Thank your for the list and the comparison pricing. Yes confirms more cost effective as well as the wine selection as compared as what we would bring on board. Just did not want to have to carry it on, but it will be worth it.

Thank you all again for helping in making an informed decision.

Sounds like we will be bringing our own wine until we become 4 star! Thank you for the information. Corkage fee here we come...

I so agree! We built in a week prior in Vancouver in 2014. I love that city. So much to do and see.

Here is the current brochure that describes all of the packages:

Thank you. In searching the boards this is exactly what I wanted to know!

We are seriously considering this excursion and would like insight of anyone who has recently done this. It is quite costly and would enjoy anyone's insight. TIA!!!

Our Holland America sailing is November 2016, so just around the corner. Also from your experience does this excursion tend to sell out or are we safe waiting until we are on board in order to use our OBC?

We are staying in FLL night before and using SAS transportation to POM. They are picking us up at 9:30 am.

Thank you. Yes celebrity finally answered after being on hold for 40 mins and was told same thing. I am so glad I found this out or all plans could have been totally messed up! Thank God for CC!

Thank you. It is just I saw a daily from Dec sailing and saw the one hour difference and wondered if arrival noted is ship or shore time. So confused

Question. Reflection shows March 8 arrival time for 8 am. Is this ship time? As I know shore time well at least I think is one hour ahead of shore time.

Just need to know as wedding planner is scheduled to pick us up at 9am shore time. If 8am arrival is really 9am in St Thomas I need to rearrange things.

On hold with celebrity forever so thought I would ask here.

We have chosen the Cambria suites prior to our POM sailing. Hoping we made a wise choice. Got it for a total of $236.00 in March.

I was also able to obtain the exact same cabin for my Alaskan cruise 2 years ago! All I can say is you got a great cabin! Loved the back stairs down one deck to bar and to buffet! Enjoy!!!

Bob, I say you need to do what feels right for you.

Our room steward fixed us one up from a robe tie. It worked perfectly by using the round knob shown in photo then the other end on the slider door handle! They must be used to these requests, as all I said was I had forgotten my bungee cord for the door. Magically appeared the makeshift one that worked beautifully.

Hi Cruiselovrs,

 

I am from NY as well, doing a solo cruise in November on Carnival Conquest. Happy early Birthday! What a wonderful from me to me gift, hope you have a great one!

What a perfect gift to yourself! Have a great cruise!

Hi everyone. I am sailing on the Norwegian Getaway on August 23. Just 2 days to go. I am so thrilled to be cruising again. I am a nice guy from NYC and sailing solo and gave myself this cruise as my own gift to celebrate my big 60th birthday. I am trying to send out info regarding the solo get togethers so we can all "find" each other. I am hoping there are lots of great solo women going on this cruise. After all, who wants to eat by themselves.

Hope you have a wonderful birthday cruise! From the sounds it I bet you will!

I have sailed solo on Celebrity twice, just in an ordinary inside cabin. I used to ask for a table for one in the MDR, but the tables were so close together I often ended up chatting to people next to me and made friends that way.

I didn't attend any singles events either, but I plan my evening around the entertainment in the ship's newsletter, which keeps me occupied, and then if it is a bit quiet I go to my favourite bar or the casino, so again you tend to meet like minded people there too.

When I sailed I'd never heard of CC or roll calls and still made friends, so don't worry too much if yours is quiet. I'm also happy with my own company, so if its just me I make the best of that too.

It already sounds like you are going with the right attitude to enjoy yourself. Hope you have a great time.:)

Sounds like great advice! I will just plan to go with the flow and enjoy a wonderful trip!

Hi Nancy, congratulations:)...those foward cabins are really good:D

I have been in the same one on Summit (sister ship of Infinity).....BIG

WINDOW and the room is larger than a regular oceanview too.:)

Thanks for a personal perspective on the cabin. Did quite a bit of research on CC and the wide world web prior to booking since I couldn't afford a balcony this trip! Got some perks tho to go with the trip which are always nice.

Well I have decided on my first solo cruise and have booked it! Going through the Panama Canal November 2015. I booked cabin 7003 the reviews for it looked great!

Thanks for this information. Looks like a great tour! Have checked out website and sent inquiry to them about joining a group as I will be a solo traveler. Looking at the culinary experience as well following Segway tour.

When you are on the ship and you look up your account on the TV it will show the OBC. If it shows OBCR, it is refundable. If it shows OBCN, then it is non refundable. Learned this on our most recent cruise in July.

Thank you to all who contribute to this board. I am here now and enjoying Beautiful Vancouver! Took one of the tips and purchased Burrowing Owl wine to take aboard ship. The employee at the package store said it was one of the best wines in his opinion! Looking forward to tasting it. Almost wish I could take a few bottles home with me!
