  1. Thanks. We were last on Infinity October 2019. We have prior to that have been on Constellation, but this will be our first cruise since that October '19 one. Neither Infinity or Constellation are reported to have been 'Revolutionized', but with ships out of service and dry docks,  I thought some changes might have made.

  2. Yeah. We were quoted €350 car and driver for a one way Venice to Ravenna. We changed our flight to Bologna and will train to Venice for the day and take a car to Ravenna from Bologna. Haven't got a price for that yet, but it's only about an hour.

    Is taxi the only option you would consider? You could rent a car, you could take the train, you could get a Celebrity transfer excursion, you could hire a local tour service to drive you and drop you off, you could share a limo with others, ...

    My 2021 cruise that would have been through Ravenna was cancelled, what I was planning and what I will do if we get back there is to stay a couple of days extra at the start; 2-3 nights in Venice, train to Ravenna, 2-3 days there.

    Stan.

    Have you checked the train timetables? They all had at least one change of trains and most had two.

    I'd escalate this. A letter to the CEO from you, copy your travel agent. You don't have anything to lose. If you can piece together anything that confirms you requested a real balcony (confirmation from your canceled cruise of a real balcony), I'd include it. This is not a new issue to them. Good luck. 

    I agree. I had an issue several years ago of an attractive rate listed on the Celebrity site for a FV that went up each time I tried to book it. When I saw it again, I screen shot it and attached it to an email to Lisa Lutoff-Perlo. Got a response from an assistant and made the fare happen.

  5. I see the Celebrity site still says: 'Based upon conditions or regulations in the countries you will visit, you may be required to go ashore on a shore excursion provided by Celebrity Cruises.' For Italy any word or experience that this has been relaxed? Also, did this apply to any shore experience (walking around) or just to excursions?

  6. A restaurant critic that I followed here in L.A. always said to never go to a new restaurant until they've been open at least six months, or maybe it was a year. It takes that long to get all of the kinks out. I would apply that to a new cruise ship too. I would pass on a maiden voyage.
