Hello, I will answer as best as I can. 1. Celebrity runs sales on excursions and dining. So if you book pre-cruise, you will save money. 2. Call Celebrity and request a table for 2. 3. Take as much luggage as you want. 4. You can take snacks. Never took any beverages. 5. Each port is different. Many ports are in or close to the center. Some are a distance. You can try asking on the CC boards for the info you want. 6. No reservations for shows. There are always seats available.

Melody, What a great looking group. Kat, Very festive outfit.

Go to the Bank of America website. Log in and choose the RC Visa statement. You will see a Rewards tab. You will need your booking #, ship, sail date. You can choose the amount of points you want.

Melody, Love the photo. It sure is different from my sr. photos. We all had to go to the same photo studio and had a headshot, in black and white. Times have certainly changed.

Hi Lois, I came home Thursday. I'm glad I did because as you are aware, the weather was not good Friday and Saturday. I had a great trip.

Hi Lois, Glad everything went well for you. It is probably better to give yourself a rest between procedures if it isn't urgent. Good to hear you're feeling better.

Hi Lois, Sorry to hear you were hospitalized. Glad you are home. I had a kidney stone but it passed. Now you need to get the meds situation straightened out. I am on Silhouette and coming home Thursday. This has been a wonderful trip. Melody, I hope your upcoming trip is as nice as this one e.

Do you need to spend the OBC for one cruise? I recently got a Celebrity Visa card and I don't have to use all the OBC for one sailing. The points remain and additional points accrue as you use your card.

Lois, Hope the second round of labs is favorable. Your doctor did the right thing sending you today for a re-do, especially after seeing how upset you were. Good luck.

Melody - Happy Anniversary. Very nice photos.

I also have lots of OBC so I booked some excursions and specialty restaurants. I am going to use the remainder for gratuities and the salon. Have you ever been to Granada? I was there in January and that is the only island I was not comfortable in. I walked out of the port area, took a look at the surroundings and walked right back in. I was ok just looking in the shops there.

This is my first time on Silhouette also. Melody - The ports on this cruise are St. Martin, Antigua, Dominica, Barbados and Tobago. Is this the same for your cruise?

Hope the thermal pool helps the knee along with some rest. The weather in Florida this morning is chilly and it will be the same tomorrow. I'm leaving Monday on Celebrity Silhouette, 10 night southern caribbean.

Another option is staying close to Sawgrass Mills Mall in Sunrise. There are several hotels close by and a lot of restaurants. I know people who have stayed at LaQuinta that is reasonably priced. Not too far from 595 and an easy drive to Port Everglades.

Wishing everyone a very happy Thanksgiving. Lois, Sorry to hear you are not feeling welll. Is the pain you are having around your waist? Is it severe? I had a kidney stone attack. It came on suddenly and with severe pain that didn't last long. It also caused vomiting. I drove myself to the ER, was given an ultrasound and found out I had a kidney stone. I had a second attack in the ER and was admitted. The third attack came very late that night. After that no pain. The urologist saw me the next morning and told me to drink liquids to see if I could pass the stone. I was sent home. Never saw a stone. Several weeks later, I had another U/S and the stone was gone. I also read there are several things going around other than flu. One is norovirus. If you aren't feeling better, you could try an urgent care. Some may have limited hours tomorrow.

Another option is an excursion to Liarsville Gold Rush Trail Camp. The activities on this type of excursion are a salmon bake, a show with goldrush girls and the kids can pan for gold.

As Miss Vickie mentioned, you are well past final payment date. You don't have a booking number and it sounds like you haven't given a deposit. If you want to cruise in January, you should call Celebrity directly and see what they have available for the date you want.

Welcome home, Lois. Glad you had a good trip.

I would not recommend taking 13 year olds on the train. As someone mentioned, the scenery is the same both ways. The train ride is long and involves sitting for a couple of hours. Not too much fun for 13 yr olds. I went on this excursion because so many people suggested it. Frankly, I was bored and could not wait to get off. Renting a car or asking the kids what they would be interested in would be a better option.

I am in the Ft. Lauderdale area now. This storm started Tuesday afternoon, heavy rain Tuesday night and continuing throughout Wednesday. A lot of areas received about 8 inches of rain. There was flooding in Ft. Lauderdale and flood warnings throughout So. Fla. It was also very windy. It is starting to clear but there is a wind advisory until later this afternoon.

That looks delicious. I'll have to try this.

Lois, Have a wonderful and safe trip. Cute shoe, different with the silver heel.

Woburn (north of Boston) has a Logan Express. There are several hotels very close to the bus. Very convenient and easy. Hotels are close to I95.

I saw this on the news tonight. I enjoyed watching him on Friends. That show never gets old. Sad because he overcame many health issues. RIP

Melody, Sorry to hear this about your family and Les's friend's sister. My condolences to you and your family.
