I’m not keen on the E class if I’m honest. Been on Apex once and going again in June and on Beyond in October. Dh loves the E class.

We went on Disney several years ago. Then we moved to Celebrity which is good but not as good. Also the service and buffet on Disney is superb. Also the embarkation lunches- fabulous. The dine around restaurants taking your servers with you is inspired. When we have grandchildren we will be back!

We loved Blu on Silhouette in June. Preferred it to Luminae on Apex in many ways. We are on Beyond in a suite in 2 weeks and no menus (I’m just hoping for lobster roll in Luminae). Apex next year in an SV so I’ll be interested to try the 4 different restaurants and already have some speciality dining booked to shake it up a bit.

We’ve booked a guarantee and have a MC suite. I’m interested in trying it as it was such a good deal. If I don’t hate it I may book it again if I get a good deal. I wouldn’t pay full price for any SS at the moment as I don’t trust Celebrity to change the conditions!

Glad it’s not just me that takes wipes with me! We have 3 weeks at a time share in the U.K., my kids and their friends, have grown up knowing that every handle, (including window) light switches, remote controls, are wiped down before anything is put away. They even know that the hairdryer provided is to be sanitised!

Yes good point!

Can you imagine the furore if Celebrity carried on with the original itinerary and something happened to any of the passengers? Celebrity have been absolutely correct to change the itinerary to keep everyone safe. It’s a risk you take when you book a cruise that it may not end being the ports you originally thought you were getting.

Thank you that’s what I thought! Im wondering how it will all work though. If I use my U.K. passport for online check in? How will I show I don’t need ab Estia? All so confusing! :))
-
It’s always a risk that ports will change. Many years ago on Disney (I think) a stop in Tunisia was changed to a terrorist attack. Safety is paramount.

What does a Butler in Yacht Club actually do?

No 2 is not good. Did it get resolved? -
Which were your favorite cruises ?
wineoclock replied to scubacruiserx2's topic in Ask a Cruise Question
We haven’t done as many as some but Norway fjords to my breath away. Also sailing into Kotor, Malta and Venice - wow! Caribbean on Galaxy and Bahamas was nice but didn’t wow me though celebrity Galaxy was our first cruise and it got me hooked on cruising! -
I feel for the people so much. We were on Apex October last year for my bucket list to Israel and had a wonderful time. But it’s always a possibility that it may not happen. Im Cypriot so am sorry I didn’t see this earlier to recommend restaurants for dinner.

I’ve just asked on another thread how it will work for dual nationals. I asked my TA. They didn’t know You can only provide one passport for online check in, so if I use my EU one will I need to show I don’t need visa to come to U.K.? if I use my British passport to check in I’ll have to show I have an ETIAS? All so confusing! They all said if I used my EU passport for online check in I couldn’t ask the British consulate for help if necessary. I can’t see how that is right? God for the days before Brexit, when it was easier and I’d no need of another passport!

Schengen 90 day in 180 day rule for Non EU nationals
wineoclock replied to Sam34jolly's topic in UK Cruisers
Yes it did. We applied for our EU passports as soon as the vote was decided; mainly so ours dcs could also have the EU passports, in case they ever wanted to work in Europe it would be easier for them. And I’ve of them did and worked in france for a while. Much easier for them than their friends who had to supply multiple documents! -
How Many Cruise Lines have you Cruised!

How Many Cruise Lines have you Cruised!
wineoclock replied to Hlitner's topic in Ask a Cruise Question
Oh I have lots of ideas in my head. QM to New York bit of a driving holiday Visit Boston maybe try and do a couple of cruises in the Americas region Panama South America Alaska Iguazzu (my favourite place on earth) Sail back on another ship possibly from Argentina/Brazil as I said all ideas in my head but how much in reality 🤣 I would need a good TA to help sort it and a hefty bank balance which currently I don’t have. But a dream is nice! One day maybe x -
Schengen 90 day in 180 day rule for Non EU nationals
wineoclock replied to Sam34jolly's topic in UK Cruisers
Thank you that’s what I thought. we leave and enter the U.K. with our British passports but when we arrive or leave the EU we use our EU passports or ID. Especially since some countries are having separate lines for EU and Non EU with U.K. now sometimes in the Non EU line as it should be now we’ve left. That sounds garbled but hope you understand! We always travel with both passports. -

wineoclock replied to Sam34jolly's topic in UK Cruisers
Anyone know what happens if the ETIAS (?) comes into force? We have EU passports and British passports. We’ve been told by our TA if we use our EU passports to check in we can’t get help from British embassy. If we don’t use our EU passports then we May have to Apple for ETIAS ? which we don’t technically need. Not sure if that’s corrrect wonder if anyone knows. -
How Many Cruise Lines have you Cruised!
wineoclock replied to Hlitner's topic in Ask a Cruise Question
Ahh brilliant thank you. It’s crazy I never thought of them! We are in Cyprus so often as we have a family house there. -
I don’t eat them at all! I love most food but cannot abide mashed potatoes. Except for my mum’s and then not often! Edit: we are in an SV in June so have made several speciality reservations just in case! Menus have disappeared from our upcoming Beyond cruise on the 20th this month. I’m hoping lobster roll is still available in Luminae 😍
-
We just book Speciality dining for the restaurants we want so as to get when we want. Done LPC once and Wouldn’t bother again. But nice as a novelty. Food wasn’t great we didn’t think.

wineoclock replied to Hlitner's topic in Ask a Cruise Question
2 lines DCL Celebrity Have a Regent cruise booked Due to health I can no longer fly long haul so most of our cruises are in Europe. Still trying to persuade dh for a QM transatlantic. Those who have sailed Celestyal/Louis (sp?) what did you think please? @Essiesmom and @Izzywiz We are often in Cyprus and have never thought of them! -
Thank you

We have our first Regent cruise on Splendor booked in October next year. What time are the theatre shows roughly please?
