Thanks for the heads up Fouremco.  I hope you're right.

Very disappointed with the Canadian regulations now that the US has opened the land border.  Most of us spend a few hours down there to shop and collect mail.  If we have to have a PCR to return home, this effectively keeps the border closed for day trippers.

This was frustrating me so much I was nearly tearing my hair out.  I was at the point where I was going to stop looking at Cruise Critic altogether.  I also could not get into my cruise planner when they had that 20% off excursions.  DH is a computer expert, so he decided it was time to get rid of Windows and resort to Linux.  It is a steep learning curve for me but I have no more trouble posting.  Yay.

I was happy to receive 4 points today also.  I think I will give up though, on trying to get them to give me my 5 points for watching the Apex webinar the second time they showed it.  i will never reach zenith anyway, so what does it matter?

We have an aft balcony booked for the Suez Canal cruise (not Celebrity) and I can't wait.  It's the thought of sitting out there watching the wake and seeing both sides of the canal that is helping to get me through this horrible COVID that is affecting people in ways no one ever dreamed of.

We like it better.  The short ribs are outstanding.  Also love the Lava cakes. 

Congratulations to Captain Kate!

I can see i'm going to have to diet before next July!  The food looks awesome.  Thank you for posting.

Wow, I've never hear of anyone doing that.  Of course, you're on the right side of the country for TA's  Bon Voyage to you.

"We found out that CLIA did actually change this requirement on April 3rd," said Freed. "A health form is no longer required for those travelers ages 70 plus, nor are there restrictions for those guests with underlying health conditions."

So this age note thing had about a three week lifespan - and good riddance to it

Thank goodness for that.  Thanks for posting.  We are 76 and 77 presently.

I noticed it too and was going to ask you if COVID was a thing of the past!  Then I decided to crawl back into my box and not to be cheeky!  As usual Jazzbeau is on the ball and corrected it.

Thank you so much for your posts and pictures.  This means a lot to an Azamara newbie.

I agree, the price of this cruise is way up.  I do hope it sails.

Thanks for posting.  So nice you enjoyed your trip.  If we wanted to sail on Millennium, we'd have to fly to Seattle!!

To answer your question, cruisintoddler, this site began maybe mid April.  I remember when there were only 3 threads.  It has really grown and there's a ton of good information on here especially in this confusing COVID era.

I can't even get into my cruise planner on either Firefox or Chrome.  Yay Celebrity.  Good job!  Why don't you just send us an email and tell us you don't want our business?  Then we wouldn't be wasting our time on your useless site.

I have written to them 3 times to get the PUP for watching the follow up showing of the Apex webinar.  Nada.  I have given up.  i hope you have better luck Cruising Divers.

At LCG, leave room for the warm chocolate chip cookie. 😊

No don't!  Then you'll want another............😋

I would choose Silhouette also because of the Lawn Club Grill.  Wonder what was wrong when MarkWiltonM dined there.

Getting back to non-raft stuff:

Beginner Bridge classes

Towel folding exhibit, demonstration & Classes. They had an entire Zoo with like 50 animals roaming  the pool area. 

 

What ship was the towel folding exhibit shown on? 

No need to be sorry for asking questions.  That's what CC is for.  Which ship are you looking at?  Some don't have casinos, some have DIY laundry.  We have found that generally the southern route is the smoothest, ie Florida to Lisbon/Rome etc.  We have done 2 involving the northern route, Miami to Hamburg and Southampton to Boston.  Both were a bit rough but this does not bother us.  On the one to Boston, they had to tie the furniture down on our balconies and we were advised not to go out there.  A good cruise to book an inside or O/V!!

We love the westbound because of the 25 hour days.  We book portside because it is sunnier.  Of course that means starboard sailing eastbound.  Also love the relaxed days with nowhere to be at any time.  Love the trivia, lectures, cooking demos etc.  I'm sure you will enjoy whatever you book.

I sailed In July and then I went again last month to Alaska and I leave on Oct 6th for another cruise out of Lisbon🙂 I am making up for lost time.😀

Today's the day Lois.  Bon Voyage!  Lisbon is a lovely city so I hope you have a little time there before you sail.

We have always had the port fees returned when a port was cancelled and replaced by a sea day.  Jeju island comes to mind.

I am disappointed for you.   There is no comparison between Grand Cayman and Falmouth.  We stayed within the gated area when we were in Falmouth and got bored quickly.  Jamaica can be dangerous (thus the gated area) and the hawkers can be very aggressive.  It's too bad there is no docking area for cruise ships in Montego Bay as it's quite nice.  Perhaps you should look at the cruise ship tours.  Ocho Rios is quite nice also.  We have been to Jamaica several times, staying in resorts and enjoyed ourselves so that is why I suggest you get out of Falmouth on a tour if you can.

I have looked at some of your videos again and your wife looks so familiar to me.  I think we must have met you on a cruise somewhere but we haven't sailed since the Eclipse in South America 2020, one of the last cruises that sailed before COViD took over.

Great videos.  This is just like being on the ship.  Thank you.
