We usually cruise with Celebrity and bring 2 bottles of wine on for consumption in our room and have never paid a corkage fee, so this is new to me. If we carry it on, do they charge you at embarkation when you are going through security?

What do you mean that every bottle of wine has a corkage fee? Even if you open and drink it in your room?

Thank you for the ideas!

Yes it is

We have been to St Thomas many times however this trip we will have my 95 year old mother with us. She gets around well (she goes to the gym 4x per week, lives alone and drives), however we will have a wheelchair for longer walks. We are looking for something other than beach, sailing or shopping. Any ideas? We will be on the Holland America Rotterdam which I believe will be using Crown Bay.

At Art Mel's they asked what we wanted on it. We got it with tartar sauce, coleslaw and hot sauce on their cinnamon raisin bread. A person after us got it with lettuce, tomato and fried onions on wheat bread. You can really have it however you would like.

I agree, Art Mels is worth it. It really isn't a bad walk...only about half an hour and lots to see on the way.

We just got home from Bermuda today. We walked to Art Mels from the ferry pier in Hamilton and it took about an half an hour. You obviously could get a taxi, but we enjoy walking. There isn't anywhere to sit and eat at Art Mel's, so we walked down the street to Pembroke playground and ate at a picnic table in the park. We have had his fish sandwich before, and I think it is definitely the best one in Bermuda! It is HUGE, so we got one to split, done the traditional way on cinnamon raisin bread with coleslaw and hot sauce. It was delicious!

Thank you!

We will be on the Summit this Sunday 7/2. Does anyone know who the current captain and cruise director are?

We had Fre wine by the glass on The Summit. We went to the Rendevous lounge and talked with the bar manager. She made sure that it was available there every night for us. NA beer was available in most bars and they would make mocktails at almost any bar. We liked the NA mojitos

Thank you Hank, we will definitely do that! I used to own a bakery and I do love a good pastry 🙂

I have been doing some research and I think we will spend 3 days in Lisbon. Day one when we get off the ship I think we will do Rick Steves walking tour through the downtown neighborhoods of Alfama, Baixa, Bairro Alto/Chiado. Day 2 Sintra Day 3 Trolley to Belem We like to walk and explore and take our time. I think this schedule will allow this. Please let me know if anyone has suggestions.

We will be debarking the Celebrity Infinity on October 30th in Lisbon, then get on the Celebrity Apex on November 5th in Barcelona. I am trying to figure out how we should split those 6 days. A half a day will be taken up by time at the airport and flying between the cities, so we basically have 5 and a half days. We will be back in Barcelona next April for another TA, so we will have more time in Barcelona then. How many days should we allow for Lisbon?

We were on the Summit last July and got Fre every night at the wine bar before dinner. We had the classic package that was part of the all inclusive.
