There is a gap in her schedule from April 23rd until May 16th 2024 when she will be in Lisbon Portugal.

Hope there is a refurb - we board on July 11th. 

My DW and our two good friends will be on this cruise as well. Looking forward to a great adventure. 

I'm told Equinox is scheduled for a dry dock refurb in April 2024.

Best to contact his site for answers to all of your questions.

More details please.  How much? How many people in the vehicle? Did he do a set tour, or tailor it to the requests of the group? Payment method? TIA.

Sorry his contact info is:

My wife and I were fortunate to have booked an Island Tour with Millard Lightbourne which couldn't have been better. Mills met us right as we exited the ship in his comfortable air conditioned van and took us from the dockyard to St Georges and back covering all of the famous sites and then some. As a lifelong Bermuda resident, along with 50 plus years of touring, his knowledge of the island and its history is second to none. Do yourself a favor and reserve a tour with Mills and not only see sites but learn a lot about them and the beautiful island of Bermuda.

Do a google search of "Caribbean Princess B750".  It looks like some of the images show a large steel beam in the center of the balcony.

Yes I just saw pictures and that's what it looks like. Not  going to pay premium $'s for taht.

Thanks for your replys.

We are looking at aft cabin B750 on the Caribbean Princess whos description states "partially obstructed view" and wondering if anybody can tell me what the obstruction  is.

Thanks

When we were on the Queen, your dining room table for dinner was assigned by the Maitre D and you were notified of the number at the check in hotel.  On the Empress it was open seating although you were asked to sit at the same table that you had on the first night for subsequent nights.  We have a cruise coming up next year on the Countess and just curious how they handle dinner seating.

I've been told seating is assigned not open at this time.

Thanks for all of your replies. We have decided to try Paradise Cove - seems to be the best choice for us.

Considiering Germaine's or Paradise Cove post cruise. Reviews seem mostly positive for both as well as similar pricing. Any suggestions would be appreciated

Celebrity's 2013 Land Tour Excursion brochure lists the Natural History Tour as $98 adult & $47 child. The Tundra Wilderness Tour is $159 adult and $76 child. This should give you an idea of the difference in price.

Thanks Mary Lou that difference should be worth it.

Thanks for your responses.

There is more to your question- are you going to have time to do the longer tour? What is your EXACT land tour- list it specifically here- not just the number where we have to look it up.

 

Overall, Celebrity does not refund, and I have not known the to upgrade either. So you may have to step it up yourself, and either eat the NHT, and purchase a shuttle/tour bus yourself= along with managing yourself to get to it.

 

Otherwise, I suggest you add days and change your cruisetour. 3 day add ons aren't enough time.

The land tour consists of:

Arrive and overnight in Fairbanks with tours there in day 1 again overnighting there 2nd night. Travel to Denali by rail next day with natural history tour included but with optional tundra wilderness tour available at extra cost (but no one at Celibrity can tell us how much more hence this posting). Day 3 is travel to Anchorage with tours in the am and finally to Seward for the cruise.

We will be doing a 3 day land tour prior to our Celibrity cruise which includes Denali's Natural History Tour but would like to upgrade to the Tundra Wlderness Tour and wondering if anyone has done this and what the additional cost was. Thanks.
