    Following along! I love your photography and you inspire my future travels. Can't wait to follow this new adventure 🙂

    My experience has been that coffee drinks containing 'premium' alcohol (such as Bailey's) will have an upcharge - depending on the server and your frequency in the space 😉. Classic Pkg has an upper limit (mine was $10, but it may have gone up over the summer?) and some of the drinks were over that by a dollar or two.

    Wow! I just picked up the Key for my October 2024 cruise for $1/day over the internet cost 🙂 Great deals on other things, such as specialty dining lunches, as well. Thanks for the heads up.

    I can't comment on other experiences, of course. I was on Celebrity Millennium and enjoyed the trip. You could go outside and on the top deck if the surroundings inside were not to your preference. It is a long day and some time on the bus to join the ferry and return to the ship, so plan for that. We had no issues with port times, but again, this may be ship specific.

    As I recall, there were bathroom facilities at the pier awaiting the ferry and the typical facilities on the ferry itself, but I don't recall using them. At a minimum, they were unremarkable, neither bad nor exceptional. There were also facilities on the bus for the return trip. FWIW - I would this excursion again!

    Jim - I follow quietly most of the time, but wanted to thank you for the Mackinac Island pictures!! It was home to me for several summers during college and I miss the island. I would imagine the restrictions on entry to the hotel last year were Covid related as typically there's been a small fee to enjoy the porch since the early 80s.

    We were fortunate in that the excursion wasn't canceled or delayed, but they are definitely both valid concerns to be aware of when booking.

    There is a risk of cancellation with the excursion. The Canal Authority schedules the smaller boat traffic one day before and if the time doesn't fit with the ship schedule, they will cancel. Fortunately for my sailing we were able to go, but they notified us with our excursion tickets. The ferry itself is nice, with lots of seating.

    Not a rumor 😞 I was on the Millennium last week (5/19-5/26). The dessert menus were changed and listed only two 'classics' - Apple Pie and Creme Brulee. They offered Cheesecake one night and Chocolate Cake another, but otherwise they were off the menu. I asked for Cheesecake one 'off' night and they brought it for me, but YMMV in the future.

    Julie, Looking forward to following along! I just booked the reverse of this cruise and will be interested in your port activities and the experience around the horn. Please enjoy and post when you can. Jan

    Thanks for this! I've had an excursion 'system cancelled' three times and no one could tell me why. Today, I was able to book a non-World Wings version off the same excursion (first time it was available), so I'm hopeful this one sticks.

    I'll add my thanks for this wonderful review! I'll be on the Summit this fall. Your thoughts and beautiful pictures really brought this cruise to life and helped me to fill in some empty spaces in my planning.
