There is an app on apple that does driving tours. It uses gps and gives directions as well as commentary. It’s called scenic Iceland Reykjavik tour. The tour cost $39. We’ve used similar ones in other places and they are wonderful 

We are looking at a cruise from Reykjavik to Boston on the Eclipse. The question I have it says boarding is August 16 but it overnights there and leaves on the 17th at 5:00 pm. How does that work? Are you allowed to leave after checking in? Do they offer excursions that day and the next? I’m sure someone here has done a cruise that starts this way so help educate me so I can go ahead and book it. I will book it anyway I just want to know

That’s a long time to sail a short distance back to Ft. Lauderdale 

Just wondering why Reflection didn’t go to Bimini today. I thought it was scheduled to go on its normal 6 day route? Cruisemapper says it’s supposed to be there by the app shows it’s a sea day. 

I sincerely apologize if anyone took my comment in a bad manner. It was not intended in that way at all. 

Those that pay this amount of money probably don’t read this forum 

Did I miss any?
Reflection

I’ve sailed on Reflection a few times and always dream of sailing in the top suite but since I haven’t pick the correct six numbers that day will have to wait. We are currently on the Reflection and was walking around decks last night up to the 15th deck forward. We noticed the was a young man playing basketball and didn’t think too much of it until I realized it was directly over that suite. So my question is to anyone that has sailed in it do you hear noise from the teen club and basketball court. If so I can’t understand any engineer or architect designing some an expensive suite in such an obviously noisy spot

Reported last week that the butlers were back in sky suites but wanted to also report further. We are doing B2B and moved to another sky suite and yes indeed there are butlers on this side too. Just wanted to report we had a wonderful butler and he met and exceeded all our needs. Will didn’t require very much but he assured us if there was anything reasonable he would be glad to take care of it. This week our butler the first thing he asked was what would we like for him to fill our mini fridge with which he promptly did the next time we left the room. 

Our butler said to call him for room service and he would bring it

They’re back. Just boarded Reflection in a sky suite and we have a dedicated butler. Based on finding a discarded business card from the previous cruise it looks like this is the first for celebrity. 

Will report from

Reflection Sunday 

We will be in the retreat I will let them set it up, even though I’m a retired IT professional, because I want them to earn all that extra money I’m paying. 😁

Sorry my post wasn’t clear. We have the premium WiFi already. 

This is the first time we’ve sailed with the option of premium WiFi. I was wondering how the logistics of this works versus classic WiFi. Is there an option for a router that says classic vs premium or is it done through the say router and just receive the speed based on login?

We always do premium so there isn’t a corkage at dinner.

I was under the impression that there was a corkage fee regardless of having a drink package. Is this a new policy and where can it be found

I usually keep a detailed count on the first or second day. By my calculations by day three I’ve already broken even for the week and stop counting. 😇

This is too late for you but on my upcoming cruise I will take a screen shot to keep a record 

Thanks for the movie info. Not a great lineup but the movies aren’t what we sail for anyway.

Does this help?  Just a small celebrity bag. 

Thanks. I was picturing a large box. It’s still a shame you have to ask for something that’s supposed to be already in the room. I think the directions the attendants get is not to put it in there until asked in hopes most people won’t ask

Also of note is totes aren’t automatically left for you in your cabin…available upon request. 

I’m not sure what you mean by totes. Could you explain it a little better?

I was also told they have better rate for AAA and veterans. They said to make the reservation as pay later and they will bill when you are there.

According to this page, a DV plate is sufficient.

Sorry. I reread it and it says a disabled veterans plate. We have just a disabled plate and that does not qualify. My fault for not reading it carefully. They used to waive the fee for all handicap plates.

If you pay in advance, the cost is way less than the port and there is minimal walking involved.

I was told to just make the reservation as they had a better rate when I arrive for veterans

I have called that number but no one answers. As for the cost, we have DAV plates so parking if complimentary.

DAV plates are not enough to get free parking. You must have a vehicle that a handicap modified vehicle such as hand controls and other things. Handicap plates are not enough anymore
