My cruise is fully booked so there is no way on Gods green earth there will be a price reduction.

We are on the same cruise and yes looks totally booked except for one suite and one inside cabin. It will be interesting to see when final payment time comes. I currently have a gty booking so “shot in the dark here’!

Jim and SailFish,

Thank you both for answering my question regarding Chefs Dinner. It looks amazing. I hope we are able to be fortunate enough to sign up for this on our sailing in April!

I can’t believe how low the water is in Ketchikan!

I am anxious to hear about the chefs table experience. I do have a question, are you able to sign up for this prior to boarding the ship or must one wait until after boarding? Thanks!

Love reading your posts, brings back memories from my Alaska trips! You both look like you are having a great time! Enjoy and thank you for such a great “virtual cruise” you are providing me!

Great photos! Isn’t is so beautiful in Alaska! Enjoying following along!

Thank you!

Amazing review! I went to Triplelights website and attempted to find a guide/tour for Kyoto that will pick me up at the ship terminal in Kobe. I believe when I read your review Ken did that for your group?

From what I saw on the website I couldn’t see where I could request they pick me up in Kobe? How did the young woman from London arrange this? Thanks!

Following along. I will be on the Japan Explorer in April!

I guess I will find out in April! I just booked my air through Celebrity’s choice air as it was over $1000 cheaper than any other airfare I researched.

Thank you very much ShipFish! I truly appreciate it and will look for some guides to Kyoto as I would love to travel there while in port at Kobe. Your thread here has been helpful and I have even placed some of the imparted wisdom from you into my “notes” on my ipad!

I will be traveling in April on Celebrity’s Japan sailing. I am not afraid to take trains etc, but would like to know is it safe enough to explore on my own as a single woman or should I obtain a guide or organized tour. Thank you!

Following, as I would love to do this trip someday! Thank you for doing this thread!

I had this cabin when we went to Alaska. You should LOVE this cabin. Not noisy from the sunset bar, that I noticed anyway and I usually sail aft cabins, so don't really notice movement.

Do a search on CC under the Celebrity board and you will find photos and more information for this cabin.

That was a great shot of her!

I am watching as my sis is on the Veendam. She said reason for delay was fuel issues.

I agree about how this webcam is not even close to how awesome port Everglades!!

Thank you for sharing the link. Was so much fun watching her sail out!

Looking forward to her coming back to Ft. Lauderdale as that is when I will be boarding her for the Panama Canal transit to San Diego!!!

Thanks for asking this question! I looked up Kelly's Landing and Kelly's it is for us! Looks yummy.. Lobster rolls!!!! Now I have to wait 30 days before I can get it!

Bump as there have been others inquiring of this port.

Subscribing! Love your report and all the fabulous photos. Really enjoyed your detailed description of the "cross the equator ritual". Looking forward to more to come!

Last March when sailing Celebrity out of Miami I accidentally left all of our paper cruise documents on the desk following check out and did not realize it until we were on the shuttle enroute to the port! I frantically began uploading everything into my I notes. However when we arrived at the terminal and the security requesting to see our tickets as well as everyone else's almost denied us going up to where we could get to the check in!

I showed our ticket reservation on the Iphone but had to do a lot of quick talking to get past and to the desk where more talking occurred. Long story long, we did get on board and once on board the internet cafe printed out all of the rest of our paid for excursions I had uploaded. And at no cost!!!

Ok thank you.

What if one person ends up not being able to sail? Would I still get all of our perks since I would of course still end up having to pay for both of us even if he isn't able to go.
