Oops! Yes, the Jewel of the Seas. 😀

My wife and I are headed to Amsterdam at the end of July (2024); we will spend a couple of days in Rotterdam and sail on Celebrity's Silhouette out of this city. After the cruise, we will spend six more days in and around the Netherlands, and sail home on the Radiance of the Seas, out of Amsterdam. (TA -- Amsterdam to Boston) Enjoy! Kel

Thanks everyone! Starting the packing process today.👍

My wife and I are headed to the Oosterdam in a couple of weeks. Since we just earned 4 star status, and we get free laundry; is this unlimited service, or is it a set number of loads? (Trying to pack ultra lite) Thanks for the info! Kel

My wife and I are now both retired and we cruise more than 150 days a year, and to keep up that pace we always cruise in an inside cabin. Celebrity is the best in this department. Cabins are large and well designed, and we've never felt uncomfortable. We sleep so much better in an inside cabin because of the total darkness. We've cruised in multiple balcony, OV, and even a couple of suite cabins -- not worth the extra cash (IMHO). If you are doing a "trip of a lifetime", sure try the best cabin you can afford, but if you are doing BtoBtoBtoB and that's just the start of the year, save some money and book a well situated inside cabin. After 930 days of cruising, the whole upscale cabin thing is lost on me. Example: BtoBtoB in Alaska in May (total for two people) = $3,816, all included for 21 nights on the Solstice, or a 7-night cruise in an S-1 Suite at $3,692 on the Solstice. Enjoy! Kel PS -- we do like those forward facing OV cabins!

Just off the Silhouette, and they only had that "Bull" Louisiana hot sauce. Living in NM, I eat at least one meal a day that includes either Red or Green Chile, or both (Christmas). Hot sauce is just a substitute for my daily habit. Hatch, NM is the mother-load of all things Chile!😅
