If you are very very hungry, no other choice offers an equal stuffing as the Porch. Murano is our favourite because it is fine dining at its best and I pace myself to get to the cheese!

Here is a picture worth a couple of words anyways.

So you're the reason everyone else has to wait half an hour.🙃

The Porch.

I received this email from RCL Friday evening: Reservation Transfers <reservationtransfers@rccl.com> Reply Reply all FTo:You Fri 2024-04-26 9:58 Dear *******, Please be advised that your request to transfer reservation #2044*** to be serviced by xxxxxx CRUISES ------------- was processed. We thank you for your business. Sales Administration Dept. The problem is that the cruise sailed in December 2023. I received two of these, the other was a sailing on Constellation in January. 2024. Did anyone else get a notification?

So many people with priorities, 5 Star, 4 star, suites and oh, Club Orange.

Celebrity also lets Park West use their best lounges for auctions, blocking off the equivalent of the Crow's Nest during the entire day. Complaints have never worked on X about this issue..

Happy Birthday from the Halve Maen (Half Moon) sailing into NY harbour 1609.

We have cruised on Constellation for nearly 20 years. She is our favourite Celebrity ship, recently cruising for two months from December to January 2024. The modifications will be minor. The crew is fantastic: in our opinion better than any Royal experience (10+ from Enchantment to Allure). The itinerary is more important than the ship. The cabin choice on the "old" ships are superior to Celebrity's newer ships, depending on your Euro bank account...

There are two different piers. When we cruised on Holland America, they gave us the wrong address. The Old Town Pier parking is twice as expensive but very convenient. We cruised out of the new terminal and the parking lot is a 15 minute walk.

Do you know which pier?

This is where we parked on two cruises. Get the Flowbird App.

In reality, I think it is a shortage of ships for X. The ones they have positioned now are profitable.

You're a bear for punishment, or is that bare?

We cruised this itinerary frequently. We love the fort. Rent a car and enjoy the Cabot Trail or simply walk into town..

The Vancouver terminal can be quite the challenge. I've heard reports that pax from every cruise line get in line for immigration screening. There is not necessarily a line for HAL or Celebrity or Royal. We always show up early.

When we were on Constellation over the holidays, Celebrity often charged an exchange of 45% when booking a future cruise. It was much cheaper booking in US$ than CAD$. Certain CDN credit cards will offset the exchange rate.

On both Celebrity and HAL, dress up night means a long sleeved shirt with an optional tie. That's not me. I dress up with a jacket to compliment my wife.

We have cruised a lot: a bunch on Celebrity, a dozen or so with Princess and Royal, 20+ on HAL and one Norwegian, the Dream (aka the nightmare). In September 2022 we cruised on HAL Nieuw Statendam from Quebec to Boston and back and enjoyed the ship so much we booked 8 B2Bs over Christmas and New Year. We love this ship but the entertainment ie., theatre was mediocre on a good day. The "music walk" however was great from jazz to classical to the Rolling Stones. From reading the latest comments, the music is not as varied as it was a year ago. No one has better itineraries than HAL. The food is great, the service is wonderful but don't book because of the entertainment on board. The quality just varies too much.

The oldest Carnival ship, I thought was the Mardi Gras, purchased from Canadian Pacific and still uses the colours used by Canadian Pacific on their locomotives (a RR company)

We loved the old Westerdam, best theatre seats ever!

I'll be in the dark on my back porch during the Eclipse.

Does this count? I'm the guy in the middle on the Georgic, 1951
