"Celebrity Today" for Baltic Cruise

[europe10]

Does anyone have the Daily Newletter ("Celebrity Today") for onboard activities during last year's 14 day Baltic cruise on the Eclipse?

Sure I do....However, scanning them and uploading them here is a different matter !!:confused:

Were you looking for something specific?

Not looking for anything specific....just curious about two things:

(1) What was the day of the BRUNCH?

(2) What were the entertainment "highlights" of the days at sea?

Thanks

If you ever do scan the Dailies to Cruise Critics, please let me know. Love to read them.

Woody,

 

Did the cruise start in Southampton? I'm interested in which nights are formal nights. Thanks.

Hi Europe10 and HubbieO,

 

Yes, the cruise departed from Southampton...Formal nights were:

 

1) Sunday Evening when we departed from Zeebrugge

2) Sunday Evening when we departed from Tallinn

3) Thursday Evening at Sea after departing from Copenhagen

 

 

Brunch was also the Thursday(1st of the last 2 sea days) after leaving Copenhagen.

 

Enjoy....It was a fabulous cruise and itinerary !!

Woody,

 

Thanks for the info. Pretty odd, choosing to have formal night on port days, when there are at sea days available. I can possibly understand having it after departing Zeebrugge since it's a pretty early departure, but why Tallinn? Did anyone from the ship ever explain the reasoning?

The brunch will be on a sea day. BUT, the biggest challenge with the Baltics is that things are so super "port intensive". Great things to see and do in this historic and charming area, but you have less time for just casual sailing. Below is a small sampling for these great options and opportunities here.

 

I would encourage doing lots of careful planning on research for your various port options in the Baltics, having a good custom, personal tour plan for St. Petersburg, etc. Check the Baltics board for more detailed info. See:

With Celebrity, the on-ship options and speaker were vary much. Past copies of Celebrity Today will tell you some, but it could be misleading for exactly what you will get on your specific cruise.

 

THANKS! Enjoy! Terry in Ohio

 

Did a June 7-19, 2011, Solstice cruise from Barcelona that had stops in Villefranche, ports near Pisa and Rome, Naples, Kotor, Venice and Dubrovnik. Enjoyed great weather and a wonderful trip. Dozens of wonderful visuals with key highlights, tips, comments, etc., on these postings.

Dancers marching in Tallinn’s festival parade near the stone towers of the famous Viru Gate:

 

 

 

At St. Petersburg’s Hermitage, just one of many, many great galleries:

 

 

 

At Stockholm’s Royal Palace, the changing of the guard:

 

 

 

Fountains and water from the spectacular Peterhof outside of St. Petersburg:

 

 

 

As we entered Catherine's Palace outside of St. Petersburg, here was the welcoming band.:

 

 

 

Copenhagen’s Nyhavn or “new” Harbor is actually old and charming. This waterfront entertainment district is lined by brightly colored 17th and early 18th century townhouses and bars, cafes and restaurants. Serving as a "heritage harbor", the canal also has many historical wooden ships. Lots of people and fun activity!!:
