Back in the saddle, again

Hi there cruisers, I'm new here and pretty much a babe when it comes to cruising.

I've done 4 Caribbean jaunts in way-too-big ships in the dark past (most recent: 5 years ago), but am now going to branch onto smaller vessels - you know, the ones that accomodate fewer people than the Coliseum.

So I'm glad to be here and hope to learn far too much than I will ever need to know. :)

Welcome to cruise critic

Need to look at Hal, nice ships none over 100,000 tons, some around 50,000, I like the Maasdam . Many of the up scale lines on also small except for the price. Welcome to cruise critic.

Thanks George, will do!

Thanks for the welcome,Paul.

Oceania "R" ships: under 700 passengers.

Can't remember which port it was (Barcelona or Marseille???) on a recent O Riviera cruise (<1200 passengers) but, we saw "Allure(?) of the Seas" in port. It was basically a grotesque oversized box with propulsion. Some folks like Vegas hotels that pass for "ships" (because they float). But, I find little style or "allure" of the sea in those monsters.

Thanks! Flatbush Flyer, that's the kind of info I need!

I deeply agree with you.

Princess and Azamara also have former "R" class ships. They hold just under 700 passengers

Oceania has smaller ships (800 passengers) . They have wonderful itineraries all over the world. They are a step up from the mass market lines but not quite luxury.

Thank you so much, Paul and Doris. I am learning greatly, already!

Hi All, I believe you can take 2 bottles of wine on Celebrity cruises. So can you purchase at each port? And take another 2 bottles onboard?

Hi, I'll answer you even though this is someone else's thread about something completely different. :o At embarkation ONLY is when you can take 2 bottles of wine per cabin (2 x 750 ml. bottles). If you bring on wine or alcohol at ports, it will be taken from you, you will be given a receipt for it, and it is returned to you at the end of the cruise, usually the last night so you can pack it as you wish. So buy and bring on as much as you want - that is certainly your right - but you won't get to keep it with you.

The best place for researching Celebrity cruises and such is the Celebrity forum. I see you have posted there in the past but here is the link again.
