I’m so confused…the Canaries cruises are on infinity.  

 

If its in drydock from Oct 23 -Nov 23, how will the TA sail on November 9th???  

It is for the 2024Transatlantic.  Word is that it is going into early drydock and will be leaving from somewhere other than Southampton,

All 4 cruises are in fact showing back up today... but all say sold out. No way... I'm just not believing it.

 

 

I am convinced they are chartered !! 👎  There is no way they can totally sell out that fast.

So the missing sailings should return on their website?

 

I wonder if they are revising the itinerary ?.

It does not make sense since this is the timeframe for the Transatlantic from Southampton to Ft Lauderdale

Have you ever not gotten enough to eat?

Quantity is not the problem....it's quality !!

We could not decide between 3 of them either and landed up with Jazz..."it's 6 of one and 1/2 dozen of the other".  In the end the decision was made by Tripadvisor, it had the best number rating.

I bet the people on the TA's now, with the huge storms they are experiencing are happy to be in an IV.  

No balcony or pools can be used and your outdoor furniture is either tied up or in your cabin.

Hi. Is anyone else having issues with the H10 Catalunya website? I’m unable to book. Thank you

Having the same issue... we are already booked at the Jazz, but thought I would check this one out too.

Just fyi, we just stayed at H10 Cataluyna plaza for 4 nights post river cruise. Loved the location, used taxis and the hop on/hop off bus right across the street from the hotel. Loved the staff, the breakfast and the free Cava in the lobbies and free snacks in the afternoon was a nice touch. I don't recommend a standard double though, it is very, very tiny even for Europe with not even one draw. 

When I looked at their website, they had a standard double and a double square, do you know if that one is  larger ?

Thanks.  

Lamb chops with some grilled shrimp on the side, lobster mac n cheese and of course a COOKIE !!

Made my own flatbread but hardly ate it as I knew what was coming after.

 I wish all the ships had that restaurant.

booked in Canadian currency

Have not booked my flight yet for the fall, but will check price with airline directly.and compare.  Sometimes it works out the same.

got the same story.  2nd call with FBC/CAir, guy said I can upgrade you.   but by then I had already paid seat for  selection. The upgrade would have saved me seat selection for 4 flights each for DH and I and baggage. not to mention better cabin area

Still fighting because we are Canadian and FBC had things converted to US dollars

Is your cruise booked in US or CDN dollars ?....If US, that could be the reason

Have been trying for half hour to book shore excursions for 2023 and it keeps putting me onto a cruise for 2024.  Finally I saw the small wording that said "have another cruise", clicked it ,put in my booking number and there I was.  Their IT department needs lots of help !!

Has anyone flown on Tap Portugal?  Air2Sea came back with a flight with this carrier but I've never heard of them.

Flew them from Quebec to Lisbon pre covid.  Excellent airline, service, food, etc....  The only problem was we had to change planes in New Jersey...that airport was a nightmare. 

Thank you for your amazing review and photos.  Felt like I was there after reading all your daily reports!

Thank you so much for your review Charla.  I'm sure you are unhappy your holiday is over, but I am even more so....  For the past couple of years this has been my only form of cruise entertainment and I loved reading your reviews every day.  Love your pictures and your style of writing.  Have you ever thought of writing a book ?

I have been looking at Spain Day tours for something to Girona or November 3rd.  They have Girona and Costa Brava OR Girona and the Dali Museum.  Has anybody ever taken any of these ? Why one over the other ?

It seems that the more they reduce (resulting in no one going there), the better justification for eliminating that option completely.

 

It seems to me this is their agenda !!

Over the years I noticed they often claimed cutbacks were an improvement for guests. 

Yes of course , that's because Celebrity is being kind,..they want to make sure you don't put on too much weight...LOL !!

Enjoy! There is a very good Asian restaurant right and right around the corner, where we ate a nice Ramen when it was too hot to go far...

Love Aisan food, do you remember the name of the restaurant?

I don't understand Celebrity's thinking. If those photos are the entire buffet (and it certainly appears that is the case), this will push a lot of guests into the main dining room. Causing overcrowding and even longer lines there. I know that we choose to eat at the buffet for ease several times during a 7 day cruise. Plus, I just don't enjoy sitting for extended periods of time. If that is all that is offered on the buffet, DH will insist on the MDR.

 

 

Not only that, the odd time you come back from a shore excursion and are either too tired or don't have the time to change to make it to the MDR.  You just want something fast from the buffet.

One more thing to add. They had staff clicking in the number of people entering the OV tonight. A sure sign that X is tracking the number of guests “eating” tonight. What they don’t track are the number of guests that enter and exit without eating once they see the basic offerings. 

What they will do is say "see, people are not interested in the buffet any more" then go ahead and eliminate more !....they have a plan !!
