Usually runs $125-$150, per reports on TripAdvisor.  No tipping in Iceland, you pay the metered fare

Thank You

If we are talking Reykjavik, there are taxis, but the Flybus is usually a much better price, unless you are more than 3 people

Any Idea how much a Taxi runs from the Port in Reykjavik to the Airport?  Thanks for your reply.

Are there Taxies available at the port to take you to the Airport?  

I avoid connecting rooms at all costs.  My son had a room when he was on a cruise with us, and the person next to him was up all night talking loudly on conference calls of some sorts.

Something  goes for the Captain...Who cares who he or she is, as long as they keep us SAFE

Will be boarding next week for a B2B Cruise from Vancouver to Tampa...If you get an opportunity and  you please note how well the internet is working or not working.  Great job with your review so far,  looking forward to your review of the ship  

For Back to Back Cruises I believe you can take on 2 bottles each, provided you have documentation.

Quality used to be better but now YouTube TV wants you to buy the episode to see it in better resolution.

Sept 8th cancelled.  100% refund, 100% FCC. 

Where did this information come from?  Did you get it from Royal?  Can you post the email/letter?

@70sGringo Victoria has a large dry dock that Cruise lines do use. 

Victoria is not just a pretty face 😁.

Cheers, h. 

Agreed....Looks when the latest Azipods were installed the work was done in Victoria:

Since the Radiance had to cut short it' s Alaskan Cruise last week, and had to cancel this weeks cruise due to Propulsion Problems, we are awaiting word on how many more cruises will be canceled, if any.  If an Azipod or Engine has to be replaced or repaired, does anyone have any idea how long this work will take?    Currently the ship is docked in Seward Alaska.  Does the ship have to go into Dry Dock to have these repairs made?  Waiting on word from Royal, as we have B2B cruises on her starting on 9/29.  Thanks

Treat the Crew Members as  you want to be treated.  I would take offense to someone offering me candy as part of a Tip.  Although the gesture is nice, cash is always preferred.

I will let you know how it goes for me in a few weeks.

 

Since my cruise is 14 days long, it is cheaper for me to buy the ATT cruise ship plan and the International Day Pass (which includeds unlimited data, talk and text) as I am in ports for 9 days. I do not plan to use any data on the ship so I will not go over. I know to shut off Background Refresh for the apps, not have Data Roaming on and will not be checking email. I will only be texting (and not Imessage, as that needs data) lol

Great, Looking forward to your results.  I did not think thst Imessage counts towards data as all texts are included within the ATT PLAN.  We also have 4 free days between us on each cruise for a total of 8 free days onboard to utilize between both cruises.  Agreed, with the $10 per 24 hour day pass good in all of our stops, Im trying to size up what to I need.

Going on a back to back cruise on the Radiance in September/October.  ATT offers a ship plan good for 30 days for $100..Includes unlimited onboard calling, texts, and 1GB of data + $10 for every 100 MB over that amount.  Will be onboard for a period of 24 days.   What is your opinion of which plan to purchase?

We'll be there also.  Boarding in Vancouver.  And we've gotten credits for non-working internet

We will be Boarding in Vancouver also...first B2B for us.  Got great Air Fares from Philly to Vancouver on American.  Should be fun.

Following this thread...loving the photo's and information!!  We will be going on the Radiance in October for the Canal Passage from San Diego to Tampa.  It's looking like Starlink isn't working to well on the ship.  We usually get the internet package...I"m questioning if it's worth it.  On bad days where the internet is out much of the day is Royal reimbursing you for a days outage...I have seen them do that before on some Transatlantic and Transpacific voyages.

Is a bottle of Champagne allowed under the 2 bottles per person of wine on Celebrity? 

No more packing suits, jackets, or ties....those days are OVER.  Anyone that wants to dress up, go for it, and enjoy.  I will dress up for a special family cruise where the kids want family pictures, but that's about it.

We brought over the Beyond this past October from Barcelona to Bayonne NJ.  Were in Cabin 8130.  The noise coupled with strong winds on the crossing made sleeping a challenge.  Will never do an Edge class ship again on a crossing.

It's called "wifi calling."  Since you will be on the ship, make sure your phone is placed in airplane mode.  If you have a wifi connection, turn wifi calling on in your phone.  You can also "facetime" if you have an iPhone.  Make sure you are in "airplane" mode of you may get charged ship charges of $2 a minute or more.

I thought you needed Surf & Stream Package to Facetime and use WIFI Calling.  It was my belief that Surf only allowed you to text and browse the internet, with no streaming nor calling.  Has this changed?

This will be your 4th cruise on MSC using the Yacht Club.  Have loved the experience so far.  March will be our first time using Port Canaveral.  Just wondering,  when driving to the port.  Do  you park your car, then carry your bags from the parking lot to the Yacht Club Tent, or do  you pull up to the tent, drop off your bags, then go park your car.  No biggie, but I was just wondering.

Thanks

The times they are a changin…..relax and don’t look so hard. I like the relaxed standards…less to pack. 
 

I bring an Exercise Ball.  It lays flat in my baggage...when I get to the room, I blow it up...works well as a foot stool.  

Will WIFI calling (audio only) work with basic WIFI, or will we have to upgrade to the higher package?
