    The $1 deposit is an annual sale. Not an everyday thing with HAL.

     

    For the $100 FCC, can someone buy it online now and transfer it to me? Or is there fees, ect that won't allow it?

    FCC is only available Onboard and is not transferable.Most Cruises carry a deposit of $530 and upwards depending on Length and Price of Room,

  2. Norway is expensive on a whole. So anything you do or purchase will reflect that. we are going in Sept. 2025 and are looking at excursions, but just like others mentioned even private ones are pricey.

    In Flam you can buy the Train tickets for alot less then thru Celebrity. In Geiranger the Kayak tours are less but not by much. 

    I suggest you Google all the Ports and see what is offered at what price, thats what I am doing,and if Celebrity is having a sale I know I know if its good or not.

    That is one pro/con is the no curtains.

    PRO: Don't have to worry about the edge flopping and not closing properly

    CON: With no curtain, does the frosted French doors do enough to keep the light out at night?

    There is an electric blind that can come down, you can control how far you want it closed.

    When looking at the Caribbean itineraries, it looks like Silhouette, Reflection or Summit.  I will be taking a closer look when we head home next week.  Currently, full time grandparenting duties as daughter and husband have back to back weddings.  Babies can be tiring for grandparents who are 66 and 63..,lol

    Try keeping up with a 4 y old 😄

  5. We were on Expedition in Jan,2022, I had booked this in Feb. 2020, we chose Expedition for Price at the time. Due to Covid still being a factor, there were only 34 ppl onboard. We quickly bonded with 3 other couples, less people onboard means quicker loading and unloading of Zodiacs,therefor getting to the landing spots quicker.

    There was at that time not really any entertainment onboard.Don't know about that now.  

  6. If you rent a car opt for the NAVI (GPS) option. German Autobahn can be crazy especially on a Sunday, lots of daytrippers. One accident and the 1,5 hr drive can turn into 3-4 hrs.

    Another option is to look into taking a train to Kiel. www.bahn.de, choose your language.

  7. Yes these rooms are IV Balcony, your view down will be tenderboats and deck 5, and yes you will have a bit of a blocked view to your left. 

    I was trying to attach a pix but it would only attach upside down, sorry.

    This is perfect!  Thanks. How great to learn from someone who has done the same thing our captain will be doing.  It makes total sense and sounds like a great day.  We'll need to see if one of the tours provides a worthwhile dockside experience. I can't imagine we'll ever have the opportunity to do a canal transit, so we want to take as mush as possible away with us.

    People who were on our cruise and took the Kayaking tour and others took the Nature tour were not satisfied. The Guides according to them did not know the names of the Wildlife they were seeing. We took the Panama City and Agua Clara Locks tour, 1hr at the Locks Visitor ctr, which in our opinion is tooo long.The drive to the City is long, but we enjoyed the tour of the Old City, albeit it was hot..

    Drive back was also long but I think all in all it was better choice then the other tours offered.

     

  9. There are pay items in Eden cafe but most items are free.It is open 7:30 - 9:00 for breakfast, lunch only on Seadays. Short hours so.

    Get a drink at the Eden bar and sit outside it is quiet there. 

    Don't know about the chicken Gyoza, but everything we had was delicious. They have a seafood tower.

    Staff very friendly.

  10. We are having a long day in Aruba, my thoughts are, getting a taxi to give us a tour of Island then drop us at Arashi beach and we take the bus back to Port.

    Anyone done a similar experience? 

    How much are Taxis in Aruba for a few hrs?

    Other plan would involve  renting a car. 

    Your thoughts please.

     

    TIA

  11. you can choose Cruise only, and prepay the daily Service Charges (these go to Room attendent, Waiters and all the behind the scene workers),

    You can chose ALLInc. wich includes Drinks and wifi and of course Cruise AND then ADD the Service charges. with this choice there should be no extras other then what you mentioned.

    Should your drink be over the alloted amount there is an upcharge +20%.
