Hi there.  I just booked my first Celebrity cruise.  I see that you can pre book classes such as food parings and mixology.  Do these fill up or can you book once on board?  Are these usually scheduled on sea days?  Not sure if it is recomended to book these before sailing, thanks.

Us Canadians are big on any excuse to drink beer lol.

Does Princess do anything special on the ships for St. Paddy's Day?

My husband has Star Walk on his iPad and loves to go to a top deck every night to play with it. We will likely try this program.

I am happy to see this come up as I am interested in what is currently seen on the ships. I could be wrong but I think one of the reasons formal nights are getting a bit less formal has more to do with changes on how people pack for trips. People who have to fly, especially ones who have to fly far or take multiple flights have to deal with the changes the airlines have made. There have been so many changes to the already expensive flights, not only how high your chances of your luggage not making the trip, but the added cost now of charged checked luggage and more recently some airlines will also charge for carry on. The airlines are also more strict with carry on sizes. I did a cruise with a girlfriend and we booked last minute so had many plane changes so we packed only carry on. It was wonderful to have so much less stuff to lug around and to not have to pay for the checked bags. This also meant though that we dressed nice every night but never really formal. My husband's suit would never fit in carry on so not sure how we will pack for our next cruise.
