  1. If you are interested in the history of Detroit, and it's close proximation to Canada, read Jeffrey Eugenides books. He is an author born in Detroit, and while his books can be controversial, (as any good book is), he does give some history on prohibition and how bootleggers would drive across the lake Canada.
  2. Years ago, when I was younger, we would do the trains. It is very doable, but as I have aged and been able to afford private cars too and from I can't imagine going back. However, life can throw you a curveball and I would certainly do it again if needed.
  3. We have done all of the classes and only do CC if the price difference isn't great. Didn't realize we could use them for guest services issues. Thanks
  4. Funny, because my partner got the same offer and he never goes into the casino, but I do. So I thought it was really a way of filling up the ship. It's sad because we love Celebrity and would hate to see them leave the West Coast. But if they cant' fill the ships, they don't have a choice.
  5. I am happy to receive the offer, trying to figure out why the price is higher if I wait until the April cruise to book.
  6. We got a blue chip offer today for Mexico cruise from LA. 7 day. Says a $7 deposit but only the ones leaving asap. The ones leaving later in the month are at a higher price. Any clue why?
  7. I can only understand how you feel. It sounds like there are so many new staff members and some don't know the proper way to acknowledge a misstep. As a business owner, we are always conflicted how to acknowledge a misstep. Do we say "we f'd up or just try to make it right". I agree since so many f'd up, someone should have acknowledged it, but I have a feeling no one wanted to admit to the mistake. Especially since you both are so kind and aren't screaming about your experience.
  8. Everybody had bad days. Maybe that was his. Give people a break
  9. but awesome our Girl Amy won. It is a move forward for man kind and she is a local gal.
  10. LOL Hate when they preempt Jeopardy and our own SF native Amy won !
  11. Thank you so much!!!! We will try this. I think we have a firestick in the house somewhere.
  12. I am very curious how you stream live shows. I am have tried to read through but can't figure out it. Can you do a "for an idiot" version of how to do this. I am of the age I watch Jeopardy and Wheel of Fortune every night along with ABC7s and my Golden Girls at bedtime. Would love to figure out how to do this. I don't love the programs available on Celebrity.
  13. This is one reason we like the ships with the enclosed pools. Lol even though princess sometimes heat the pools, they are still chilly.
  14. It is nice. We actually took three Princess ships this past year for that reason. The first two were out of SF. Great to just take a taxi from our house to the ship. Went for five days, then a ten day. Next a princess to Hawaii for 15 days. Looking forward to getting back onto Celebrity and our perks. LOL
  15. I am SO EXCITED to see this review. I love your reviews and we booked this cruise for New Years! Can't wait to read through it.
  16. We all have opinions. Never went to Silk Harvest but love Le Petite Chef. It is forward thinking and I guess that isn't really for everyone. It's the same dinner over and over but it is fun, relaxing and different, which we prefer.
  17. Thank you so very much for this report. As someone else said appreciate your kind tone. We sail in a week and I am beyond excited. Third cruise with princess. We are celebrity people but have had a great time because of the crew. We did this same cruise a few months ago and enjoyed the ports. Cabo especially.
  18. We will be in Waikiki in October and wondering if there are any suggested hotels for day passes?
  19. What a wonderful review!!! Your writing style is awesome. I would have assumed you were a teacher based on your writing style. But I see you do research papers, etc. Truly enjoying your review. We would love to do the Beyond, as we have sailed on Celebrity most of our cruising lives. But they prices are far Beyond what we want to invest at the time
  20. We rarely participate in Rc Activities but love reading through them. I hope they don’t go away. We have meet people we had had the pleasure of enjoining excursions with, as well as transportation to our hotels etc. We are very liberal and rarely agree with many of the political views of some participants and yes, people get divisive. But I would hate to see thero calls go away. They are a great source of info not only on the ships, but also a way to share and relate info to new cruisers and people new to a certain cruise lines. I am very appreciative of what I have learned through the years by joining rolls calls.
