Levant Solmaz gave a wonderful thorough tour for us…he does small groups 10-12 and managed the bookings individually so no one had to collect info…fabulous tour guide.  

Can you please share contact info for Levant? I sent an email but haven’t received a reply. Thank you.

Sad for you to be on your last night, but we are so excited to board tomorrow! So far, with testing negative and uneventful flight from PHX, we’re feeling pretty positive! Safe travels home tomorrow, good health, & thank you again for keeping us all informed at this stressful time.  

Happy new year to you, wishing you good health and thank you again for keeping us in the loop. We’re taking Celebrity Covid test in the am and hopefully we’re a go to fly to TPA Sunday for b2b. Please keep posting! 🎉

Following along as we are hopefully sailing on the January 3 rd itinerary and b2b Jan 14. Thank you, Ken, for your photos and for sharing your experiences, we look forward to more! Wishing you and yours a healthy, fun filled trip.

Paul, we will be camping at Alder Bay across from Alert Bay (inland passage near Port McNeil/Port Hardy), hope we see you sail by or we will wave at you as we’re fishing in Malcolm inlet. Happy sails, look forward to your review, as always.

PROBLEMS/COMMENTS:

In late January we rented from Budget at FLL, dropped off on 17th St. Location and they had a shuttle bus to the port. We had to wait quite awhile for the shuttle and as another poster mentioned, it's only $10 for a taxi so if you're in a hurry, that's an option.

Sounds like you're staying positive, unlike some of your fellow cruisers! Hope you get to see Kobe.

We did the Greek Isles Cruise in August on Constellation, Venice return. We LOVE the Constellation, second trip with her. The whole crew were awesome and super friendly. Food was excellent in MDR & OV Cafe. There seemed to be more areas where one could escape to and read quietly and the ship had a more classic feel to it, compared to the larger ships. We found our C2 room that we usually reserve, was brighter, felt more spacious, with more storage areas. A few little wear and tear areas in cabin but no biggy and it didn't affect our trip at all. We love the itinerary and hope we can sail on her again soon. In fact, she's my favourite ship so far. I haven't been on any other M class ships, but we have sailed on all the Celebrity S class ships. You'll love her!

Thank you for the breakdown of this trip. Did you keep a watch on prices and change category due to price drop, or were you offered an upgrade? Also good advice re Maui. Thx again.

I saw the photos, they were great, as are your entertaining memories of your trip. More, please! When is your next trip?!

Love the Wink's reviews and photos, belly laughs over your non-porn food photos!

Does anyone know if the smoothies at the Aqua Restaurant are covered on the Classic package. The 1st time we cruised with Celebrity they were, and last summer they weren’t. A friend just came home and said yes they were, so confusing!!

On Reflection in February in Aqua Spa Cafe, I was told smoothies were not covered by my Classic drink pkg.

We walked from Celebrity at Port 2 in February to 17th St., sidewalks most of the way, all flat. We had most of the day to kill so walked in to have lunch at the Raw Seafood Bar and then nabbed a taxi to a/ p in the afternoon. We're in our late 60's.

Question on this itinerary for those who have done it: any preference on southbound in April vs northbound in Sept/Oct? Thank you.

The 2 day deluxe tour with SPB in St Petersburg cost us $540 US for two of us.

We did this itinerary last August on the Silhouette and had a great trip. The only organized tour we took was SPB in St Petersburg, excellent 2 long days, beautiful sights and awesome lunches provided by SPB! We took the train to Rostock, walked around and returned to Warnemunde where we did lots of walking, had a great German lunch from a street vendor there. In Tallin walked into the old city, it was chilly but they had a street market full of crafts & food. We took the bus from port to Stockholm old city area, walked around visited Vasa & city hall, watched the changing of the guard, took a local ferry from Vasa. Walked in to Copenhagen enjoying sights lots of photo ops, took local boat tour. In Helsinki we took bus into city had delicious fish lunch at the street market, took ferry over to the fort & walked around the island. We had great weather, wore shorts most days except Tallin & SPB, carried light rain jackets just in case. We spent a week in Amsterdam before the cruise, love that city!

Hi Dana, I've just spent the morning reading all 54 pages of your excellent review! Sad 'we're' reaching the end of your trip ( review). We're doing this itinerary in January & this has gotten me even more excited for the trip. Thank you. Jo-Ann

Yes, we always book while on board and in Canadian funds.

Paul, thank you for your thorough and thoroughly enjoyable review! You're the best reviewer I've read on CC and I look forward to your next cruise in August.
