Also most of the TA's use to be 14 or 15 day cruises also . We do have some longer cruises booked in 2023-24 (TP's)

I do have to say as long as I have know Iain's relatives I still have a hard time following all the conversation. They use some words at times I don't understand but get the idea of what's said by the context. Couple examples - Och aye - for yea or yes I’ll gie ye a skelpit lug! - I'll give you a slap on the ear Keep the heid! - Calm down

I've never used them but have had a policy with them or years. It does give a certain feeling of protection.

Celebrity usually offers shuttles at the end of the cruise and you could use your credit for that. If you have lots left over you can have the excursion department book a Limo for you.

Have you noticed that almost all the 14 cruises have disappeared.

On the Slot machines you click the little window and create an account. You log onto the account and click account. You can then click transfer and transfer money from your room account to your slot machine.

Yes. I believe the only ones that are not covered are the special dinners e.g. the Taj dinner often held in Sushi on 5.

Thanks. Definitely hit Scotland. I would have to say the people are some of the most friendly warm folks you will ever have an opportunity to meet. I really get a kick out of the old Scottish expressions you see. We are off to Dumries House (restored by Prince Charles trust) today for hiking and a family dinner.

Wow... that's really nice. Wonder how it will hold up to the demand.

Yea... I just saw this new threat that masks are required on Apex after infections surpassed 3%

This was asked some time ago in 2008 and nothing negative was ever posted.

It's pretty easy. I got one yesterday. It has turned into a money making opportunity for many. Just Google - Covid Recovery Certificate Just send in a Copy of you Passport and a PCR or Antigen Test Results showing when and where you tested Positive. Most sites require you to wait 10 days from initial positive results as that is what the U.S. requires, but have seen some as early as 5 days. You pay the fee 29 Pounds to 99 Pounds and you receive your certificate between 15 minutes to 1 day from submission (Often depending on price paid).

Of course --- Anything less than 6 courses would be a disappointment. My favorite is always desert and I wasn't disappointed. Ice Cream made with Coconut Milk it was incredible. Iain said no - problem Wine is Vegan as well as beer.

I definitely was not stranded. Celebrity for me was of no assistant and all I had to do is get on Google and was able to handle everything. My understanding is Italy can be a bit of a challenge if you are put in a Italian Covid Hotel. I think it depends on where you are. UK there are no restriction so is totally voluntary with the exception of having to test 1 day prior to Flight back to the US or COR. COR's have become a money maker for many and hundreds of on-line sites with fees of 29 to 99 UK Pounds. I obtained one yesterday and it was delivered in 2 hours. Some provide in as short as 15 minutes.

Thanks Bo --- taking a look. Was thinking of you last night. My BIL who is Vegan cooked a fantastic Meal for our pleasure last night. Delicious and am sure very nutritional. I'm going to have to start trying some of his recipes when we get home.

Celebrity will no longer be covering land based quarantine and safe passage home if tested positive For all Celebrity cruises scheduled to sail from the European Union or the United Kingdom between May 1, 2022 and November 30, 2022, inclusive, if you test positive for COVID-19 during the voyage: • Celebrity will cover the cost of necessary COVID-19 related medical treatment onboard the ship; • you and members of your Traveling Party may stay onboard the ship to complete any required quarantine period, without needing to pay additional cruise fare, stateroom gratuities or taxes/fees to Celebrity for the same; and • Celebrity will assist with coordinating travel arrangements to get you and members of your Traveling Party back home, but will not be responsible for any associated costs.
