Hi

We have a classic drinks package included on our cruise next March but it will be our 25th Wedding anniversay whilst on the cruise

Do Celebrity allow you to bring a bottle of champagne on at embarkation ?(Princess allow 2 bottles wine/champagne on embarkation to consume in the cabin)

HI

Do Concierge class guests get priority on tenders at all ?

Thank you so much Euro cruiser , I didn't realise there was a metro system ther , can we buy tickets at the metro or do we need to go to a newsagent ? Thank you for the taxi numbers too , I did a bit of research and realised that Battipaglia was closer than Salerno so should be cheaper for a taxi hopefully , you have been a big help

We have driven in Italy before but not really through any major towns or cities , , and not Naples , the italian driving is terrible and we have observed the " red light is a suggestion as opposed to obligatory " style of driving there on several occasions !! I am listening to you all , we didn't take into consideration the wait to pick up the car or re fueling which could take up some time as well as actually getting out of Naples

Our new plan now is to walk to the train station as soon as we disembark (I will take a timetable of the trains with me ) and then judge if we can make it in the time we have ashore , looking at the times now it should be ok providing we dont spend too long at the cemetery , I can't imagine needing any more time than that there anyways . Hopefully we will be able to find a taxi at either salerno or battipaglia train station to take us there

Thanks for your help

I am wondering whether to leave it until we have a cruise with more time in Naples in the future , it would be less stressful than having such time restrictions on this upcoming cruise

Hi

We want to visit my grandfathers grave in Salerno war cemetery whilst on a cruise in early June , I have looked at the trains and it will be a bit tight for time as it is 30 mins to the train station and the cemetery is between Salerno and Battipaglia so would need a taxi the other end too so are thinking of hiring a car , one website I found only has the cars at the train station , does anybody know of a car company that may hire from the port itself please ? Thank you for any information , our ship is in port from 8 - 2 pm so time will be a bit tight

I would like to cruise from Europe to New Zealand , is this even possible ? Where do the cruise ships go when they are not in Australasia , would it be possible to join a ship when it is on its way to that area ? What cruise lines would likely do this trip ? Any info much appreciated

Thanks everybody for your replies , the taxis dont seem to expensive

From which Hotel and to which port? There are a few ports in Singapore but only 2 main ports for Cruise ships. :)

Hi

We have now booked a hotel at Boat quay and our ship is sailing from Marina Bay cruise terminal , last time we were there March 2012 we sailed from the container port

Hi

Does anybody know approx prices of taxis in Singpore please to get to the port , any help much appreciated

You can only book this hotel for 6 hours initially then have to pay for each hour over this , it can work out expensive , we looked at this but have now booked another hotel not too far from the airport with free shuttle which works out cheaper , each room has a garden or beach view

Hi

We are in port 8 - 2 , we have already done Pompeii and Herculaneum , it doesnt look like we will have enough time to go across to Capri and cant find any buses or trains to Sorrento , any advice or ideas please

We are british , living in France and can drive to Barcelona in 3 hours and Savona in 6 hours , we have been on Costa several times and have booked another 2 this year , we have just returned from South America on Princess , we like to book our big cruise on an american line , normally Princess but next year Celebrity for the itinerary to the Far East . Costa is different but the prices are far less than other cruise lines including their drink packages , you are not allowed to cancel the tips as far as I am aware , all the staff we have encountered have been polite and happy and we have never had a problem with any members of staff , they all speak english as mentioned before , the italian and french guests can be very rude about queuing as previously stated but I normally tap them on the shoulder and point to the back of the queue , this normally works , the food is mediterranean and whilst you do not get steaks and lobster it is very good , there is always a pasta course on the menu which we tend to share as a course as not to eat too much, the only gripe I have with Costa is that after your evening meal you cannot get a snack anywhere , saying that we do not have all the courses at dinner so if you do you should not need/want further food , the courses are a good size , we always have the drinks packages so get glasses of water with dinner but have seen people buying bottles of water , the shows are always good and there is a good variety of entertainment in all the bars , all in all I think Costa is value for money but you cannot compare it to the american cruise lines , it is very much Italian

PrimeTime and SuperShuttle are the cheap options, or at least the fastest cheap option.

 

Everything else will be much more expensive and take a dreadfully long time and involve multiple transfers.

 

Assuming you mean the San Pedro (Los Angeles) and not Long Beach cruise terminal, you have limited options.

 

I've never done Uber from the San Pedro terminal to Hollywood, but knowing how far it is, I think it would be a bit less, but you might need UberXL if you have lots of luggage.

Ok thank you very much for the recommendation , I have registered with Uber now and will use them

Hi

Is there public transportation from the cruise terminal to Hollywood area at all , primetime and supershuttle both want $64 for a single trip in a shared van for 2 people which sounds a bit expensive

Any advice or information would be much appreciated , thank you

thank you everybody for your advice , it is showing now , maybe they read the cc boards ;)

Thank you all

I have now managed to print it off along with my OBC , just in case there are any queries , It is also on my summary as suggested and will print all that info off too

Thanks for the replies , no it was not a promotion we just prepaid to avoid the hike in price , I have looked on our cruise personalizer and it show that we have paid but I cant print it off

HI

Can anybody tell me if these cabins are noisy due to engine noise please , thank you

You have to send it to Costa not Princess and they give it on cheap cruises too , we booked a 7 night cruise for £199 and got 75 euros shareholder benefit , are you remembering the country code ?

It has to be within 90 days of sailing

We sail in 48 days !

Hi

Does anybody know where I can access and print off confirmation that we have pre paid our gratuities please

I have faxed my details twice and sent an email to Princess for my shareholder benefit to be applied to our account and after 12 days it is still not on my cruise personalizer , I have read here on cc that in America it gets applied after a few hours , not happy

Thank you everybody for your time and information , I have a lot of research to do before I book , I think I would probably need to book fairly early as the boats are so small and do not want to miss out on the ship or company I prefer
