Does celebrity or rccl provide transportation between ships?

January 7th - 8 night harmony of the seas 😊

I think once a day is fine. We do not need anything more than enough towels per our request. I would never decrease the gratuity. They work hard enough and not sure how they handled the amount of cabins with twice a day service originally.

That would be very similar to what we want to do. the edge 12 nighter in 2024 leaves from Vancouver; which would be a treat to visit pre cruise. 5 days at sea then we hit the islands. We love sea days on a trans so we would enjoy the sea days for sure.

Thank you for this review. Hawaii is on our bucket list and I have looked into this ship to do so. We have finally decided to give the celebrity edge cruise a shot in 2024. We cruised on the edge in September of 2021 and loved it. A few sea days on the front end; which we actually don’t mind. Then two days on each island. Much cheaper for us considering what the hotels are charging these days as well as packing and unpacking to each island. I know a cruise will be different than a land based vacation.

Wishing you a wonderful cruise. The backup to get parked for oasis in may was horrendous.

We were on that cruise and still think it was one of our best.

Love the solstice. It was our first celebrity ship. The food was probably the best we have had in all all of our cruises. Have a wonderful cruise! 😊

I agree! Entertainment became available for my 1/7/2023 harmony cruise and I am now ready to work in my specialty dinner plans. Much prefer to do so before cruising rather than rush as soon as we get on the ship.

How devastating! I am truly so very sorry for your loss. I am also sorry to hear no doctor could assist before it was too late. My condolences

Us too! I wish they would start replacing Jamie’s with Giovanni’s.

Thank you for doing this live review and thrilled you love the wonder so far! 😊

We have purchased the drink package for a while now. However, the cost even with the 30% off is one of the reasons why we will look at celebrity all inclusive option.

Ny to nj and vice versa is challenging for not only car services but Uber/Lyft

We have been on the oasis and allure a few times each, harmony and symphony just one each allure - mama Mia oasis - aqua 80, playmakers and music hall symphony - aqua theatre show and playmakers I don’t remember much about the harmony. However, we are booked on the 1/7/2023 sailing for the itinerary and she’s sailing out of Fort Lauderdale 😊

I haven’t been on a ncl ship during hot weather. However, I have heard that the oasis class has far more outside pool deck space including the solarium than the encore or same class? true?

We have never been and POA would give us the opportunity to island hop. Not crazy about the ship but not crazy about 5 sea days to get there on celebrity from Vancouver. It’s on the top of our very long cruise bucket list. Thanks, 😊

Dani, how long ago did you cruise on the POA?

Of course, I have to ask if you have been to Hawaii and if not is it in your future travel plans?

I thought kids were back in school?

Perhaps your mask didn’t work then!

I was responding to keksies post. Move on!

That’s why we chose celebrity for our first cruise back from Covid - edge 9/2021. It felt terrific to vacation as we did before Covid. We have cruised twice since then on rccl and no masks were necessary either. We wouldn’t cruise if masks were required.

I’ve gone onto both celebrity and royal sites and am confused at what they are using as a “fully vaccinated” guideline. I see the language about “no less than 14 days” for last shot. I don’t see where they are stating a number of days/date that your last shot could be from to be “compliant”? any guidance is appreciated. thanks!

So sorry you and fellow Floridians are having to go through this. Wow! What a lovely house/neighborhood you live in! And the cars……😊 if you can, please keep us posted.
