Stem to Stern

I am through page ten. Can’t handle any unwanted surprises this evening. Will catch up tomorrow. If you were to catch the first tender, then the Santorini cable car wait would not be horrendous. We made a mad dash for it and the wait was minimal. Bon voyage!

Thanks Megan. Also just found and binged this one. Love Bimini. Will hit DR for first time in Dec on MSC. How did the lazyriver look? Clean? Was the $40 city tour you took worth it? St Croix added to bucket list. Which if not all of the VV dining venues are included?

The Constellation shower curtain really was not a huge issue for us. We booked a Sunset Verandah on Deck 7. When we boarded and arrived at our stateroom door there was a Concierge Class sign on the door. This Constellation shower curtain was a thousand times better than the one on Azamara Onward which blew around and stuck to me. I am not sure if the quality of the shower curtain varies by stateroom category on Constellation. By the way it is a truly lovely ship.

Their loss. Now I will be extra stubborn, eat in the main dining room every night, and not spend an extra penny on board. MSC Yacht Club here I come.

Not impressed! This may have sealed the deal for the future of my relationship with this cruise line. I just attempted to reserve my 3-night speciality dining package before Celebrity decides to alter their 30% off Flash-in-the-pan sale pricing only to be told.... We’re stuffed! Reservations are currently not available.

It looks like it was heating up in the kitchen....

Bon voyage!

Sailed with a group of them on Celebrity Reflection in the western Med in 2019. The situation really did not pose any issues for us.

Same. Excursion I previously booked for $125.99 per guest is now on flash sale for 35% off the "onboard" price of $178.99 making it $115.99. What a deal! Maybe but probably not worth my time to cancel and rebook to save $20. However, I will take advantage of the 30% off the 3-night specialty dining package. Was waiting for a better price on that. Thanks Celebrity.

It looks like Celebrity's website is working overtime for this one.... Hang tight, lots of guests are sailing through our site. Don't pick up the phone just yet, we'll load all the fun stuff soon. And then,,,, We're unable to complete your request, so please try again later.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY IAIN !!!

@sue.young Are you on your phone, tablet, or computer? Based on the screenshots you posted, it appears to be your phone. I never tried to view the webinar on my phone before. Maybe try a different browser?

My burger was juuuuust right.

I am loving your photos of random, local humans.

Nevertheless your posts are appreciated. The 12-nt Dec 9 in Aqua is $5,037. Nice itinerary to Canaries and Morocco. Would love to go back to Barcelona.

Looking at Celebrity's site now and aft aqua 1141 is available on the 18th for $5,064.48 total or roughly $253 pppn. Both aqua sky suites with the big verandah available for $7,789.48 or $389 pppn.

We absolutely adored our brief visit to Sorrento. Thank you so much for sharing your adventure.

Hope you enjoy Zakynthos. One of my favorite port stops of all. Enjoying your photos.

The chic nights are the dressiest nights, but I find that they really are not as glamorous as they sound. A few people go all out with their outfits, but you will definitely blend in just fine. People wear a wide range of wardrobe choices every night whether in the Med or Caribbean. I always pack a zip-up cardigan sweater in case parts of the ship are chilly. This has been a common occurrence for me on M-class and S-class ships in both locales. In the Med with fewer sea days and long days off the ship touring in port, we use the ship more as a floating hotel versus a resort. Our and passengers’ attire choices reflect this. Definitely not necessary to pack sport coat or tie. My husband makes a habit of laundering quick-dry articles in the bathroom sink. Enjoy your 2.5 weeks!

Agree 100%. Both of our European cruises were made up of passengers mostly from the US, Canada, and the UK. Most dressed the same as we saw in the Caribbean. Dressy casual was generally what we witnessed. My husband packed his blazer and wore to dinner twice on our most recent Greek Isles cruise. I have left mine at home for several years now.

I have a brand-new Mac that froze up. Usually, I run the webinars on my ancient iPad without issue. I managed to get through to the end of it on the iPad and snap a screen shot.

My webinar is froze up part way thru on my Mac this morning. 😩 I guess I will try again first thing tomorrow morning on another device. 😩 Sorry, but this is way less entertaining than Survivor. 😩

Reading the above boredom reports about the webinar really takes the wind out of my sails. I was really looking forward to watching it later tonight after Survivor.

Mine says 30 PUPs. I must not be special. I got mine at 4:33pm eastern time today. When will we get the points?🤩

Marseille -- We booked a private tour with two other couples to Le Luberon Regional Natural Park and discovered the beautiful, hilltop villages of Gordes, Roussillon, Lacoste, and Bonnieux. It was a truly unforgettable day.
