Does Celebrity wash and dry everything at one temperature? Can a passenger request cold water wash and cool dry?

On Celebrity, how does onboard credit work? Is it simply applied to your charge total at the end of the cruise or do you have to specifically apply to a purchase?

We will be cruising on the Eclipse soon and my daughter asked if the pools were filled with salt water or fresh water. Can anyone answer for me?

An Uber or Lyft, while pricey, may be convenient for a single RT drive.

I just logged on to my Cruise Planner to purchase the all inclusive photo package for our upcoming cruise and, lo and behold, it was no longer posted. Did Celebrity remove the offer or is it a glitch in their website?

We will be cruising around the British Isles in a July and I expect the weather will be a bit cooler than the Caribbean. I do hope that they heat the outside pools for my kids’ sakes. Is the Solarium strictly adults only?

Are the swimming pools heated on the Celebrity Eclipse.

Does Celebrity provide an option to purchase a case of regular bottled water (e.g., Dasani) delivered to the stateroom at the beginning of the cruise. I've used that option on previous Princess and Carnival cruises. I am not referring to the premium bottled water (Evian, San Pellegrino, etc) package ordered from the bars or dining room that I see listed. Conversely, if they do not offer such a package, are we allowed to bring on board a case of pre-purchased water from shore?

Thank you

Did the Diamond Princess get the new beds during the latest dry dock?

Bunks in the ceiling, heads of beds under window. EM

thank you

My family is booked on a n outside obstructed view quad cabin on the Diamond Princess. Does anyone know how they configure a quad room? Is the bottom bed a queen or only two twins? Are the upper bunks pulldown from the ceiling or the side walls? Thanks.

Consider renting your formal wear. Most cruise lines offer that option.

My family will be cruising in a few weeks with a stop in Victoria. I'm looking to get a taxi to tour the city. Any recommendations.

Do you think they may add provisions for the wi-fi based Princess@Sea?

Is there an age requirement for the Jr Chef program? My 6 yo DD loves to help around the kitchen and it may be fun for her to join.

We are booked for an Alaskan cruise on the Golden Princess this May. Is the covered pool, I believe it was called Neptune, warm enough to use in Alaska? In other words, is the pool heated?

I've read that the Golden Princess will be in drydock this spring. Does anyone know the schedule? The extent of repairs/modifications? Or is it just cosmetic?

We did a similar cruise from Seward to Vancouver in 2010. We flew to Anchorage from LAX arriving after midnight and took a cab to the Alyeska Hotel in Girdwood; about 30 minutes out of town. It was a beautiful night drive. We stayed for two nights there and took the train to Seward. The hotel is a ski resort with the usual amenities. There is a really small station in Girdwood (a platform really) but it worked out great. The train ride over the Kenai peninsula was stunning in late May. Snow covered mountains and passes and blue skies from horizon to horizon. The train station in Seward is a short taxi ride to the port. The town itself is interesting with nice aquarium as well. Good luck on your travels.

Fight on!

I used three lenses on my Nikon D200 during my first cruise to Alaska. A 12-24, 70-300 f4.5-5.6, and my favorite 35 f1.8. The weather was spectacular with clear skies and brilliant sunsets. The wide angle was great for landscapes while the 35 was best for low light and walking around town. The 70-300 with VR worked reasonably well for whale watching and eagles but I still wished for a longer reach. This Spring I will be going on another cruise to Alaska but will be using a full frame camera with my old manual lenses. I don't know which yet.

Do cruise ships berth near the Inner Harbor? If not, is it within walking distance?

I've booked a cruise on the Golden Princess RT from San Francisco. We selected a cabin quite forward on the ship. I'm beginning to wonder if that was smart since I'm prone to seasickness.

Questions: Does the route Golden Princess takes on this itinerary follow the Inside Passage at Victoria or does she stay off shore until she approaches Alaska? Although I understand it's hard to say at this point, is the Pacific in this area prone to storms in late May?

Thanks,

Dennis
