Wait.. the bungee was $280nz above the sky walk price??? sheesh! 😮

oh yuck about the humidity. so i've narrowed my choices to Hmlet ($1100) or a Holiday Inn ($1900 - $2100, depending on which one) because it comes with a great free breakfast so i can skip spending $ on lunch. I also thought about The middle of the ground $1500 hotels like Peninsula Excelsior Singapore (Wyndham) because i'm Diamond at Wyndham and can get a free upgrade plus other small stuff. is there Uber/Grab in Singapore?

oh, i had no idea. 😮 thought they were being cute with the naming

There were penguins near Auckland??? What tour had penguins? link? (for next time im there) Did you try the bungee jump off the sky tower? How much extra was it?

And how safe is the Hmlet area if i came home late at night?

I'm going to debark in Singapore next month and stay 10days. I'm a solo male with carry-on and a backpack. Right now I'm staying at the Holiday Inn Express @ Clarke Quay for $675 for 3 days. the original plan was to then goto Kuala Lumpur for 7 days afterwards. Now i'm staying all 10 days in Singapore. I could do $225/day for 3 days. But not $2250 for 10days. 😮 Any cheap places to stay near the casinos? or which area to stay in that's near the casinos?

For the day i will be there next week, i booked a couple of months in advance for 12:30pm. the only tours left as of today are 9am and 12:30 pm. Now i'm getting paranoid as to why those are the last 2 times left. What's wrong with those 2 times?

Going from Sin to KUL in Nov. (Solo male with carry-on and backpack) These are my best options according to Google: For $3 more, i'm thinking Malindo Air. It has more legroom. Although i'm 5'9" and don't need the extra legroom, i'm assuming that more legroom means they Nickle and dime you less with gotcha scummy fees? Which airline would you take/avoid?

i dont eat at the mdr except on lobster night. is the double cheeseburger at the mdr an upcharge??? You can build your own double cheeseburger (with the toppings like onions, bacon, etc) at the mast grill for free. and with toppings/sauce, i cant taste the difference between a big mac and a ground sirlion burger i cook myself 😮

Tonight's buffet included 2 items I've never seen offered (and I've been here since last cruise to Hawaii): Pork belly Bread bowl Unfortunately, the filling options for the bowl was all curry (Beef, fish, veggie). The apprentice cook making this didn't mention curry. I don't like curry. :( oh.. one other item at the buffet that I didn't see last cruise was flank steak. Saw it twice so far this cruise.

Interesting.. knew solstice was in Alaska but Never thought of ice being the culprit. been on several Alaskan cruises but only on ncl. Never noticed paint chipping but now realize Ncl's hulls are mostly white. Doh! Surprised they weren't allowed to paint in Tahiti.

Why isn't the salmon pink? (If you can't tell from the pic, it's white like swordfish.) Mis-labeled and it's not salmon?

The pic in my OP is from the app while I'm still onboard. Good to know they don't do this dumb behavior on their website

I am on ship wifi and the pic in my op is from the app.

What poker cruise? Cas? As in casinos at sea? As in ncl??? Um.. this is a celebrity board

Good bid prices. But Can't bid on upgrades on free casino cruises

What the hell?!? What the hell??? Is celebrity that desperate for $that they stooped to these dumb tactics?

Pesto is now available at the pasta station. You have to request it. In the past I asked and they said they don't have pesto then I saw a dish in the buffet with pesto a few days ago. I asked a black scarf today and he gave permission to the pasta station to give pesto

With all these double and triple points promos, reaching Ambassador before age 55 is easy. (I'm going to make it on Nov Viva cruise.) Time to create an Ambassador Plus tier, say 1400 points (double Ambassador tier)?

How much are they going from PE to POM (or vice versa)?

I'm staying at the Hard Rock casino in Ft Lauderdale after my cruise in Dec. I can stay up to 3 days for free. Hop on/off bus is on my plan for day 1. What's there to do for the other 2 days? Suggestions? (I'm male and can't swim or dance)

ouch. I hope they're getting a refund on the paint job. according to this List of celebrity ships, Solstice was last drydocked oct 2021: https://creative.rccl.com/Sales/Celebrity/General_Info/Flyers/12030112_CEL_FleetGuide.pdf Next dry dock 2026. 3 more yrs of her looking like she's been through a hurricane or 2 😮

I'm doing a b2b: Vancouver to Hawaii to Australia. I'm now on leg 2 but I noticed the peeling paint on the 1st leg. On other ships, they're constantly painting the sides where the pier bumpers touch the hull when we're in port. The chipping paint seems to be at the same height. I was surprised they didn't paint when we were overnight at Kona, Hawaii. Or they don't have long enough paint roller extension poles?
