Wow, they are getting big.   Very sweet and loving photo.   They are lucky brothers that they got to stay together😊

A question for those of you who have sailed B2B cruises where you have to change cabins for the second week.   I know your cabin steward will move things to the new cabin for you, but how do you tag your new cabin number for your suitcases and hanging clothes?

 

We are in the same cabin the first two weeks, but we have to move to a different cabin the third week.  We will be gone from home more than 30 days before that third week, so we wouldn’t have luggage tags to print for it.

 

I don't remember having to tag luggage but if you do I'm sure diamond lounge concierge or guest services can get you tags.

No need to tag your clothes hanging up.  They bring in a hotel cart and will put all your stuff together.

I wonder if they have an equivalent to ducks on their buggy dash, maybe live ducks? 🤔😂

Good afternoon.

We had a lovely church service this morning.

A church window behind where we sit every Sunday.

It has just stopped raining and is 54°F and breezy.

I hope everyone is safe and well and y'all are having a wonderful day.

We went to our normal upscale restaurant with live music and for the second time in last few months a couple at the next table got engaged, he got down on one knee 😁

Our first ocean view stateroom... Not as bad as I feared.

 

DH even felt more "connected" to the sea....

We are looking to try a Celebrity Cruise next year in Europe.    As a newbie to Celebrity I am looking for some opinions to my following questions.  

 

My Brother has never cruised before so I want him to fall in love with cruising and hopefully him and his Wife will join us on future cruises.   

 

1.    Your thoughts on Equinox   (for reference we enjoy Radiance class on Royal - ship size, more of a classic cruise ship and all the windows).    

 

2.   Is it worth buying the AI upfront?    The cost is approx. $700 more per cabin.   Eric and I are D+ = Elite+ with Celebrity.   Looking at 9 night sailing and Yes, we will want internet to stay in touch with family, work and CC.   We will have 3 sea days (plus boarding day). 

 

2a.    Is it better to buy one of those european packages for our phones while at port thenwe could just purchase onboard wifi for the 3 days at sea?    

 

2b   Yes, we will want specialty coffees and will have cocktails during the day while at sea (including wines at dinner) and bottled waters.       We do Not buy the DBP with Royal since we are D+ and Casino Prime.  

 

Any other things I need to know about Celebrity would be greatly appreciated.

Never been on Celebrity but definitely worth getting EU calling on your phone.

We often pick up a signal on port days a couple of hours before arrival and a couple of hours after departure.

Beware if you are going to Turkey it is not in the EU.

In Kusadasi port(compound )there is a place where they sell electronics the crew go to face time their families on computers and we have paid to use the shops phones to ring home.

We were on many Celebrity cruises between 2010 and 2016.Our alltime favorite ship was the Silhouette.

That's 33.3% more cats.😁

Congratulations to the Yankees.Would you rather see them play the Mets or the Dodgers?

I as you know am a Mets fan but in my opinion a Dodgers vs.Yankees WS would be a classic.

My intended post went poof in cyberland...sigh.

 

2nd attempt: @aussielozzie18  @FromSea2ShiningSea Your pictures never disappoint!  A true feast for the eyes.

 

@lenquixote66 Lenny I hope your spirits lift soon and that posting in here helps.

 

@dani negreanu That picture of you looking out at the sea should be framed and hung so you can experience a bit of that serenity at home.

 

I also wondered about luggage and switching rooms on a b2b.  I knew this would be the place for good advice. AND do we have to go to our 2nd cruise muster station to sign in?  Different location.
