I pack a small bottle of Downy Wrinkle releaser...comes in a spray bottle it helps but doesn't make things perfect...but really we are tourists we are allowed to be a little wrinkly ;)

A man took the entire huge tray of chicken wings from the buffet and brought it over for his family to eat at their table. People watched with mouths hanging open.

Of all the ports we've done, Grenada is our least favorite. We found the people aggressive. This is, of course, just our experience. Enjoy your cruise!

Thankyou all for your advise. Its really hard when we only have 1 day in Valetta as to what should take priority. Do we do the hop on hop off bus and see around the area, focus on being at the township itself or go to the Blue Grotto which looks gorgeous.

The last thing we want to do is try and see it all and feel rushed as if we have only touched on lots of things rather than focus on one.

Thoughts ?????? Anyone who has been there done that.

Especially who has actually lived there.

I buy the pastizzi here at home frozen, I am sure the fresh ones there are scrumptious. No comparison

Ah lucky you!!!! We live in Canada now and there are no pastizzi shops anywhere around here. I am so jealous :)

I don't know how many hours you have in Malta but I think the issue with the hop on hop off is that the traffic is so congested you would spend lots of time getting from one point to another. The Blue Grotto could easily take a couple of hours if you choose a boat ride, swim and maybe having some lunch or a drink ( there are several little restaurants serving everything from burgers to fresh fish ) Valletta is also a great place to visit...a nice mixture of history, culture, retail and restaurants. Of course this is IMHO...I hope that whatever you decide to do that you enjoy it and have a great day :)

If I could also suggest while you are in Valletta....any number of kiosks all over the city ( and Malta for that matter ) sell a local snacks called Pastizzi. It's a baked filo pastry filled with either ricotta cheese or mushy peas....they are so so so tasty...not to be missed. :)

We lived in Malta ( DH is from there ). You could get a private cab to take you ( traffic is horrible so it will take awhile ) and take a boat excursion, they run all day. Ask the driver to let you have a swim, most of them are pretty easy going. Enjoy...it is my fav place in Malta :)

That was a fantastic review! Thanks for taking the time and congratulations on your engagement :)

We sail on the Summit in November...so looking forward to your report!!!! Thanks for taking the time to do it. :)

We always request large tables and have never had luck :( We have been at empty tables and were once on a b2b with only 1 tablemate the entire time who introduced himself as Mr. XX....:( Hoping our next cruise will be better.

I always give a thank you card with cash....I also bring a small bottle of maple syrup to give to our cabin attendant. We once sailed on Valentine's day and I had brought several small chocolate hearts and gave them to a few staff we had spoken to....just a little extra...who doesn't love a little surprise?

Thanks for writing such a great review....loving the details and can't wait for the rest!

I use Travel Underwritters...I have a pre-existing condition and they have good coverage for that....perhaps they would be good with seniors, too. 1 800 663–5389

Hi All,

DH and I have never stayed on the lower decks while cruising. I'm a little worried about it for some reason....would appreciate any feedback you can offer. Thanks :)

Thank you everybody...:)

Hi All,

We are planning a southern Caribbean cruise and are new to Celebrity. Can anyone tell me how the majority of people dress on formal nights? We like to dress up....would we be in the minority to wear a suit and gown? Many thanks.

Thank you for your information

Hi Everybody,

Can anyone tell me if there is a shuttle available from the pier to Orient Bay? And if so, the price.

Many thanks

DH and I are interested in booking our first NCL cruise on the Epic. I have read though that smoke can be a problem due to the location of the casino. Wondering if I could get some opinions here, please. DH is sensitive to smoke so wondering if it is really a problem. Many thanks :)

Hello Miss Vickie,

Do you remember how long the transfer takes from Pointe Seraphine to Ti Kaye?

Thank you,

Regina

Hi Regina,

I was told approximately 30 minutes. The hotel told me that the dive shop operates the transfers.

Deb

We are interested in booking a day pass at Ti Kaye. Can anyone who's done it tell me about their experience?

I would like to know what's included, the cost and the times the boat picks you up and brings you back.

Many thanks.

We have had this exact cabin on Jewel as well as other cabins in the same area (#9576, 9578 (opposite 9078)) on other Radiance class ships, and friends have been in #9076. We have never experienced any noise from the Centrum once our door was shut. As another poster said, this particular band/entertainment must have been extremely LOUD. :eek:

Thank you Rala, we're going to stay put then. I looked online last night and there aren't many cabins left, so your post ( and a few others ) is good news. Phew!!!

It shouldn't be that bad for you since you are behind the wall, which blocks most of the noise. Don't think I would change cabins if I were you. If I were in 8586 or 8588, I would consider moving because there is an opening there that allows noise to come through worse.

 

Linda (and C. D.)

Thanks for your post Linda. I appreciate it.

EEEK I am, too. I have 8594 on the Jewel...maybe I should try to change it???

I make a photocopy of my passport info pages and leave the real one in the safe...the photocopy gives all the information you need ( unless you have a visa of course )

I'm surprised no one has mentioned St Lucia. We did a tour of the island and a beach and I really don't like it. Don't feel safe there. This time round we will stay on board when we dock there. Sleep in, have a leisurely day.
