Here is some information that Celebrity has on file on their trade website: Weddings, Celebrations & Events brochure Celebrity Weddings Website

Congrats on your decision. Sounds like a marvelous family trip. Your credit card may need to be resuscitated when final payment arrives….

I think the unique advantages of each of the 3 Galapagos ships have been detailed out in the prior posts: 1. Xploration is the smallest and most intimate with only 8 cabins. 2. Xpedition is a large ship designed for 99 passengers but is only licensed to carry 48. 3. Flora is the newest and most luxurious ship and was specifically built for the Galapagos.

I totally understand. Experiencing the trip and taking killer photos are top priority. Posting and reporting back are second priority.

Yes, I am sure this analysis is made--again, I think the Revenue Dept ultimately had to sign off on it. I will be on the Xpedition sailing right after yours. I look forward to seeing previews through your D500.

Congratulations. When the time comes, you will need to review the entry directions as it has its own separate side entrance away from the main entrance.

You cannot book three through the website. You have to call the Galapagos desk to do it. They have to talk to someone else (revenue department?) to get permission before the manual booking is made.

Here is a bunch of Celebrity Cruises information on their Galapagos offerings. It will take some time to plow through them all: link1 and link2 Here is a link to Celebrity's 82 page Galapagos e-brochure. It is also downloadable into a pdf as well.

I noticed this morning that a limited Flash Sale has appeared for my December holiday Solstice sailing. It only affects some shorex for my cruise.

Here is the ala carte WiFi pricing for my upcoming December sailing on Solstice. It’s for Premium WiFi which is overkill for what you need. There cheaper Basic WiFi package is no longer available ala carte on any sailing.

I think your teenager(s) would love coding there Galapagos. Here is a brochure from Celebrity marketing there Galapagos for families: link

We had an XS cabin booking that included our daughter as a third passenger several years ago. So it can be done. 3rd passenger listed fare is the same price as 1st/2nd. However since we had a Captains Club promotional discount for 1st/2nd passenger, the 3rd passenger fare was actually more expensive!

That’s something for Viking Cruises to use.

Usually I get the email notifications after the sale has started.

I submitted my request for Scavi tickets 6 months in advance of the tour. So we know 6 months out definitely works. I think the problem might have been that you emailed them directly instead of using the contact form which I posted earlier.

No, I confused you. You do not actually write an email to them from your account. Instead use the contact form on the Scavi website and submit your request that way. Here is a link to the contact form page. The email image I posted was meant to show what the email response back to you would eventually look like. Do not use the email address listed there to submit your request. Sorry for the confusion and good luck.

Sorry to hear that. Are they getting rid of CVPs entirely?

You are very lucky! Congratulations and thank you for sharing your story with us.

Last year, I was able to get Scavi Tour tickets for my date of choice by filling out the Contact Us form on the official Scavi website. A couple days afterward, I received an email asking me to review my reservation and confirm my request.

This appeared in today's New York Times website: Venice Bus Plunge Kills at Least 21 (by Jason Horowitz, image by Marco Sabadin/AFP) This is a gifted article and should not require a subscription to read. It sounds awful.

Here is a post about it from last month. Another example why this forum is so valuable.

Although Celebrity’s website says you will have two EC nights, the actual practice for an extended sailing such as yours should result in three EC evenings. Your itinerary looks awesome and it marks a return to Asia after a multi-year absence for Celebrity. We will be cruising on her in December. Have a nice cruise!

Pretty depressing read. I am sorry that it was so unenjoyable.

I just received my FOMO email reminder about the current sale ending soon. Now there's a question that I wished was asked on the webinar (normal prices masquerading as limited time sales).
