I didn't find where to set my arrival time in the Medallion app until recently, and the earliest embarkation time I could get was 12:30pm.  If we show up earlier, may we possibly board earlier?  Or will they make us wait until our "selected" arrival time?

Our Reflection Cruise is now showing on the Celebrity App, but many of the details are really off. For the second day when you click At Sea (in the Mediterranean) it shows we are porting in the Caribbean. Also, originally it showed the menus, but it was missing day 8 and stopped after 11 days, even though it is a 14 day cruise. Now the menus aren't even there. Some of the venues only give times for 7 days, once again, not the full 14.

So for those of you who have cruised with the app, does it get corrected before you cruise? Do more details appear? Is there someplace to see the all aboard times for ports?

I think the poster was asking about Cartagena Spain, not Cartagena Columbia.

I am bumping this up as we leave this weekend I would really like to get an answer.

Does anyone know if when you overnight at your embarkation port, you can bring your wine on board the second day or only on the first day?

We board day 1 and depart day 2 from our embarkation port. Can we bring our wine on board the day we depart, rather than the day we board?

My husband and I have traveled with my senior parents on many cruises. We always ask for a table for 4 at late traditional dinning and have never had a problem. Celebrity has lots of tables for 4.

Does anyone know if you overnight at your embarkation port, can you bring the wine on the second day, or do you have to bring it on the first day?

We overnight at our embarkation port before departing the following evening. Can be bring the wine on the 2nd day, or does it have to be the first day?

We always do it. We travel with my senior citizen parents and then use it to go back and forth between rooms. Only warning though, is if the weather is really windy/rough seas the door can bang a lot. We have had to ask them to reclose it once for a couple of days.

Maybe we could play a round with you on October 3rd. We will be disembarking in Barcelona that day from the Equinox with out Mexican Train set. We could meet in the cruise terminal!

No, it is not available on the ship, but we travel with a travel set everywhere we go. It is a bit heavy, but my husband and I travel with my parents and the four of us have had games around the world. We have even played train on a train from Paris to Barcelona. Bring your own and have your own fun. FYI the card room works great for this and I am grateful Celebrity offers it. Last cruise was on Princess and they don't have a card room, so we were Mexican Train nomads constantly looking for quiet areas with tables where we wouldn't annoy other passenger.

Campolady-

I really appreciate your taking the time to help us with Malaga. I will be traveling with 3 senior citizens, so we are planning on taking a taxi to Gibralfaro. How easy is it to get a taxi back from Gibralfaro? Is there a taxi stand? If it is difficult, how often does the #35 run and is there seating at the bus stop?

I appreciate your help on this.

We have stayed there twice and found the location and staff to be great. It is on a little back alley off the Rambles. We were there before the remodel and the elevator, so I can't speak to current décor. There is a neat little local restaurant just down the street with fantastic sangria and tapas called La Ginesta. It is just a hole in the wall place, but the food is really good and you can't beat the little pitchers of Sangria.

Supt & Aquilegia-

Thank you for responding. I guess we'll show up around 11:30am too, so we can hopefully get to the buffet for lunch.

Supt,

Can you tell me how the boarding in Southampton went? We are to board her in a couple of weeks, and the cruise docs state that based on our cabin deck we are supposed to board at 3pm, but our ship departs at 4pm and that is way too late. What time did you board and what time were you scheduled to board? We want to get there around noon, but are wondering if that will mean we have to wait 3 hours before boarding.

We are going to be in St. Petersburg on the 4th of July. I am figuring fireworks are out and I told my husband he couldn't wear his American Flag shirt!:rolleyes:

I know the preferred order is to start at Vasa and go from there, but our ship does not even get into port until 9am. So I am thinking getting there at 10am will not beat the crowds. Is there a point in the afternoon the crowds thin a bit? If we got there at 3pm what sort of wait to get in can I expect?

Our assigned boarding time come up on a trip next month is 3pm, and the ship departs at 4pm. Obviously they didn't put a lot of thought into how this would really work. :eek:

My Cruise Docs state that for our deck (Riviera), we are to board at 3pm?!?. The punchline is that the ship departs at 4pm. Obviously we are going to be at the port long before then. We are not waiting until 3pm for lunch. Hope they let us on early or they are going to have some hungry, cranky people to contend with!
