Gotcha. I thought you said above that you had just bid. We are on the same cruise.

Enjoy it! Just making sure you bid this morning, correct?

Right. This is exactly what we do. I check prices daily and know that sometimes if I want to upgrade, it is just cheaper to do so without bidding. This time around, we sail on Monday and some interesting categories have opened up.

Very interesting. I decided to bid again and upped a few categories after you posted on the roll call this morning and I checked inventory. When I put our bids in originally weeks ago, we bid $300 a person for Aqua class and that is where it is now. Currently in an obstructed verandah.

Do most of you come in with your best bid initially or change them pretty frequently?

Is there a source anywhere that shows calories for Celebrity menu items?

Perfect! Thanks so much!

Love MSC and would not hesitate to book them again. Have been on several as well as every other cruise line numerous times.

Does the Celebrity Silhouette offer coconut water for sale? If so, do you know how much? No beverage package.

Thanks! I was thinking of the Prinsendam and Maasdam and now realize they are no longer in the fleet.

Have cruised a LOT but never done a Transatlantic. I know the weather will be iffy and leans more toward cold and windy than calm seas with the sun shining. Any special clothing to take? How do you dress for a TA cruise?

Lots of tips to keep in mind. Did you hear about the group of cruisers on the NCL Dawn earlier this week?

Carnival ships I believe as well as some Princess and a few Holland Americas.

I know there is a tourism area at the cruise port but do they offer tours you can book once you get off the ship? Or what would be the cost to hire a taxi for a few hours to see the sights outside of the city? I have read to make sure the driver speaks English but have not seen any mention of costs other than it is much cheaper than the ship.

Can you just do a day here and there or does it have to be consecutive or for the entire cruise?
