Planning a Greek isles cruise and would like to do some diving there. Does anyone have any recommendations for operations there.

thanks

Grand cayman,go to Eden Rock,it’s a short walk from the tender drop off

I also did the scuba excursion in GC,it was with cayman divers right near the port. They only reason we did this was because we were able to use OBC,lesson learned!

the experience was mediocre at best,very rushed,no wall dive,all

they cared about was the tip. They barely gave us enough surface interval to be safe,no margin for error. They offered only lukewarm water onboard. Will never dive with them again.

i wrote my concerns to both Cayman Divers and Celebrity,I never received a reply.

they don’t care. Get a private company or rent gear at Eden rock and do a great shore dive.

If you go to a local dive shop they can give you great snorkeling instruction. Letting you practice in a pool the skills you’ll need. 

We were only allowed to do this once,the rest of the week the transfer option was not available on slots.

We used our unused OBC for tips

this was on Reflection 

On board now,my spouse and I was able to each cashout $100 of non refundable OBC in the casino,after that the transfer option was not available.

we are using the rest for tips.FYI

Just off Liberty, the food and especially the service in the main dining room was very good. There were always enough choices on the menu that I could find something I liked. Granted,some of the dishes were better than others but it was all very good. Some members of our party are very particular foodies and they were happy with the food. The waiters were asking us with each course if we like the food and they would be happy to get us something else if we liked. Also the timing of the food was very good.

sorry,no complaints:)

Aw to bad we couldn’t say hi.  We thought about heading to MDR a few times but just never made it or were pre occupied doing other things.  I agree I really enjoyed this cruise and wish it was longer.  Weather in the ports was great.  Little windy that day in Halifax but not terrible.  

We might have seen you in the Diamond lounge! It was not crowded at all

We were on the same cruise! The crew and service were great,we really enjoyed it. Too bad you didn’t eat dinner in the MDR it was really very good,dinner service was top notch.

Don’t leave out Cozumel,diving on Palncar reef is spectacular!

Thanks all appreciate the advice!

We are going on our first Mediterranean cruise next year. Will they exchange dollars for euros on board,and how is the exchange rate? Or is there a better way?
thanks!

Roatan divers! Very good experience 

It’s part of the check in process,do the check in and it will come up

On what day? The fuel barge blocking the Eclipse was on the east berth, the Eclipse was facing the opposite direction, and currently has a dark blue hull (not white). The ship shown in the west berth in this picture isn't the Disney Wonder.

 

(Also, it looks like BC Place still has its old roof in that photo, which would put this image from 2010 or earlier.)

The date on the webcam said today,must have been wrong sorry 

You can see the fuel barge in this pic,taken at @5 pm est

I got $100 can at the Vancouver airport,we stayed in Vancouver for four days, was able to use credit card for everything. Exchanged it all back at the airport when we got back from our cruise. Don’t bother.

I had a few of those cheaper cameras,Nikon,Fuji,Olympic, all have leaked and are no good and the company wouldn’t fix. Do yourself a favor,get a go pro and get the extra underwater housing. Works as a camera or video. You’ll be glad you did.

those cameras are really meant for underwater 

Love the Caesar salad on the buffet,ask for anchovies!

can you please tell me more about the suite lounge?  thanks!!!

The suite Lounge is a lot like the Diamond lounge, a place to ge a drink and a snack before dinner. If you need something the concierge is there to help.

we really enjoyed it. Met a lot of nice folks.

We had an owners suite on explorer last month,we loved it great room! The suite lounge bartenders are great ! Enjoy!

When trying to book a dinner reservation, more than once I got the “ oh,you’re in a junior suite” not a “ yes sir how can I help you! “  if you know what I mean. 

Trust me I get it,you get what you pay for. The whole CK experience leaves a bad taste,so to speak. The knocking on the door, the general attitude of the host towards JK guests. It’s totally unnecessary. After being in a sky suite on Celebrity, it opened my eyes to what a suite experience is like. 

Just got off Equinox in a Sky Suite, we loved it ! Prepare for a wonderful cruise!
