    Jim_Iain (with and Eye) - B2B Millennium 10/11 and 10/19 Pacific Coastal

    in Celebrity Cruises

    Posted

    I'm looking forward to sailing on Millennium again on 10/19.  This is my view of the port, taken on 02-02-21 during a short stop for resupply last winter.

    The "old" terminal is hidden by the ship.  The Broadway pier is visible just behind it, and the USS Midway behind that.  As Jim says, everything is close.  Before I moved to San Diego I would fly in, take the free shuttle to the Holiday Inn (now the Wyndham), and wake up the next morning to see the ship (usually Celebrity Century back then) docked directly across the street.  Then just a short walk to check in.

    Jim, I'm in Aqua class as well, so I look forward to seeing you in Blu (unless you get your upgrade).

    Thank you and welcome to the Daily.  Based on your signature, possibly also welcome to the HAL forum.  Probably not an awful lot of us around who have sailed on the Leeward.

    I haven't looked at my signature for many years, and just realized it's about 67 cruises behind.  I do have one HAL cruise, Mexico at the end of 2019, on Eurodam. (I'll have to do a signature update soon)

    Crew Departures 5/22 from San Diego

    in Celebrity Cruises

    Posted

    Millennium and Eclipse each docked briefly on Friday, 5/22 in San Diego.  Apparently to disembark crew members -- local chartered buses were then seen at San Diego airport driving directly to 3 iAero (formerly Swift Air) chartered 737-800s.  The last of these departed at 11:30 pm PDT for MIA, with an eventual destination of Bridgetown, Barbados, where one has already landed and the other two are in flight, due to arrive soon, according to FlightAware.

    Once in Barbados, I believe the crew members will be transferred to other ships (RCI?) for voyages home.

    Eclipse & Millennium Update from San Diego 4-30-2020

    See this link for an article in today's San Diego Union-Tribune.  I didn't know there were some South American passengers still aboard Eclipse.

    Westerdam docked this morning in San Diego next to Celebrity Eclipse, which has been here since the end of March.

     

    Although it's great to have a wonderful view of the harbor, it's disappointing not to be sailing on any of the ships that have been rotating through or sharing the dock space for the last month or so:  Celebrity Eclipse, Celebrity Millennium, Disney Wonder, Westerdam, Seven Seas Splendor.
