Thank you.

Which terminal does Queen Anne dock at 4 July 2024?

TIA

We too were on this sailing & enjoying reliving memories. Is this your final post??

Love to hear how you got on in Southampton.

Any CPS parking discount codes?     Many thanks.

Does anyone know of any discount codes for CPS Southampton?

Thanks.

LAST CHANCE FOR PRIVATE SMALL GROUP TOUR - OPORTO 6 MAY.

 

There are just a few places left on the full day small group shore excursion with Spain Day Tours.  The cost is a very reasonable €89 per person.  The pick up is 8.45 at the port and the tour lasts for 8 hours, with a return to the port.   If you are interested go to the Spain Day Tours website for further information and register under reference Frank Waxman 0506-P.

Here is the website details: www.SpainDayTours.com

There is also an optional visit to a local winery.

Many thanks, need to do more research, !

Thank you for the info.  Perhaps nearer the date there will be more details.

Does Celebrity have a shuttle from the port of Leixoes to Oporto? If so, is there a charge & how long does it take and the frequency of transport.  Thanks.

Does Porto have a HOHO bus. Any tips please. Coming on a cruise ship Sat & overnight till 3pm next day. What suggestions for diy touring or is it better to get an organised tour?  We are not interested in wine or food tastings.  Many thanks in advance.

Just realised this should be on Portugal site!!

Does anyone have suggestions/recommendations for doing Porto on their own. Is there a HOHO bus etc. Thanks.

I am thinking of cabin 7161 on Silhouette.  Has anyone any negative comments about this cabin which I know is on the “hump”.

Thanks.

We have just booked  an Oceania cruise through a UK agent.  Today I received a phone call from Oceania in Southampton enquiring if they can be of any help. It was not convenient to take the call at the time and we are now wondering if this is normal. 

I am thinking of booking Stateroom 8058 on Riviera..  Has anyone any thoughts about this. Is it quiet and away from service doors. Many thanks.

Just mentioning for future guests, we found the temperature around the ship quite chilly.  We wore our “just in case” cardigans,jumpers,socks frequently. Obviously, the stateroom temperature can be set to your own preference.

It was a lovely cruise and all the staff were friendly and the reduced passenger numbers meant tables, theatre seats and availability of the lifts was easy.

Just remember to pack some warm clothes.

TEMPERATURE ON BOARD?

Can anyone tell me if it feels cold on board in the public areas, particularly on the current cruise where the outside weather has not been great.

Thinking about what to pack for our cruise on 6 August.

Thanks.

Does anyone know the situation with UK only cruises?

RE HAIFA.     
Thanks for the info.  Do you need cash to purchase the funicular tickets or can a credit card be used?  Do you know the cost (Seniors).  Also opening times for the gardens.  Are the areas you suggest safe for two people on their own.  Any other suggestions would be welcome.

Very Many Thanks.

If you choose to hire a guide, I recommend Gary Kamen, a good friend of mine. Please tell him that I recommended him to you.

 

If you are on your own, depending on your mobility, I recommend:

• Walking from the ship to the Baha'i Gardens via the German Colony, to the right/west of Gate 5, where you will likely exit the port. I've enjoyed visiting the Haifa City Museum there.
• Walking around the neighborhoods to the left/southeast of Gate 5, on both sides of the main street passing through the area (Derech Ha'atsmaut - Independence Road). For example, if you like brewpubs or just want reference points, look up Libira (colloquially, "I have beer") or Ma'ayan Habira (The Beer Spring).
• Taking the recently-renovated Carmelit funicular from Paris Square up to Masada station and walking along Masada street, and then taking it all the way up to HaCarmel Center (Merkaz HaCarmel). At HaCarmel Center, there are pubs, cafes, restaurants, and hotels, along with great views down into "the lower city" aka downtown and across the bay to the north. The station is also close to the Baha'i Gardens upper entrance, if you want to go up first and then back down through the gardens to the German Colony.

I forget whether the admins allow this, but if you'd like to read about and see photos of other places in Haifa I've enjoyed visiting, click here (it's my public, not-for-profit Google Photos album of a recent short trip to Haifa).

Hi,

we will be in Haifa, Wednesday 14 October 2020 6am - 7pm. On a cruise ship.  We would like to spend the day in Haifa (maybe with a guide).  Have thought about visiting the Baha’i Gardens, Clandestine Musuem & other sights in the City,

what are your recommendations?

Gillian.

We are seriously considering booking for 2019 Alaska, but are concerned by some poor recent reviews.Can anyone reassure us with an honest opinion.

we will be in NYC on 4 July, what suggestions do you have.

We are proposing to visit Zaanse Schans on our own from the cruise terminal. The ship is docked overnight, so no time limitations. What would be the best way of getting there and back and how do you buy train/bus tickets. How do you get from the port to the train and bus stations?

Thanks.
