We are doing a tour with Taste the Barossa. They have been great to work with and they customized a tour for us that will pick us up and drop us off at the port.

Thank you!

Yes. Once we get to Australia, I plan to re-distribute to a daily med case. I also take stuff at different times of the day. I'm just going to put vitamins in those baggies and just write on the baggie what they are. If they happen to be taken, I can just go buy more of those in Sydney. We might be over thinking this! And yes, we're getting to know each other!! We have already been talking about making a list of items that we're going to buy once we get to Australia that we don't have to add as weight in our suitcases.

I spoke to my Dr. this week. They are going to print out a list of my meds to take with me. I will print Rx labels from our pharmacy, which are on the website and put those onto medication baggies that I have purchased from Amazon. The baggies will have original pharmacy labels on them.

Thanks!

Thanks!

We are doing 3 B2B cruises as well as spending 10 days traveling in Australia before boarding our ship. We are both on several different prescription medications. I know going through customs when we land in Sydney can be difficult and want to be sure we're doing everything correctly as it applies to bringing in our medicines. We will have everything in a bag or bottle with a pharmacy label but is this enough? Do I need to get a paper Rx for each prescription from my Dr. to carry on with us? Thanks for the help!!

If your cruise isn't until 2026, you might not be able to reserve yet. Those reservations usually open up about 14 months before, but you could start checking. You can use the app or bring up the Celebrity website on your device. I like to use my laptop as it's so easy to see everything. Sign in and click on Plan My Cruise and then click on dining. You will then be able to see if you can make reservations yet. If you are on an E class ship, you will have 4 dining rooms to choose from. You can choose to eat in one, where you can order from all 4 menus, or you can pick and choose to go to different restaurants. There is a pro, to choose the same restaurant in that you will likely get the same wait staff every night and they learn what you like really quickly. An example is that the first night I ordered an ice tea and thereafter, ice tea came out to me almost as soon as I sat down. We get bored and like to feel like we're going to different restaurants so we choose to mix it up. Personal preference.

They will honor your reservation. We have never had to wait when we've had a reservation. You do have to wait in line to check in each night, but they'll take you right back to your table.

Thank you!! Kim

We have an over night in Cairns which is tendering in Yorkey's Knob. Would anyone happen to know what time the ship will begin tendering passengers to shore on the second day? Thanks!!

Thank you for your help! We will be on the Celebrity Edge from March 3 - April 5, 2025. All are Australia and NZ cruises, round trip from Sydney. I'm carefully planning shore excursions for all of our ports. Tenders will take time but we are also several miles away from the city centers even when docked and will have to take shuttles into town. Kim

We will be on our first Celebrity cruise since reaching elite status. One of our benefits is priority tender service at tender ports of call. We are doing 3 B2B and have several tender ports. My understanding is that we will not need to get tender tickets since we are elite. Is this correct? Do we just go to where the tender boats are and get on? Also, we have complimentary access to the Persian Garden on one port day. How do we use this? Do we just show up to the spa with our sea pass card or do we need to make a reservation prior, just telling them we have elite status? Thanks for the help!! Kim

We are doing 3 back to back cruises on Celebrity beginning March 3, 2025. The first goes south to wine country and is 9 nights, the second is around NZ and is 13 nights and the third goes up the east coast of Australia to Brisbane, Cairns, Port Douglas and Airlie Beach and is 10 nights. All are round trip Sydney. You could choose 2 of the three for your 3 week vacation. Prices are reasonable and it's one of their newer ships, the Edge.
