Is that our wonderful virtual cruise finished? :( :(

Thanks for inviting us to join you. :cool: :D

I don't mind a bit of runniness but I also like the exterior slightly crisp.:D

Sorry but an omelette must be cooked through and not served 'slabbery'

We loved walking through this area and photographing it !

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

We think that this is the city hall and it's flowers

 

 

 

I love these photos. What a beautiful place. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks for your concern. After a few days of tearing my eye was fine. They tend toward dryness normally so I wasn't too bothered. I will try to remember to bring moisturizing drops on my next trip.

If this happens again. Get some boiled water, add a pinch of salt, let it cool, bathe or irrigate your eyes with the cooled saline (salt water). If you cover the container the saline will last 24 hours.

Wind turbines everywhere, :D

If only our government would see the way of the future is renewable energies.:(

My husband hates the wind turbines. He says they waste our Scottish landscapes.

I love the sculptures. And I would say the spider was from the war of the world.

I'm loving my free cruise too!! :D

All S class cabins, inside, oceanview and balcony, are all the same size, big. :cool:

Family cabins and suites are larger.

Normal balconies are of a good size they have room for two recliner chairs and a table that's big enough to dine from. Some balconies are larger eg side of the hump balconies, some aft balconies and of course suites.

And then was time to leave the beautiful cliffs and move on . We went inland and higher in elevation , into some woods making some short stops on the way . I love these bell shaped flowers but have no idea of what they are .

 

 

 

I think that we were Sintra and there seemed to be a number of castle like structures in the area .

 

 

 

 

 

 

We then stopped at the Seteais Palace where they were having a wedding .

It was just finishing as we arrived and time for photos .

 

 

 

It has a commanding view of the city below

 

 

 

And through the arch , you can see the Castle in the distance

 

 

 

The Pena National Palace

 

 

 

It has a interesting history and is a UNESCO World Heritage site .

Again beautiful photos.

The flowers are foxgloves. They are beautiful but as others have said they are poisonous. Mind you I have two in my back garden one is the same colour as your photo and the other white with purple dots inside. We don't have young children or animals.

On all the lists provided by Celebrity, especially the recently posted comparison chart between classic and premium it shows Bailey's Irish Cream available on the Classic package. A new pic review of the Solstice cruise this summer contains a post showing a dessert menu from the MDR with available spirits and Baileys is listed with a price of $9...isn't that above the classic limit for liqueurs? We're sailing this September on Solstice and were under the impression our two favorite liqueurs, Baileys and Cointreau would be covered under the Classic package but now I'm confused...anyone have any experience lately of having these covered under classic?

Thanks all

Cathy

These are also my favourite drinks :D they were available on the classic drinks package last Oct. French martini was not included in the classic package but I managed to have several! :cool: just get to know your bar person, smile and be nice to the bar staff. ;)

Make sure the drinks list you have is not one for their ships sailing from Southampton, UK. They add the gratuities onto the drinks price list but increase the price of drinks available on the classic package.

I'm loving this cruise review via photos. :D

I've already booked next years cruise. The perk was $600 OBC but my TA gave me three prices for the same cabin with flights included £1995pp or £1890 pp both with $600 OBC or £1590 without OBC. No brainier, I booked the cheapest as the difference in price is more than $600 (approx £400).

You pay top $$ for the 'free' perks. People should be given the choice, perk or no perk.

Can anyone tell us if there is a Secondo Bacio (or a bar where you can purchase premium coffees in the buffet area) on Eclipse?

 

TIA

Sandra

The Eclipse has Cafe Al Bacco on deck 5 midship. They serve speciality teas and coffees with free cake/sandwiches and cookies to sit in or takeaway.

You can buy a non-alcohol drinks package which includes the above and also coke, lemonade etc and bottled water.

I've seen this format for weeks on my iPad.

Once you learn how it navigate it's easy.

up grade her to her former glory but not boring beige.

add a bistro on 5 but please do not solstize her or get rid of her.

the M class ships have, IMO, not been solsized that well. I love all three classes M, S and C s each has their own identity but changing one class to be another just doesn't work.

add another similar sized ship to their portfolio

she does have a wrap around deck.

she is a lovely friendly ship with great food and service.

Murano's is the only specialty restaurant and so worth a visit or two. the food is superb and the service amazing.

can you not take some sterilizing milton tablets or liquid with say a large Tupperware box. mix one tablet/liquid with water and steep your babies bottles/teats/dummies. the made up liquid lasts 24 hours.

if you cannot do this then ask your cabin butler if he/she can sterilize the bottles etc every day.

your waiter will go to cafe bianco for your latte, cappuccino, hot chocolate etc. just let him know when you order your sweet to give him time to run down to the cafe.

you will be able to get these type of coffees etc 24/7 no matter where you are sitting/eating within the ship. the only time you cannot get them free with your package is with room service.

you can get all the drinks from your drinks package anywhere on the ship.
