I’m on cruise now returning to Miami tomorrow. RCL is saying one hour to get an Uber for pickup. Does that sound right?

Hello, please let me/us known what you decide and if it works. We will be on a cruise out of and return to Miami Jan/Feb next year. Just got the information that the booked package tour will vhange to cruise and flights only. So I am sitting here booking hotelroom for the night before the cruise and are thinking about transfers throguh cruise line or on our own. Thank you!

Thanks for the link, I subscribed!

Thank you, uktog. Good to hear that! My favorites are talks…

Hello,

We are about to book transatlantic on the Onward for November 23.  First time Azamara and first time transatlantic.

 So I hope I may put this question. Will there be any entertainment during sea days? Travelled on Celebrity the last cruises and really enjoy calm days with a lot of reading. Thank you!

 Many thanks for your impression @tkimber. In about 2 weeks we will be on the Connie having chosen anytime dining as well. Makes me a bit nervous to hear that all are cramped in the main dining room. I hope to have a calm atmosphere. I really don‘t like buffets. But we will make the best of our cruise.

So everyone have a nice cruise and enjoy!

wow - perhaps you will be lucky!

I did that, too. The automatic reply says, 2 days before sailing at the latest…..

 I check at least once a day…..

Good luck!

@jagoffee, thanks! I‘ll keep an eye on it. 

….sorry for the typing error. My ipad is for German spelling and changed too much…. I really need to check twice.

@jagoffee … we booked through a TA. As previously Mentors it wasn‘t Importanz to is at that time. 
 

@lizindy, I got. the email with the move up offer some weeks ago. Did use move up Button when logging in. It is 21 day till cruise…. 

Hi,

I did made an offer for move up today.  I could have booked Aquaclass for this price at that time of booking. Then I/we thought balcony stateroom (as usual) will do it.

Okay, so minimum offer was 385 € pp (Constellation, 9 night cruise out of Rome, August 27, 2022) . I bid 15€ more pp (= 400 € pp) than the minimum offer. Currently we are booked in a balcony stateroom, best category….. Hoping for Blue…….. 

What do you think? About 50 - 40 % of Aquaclass staterooms are available.. I do hope we will be successful. We are classic…..

Hi Kate,

I printed them out for our carry on as well. Feel better just in case we might forget one at the buffet at lunch. Usually we drop the carry on in our room before going to lunch…..

Hi,

I had the same question. Just picked a time that seems realistic and then it is up to the shuttle. About 4 weeks to go. Waiting for the edocs and the confirmed flight booking.

Try again tomorrow. Mine said July 15 and it open July 16! 

We have booked always included. So when on board, what do I have to do to activate internet and the use as a key? 

So far I can see the the menues in the restaurant, excursions already at home….

Thanks in advance!

We took a cruise out of Venice in September 2017….. wonderful views.

We too were worried about sailing on Constellation but the itinerary was just too good. It was one of the last cruise ships to go out of Venice. We were pleasantly surprised and had no complaints. We have her booked for 2023 and 2024 Caribbean cruises and May 2023 Mediterranean . Personally we are happy she hasn’t been revolutionized, I don’t like what I see in the ships that have. They look cold and sparse. 

I am sorry, but no ship is allowed to sail out of venice nowadays….Instead Celebrity will use Ravenna as their port. We are on the Constellation end of August and the disembarkation port is Venice - Ravenna. Our flughts will be from Marco Polo - Venice airport. So still you can stroll through Venice if you will arrive some day earlier. Other cruiselines sail out of Trieste / Venice. That‘s what i know. 

Hi Brad,

don‘t know if this helps: I have checkt cruisetimetables and the Vision of the Seas will be there.

Thanks for this great review so far. Looking forward to the next days….

I got my first one, too, yesterday. But the lowest bid was almost the price I would have payed when booking. I deleted it. 

Hi, I am from Germany. I am boostered but can see the dates of all 3 vaccinations. Only 3rd vaccination/ booster is valid. To be safe I will get the 4th soon.

Hi rustyman,

We have booked flights, trnsfer etc. through Celebrity arriving in Rome airport (FCO)  at 9:20 am on August 27. In my documents online it says shuttle 1:30. I was disappointed that they (Celebrity) let us wait till then….. then I searched the internet for shuttle services and found a service that takes shuttles for Celebrity and other cruise lines. They departmevery 30 minutes… somin this case I think this given time is the latest possible leaving time…. I do hope that this is correct thinking.

We got a very good offer for aqua class for a cruise in February out of Miami…. I am very excited! Upcoming cruise is in a regular balcony as usual.

Thanks to all for this great information! I have just ordered two to use it on our next flight….. to Rome end of August, cruising on Constellation….
