  1. I don't know for sure.....we were in a CS on last year's Eclipse spring TA and never heard anything....

     

     

     

    But we were also in a CS on THIS year's Reflection spring TA and received an email about a week or so before the cruise from the shoreside concierge.

     

     

     

    So hit or miss I guess...

     

     

     

    We are again in a CS on the Equinox this fall so we'll what happens this time....:)

     

     

    Thanks. I just wondered. We are in a CS on Sunday but haven't heard anything. Not a big deal- I'll just be happy to get on board :)

  2. I'm not sure about embarkation day, but the concierge has a shore excursions agent come to Michael's during the cruise to work with people privately. We've always pre-booked, but if we had wanted to book a shore excursion, it would have been a nice way to do it (sipping a drink in MC in comfy chairs with a private agent :)).

     

     

     

    Maybe you could ask about that when you receive your pre-cruise email asking about your wants and needs.

     

     

    Does the pre cruise email only apply to royal suites and above?

  4. Understood, but the transaction was in sterling on the payment screen. Other amenities I try to purchase if I log into my booking are very clearly marked as as $ purchases. But the transaction I did was via the UK website using the link highlighted in this thread, where I selected gifts to purchase, was asked to enter booking details and then forwarded to payment page for a sterling transaction. Had it been in $ I wouldn't have proceeded. I'd usually book the cruise in the UK but on this occasion it was less than 50% less to book from the USA. I will pursue a refund.

     

     

    The same thing has happened to me. I would understand if I had been quoted in $ but the screen I checked out in was in sterling. My email from celebrity now shows the purchase in US$. Very confusing- should be more explicit online.

  5. I've never done those ports on a cruise. Make sure to look up local laws just to be familiar with them as you can't drink alcohol outside hotel rooms or kiss in public & many other things in a lot of those areas.

     

     

    We have been to all the cities except Khasab before. We are still not booked as not completely decided (my husband tends not to rush into things!). Really enjoying your review. I've never been to Venice - it's top of my list ATM. Hopefully this summer :)

  6. I am in a Neptune suite on the noordam on it's current voyage. I can honestly say the service we are receiving is fantastic. Cold towels and drinks have been at all ports so far. Coffee machine in lounge is working perfectly. Neptune lounge staff are amazing. We have been truly spoilt. I would be honest in my opinion. We have travelled extensively and usually book concierge lounge rooms in hotels, so we have a lot to compare to. I have not taken wifi on the ship(trying to get away from work and relax) If anyone has questions I will answer when I get a chance!

  7. Oh dear, we board Noordam on Sunday..............in a Neptune Suite! This is our first time on HAL and I am really looking forward to it. I hope the last few days of your cruise pick up a bit and you receive the service you deserve.

     

    I will probably be on our balcony most of the time watching the world go by :)
