    Hobby or Bush?

    Bush,  and I was confused with "round trip"?  As we embark in Southhampton I wasn't sure what was being asked.  We may or may not keep the transfer as we will explore private transportation nearer to the cruise.  We have used Princess transfers in the past and were not a fan.  As was mentioned, waiting around for a full bus and then, sorry to say, but "chair hogs".  By that I mean individuals occupying two seats (one for self and one for luggage).  

  2. Thank you seems not enough.  My wife and great friends will be traveling this route in December and then on to a second AMA cruise from Basel to Amsterdam.  As if I wasn't excited enough I came upon your post.  We have actually done this route before and loved it so much we chose it again.  You captured the beauty and wonderment of the Danube.  Thank you so much for your time and effort.

    These two cabins and balconies would be the same. It's all about location. R317 is in a nice easy to find location convenient to the forward stairs and elevators. L210 has cabins below, but sits directly below the Retreat Pool. Of course L210 should be less expensive than R317, MF vs MB.

    Thank you.  I was concerned about noise form the Retreat as far as furniture movement, etc.  We normally stay several decks lower and were wondering about movement as we cross the Atlantic.  We have had some rough crossings!  I love 'em. wife hates 'em!

  4. On Princess Cruise line durng a transatlantic decided to "try" to get a seat at the Chef's Table (diners, total of 12,  are selected via lottery from all who sign up).  We lucked out, got selected.  The dinner starts with a tour of the galley and drinks and appetizers.  I looked at my wife and said "who would of thought a country bunpkin from little "name of town I grew up, Missouri" would be standing here in the middle of the Atlantic ocean.  The lady near by perked up and said "Did you say (name of town) Missouri?".   Her brother lived in this town and her brother knew my sister.  She had visited there many times.  Eleven years later we are still friends with this lady and her husband even though we lived on oppisite coasts of the country.  

  5. At least I told the truth.....more questions.  Our friends are not in a suite.  We will eat at many of the specialty resturants togehter but how do we arrange to eat in the MDR with them?   Ask the butler to arrange?  And thank you for the table for two recommendation.  We will dine just together on several evenings.  Thanks again all!

  6. Again, thank you all!  We are traveling with friends so date and ship are fixed.  As was said by wkr2cruise, inventory is very limited.  I will keep a watch and see if any of the recommended cabins become available.  

     

    One more question (really, not true I will think of many more).  It states specialty coffee in cabin.  Does this mean a coffee maker or...????  Love me some early morning coffee on the balcony without having to leave the room or order room service.

  7. We are brand new to Celebrity.  We normally sail Princess just to give some background.  Booked the Baltic for 8/21 on the Reflection and hoping!

     

    I have tried to research/youtube/etc. and am wondering what all the perks of a suite on Celebrity is like.  I know the basics as the 4 perks, dedicated dining room but thought I would ask the experts here on Cruise Critic.  What do I need to know?????  My wife just wants a bath tub so she is happy!!!!   It seems there are always things you don't know about and thus miss.  Thanks to all in advance!

     

     

  8. Hey Bob!

    Hope you are well.

     

    My wife and I had one of these on our 10 day Caribbean in April 2017 on the Royal. We would never book one again. The wind while cruising made them all but unusable. In port you had to stand to view anything. If you like watching the ocean, as we do, do not chose one of these. I am sure statistically the cabins are bigger than a traditional mini suite but we felt cramped and just didn't like the layout. Maybe we are creatures of habit but much prefer the traditional mini suite layout. This just my personal opinion so take with a grain of salt.
