Celebrity Shuttle to Airport/Sofitel
BettyCruiser replied to Rick&Jeannie's topic in Celebrity Cruises
Whether it's 2 or 14 both are quite doable. -
Celebrity Shuttle to Airport/Sofitel
BettyCruiser replied to Rick&Jeannie's topic in Celebrity Cruises
In descriptions it says it's a 14 minute walk from the hotel to the airport, so should be easy. I was researching an Athens cruise and figured I'd would take the Acropolis tour that drops at the airport and then find my way there and fly out the following morning. -
Celebrity Shuttle to Airport/Sofitel
BettyCruiser replied to Rick&Jeannie's topic in Celebrity Cruises
Sound like something I'd do. I've used cruise transfers to get to the Hilton Garden Inn at Heathrow where we stayed prior to an early flight the following morning. IS the Sofitel a hotel attached to the airport? -
I think the part many people miss is actually keying the dollar amount to be used. If you have $400 OBC and want to purchase an excursion for $196.98, then you have to check the box and key 196.98 in the box and it will apply the OBC and your total will say 0.00 due and nothing is charged to your card.

Yes, open on embarkation day. I think Vibe was open 8-8 and the bar was open 9-6.

Can I disembark before the final stop?
BettyCruiser replied to Stockjock's topic in Celebrity Cruises
No this would be in violation of PVSA, Celebrity would not allow it. -
How much are services in the spa on an Edge class ship?
BettyCruiser replied to Octavias's topic in Celebrity Cruises
75 minute massage while in port is between $159-199 plus gratuity. -
We stayed in the equivalent room on the opposite side on the Edge. The window cleaning machine was parked next to our room. Due to the IV it didn‘t obstruct our view, but every time they washed the windows they had to come in our room to release the apparatus that holds it in place while sailing. Very intrusive and the room got hot just having the window open for a few minutes. The same situation might exist on that side of the ship.

First time in a suite - dos and don'ts
BettyCruiser replied to Mark.Jules's topic in Celebrity Cruises
when comparing prices between RCCL and X keep in mind that on X your suite price includes premium drink package, premium WiFi and gratuities, RCCL doesn’t include any of these. -
Celebrity Beyond Dining Packages
BettyCruiser replied to travelbugforever's topic in Celebrity Cruises
I followed a Live From report that used the dining package to eat at Le Voyage also. Perhaps the confusion is that the Tasting menu at Le Voyage is not included but the regular dinner menu is included. -
Celebrity Silhouette fact sheet shows double occupancy is 2902 and max occupancy is 3324.

My Silhouette cruise in August is showing the same pricing.

If you want to see the Northern Lights probably better to plan a land vacation. I wouldn’t plan a cruise just to see Northern Lights but sometimes it happens. Northern Lights run on a cycle, we’re on an upswing now that peaks in 2025 I think. from a Princess Norway Arctic Circle cruise last August from Minnesota the night after we got home from said cruise. This August we’re on an Iceland Ireland cruise, will we see Northern Lights? Maybe, but that’s not why we’re going. After reading about the May cruises I’m just hoping we get to dock at the Iceland ports.

When will they open bookings for fall 2024?
BettyCruiser replied to LB_NJ's topic in Disney Cruise Line
I booked my October 23 cruise on 7/27/2022 shortly after they released. So maybe they will release fall 2024 soon. -
They mentioned it in the last power up points webinar, I think it's February 25.

Celebrity Cruise Jost Van Dyke Excursion
BettyCruiser replied to KaptainKruise's topic in Celebrity Cruises
When we went they dropped us right on the beach. -
Since no one has mentioned yet, NCL has the highest daily service charge, gratuities, after the last increase and shortly after that increase has reduced stateroom service to once a day. Celebrity still services your stateroom twice a day for a lower daily gratuity. I prefer Celebrity, my next cruise is on Silhouette out of Southampton. My last cruise was NCL Joy and I enjoyed it after all my precruise purchases were finally honored after way too much time spent at guest services during the first 4 days of the cruise.

Since you disembark in Honolulu you can spend an overnight or more.

For all formal night aficionados
BettyCruiser replied to cruise_co's topic in Royal Caribbean International
At one time I think Royal Caribbean tried rotational dining similar to what Disney does, I think when Quantum first sailed. NCL tried the one dining room always formal thing and has abandon that idea. -
The main pools on Millennium class have stairs. I'm not sure about solarium pools.

Lowest Fare in Category now Guarantee only!
BettyCruiser replied to Yehootu's topic in Princess Cruises
Looking at the 24/25 Caribbean itineraries released last week it seems only about 20% of cabins can be booked as specific cabins all the rest are not booked but not available to book, assuming held as guarantees. Neither of my preferred rooms on the Sun were available to book. I sent an email to the customer relation address asking why. We’ll see what they say if they bother to answer. If I can’t get my preferred room for my Pacifc Coastal later this week I won’t have much incentive to continue booking.
