I was reading the perks and saw this at the bottom, Traveling with family or friends? They’ll be perked up, too. Each additional guest, beyond the first two in your stateroom, receives a free Classic Non-Alcoholic Beverage Package and a 40-Minute Internet Package. Is it possible to upgrade the classic non alcoholic to a classic package and just pay the price?

Yes, you can upgrade just call Celebrity and they will give you cost for the upgrade.

Yes, Thanks for your review

Please update us when you return

Thanks

Joanne

Thank you for the info.... We are on March 1st cruise. Any special dressy night besides Captain's dinner ? We also have Allegrissimo package !! From Montreal, Quebec, Canada !!

I have been the ports couple of times..... Havana and MSC is new for me.

Sound like it's going to be interesting.

ship time was very stressful ???

Going at the end of March.... upper deck and drinks sound good!

Joanne

The itinerary was pretty amazing but I can honestly say I would not Cruise with MSC again...ship time was very stressful...and not what a vacation should be...I hope this was helpful....if you have already booked...you will enjoy your ports !!! Find a quiet spot on the upper deck...sip your drinks and make the best of it as we did....cheers.....Deb and Wade

Perfect! Thanks for all the tips

Can't wait to see Havana.... I also have booked vintage car tour for the day.

Was going to book a ship tour for Jamaica but sounds like a lot of options at the port for tours.

I have been to Grand Cayman couple of times, We are booking ship tour to stingray city because only in port until 2pm. :eek:

Cozumel, we are doing the Cozumel Bar Hop but the Volkswagen buggy sounds fun. I will keep that one in mind for next time. Which port did you dock at?

Yes, we have the beverage package ..... :D

Thank you,

Joanne

Ok..I posted a long review but will try to condense it for you...I have cruised 14 times and have never experienced a cruise like this....the ship was nice...on a smaller scale....very clean...the food was typical...we really enjoyed the dinners in the restaurants...except very loud...as everyone seemed to be trying to talk louder than the next....the ports were the saviour...Havana is beautiful!!! You have 2 days...explore ...we took a taxi...1953 Ford Victoria...pink converable and had a nice tour and lunch for 50 pesos....Jamaica is very laid back...and there are several companies off port willing to take you on a day tour for approx 100 us....grand Cayman is absolutely my favourite beach port...7 mile beach is a local bus ride away for 2.50 us or a taxi for 5 us per person...you can hang there and just enjoy the beach...it's heavenly ...Cozumel...we got a tour from "island marketing" on line before we left...I would highly recommend it...a tour in your own Volkswagen buggy ...takes you right around the island with several stops...and your guide will prepare you a traditional Mexican lunch with fresh salsa and guacamole ...was awesome!!! Our guide was Omar ...if you could get him you would be ever so lucky...he is very professional and fun...and will mould your tour to your liking.....it cost 74 us pp...best money we spent on this trip ....and on my last note....please be prepared for your sea days and ship time...the majority of passengers are European...I would say the ship was 90% ...and 10 % Canadian....loud...aggressive and absolutely no social skills...or maybe it's just the culture...not sure but it was overwhelming...the Buffett and pool deck was total chaos...the bartenders and servers worked so incredibly hard but never seemed to keep everyone happy......my advice...get breakfast early...and wait a bit to get off the ship or you will be trampled...and be ever so grateful for the allegrissimo package...it's a saviour!

Thanks Deb!

Ship, food, ports especially Grand Cayman since it's short time at port with tender

Which pier did you dock at in Cozumel

Joanne

Hello,

Looking for review or thoughts about the MSC Opera cruise leaving Havana.

Thanks

Cruisers get on in Havana and Montego Bay

Like a round robin cruise

Joanne

We are booked for March 22,2016 leaving Havana

Your travel agent will know about the package (air & cruise) Hint: my sun has wings

Joanne

Just giving a heads up if anyone has reservation at the Park Central.

They had water damage , so they are moving people to different hotels when you arrive.

Did not want to deal with this , so changed my reservation

Joanne

Marriott Harbor Beach would be my preference in a resort. If you like Ritz Carlton, you might also like the W or Atlantic hotels.

 

Also the Diplomat Beachfront hotel in Hollywood is another great choice, about 10 miles south of the port, and Margaritaville will soon be opening on Hollywood beach!

Thanks for the tip for Margaritaville Hollywood... going to give it a try in Nov.

Joanne

If we have a cruise booked with Celebrity in US, can we change it to Canadian funds without cancelling and rebooking?

Thanks,

Joanne

Well, we went with Goldstar seat's. Only 6 seat left when I was booking.

That's for a the great advice!

Joanne

I would like to take the train from Anchorage to Seward.

We are sailing out of Seward on June 5 th,2015.

What website do I use to book train?

I read about GoldStar Service, is it worth it!

Thanks,

Joanne

We are doing the Sea Trek at Coral World. Our trek is at 2pm for 1 hr, does this allow us enough time to get back to the ship for 4:30pm as we leave at 5pm.

What is the cost from Havensight to Coral World by cab, please

Thanks,

Joanne

Was at Mullet Bay Beach in October just after hurricane, and was great & no problems.

Joanne

Mullet Bay Beach!

Has anyone used Amigo Tours for St. Martins before?

Any feedback on them?

Thanks,

Joanne

We are looking for an Island tour that includes Maho beach for the plane’s but we would like to go to different beach then Orient beach.

I have taken Bernards tours couple of times, they are great only take you to Orient Beach.

Suggestion please

Thanks,

Joanne

The mango smoothies (also no extra cost for Elite in Tuscan Grill breakfast) are really good.

Thanks for the tip!

My upcoming cruise is my 1st cruise being Elite. Is the Elite breakfast held in main dining room?

Thanks,

Joanne

Thanks Orator. Just asked because Celebrity is not doing that port at all this season so now just checked for next season (15/16) and I see Equinox is going there (just Equinox?). Guess I should have checked first but happy to try a new port (for us) on this cruise:)

We went on the Celebrity Eclipse – Western Caribbean Feb 2011 and port stop was Costa Maya. Was just after they build the new port.
