    Dining making reservation

    in Celebrity Cruises

    We booked reservations for the 1st 2 nights on the Ascent.  We did it on the website not the app. 
     

    While there is no traditional ( fixed) dining on the E class some guests (or TA) book that, maybe in error and that blocks making reservations for Select Dining.  OP check which dining your booking shows.

    That’s exactly what happened. Booked us into fixed dining. I noticed it on the paperwork and got it changed and able to book now.  Thank you

    Covid testing

    in Royal Caribbean International

    Just an fyi, we ordered the at home tests through the Royal Caribbean web site. The company is changing shipping vendors. My friends got their tests within 2 days expedited shipping through FedEx.  We were a week.  Was on phone with the company many times last week.  Make sure you order at least a few weeks before your cruise.

    Classic Beverage Package

    in Celebrity Cruises

    Posted

    I know this has been asked, but things change daily on Celebrity right now.  We got the Classic Beverage Package as a perk.  When we get on board, will we get a sticker on our cards?  And when you go to a bar and get a bottle water that is included in the package- do you have to pay a tip??

    Thanks,

    Crown Princess Drags Anchor in Kotor

    in Princess Cruises

    Posted

    We were on deck 16 in gym when alarms sounded and when we looked over the ship we were much closer than the video shows!! I had taken photos before 6am with ship anchored in the middle of the bay. Water was lapping on the shoreline and the people on the shore must have been as horrified as us! This video link above shows when the side thrusters were operating to move away from the shallows. An absolute miracle no water ingress! We attended the Captain’s interview in the theatre on 05-05-18. He would make a good politician evading the questions and the truth. Princess cover up. Some serious mistakes were made risking passenger safety. It was not exciting as he described some passengers had described it. It was terrifying. Question whether the Crown Princess should have been in Kotor when a 1.5 hr wait for tugs as he explained?

     

    We were on the ship also. It was very, very scary. We were in the Princess Theater and I went out to go to the bathroom- noticed the shore was right there and got my sister. We went back to the cabin. We are seasoned cruiser and we got our to go bag ready. We were on the starboard side of the ship. We were only 50 ft from shore and knew this was NOT good. During that 1.5 hours it was a very stressful time- and we just kept looking at the fear in the people on the shoreline that was like oh no the ship is coming onto our houses. The crew was crying when we left the theater. The staff in the theater were given life jackets. There was NOT a single announcement from that staff. The dining room staff was trying to act like that was nothing at all. They were TOLD not to mention it. We had images of ourselves having to fly from Dubrovnik. The list of the ship was very bad also.

    Princess really dropped the ball on this one. It was a very scary situation and they decided to sweep it under the carpet. There was no compensation. The captain was removed after this sailing. I am sure that Princess- Los Angles got a phone call in the middle of the night.

    Any other cruise line would have at least given out free drinks that evening. The rest of the cruise was not the best. This just put a very soar tone on Princess.
