ECCruise

Is there a way to check that all cruises and points have been added to your account? Over the years we believe quite a few are missing. Started cruising with Celebrity in 1990 1 to 2 cruises every year. My points don't seem to add up and we never really bothered to look into it after we reached top tier Elite.

Yes, look on the "Sailing History" in the Captain's Club area on the website.

150+ nights on Celebrity and I think we have seen towel animals 2 nights.

On lines that do them on a regular basis, we tell the steward the first night that they appear that they no longer need to do them for our cabin. I guess if you've never seen them before, they are cute but after you've seen them once it, for us, is same old, same old. But the biggest factor is if it takes 5 minutes to do one elaborate creation and the steward has 20 cabins, that is 100 minutes, or 1 hour 40 minutes that could be spent in their crew quarters. For people who work 80+ hours a week, 7 days for 6+ months, that little extra added time could, at the least, be refreshing.

We've owned RCL and CCL for years and have reaped several thousand of OBCs as stockholders. Have a couple NCL cruises booked so looked into a quick purchase of NCLH stock.

Not.

Fundamentals are less than stellar, starting with an enormous debt load that is scheduled to increase with new inventory. Very few "buy" recommendations and lots of less than glowing analyst's reports. We would be the last ones to take analysts' advice too seriously, but this one we will mark a big "wait and see," especially with a measly $100 OBC across the board that has no combinability.

Difficult if not impossible task. We've done this at least a half dozen times, but never left less than 9 or 10 hours.

First, it depends on where the ship docks. If you are in one of the outlying berths (where we always seem to be) it will take a minimum on 30-40 minutes to walk to the station. Otherwise, you will have to take the shuttle and then walk to the station (that walk alone is 10 minutes). Then hope to time a train departure right (otherwise wait 15-20 minutes). The trip to Termini for us usually takes 50 minutes or more, so leave an hour there. You are at a minimum of 1.5 hours already, double that for return (living totally on the edge) and you will have 2 hours, at best in the Termini station area.

5 hours? Wouldn't think of it.

Try Dollar Tree. I swear I saw something very similar to what you described for sale there.
