Arzeena Posted October 18, 2017 #27 Share Posted October 18, 2017 Trying to understand why it is shame on Celebrity Reflection when it is your excursion and your responsibility to ask questions if you think you're not going to get off the ship in time. Having just come off Reflection, I noted that for very early morning docking, they would not announce the ship being cleared, but we got off anyway because we knew when our excursion meet up plan was and made sure we got off in time to meet at the appropriate time. My thoughts too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Iamcruzin Posted October 19, 2017 #31 Share Posted October 19, 2017 I’m wondering what a COSTCO excursion is. Sent from my iPhone using Forums It's probably a Free excursion promotion that Costco ran when booking a cruise through them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SevenSeas1492 Posted October 19, 2017 #32 Share Posted October 19, 2017 We booked our last cruise through Costco. Right before the cruise, they sent us an email listing private shore excursions they were offering supposedly for less money than the cruise line was charging. They were not free by any means. We did not book any thru them, so I don’t have any further information. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jade13 Posted October 19, 2017 #34 Share Posted October 19, 2017 With so many people trying to get off, it's hard perhaps for a private group to get off early because Celebrity makes sure their tours get off the ship first. We always get off the ship before the Celebrity excursions. We have never had a problem. Sent from my iPad using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CruiseGal999 Posted October 19, 2017 #36 Share Posted October 19, 2017 People know that Costco has a travel agency, don't you? And I can only imagine this poster is referring to an excursion booked through Costco's travel agency .... in conjunction with purchasing a cruise or perhaps not.

neverbeenhere Posted October 19, 2017 #37 Share Posted October 19, 2017 Nope. They didn't understand that Costco only has two locations in Spain. Tours to these Costco stores are a real treat, not to be missed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GUT2407 Posted October 19, 2017 #38 Share Posted October 19, 2017 These days it seems that everything is someone else’s fault. Your cruise, your tour, your responsibility. Period. Yep, always someone else at fault. But that’s the society we live in today I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thephillykid Posted October 19, 2017 #41 Share Posted October 19, 2017 Costco excursion......... Grab a hot dog and a soda for $1.50! Buy some useless stuff that you can return at the next port with no problems. Finish off with a rotisserie chicken for $4.99 Made his day not to be able to take this excursion.

Rare DENIE Posted October 19, 2017 #42 Share Posted October 19, 2017 Have to agree....we always watch carefully for the time we are supposed to meet our tour operators, and would be asking questions if it did not look like people were being allowed off the ship. Just got off the Infinity a couple weeks ago and love Celebrity's policy of no in-room announcements. We could hear announcements once or twice per day in the hallway (including the "ship is cleared"), but it was not obtrusive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

san diego spartan Posted October 19, 2017 #44 Share Posted October 19, 2017 I presume that they booked some excursion through costco travel agents (as well as possibly their cruise). Nothing wrong with that. What I cannot understand is why you would not want to go to where the ship info says you get off at that port at the time you were supposed to meet your tour group and see if you could get off. I would not wait for any announcement. Take responsibility. If you book a tour through a private means (i.e. not the ship itself), then you need to be more proactive. We usually book our own tours and no way would I wait for the time to pass and expect the tour group to still be there waiting for me. I was on an Oceania cruise last year and did several private tours and we were always off the ship and early to the designated meeting point. While I do recall that we waited for some people in the group to show up - I didn't want to be those people!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
