Cool Cruiser

Cool Cruiser (2/15)

  1. Was just on Splendor and Hotel Director said that she is booked into Sydney till at least 25/26.
  2. Wholeheartedly agree with Chrisclaire. We recently returned from our very first Celebrity Cruise on the Solstice and were very impressed. Wonderful ship with wonderful crew. Will definitely be sailing Celebrity again.
  3. We are on this cruise too, have done this itinerary in the opposite direction about 5 years ago. Am following along with you …
  4. Hi. Yes! Booked 11 Feb Sydney- Hobart , it was pretty easy. Looking forward seeing what Virgin Voyages is like. I am also going to apply for loyalty match - Diamond on RCI - I read somewhere that the offer is only available until December 2023 - but will give it a go and see if it works!!
  5. Nevermind. Second email arrived with the code. 😊
  6. I received my email from Virgin Voyages this morning professing to contain my access code to redeem my cruise. Unfortunately, it said “your access key is.” (No code) ” Seems they forgot to add in the access key code! Was wandering if this has happened to anyone else? I can’t contact them yet.
  7. I just redeemed points as well. Not sure exactly how it works - so we’ll see. Hopefully I can get one of the Sydney cruises. Thanks Flybuys!
  8. I’m sorry I don’t have photos of menus but if my memory is correct - beers and spirits about $8 or $9. Cocktails from about $11. Coffee about $4. Soft drink about $3. This is in AUD.
  9. We booked a back to back on Icon for December 2024 late last year when prices were good. I figure it’s the first and last time I’ll have the opportunity to sail on her so why not give it a go? We are sailing without kids so will avoid the family areas. I haven’t been on anything bigger than Ovation, so will be exciting I’m sure. Now that our kids are older we will be sailing on smaller shops in the future - so this is the last hoorah!!
  10. We have a similar issue. Been booked for early dining and much prefer to select our own dining time. We have been told months ago by the TA that a ‘request’ has been made with Celebrity and if they are able to change it they will. As of today it hasn’t changed. My issue is that we are sailing in 3 weeks and I’m pretty sure it won’t be changed at this late stage. Does anyone know if I can ask onboard for it to be changed? We have done this once with Royal. Thanks.
  11. No handwashing facilities that I saw on Carnival Splendor either. Maybe they were there but I never saw them and unlike other cruises I’ve been on no reminders from staff to wash hands.
  12. I am really looking forward to this cruise, and it sounds like Murano is the one to beat!! I’m looking forward to all of them. Enjoy the cruise to all who are on this sailing!!
  13. Thank you all for your very quick and helpful responses! I looked last night on the website- no sale……. I’ve just looked now and guess what? A flash sale! I can’t wait to try these restaurants. Happy sailing everyone!!
  14. Hi all, we are sailing Celebrity for the first time (usually sail RCI). We are on the Solstice Transpacific from Honolulu to Sydney, and are really looking forward to it. As we are onboard for 17 nights I was a bit concerned about getting bored with the MDR. Usually on longer cruises we purchase a 3 night specialty dining package. This is not available on our cruise. We saw the prices for individual specialty restaurants and the prices are higher than what we were expecting. So, of the specialty venues onboard - Murano, Le Petit Chef, Sushi on Five or Tuscan Grille which would be the one that you would recommend? We love most cuisines. Thanks. J
  15. Sailing from Sydney, Australia - just last week I carried on small UHT cartons of lactose free milk. I showed them to security as I was boarding - no problem at all.
