Btw, I agree with @sippican. 16 night MP cruise tour should have 7 nights on Flora. I’m not aware of any 10 night sailing but I could be wrong. 
 

See this link as an example. 7 nights/8 days on Flora. 

It appears you are both correct. I didn't notice the nights in Quito on the front end. I just looked at the disembarkation was on day 10.  

Thanks for bringing this to my attention.

Yes. You get Club Points for each night on land or sea at the rate that your cabin is set to earn. You’ll even see that in your projected point total in your Cruise Planner. 

Cool, good to know, thanks!

 Are you sure the Flora package has 10 days at sea?Their itineraries are usually 7 day sailings with a 2 or 3 day post/pre. I did do the X MP extension and it was excellent in every aspect.

Yes, this one is 10+6.  BTW, did you earn Celebrity points for ALL nights, including the extension, or just for 7 nights aboard the ship?

Just noticed you also asked abut guides. Our guides were terrific. Took care of everything, if we needed anything they helped and if we didn't want to do something, they had no problem with us staying on the bus or waiting somewhere along the way, to be picked up when the group passed on the way back.

Followup question... Did you get Celebrity points for all 16 nights or just the nights at sea? Since these are suites @ 8 point/night, 16 nights would get me into elite/diamond with x/rc. That would be a nice bonus. Thx

I was scheduled to go on a 16-day Tauck/Silversea combo vacation in 2025.  Unfortunately, the ship will  now be undergoing maintenance, so the trip was cancelled.  I’ve been on Tauck trips before and I think the services was fantastic.  I “feel” like that combination of Tauck and Silversea would have to be a notch above, however, I recently noticed that Celebrity Flora also has a 16-day package that includes 10 days at sea and the rest on land in Peru/Machu Picchu.  The itineraries look similar and the pricing is almost the same (about $17k/pp).  Since I’ve never done a Celebrity trip that involved a land portion, I have no idea how the hotels and guides compare to Tauck (which were top notch).  Does anyone have any comparative insights that might help me decide if I should snag the Celebrity trip instead, or just wait for another Tauck/SilverSea opportunity?  Thanks!

We stayed on the ship and traversed the canal and I'm glad we did.  I don't think the point to point land trip on a bus would have been as relaxing or enjoyable.   The canal is a unique experience that's worth doing.  

Just my two cents.

We will be on Journey in a month and I notice that I am not able to reserve any of my dining until I get on board.  It seems like this would mean that everyone would be lining up to find out what to do as soon as they board.  Can someone tell me what the process is for booking dining as early as possible and maybe provide some tips for the best way to avoid a line?

I am interested in buying a dining package like “Chef’s table plus 4”, but I don’t want to buy it if I can’t get desirable time slots.

Thanks for any tips you can provide!

My wife and I are taking a Cruise on Azamara Journey in June. As we head from Amsterdam to Copenhagen we are scheduled to spend one day traversing the Kiel Canal.  However, I noticed that the website offer shore excursion that day, which I thought was strange.  I’m assuming that these are land-based point-to-point tours offered as an alternative to staying on the boat, but none of that is clear in the descriptions. 

The tours are:

  - Medieval Luebeck 

  - Panoramic Hamburg 

Who can tell me if they think doing one of these tours is worth it over whatever I might see just staying on the ship?

Thanks!

My bad... Sorry for the unintentional gender reassignment.   

As Merion_Man said,  the answer is to call customer service.  I had the same problem.  In my case, the email address I was logging in with was not tied to the correct C&A profile, so, the rep on the phone was able to associate the correct C&A account to my name and my history all came up.

Hey everyone, Thanks!  That was the exact answer I needed. 

On a side note, this is my first-ever question posted to CC and I received four good answers in like 7 minutes.  Kudos to your all, I’m impressed! 😃

Is there a way I can view my (or my wife’s) Crown and Anchor points activity?  My wife and I have 19 points (Gold) but I’d like to see if there is a breakdown of how we got them.   I am NOT asking how they are earned, I’ve already read that.  I just want to know if there is a way to view HOW & WHEN they were earned. 

Thanks!
