Yours is not the only ship to drop Corfu for Katakalon, I think it's the third I know of.

That’s interesting I wonder what the problem is.

Thank you all for port suggestions.

Well, I hope this isn’t a trend. We’re supposed to be in Corfu in September on the Pearl and that’s one of the destinations We are very excited about! Do they say why they are changing it?

No real explanation, seems to be a trend with NCL after following the boards on NCL. This is my grandaughter's  graduation trip and she's a little dissapointed. on the positive side some longer port times.

Just received email this morning about itinerary’s changes for Getaway June 16-27 Greek Cruise. They eliminated Corfu and replaced with Katalon/Olympia Greece. Very disappointed. I also posted on roll call but it’s very dead so I thought I would post here as well. Back to the drawing board. NCL said they would list their tours May 10. Also some changes to port times, that are good thing. Anyone with suggestions of what type of tours for new port?

We too had booked private excursion. It left early and we goy there before the larger boats. Less expensive than the cruise ship smaller group. I would only do ships tour if you were in port a short period of time.

What is on deck 4 of NCL Getaway, it doesn’t show on deck plans. Would there be anything that would effect cabins on deck 5 ?

I can’t seem to find if Gwtaway solo ocean view cabin on deck 6 have mini fridge? I know solo studios do not.

Thank you all.

Has anyone used  AT&T cruise ship plan on board and if so how did it work? Plan seems to be less thru them vs NCL.

We were on the Connie cruise before the TA out of Tampa. We love the ship, it is showing its age in some areas, but we wouldn’t hesitate to sail her again. Ship layout out is great, buffet is a little spread out but you get more steps in. I hope the refurbishment doesn’t make any major changes.

Why does that matter when you can just print them in any size? Not to mention you can just trim with scissors if need be.

 

I bought a generic pack of holders and they fit fine.

Wouldn’t it be nice to just answer the question without critism!

Search for NCL holders Amazon NCL Luggage Tags

They give no measurements on those tags and there seems to be other NCl tags on Amazon in different sizes. That’s why I asked for the size of the actual tag. I was aware I can get tags on Amazon as I have before for other cruise lines.

What are the measurements of the current printable luggage tags?

You can’t  call what they serve ice cream let alone call what they refer to as gelato. If you’ve ever had Hagen Daz or Ben and Jerry’s or real gelato don’t waste your calories with Celebrity’s imitations.

I may be picky, but remain quite pleased with one little extra perk on Celebrity:  cloth towels in the public restrooms.  It is such a nice touch to make the Celebrity experience more luxurious than other mid-priced cruise lines.   

 

So glad Decoy is back!   

I agree about the bathrooms and they are always so clean! We were on Crown Princess and there bathrooms were poorly set up and small, I felt like I was in a department store or fast food restaurant bathroom.

I have sailed a lot on all 3 classes of Celebrity ships.

 The older ships are less glitzy and also less crowded.

 They do have Fewer Specialty Dining options than you had on the Edge class ships.

   Some of us are not big fans of the Infinite Veranda window cabins on E class ships and like Real Verandas.

 My biggest dislike of the Edge class ships is the lack of a Forward-facing Sky Lounge that is a feature on All of the older ships.

  Do some Youtube video tours and see what the Eclipse looks like?

 

 

I agree about E class faux verandas. Also lack of forward facing sky lounge, we tried a Princess cruise last year and it also lacked that type of space as well as poorly planed main dining areas. We will stay with M and S clas Celebrity ships.

So excited to join on your next adventure .

Well I've found a way to quickly get rid of the "cruise pounds" found on the Constellation. Both my husband and I tested positive for Covid Sunday and the desire to eat has disappeared. In the few days we've been home we've both lost the weight we gained on that lovely (except for Friday's rocking/rolling/foghorn) cruise!

I wonder who else came home with Covid?

So sorry, not a great way to lose weight. Hope you’re feeling better soo..

I was pleased to have a package with WiFi included. 
 Unfortunately this is another trick to take your money. 
While it does include a basic access to the Internet you find that you cannot even send a single photo to your loved ones. 
In order to share even simple photos  you have to pay another 91 dollars for 12 days.

I can understand why they might want to prohibit streaming videos or online video chats. However the banning of sharing a few photos is just a way for Celebrity to make money.

What do others think?

We upgraded during flash sale for $36 each for 12 day cruise.  Still unable to send photos most days.

Heading to the gym now.

 

Deck 10 is open, but not 11 or the pools.

We were on deck 10 that day enjoying all the movement, I felt bad for anyone who gets seasick. It would’ve been pretty bad for them. The only time we’ve had worse was sailing in the North Atlantic.

I mean, to each their own but I will not be taking a cruise that stops in Haiti anytime in the near future.  It seems shortsighted to think the gangs only see beaches and tourists beyond the barbed wire...there is a freaking unarmed, mega ship they could hijack.  Staying on the ship is no 'safe zone'. These are desperate criminals and despite the almost guaranteed failure of pirating a ship, I would not put it past them at all to try and have more than a few lives lost other than their own. Not a relaxing vacation to me.

Totally agree with you!

We thought Barcelona and Malta had good Hop Off buses.

I am lucky to have a closet where I can keep travel items and it is stocked with travel size sewing kit, eye glass repair kit and a dental repair kit.  Needed the eye glass kit but then could not see well enough to put in the miniature screw.......

I too have a cupboard where I keep all my travel sized supplies including eyeglass repair, sewing kit, dental repair. Always carry extra glasses, you don’t want to spend you vacation time looking for these items.

I prefer Celebrity, but you should choose for the itinerary that sounds good to you.

I was just checking Cruise Critic because I have been unable to find tickets past March 31. This is the website; https://hhticket.gr/tap_b2c_new/english/tap.exe?PM=P1N

We were told to book the Acropolis and Slopes tickets by Georges Tours. I have been checking daily since January 31 and it will still only let one book up until March 31.    It "seems" that if you scroll down to the bottom and click on "hours" it only has the set hours until March 31. I wonder if they are still deciding upon the hours for the summer?  I will continue to try daily.  We want to book for May 3 - the day before our cruise.

There was a place on official website where you choose to be notified when tickets would go on sale.
