Just out of curiosity....how do you sign up for Celebrity's Go Green program? Thanks, Diane

Good to know....thanks! And enjoy the rest of your cruise.

Loving the review! Quick question - are there now little sandwiches, etc, at Al Bacio in the afternoon? I've really missed those!

I've changed passengers and was charged a fee....maybe $100.

I was on the waitlist about a week before final payment on January 4. Had some problems with it however - had a conf #, got a cabin then it was cancelled with NO notification. Called Princess again, got a new conf #, etc,. And a day later it was also cancelled with NO notification. So I went to a travel agent and they have this cruise as one of their Concierge Cruises. I was able to book through them with no further problems. So you might try there. But if you get on the waitlist watch it like a hawk. Weird things happen!

Thanks for the comments....very helpful. We'll see if this all works out!

I'm considering a cruise on the Koningsdam but haven't ever cruised with Holland America. I've been on Celebrity mostly, Princess, Carnival and Norwegian. How does Holland compare to Celebrity and Princess with respect to dining (fixed, etc), entertainment, ship life, etc. Thanks for any input!

Just did this cruise a few weeks ago. I'm pretty sure the instructions were to put bags in the hall by 10PM. We went on an excursion (Lantern Walk at Butchart Gardens) and were due back before 10PM but someone on our bus accidentally got on another bus and we waited for half an hour for their return. So, got back to the ship later than planned. We hadn't put our bags out prior to excursion but did as soon as we returned (we weren't the only ones) and didn't have a problem. Sorry to have caused extra work for the attendants, though.

On the Eclipse in February they had a few "Fun Dance Classes" on the pool deck. Even though they weren't called Zumba (I'm assuming some sort of trademark issue) the classes were basically Zumba classes. Fun! Not sure if any other ships do that.

Thanks Spectromen and Northern Aurora! Glad to hear we're not going to be at Ward Cove.

Thanks for posting - sounds like you had a good trip. I'll be on this same itinerary in a few weeks and have a question... Where did the ship dock in Ketchikan? Right in the town or in another cove down the road a mile or two? Thanks

Good to know - Thanks!

I have a cruise in a few weeks and my travel buddy (SIL) has injured her knee and can't go. I have some questions that hopefully someone here has experience with. 1 - If SIL successfully makes an insurance claim (TBD) how, if at all, does that affect my portion of the cruise? 2 - If she is just a no show, how do we notify Celebrity? We haven't talked to them yet. And will that affect my portion? 3 - If I find someone to take her place, how is that done through Celebrity? Additional costs, considering we are past final payment date? 4 - Anything else I should be aware of or look into? Thanks for your help and/or comments. Diane

Is the Eclipse going in for renovations soon? I don't see any itineraries listed between Aug. 27 and Sept 24.

Yes, yes we do exist (electrical)! Did the full transit about 10 years ago and spent the day running around the ship to check out all the views. Also read "The Path Between the Seas" which provided lots of history and background. I'd love to do the east to west itinerary next time.
