gaechann Posted October 20, 2017 #152 Share Posted October 20, 2017 Have a great cruise, Gut. Will keep an eye out for you & Mrs Gut during our next 1.75 days on board! Hope it all goes well enough for you to consider more Cruises in the future! Gae from Coffs Harbour - waiting on the Virgin plane to arrive then whisk me off to the “Big Smoke”!

NSWP Posted October 20, 2017 #153 Share Posted October 20, 2017 Celebrity is too mean to install a bridgecam on their Solstice, otherwise we could see Mr and Mrs Gut sunbaking on the 'lawn' up top, or perhaps watching the 'glass blowing.' :') Off Nelsons Bay at the moment I do believe. Nearly time for a U turn to head back south into Sydney. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cruisine21 Posted October 22, 2017 #158 Share Posted October 22, 2017 There are quite a few complaints on FB about the service. People saying they won’t cruise Celebrity again. You can’t really get a good overview of a cruise line from a 2 night sampler. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And now they put them back and the same thing happens. Lesson learnt...? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Docker123 Posted October 22, 2017 #162 Share Posted October 22, 2017 I wonder if not having drinks packages on the samplers would be of any benefit. Of course, for new cruisers there may be little awareness of the mounting charges on their accounts if it were by the drink. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The same thought did cross my mind, Princess don’t offer them on cruises under, I think it is, a week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare MicCanberra Posted October 26, 2017 #172 Share Posted October 26, 2017 Sounds exotic.:') It is the altitude sickness that does that to one. Not sure, Kathmandu is only 1,400 m, we went up to around 2,500 m but I must have picked up something, no vomits, just an upset stomach and a bit of the squirts for a day or so. The Imodium worked wonders. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare MicCanberra Posted October 26, 2017 #174 Share Posted October 26, 2017 Our son spent time in Nepal working at an orphanage he loved the area. People are lovely and the mountains are beautiful but the place is a real mess, especially since the earthquake in 2015. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
