  1. When we visited Zadar last May on Constellation the hotel director Paul was credited with providing free shuttle in all the ports where required. When I read it was $15 return on this one I thought that was greedy.
  2. That's a really good price for about an hour transfer. When we did the reverse in 2023 it was $35. Are you sure it's not from the Ravenna train station to the port?? That used to be around $10. I'd make sure you have something in writing. It should be listed in your "my reservation" under transfers.
  3. That itinerary only has 1 tender port Kotor, depending on how many ships are there it can be a pretty long tender ride but once you are at the tender dock you are right in town. We did something similar on Constellation in 2023 and if they were docked away from town they provided a shuttle to town. We are booked on this itinerary in May. Constellation is one of the oldest ships in the Celebrity fleet and has not been totally refurbished. The public spaces have been updated but the cabins are pretty dated. That said we have been on Constellation many times and have no issues returning.
  4. Agree Yes. NRD lose the whole deposit if booked in the last several months Nope that reservation is being cancelled change fees are not applicable. 100% loss of deposit if NRD booking. The cancelled reservation will lose the deposit if NRD.
  5. Just wondering do these sources generally pass through as refundable OBC? I know with my current TA there have been cases where part of what comes from him has been some sort of joint marketing so a portion was OBCN and some OBR.
  6. I think you would need to confirm this with your TA. In my case I cancelled 2 days prior to departure due to death of my father. The TA OBC was not given to me, I assume it either hadn't been processed yet or was returned to the TA. One of several reasons I moved away from that TA that many use. Edit: So in my case the TA received full commission plus the additional $400 they were supposed to provide me as OBC. My current TA reduces my final payment by the OBC amount.
  7. You can also pre-purchase laundry bag in cruise planner. Watch for the flash sale with a discount.
  8. I also have jury duty on May 20. Just glad it doesn't interfere with any cruise plans.
  9. Last year we took the Celebrity shuttle from the ship to the Bologna train station. I believe they were loading it with arriving passengers to go to the ship for the next sailing. I believe they provide this transfer service so be persistent asking for it. I believe it was just over $30 pp.
  10. The Retreat Lounge is open and welcoming passengers as soon as the ship starts boarding. If you arrive early before boarding begins there is a Suite Lounge in terminal 25 in Port Everglades where you will be checked in and can wait for boarding.
  11. Since the OP is new I'll just point out that if you haven't paid the gratuities as part of you cruise fare they will be charged daily to your onboard account. These gratuities cover room steward, dining staff, butler (if in a suite) and other behind the scenes staff. Tips on drinks are automatically added to each drink. If you have a drink package the tips are included in what you paid for the package. If you order a drink over the package limit you will be charge the difference and 20% of that difference will be added to the slip you sign.
  12. Once you find the thread just copy the URL from the address bar of your browser and paste it into the post.
  13. I know at one point the fee was waived for suite and Zenith guests. I suspect maybe some levels of Blue Chip as well. I've never been charged the fee either but most times I'm doing OBC. Years ago there were no fees and people were taking the daily max to run up points on their credit cards and not really spending in the Casino, just taking the cash home.
  14. Since the booking is created at the time you purchase onboard I'm pretty sure it's 30 days from that point.
