Thank you everyone for their comments. 
We will be sailing on the Quest end of September 2024.

Has anyone embarked an Azamara ship in Villefranche Sur Mer?

If you have, we would very much much appreciate both positive and negative comments you may have.

It just seems to be to small a port to embark from.

Don’t apologize or change anything because one person is complaining. A thorough review of another line from a Celebrity cruiser’s perspective is welcome and appreciated. Keep doing what you’re doing. Thanks!

Agreed, please carry on and thank you !!!

Wishing you a speedy recovery Norris, hopefully you will be home soon.

We reside in the UK (we do understand the general principle of tipping) and always tip bar tenders/ servers/ cabin stewards etc but would never remove the gratuities being only too aware of all the hard working individuals behind the scenes that ensure that our cruise is a good one. We understand that the gratuities are part of what we sign up to and would not remove them.  Thankfully not everyone from the UK follows your actions and do recognise the hard work that the staff put in for all of us and therefore would not penalise them because of the way that they interpret company policies.

Being from the UK we dont have the tipping culture of our American cousins. It is an alien concept to us and really rare that we tip anybody apart from giving cash to the cabin steward.

 

I have no qualms whatsoever in removing auto tipping and always have done on Princess and HAL, this is based on the opinion that having paid the company to provide a service, it is then up to the company to remunerate employees to provide said service to a satisfactory standard. 

 

We use P&O a lot where its not an issue, and yes we are fully aware its in the price. We will not go with lines that do not allow us to remove tips.

 

And, lets face it, not all the 'gratuities' finds its way to the staff.

However, the balcony would not have been ‘sweet’ on deck 6, this is significantly smaller.

Have enjoyed your review so much, your photos, outfits and the fantastic commentary. Thank you so much!

Good luck with the summer house renovation !!

Jim. When you get off then ferry in Yarmouth go to a cafe called Gossips. You cannot miss it. It is sited at the start of the pier. Lovely crab rolls.

if you have time visit Queen Victoria’s home Osborne House. 

I've always wanted to visit Mont Saint-Michel       I recently read a Mystery set there (for the life of me I can't remember the author or title  -  

Susan Kiernan-Lewis?

Thoroughly enjoyed your review! Thank you !! 

Hello from the uk and thanks to all who have posted here.

We called celebrity uk today, never expecting anything ….  but not only was the phone answered after about 10 minutes but we were able to rebook our original cabin(although the category is sold out)

saving £180.00 and also received the $300 obc!!

Cruised with celebrity many times but this is the first time that we have achieved this.
Happy Days 😊

Thanks again all. 

Sorry that should be we are also in the UK🙃….

Hello,

we are also in the us and wondered if we are correct in understanding that the current offer of second passenger travelling half price only applies to bookings up to May 2022, ours is October 2022. We booked with celebrity UK

Many thanks

Just called (okay 90 minutes on hold) and managed a $168 reduction on our March 2022 cruise which I booked on the USA site with $300 obc added. Unfortunately all my future cruises are with the UK call centre and the Best off Guarantee only goes up until 4th May. It is an alien concept in the UK - you take your chances with the price unless you can cancel and rebook. I will become depressed if I look at them so spitefully booked an Oceania Antartica cruise today.

Thank you so much for your reply jwlane, that is very helpful, and for the photo of the balcony -wow!!

This has helped us to make up our mind to book that cabin for next year.

Thanks again and all the best.

I can personally vouch for 12265 and 7315 on Apex, as we had both last month.  Loooong balconies.  Great cabins.

Hi Jwlane 
thank you for your post.

I just wondered whether when you were in 7315  you experienced any noise issues from Eden?

 Thanks in advance 

Ray Brown Jnr.

Thank you so very much for your review Annie from us in Wales.

We have so enjoyed your review and the love and enthusiasm of your first cruise, it only gets better......So here’s  to your next one nothing beats the sound of the ping as you board the ship -happy days. You have brightened ours during this very sad lockdown period.

With all good  wishes to you and Dave  and all our fellow cruisers out there - stay safe ,stay well.

Listen to the Lion....

 

Big Ben in the distance

 

 

I was wondering where the homeless people sleep and as I crossed over to Northumberland Avenue on my way to the hotel I found an answer....in tents

 

A widely seen coffee chain

 

 

Listen to the Lion. One of my favourite Van Morrison songs. I now claim my free pint of Guinness. 

Thoroughly enjoying your review- as always.
