Can be done at the buffet, they have a specific British section at breakfast time. Fried bread, black pudding, fried tomatoes, baked beans, British style bacon, etc.

It’s three hours from Messina to Palermo by train, it would be very tight but technically doable. The good news is the Messina Centrale train station is only about a ten minute walk from the port. If you think you can make it to the station by 07:55 the train will get you to Palermo just before 11:00. You’d have to be back at the Palermo station by 14:30 to catch the train that will get you back to Messina at 17:38. Personally, I wouldn’t risk it as any delay will mean you miss the ship but if you’re desperate….

I would totally do this on my own. It’s very easy to navigate from the port to the train station in Civitavecchia, €6 pp for the port shuttle. You may find that a lot of taxis will decline the short ride to the train station as they’re looking for trips to Rome. Once you arrive at Roma Termini it’s very easy to get around on foot or by taxi.

Can’t tell you about JD but Crown Royal was $11 so there was a $1 + 18% up charge. We had lots of OBC so didn’t upgrade our drink packages, instead we just paid the up charges and this worked out to be significantly cheaper than buying the premium package.

Are you sure you’re still stopping at Santa Margherita? My understanding was that Celebrity has substituted Genoa instead.

Great news about the new liquor supplier. Maybe we can get some Canadian whiskey, Crown Royal or Wisers would be awesome. Heck, I’d even settle for Canadian Club.

From the e-docs for my upcoming cruise:

Do you have a letter from the ship outlining how much the FCC will be? After waiting about six months for my credit I called in and was asked to email the letter while still on the phone and the credit showed up in my account within the hour.

Yes you can reply to the forwarded android message from your iPad. Your assumption that it would be routed back through your iPhone is correct. Of course this only works when your iPhone is in close proximity to your iPad.

You can receive text messages from an Android phone on your iPad if you turn on “text message forwarding” option. This is done on your iPhone, not on your iPad in the Messages settings.

EVERYTHING you do on the internet is tracked.

We were on Regal in May/June and my wife was in isolation for five days. About a month ago I finally gave up waiting for the FCC to be credited and called Princess. My call was answered almost immediately but I had to be transferred to another department and the agent warned me it would be about a two hour wait. I figured I’ve waited this long, what’s another two hours. After about an hour and 45 minutes the call was answered and was handled very efficiently. Thankfully I had a letter from guest services on the ship proving that we were eligible for the FCC they asked me to email it while I was on the call and within an hour the credit was there. Took a while, but we have almost enough to pay one persons fare for a Caribbean cruise this winter.

Trip of a lifetime! Looking forward to following along.

Might not need it as the light right outside the bathroom is motion activated.
