a suite opens up they could upgrade but just looking at the pricing we booked our SS1 for less than the price for an Aqua cabin. Why not join the roll call 👍
  19. Hi thanks for your input, I would be interested to hear about the great suite pricing on Seabourn and Oceania that go through the canal. The dining experience in Laminae is from our experience good. We also like Blu. Azamara has great dining in Aquilina and Prime C. But the pppd rates are about the same as Celebrity, in a suite. Nebver felt the need to move across to Seabourn but I hear it is equally as good as Celebrity. I would love to hear about the great deals on Seabourn as we may just give them a try.
  20. Me neither have a great day and enjoy you next sailing 👍😇🛳
