moking34 Posted August 10, 2012 #179 Share Posted August 10, 2012 16 weeks to go.... :D Yahoo! We can hardly wait! Just got a new suitcase for our suits for my birthday. Can hardly wait to use it! Are there any new Aquafester's yet? Noticed they no longer have pricing on their website and wonder if the group is full? Also has anyone decided to do Aquafest's tours? We've decided to go with the Genoa and Provence tours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We've decided to go with the Genoa and Provence tours. I'm not sure if they filled their quota or it was a time limited offer Celebrity gave them, I do hope it's a good size group. I signed up for the Rome pre cruise 2 day tour/transfers but really haven't looked at the Aquafest onboard tours. I'll have to look at the Genoa and Provence ones. My friend told me the other day Provence was really a nice unspoiled port Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

moking34 Posted September 6, 2012 #184 Share Posted September 6, 2012 Well, our final payment was processed. Good news is thanks to a high Canadian $$ against the US was less than $28 extra in the exchange rate! Gotta keep stocking up on that USD!!! Now waiting to see what the EUR is against the CDN for some of the shore excursions... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry been sidetracked doing family court mediation lately, sometimes I miss the simplicity of doing business mediation, maybe I'll switch back or do both to keep balanced :rolleyes: Didn't see anything other than what was mentioned on website, my guess is it will be similar to Pied Piper where have nightly drinks together before dinner, tours of bridge, backstage, and kitchen, and a few gatherings on sea days Onboard Aquafest Amenities Include Private group shore excursions in selected Mediterranean ports-of-call $50 per cabin onboard spending credit Bottle of wine per stateroom Private cocktail Party Private group gatherings and socials I know I did sign up for the pre cruise package in FCO and that included 2 night's accommodations at Forty Seven Luxury Boutique Hotel at the Roman Forum with daily breakfast included 2 full days of intimate group sightseeing of Rome's main treasures including the forum, Coliseum, a walking tour of the Pantheon, Spanish Steps, Trevi Fountain, and private "skip-the-line"Â entrance into the Vatican-2 lunches included Private group transfers to Civitavecchia and Celebrity Silhouette on sailing day Hosted by - Tom Baker of Aquafest and Exclusive Famous Rome Archaeologist Guide - Dr. Enza Fratello Edited September 6, 2012 by johhnnyt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ptownandpompano Posted September 9, 2012 #191 Share Posted September 9, 2012 Hi folks, i haveconfirmed that there are no less then 14 Ptown based folks cruising on on the Silhoutte on December 1. None of us have booked through Aquafest because we didnt know about them when we boked. Amazingly, although we are all here in Ptown this summer, we do not all know each other and most have boked independently. a number of us wil be arriving in Rome on November 27 and again, independently have boked at the Hotel Artemides. Were all loking forward to the cruise and meeting you all. By november we wil all be disbursed from Ptown, some are flying from Boston, sme from Fort Lauderdale, some from Miami.

daviddfld Posted September 19, 2012 Author #199 Share Posted September 19, 2012 I'm disappointed that we don't have a roll call for this trip. Someone had promosed to put one together quite some time ago, but didn't follow through. I guess it's too late to start one now. David Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David David and Larry, Just wanted to pop over here, to ask you if we met on a prior cruise? My wife and I were on the Eclipse TA, 31oct10. I think we met at the martini bar? That was a GREAT trip. This will be our 4th TA, so I guess we love them. There are so many repeat cruisers on these TA's. I am bringing 2 ~ "newbie" TA cruisers, so I am hoping they enjoy it too. This is going to be ONE BIG group!! Kevin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
