I was comparing our cruise we have booked for 2024 to Hawaii with a land based holiday to Hawaii and I can't believe the cost of some hotels. Not only that on Maui a can of coke is $3.25.

Having never visited Hawaii I wonder what peoples thoughts are? Cheers..........

before we have cruised we normally have a look at some reviews and then after we have returned we wonder if the people posting "really bad reviews" have been on a different ship. But I suppose its all about ones expectations and the service they receive. So far we have been very lucky with all our Celebrity cruises because apart from a chicken being undercooked on the first night they have all went to plan....People pay good money for a celebrity cruise so they deserve quality service.

until my wife and I experience a bad celebrity cruise for ourselves we will continue to book and cruise

a sunset veranda rate in the uk all inclusive with 450$ obc and it approx 6k$

we booked in the uk no agent said no price increase and we get extra 100$ obc.  dont know anything about oregon never been.

or an overnight in Hon at the end of our cruise would be nice......we should find out soon what their decision is

Received a call from my agent. Issues with the port has changed the sail date from 21 Sept 24 to 20th Sept 24 meaning it is now a 13 night cruise and not a 12 night cruise.

Our price of the cruise remains the same with a complimentary 100$ obc per balcony cabin stateroom. Full refund offered if deciding on cancellation.

PS I believe the 13 Sept 2024 sailing from Vancouver is also affected as the agent mentioned the two dates.

what was wrong with the way it was? don't change something that isn't broke.

what changes to buffet?

can anyone confirm that the elite free drinks are between 5-7pm and available at any bar including the bar in the buffet deck 14?

thanks

yes its pretty different this schedule.....we will be on the edge for the first time in October doing Rome to Dubai.

my wife keeps saying why are we doing Hawaii when we like the caribbean.......lol she might have a point

Neither Hilo nor Kona is noted for great nightlife. I'd make reservations for a nice dinner in each spot and then partake in activities on the ship. Whether you eat late or make reservations for sunset is a personal call.

 

You could do a luau in Kona, Voyagers of the Pacific Luau is well regarded, but that would be doing something just to be doing something.

 

Which ship are you on?

Edge 2024

Thanks..it seems Maui will keep us occupied but not sure about Hilo and Kona. Do you recommend hiring a car?

For anyone who has been/cruised to Hawaii we believe the casino is closed for the nights the ship is in Hawaii ports? We have booked a cruise that stops for overnights in Hilo, Kona and Maui so wondering if there are any recommendations for evening activity while off the ship?

I actually found an email from 2020 from celebrity confirming it could be done so have relayed this to my ta tx

I have a couple of FCC's from cruises that were booked with a US travel agency and I want to use them in the UK [we are in the UK]. I'm sure I was able to do this previously but my UK TA is saying that Celebrity cannot accept a US $ value FCC in the UK.

Anyone know different?

would be good if like airmiles you could buy points......

i watched it but how do celebrity know if you watched it all?

watched it..points to be credited in 14 days

Very glad we booked our upcoming cruises a while back. Looking forward to our Edge adventure going from Rome to Dubai in 2023 and then in 2024 another Edge adventure from Vancouver to Hawaii.

Not too impressed with what has been released recently as I tend to agree much of the same but with bigger inflated prices.

Sorry but $11,500 for a Celebrity Suite is ridiculous. 

 

 

For that money we could tour numerous countries in Europe stay at top hotels and still have cash left.....

Been on a couple of Celebrity T/A's not that particular route you posted and slightly earlier in October.

All I can say is we hit lucky both times the sea was like glass didn't experience any bad weather and enjoyed both the time at sea and the stops.

Does Celebrity still offer this for a fee?

Our 2024/2025 European season is looking more exciting than ever, with new places and new spaces to deliver an unforgettable experience.

These incredible sailings will now be open for booking on 14 December.
