  1. Just want to comment about how compensation for "uncomfortable circumstances" has gone downhill.In 2006 I got the norovirus on grandeur 7 day cruise. It was not any sort of epidemic, I am not aware of others who were affected. I went to medical,they gave me a shot, and  I was quarantined for 48 hours. Had unlimited room service and cabin movies. My husband had to check in with medical following few days to make sure he was ok. Young kids were in connecting cabin.  A few days after we got home, we each received a future cruise credit of $400.  I was the only one who got sick.  We asked for nothing. 

     

    Fast forward to 2017.  Jewel of the seas Med cruise.  Black water coming out of our sink.  They told me it wasn't anything to worry about.  I said what to do if we get sick.  They told me to go to medical if I was worried.  I said why should I go if I am well? (just to pick up some disease??).  They kept telling me to go to medical so I would leave guest services!  We used bottled water for the rest of our trip.

     

    Just want to get to diamond with RC and then I will cruise celebrity. 

  2. thank you all for the honest opinions! I am cancelling this option. Forgot to mention, we are Canadian,so we have to be at airport a lot earlier than if flying domestically!  Would it be realistic to rent a car, drive to DC, keep luggage in car, see a few sights and then give car back at Reagan airport?  Would have to return car by 2 pm for the 4 pm flight.

    Yes, I think you can make an 11:15am flight.  Traffic would probably be moderate on  Sat morning.  It's about a 1-hour drive to Washington Reagan down Rt. 295 to 695/395.

     

    Of course, you have to take into account Murphy's Law.  

    That good old law! We would fly on points and don’t have enough for Baltimore. Also the Baltimore flight is late afternoon. 

  4. Jumbo it is not Baltimore airport. It is Washington Ronald Reagan airport. Airport code dca. I think it is almost an hour away. Just wondering what traffic is like. Our other alternative is a four pm from Baltimore airport code bwi. But then we are stuck in airport for hours. Plus we are trying to fly on points and Washington is less points. Don’t have enough for baltimore

  5. yes ,definitely wait!! it is the same thing as the "surf" package on RC, as opposed to surf and stream. On RC you can buy it before, on celebrity you can't.  I hope they will change this at some point, they are making millions with people buying the higher package who don't need it!
