  1. We are doing aback to back cruises in May on Constellation.

    On the first cruise from Barcelona to Venice we had booked a Rome  excursion only to be

    advised it was cancelled. So we then booked another excursion at a higher cost which included lunch.

    Now they tell us the lunch that was included has been dropped for the tour to allow more time for

    on our own sightseeing near the Vatican. We contacted them and were told there was no compensation for

    the lunch we now have to purchase on our own.

    On our second cruise leaving Venice on the 21st, we had booked 4 excursions only to be notified two had been

    cancelled and a refund to my cc would come in 2-3 months! Now our reservation number has been changed and all other excursions

    are cancelled with refunds to be issued in 2-3 months.

    Has anyone else had the same issues with either their excursion being cancelled or their reservation number changing?

    Any advice would be appreciated.

    We think they should rename the ship the  Celebrity Cancellation!

     

    Cheers!

     

  2. We will be doing a back to back cruise with the first ending and the second starting in Venice in May 2019.

    We arrive at 6:30 am and leave at 6:00 pm

    We want to get into St Marks and also do a gondola ride in the short time we will be there.

    Does anyone know if Celebrity offers any water boat transportation from the port to or near St Marks Square?

    If not can someone let us know a fairly accurate time to walk from the port to St Mark's and what is the most straight forward

    path to take?

     

    Any piece of info is greatly appreciated.

  4. We will be cruising Celebrity Solstice in New Zealand in November and would like some opinions on excursions in both Akaroa and Dunedin.

    In Akaroa we would like to see Christchurch have narrowed it down to either of the following two excursions:

     

    1. Christchurch & Countryside
    2. Christchurch on your own

    In Dunedin we have narrowed it down to the following excursions:

     

    1. Dunedin Highlights
    2. Otagos Wild Wonders
    3. Dunedin Panorama
    4. Otago Penguin & Dunedin Panorama Experience.

    Any info or suggestions about any or all of these tours will be appreciated and helpful to make our decision.

    Thanks in advance for any replies!

  6. Hi All, thanks for the suggestions.

    I should have said that we are cruising from new Zealand to Sydney on Solstice and then are doing a land tour for 12 days and we had one day at the end in Brisbane that we had no plans for. We do not have a vehicle and that is why the thought of a local tour to Stradbroke might peek our interest as the pictures looked nice.

    Is Tangalooma Resort on Moreton Island a better choice for a day of relaxing and seeing different part of the area?

    Can anyone suggest a good reliable tour company to use?

     

    Any help is always appreciated!

    Cheers!

  7. We will be in Brisbane in early December and want to take a day tour to Stradbroke Island. We have narrowed it down to two tour operators.

    Queensland Day Tours and Tours to Go.

    Both offer the identical itinerary and costs.

    Can anyone tell me if they have dealt with either of these companies and if there were any issues from booking to the tour itself?

     

    Thanks, Norm

  9. We ended up doing the walk in the cloud tour.

    It was over and hour each way to get there.

    The Humming birds were neat and the bridges were OK.

    Unless you are a nature lover I would suggest either doing

    the Aerial tram rain forest adventure or Poas volcano, Sarchi, country drive

    but of course that is my opinion only.

     

    Have fun!

  10. I am sorry you feel we are mindless "navybankerteacher" !!

    We DID try to get a hotel for a couple of days prior to our arrival but it is FLEET WEEK as you should probably know given your user name. I am not going to pay $600.00 a night for a hotel. We just wanted to get info on the best places for quick walk around the area.

     

    Thanks for nothing "navybankerteacher"

     

    To all other positive posters, thank you !

  11. We will be on the Celebrity Infinity October 7th cruising from San Francisco through the Panama Canal to Fort Lauderdale. We were wondering if there will be time to visit San Francisco quickly before the chip embarks at 5:00

    We arrive to San Fran at 8:30 on the 7th. Is it realistic to think we can get in some sightseeing? Will we be allowed to come back off of the ship after we go through customs and board the ship?

    Any suggestions or info that would help us?

     

    Thanks,

    Norm & Lisa

  12. Has anyone gone on the celebrity excursion "A walk in the clouds" ?

    If so was it a good tour?

     

    We are going in October and trying to find a good tour to take for 5 or 6 hours. Any info will be helpful.

     

    If you have any other suggestions that would be appreciated too!

     

    Thanks,

  15. Hi gtmtourguide, thank you for your input.

    We will also be on the Celebrity cruise in October and are trying to narrow down our shore excursion for Guatemala.

    If not the lake Atitlan tour, which one would you recommend?

    We are a couple in our early 50's and like to see the old sites and

    appreciate the history side of our tours. We are not into the coffee bean tours or jade tours.

     

    thanks in advance!
