Arizona Wildcat

Had an incredible amount of drinking on a special 14 day Mediterranean cruise for the 100th Anniversary of Gallipoli. 1400 Aussie's, 400 Kiwis, the rest Brits and a very few from NA. Ran out of beer on day 5! No fights. Just never an open seat at any bar. Bartenders simply opened bottle after bottle and set them out.

They indeed cannot. Issue is docking berths. They need Vancouver.

Have Ben notified as late as 12 hours before departure and only when I checked the Celebrity app.

According to Captain of Summit ships are sailing full with a few cabins as always kept open. The current Summit sailing was 94% capacity. On Summit those who tested positive were quarantined in their own cabins. If partner was negative they were offered their own cabin.

Nothing you would want to purchase. Cash out through the casino if needed and buy at home.

Easy question - NO.

Very amusing. No delays? Maybe in Bozeman Montana. Canada lately is worse than the US.

A couple hundred were there this afternoon. Maybe 2 dozen this morning.

The spouse was at customer relations. Clearly very upset. A member of security stood quietly nearby. Agree service greatly improved. Just wish communication about Canada port requirements was done properly. Tomorrow morning in St. Johns should be interesting for those not following the directions - very confusing and changed again in the nightly program.

They are NOT mailed. Absolutely no worth discussing. Simply have porter. tag them at the pier. If you want to risk paper tags then print the last page of your boarding documents in color

Yes. Discussed in many threads. You can use OBC to purchase chips or slot play. They must be bet, but winnings can be cashed out.

We spent about 3 weeks touring Iceland before the cruise. Brought wool beanies- twice. Rain jackets- twice. Zip hoodies- almost daily. Long underwear- once. Gloves- never. Sweaters- almost daily. Thin layers. Iceland is rarely below 25F at the ocean even in winter. Always warm in the very intense sun.

Have we established that the supply chain for beverages is difficult yet and you might or might not find a specific brand on board? On Summit today and the house chardonnay has changed from Seeker (awful IMO) to a variety of labels that varied from bar to bar. Sunset Bar was making vodka tonics with Titos. Today you never know.

Denny, it all has been on the honor system since proctored tests came into existence.

Whilst we have found drink service on entering the theater, we have always brought our drinks in because service stops when the show starts and we often had not received our beverage. That is not likely to ever change. Really not hard to bring a drink from another venue. Summit is sailing full today. Service is sometimes difficult, but staff are doing their very best. One simply needs to be a bit flexible. Most on board are and are enjoying themselves. A few are not. . . .

Maybe and maybe not. TAs often have access to group fares that are a bit both lower priced, include various perks and are usually refundable until final payment. Group fares with perks in the past have been somewhat lower in price than individual fares with no perks. One needs to ask questions.

The reason as explained to me is the cruiselines were given a maximum number of days - there is more demand that available space - so RCCL had little choice. We were in Isafjordur for two nights last weekend. As many as 4 ships each day in port each day. The passengers overwhelmed the town. Unbelievable number of tourists in Iceland. Every hotel we visited fully booked. Etc.

If it clears best viewing from about midnight to 12:45am. Fingers crossed for no clouds

We registered together. Paid for two tests - one for each of us Obviously each person needs their own test. One session. Took 16 minutes total.

It never has in recent years. With OBC you get credits that must be bet or lost. Winnings can be cashed out.

You will have lots of choices. Probably have seen 20000 waterfalls. Hope the weather forecast is wrong as rain forecast starting this afternoon.

Probably easier, especially with a stop, to use Uber or Lyft. About $40-50 when we used them. No waiting for them to fill the bus.

Then there is a list of countries where there are exceptions. One needs to be aware of the requirements for their specific cruise ports.

There lots of blankets on board. Don't bring one. It is also not that cold. You are on the ocean so it moderates the temps.

Why is it strange? With covid many tour operators went out of business. New ones are forming and X needs to vet the new operators. With all the issues today they work on closest cruises first.
