Celebrity as ala carte Ferry?

[boogs]

No problems here considering you are a mind reader and make conclusions based on your frames of reference.

 

Consider taking a sticky to your dictionary and write: "line items that add up to the total cost".

 

Posts here are based on opinions and facts, I've expressed my opinions.

Actually, this would seem more like a fact than an opinion since it is something you actually do rather than something you think you might do. ;)

My initial question, note that it had ? marks, was answered.

Den has taken time to further clarify what is included at the base price.

 

Posters who took time sharing their thoughts negative and positive,

submitted post that are valuable to me in finding other cruise options and to refine my opinions about the Celebrity experience.

 

The initial question was due to my own confusion about cruising again.

I wanted to keep the conversation going to learn from other cruisers.

 

This thread accomplished all I set out to learn.

 

My thanks to all posters and to Den for the recap shown here.

 

I'll pick from extra options with satisfaction.
