    Brerpossum, How nice to see your post!  We had the pleasure of sharing a dinner table with you on Celebrity Century, back in 2013, to Hawaii.  Good to see you are still cruising, as are we.

    How is Mrs. Possum's back?

    Oh my, what a small world.  Shipgeeks, so good to hear from a shipmate from 2013, when we sailed around the volcano.  
    Osteoporosis is a terrible condition that has afflicted my wife Kay for years.  A fantastic Dr. In Little Rock, AR performed a small 10-hour surgery replacing all the hardware in her back with an interlocking system and she does not need a back brace and is for the most part pain free – Thank you Lord!  
    What a wonderful cruise on the Century, one of our favorite Celebrity ships and crew.  Celebrity does not do those 15-night Hawaii cruises any longer, but one came up in October of last year on the Eclipse, and we just had to go.
    We were on the October 2008 Mercury Hawaii cruise coming home, one day out, sailing back to San Diego and turned around and went back to Hilo for an emergency medical situation.  Ran low on food on the way back to San Diego, along with many flight changes, ect.  
    Thanks for the memories.

  2. Correction to above.....

    Our first cruise was 1994 on the Dolphin line “Seabreeze”, what a cruise.  The food was excellent, and the wait staff taught us the proper use of the silverware.  We had an ocean view room, being a port hole that you unscrewed the two bottom bolts and swung the window upward.  Oh, I can still remember that ocean sound going to sleep.  Seven night eastern and western Caribbean cruises.

    Last cruise was a 15 N Hawaii in the Eclipse in 2019.
    Loved it so much we returned for another, and then we were hooked.

    I just download Chrome on my laptop and was finally able to sign into my Celebrity account. Thanks!

    I'm not sure that anything I did fixed the problem.  I had deleted Celebrity cookies, emptied the cache, and deleted history, and still could not sign in.  Just tried later in the day yesterday and bingo, signed right in no problem.  Go figure.

    All this aside, we are ready for normal again and ready to get back to CRUISING !

    You need to remember that the Celebrity website is absolutely perfect.  Never a problem.  

    April fool!

    Ha, problem solved, I am now able to sign in....

    Celebrity does have their problems with their web site.

    I have commented before that their cruise experience keeps us loyal to Celebrity, not the web site. 

    Once again, thanks to everyone for your help.

  5. My wife is a wheelchair user but can walk short distances, but stairs are out.  She can step into a tender, but not go down the stairs. 

    Has anyone used the wheelchair lift down to the tender on the Celebrity Eclipse?  Various calls to the Accessible folks have not been helpful, depends on the Capitan and we fully understand.

    We are on the upcoming 15 night Hawaii cruise in October, and two of the ports are Tendered.

    Thanks for any help.

  6. Kay can walk short distances with a cane.  Steps are very difficult, and we have to be very careful.  (major back surgery – osteoporosis).  We booked this tour a couple of years ago through Celebrity assessable shore excursions before the cruise.

    ShorexAccess@rccl.com

    They sent us a pdf file of assessable shore excursions that we picked our tours from.  We really enjoyed the train ride and the Alaska cruise.

  7. My Dear Wife is handicapped, and we rent a wheel chair for our cruises.  She can walk short distances, but cannot do steps very well, especially the steps down to a Tender. 

    We learned quite by accident on a recent Alaska cruise on the Solstice, that they have a wheelchair lift and were able to roll the chair on the lift and took her down to the Tender.  Everyone we asked said she had to be able to do the steps, until we ran into the Capitan and was told where to go to get the lift.

    We are doing the 15 night Hawaii cruise on the Eclipse this October, and wonder if anyone knows if it has the same lift, and have used it.
