Thank you! I guess I don't even know what I mean. Maybe I mean an adaptor that we can plug our phones/ipads in to charge?

We are 5 short months away from our trip to Rome and then on to our cruise on the Ascent. Does anyone have a recommendation for a power adapter we can use in Rome and then at the end of our cruise in Athens?

We are staying at Hotel Lancelot pre-cruise. Do you remember the approximate cost of the breakfasts or dinners? I can't remember if the meals are included or not, but I think probably not.

Could you share some of your favorite restaurants near Hotel Lancelot? That is where we are staying in 2024 pre-cruise. Thanks!

Did you hear any feedback from people having dinner on the flying carpet? It's a bit pricey so I'm curious if it is worth the money.

Hi! I'm looking for feedback from those who have tried the various specialty dining options on the new Ascent. I know the ship is new, so maybe not a lot of feedback available yet. Thanks

I think we are ready to jump and book Hotel Lancelot for our stay next July. I would be interested to hear if anyone stayed there in the last several months, and if so, how was your stay? Thanks

This might be a strange question, but could anyone recommend a Rome hotel that has queen and/or king sized beds? I seem to be running into a lot of hotels that show the rooms have a double-size bed, and that won't work well for myself & my husband. Thanks!

The tours are of the major highlights, plus we would have a day to do whatever we want. Trying to find out what hotel would be included as that might also be am important piece.

We are on a Celebrity cruise next July. We leave from Rome (Civitavecchio). We plan to get to Rome a few days early so we have some time to explore. And eat. (Mostly eat). Celebrity offers a 3-night pre-cruise package for $1,444 that includes a driver pickup at the airport, hotel, 2 half-day tours and then transport to the port. Has anyone taken a package like this? Did you find it worthwhile? We are debating whether we could finding out own hotel/tours/transportation could result in spending less money, but taking up a bunch of time to research and book. It seems like there could be some comfort in having the cruise line take care of the details for us. Thoughts?

Thank you! The vlogs I saw were posted within the last couple of weeks, so I thought this was a current situation. I’m glad to hear it is not!

I have seen a number of video posts online from people who have taken Mediterranean cruises. They are saying don’t wear tennis shoes because it screams “tourist.” But, if I can expect to do a lot of walking, wouldn’t good tennis shoes be the most comfortable? What are other Mediterranean cruise travelers wearing for shoes?

I know different people can have different experiences. I have seen information online indicating you are not allowed to bring a backpack into Pompeii and also there are no lockers or valet-type holding area to drop your backpack. I have also seen information saying you can bring in a backpack-- though it didn't specify if there was some type of size-limit. And.... I have seen that you cannot bring in a backpack but there are lockers available to leave your backpack. Very confusing. I have a camera bag back pack that I would love to bring in just so I don't have to carry the camera around my neck. But, I do want to be respectful of whatever the rules are there. Thanks

I'm looking at excursions for Pompeii. It looks like 4 hrs is a typical time listed for the excursions. If I assume a total of 1 hr travel time, that would mean the time spent at Pompeii is more like 3 hrs? Or maybe 2 1/2 if there is time to get from the bus to inside. Is that enough time to get a look around? I know the place is huge so I don't expect to see everything. Alternatively, would it be recommended to find our own transportation there and have a pre-hired guide so we could spend a longer time there? I would love some feedback from those who have been there. Thanks!

The ships & rules belong to Celebrity. As long as those rules are applied equally across the board, that is all I care about. (ie, if women can wear dress shorts to MDR, so can men) There are ample dining options so if I don't want to abide by the dress code one evening, I can find somewhere else to eat.
