I can see myself reading this thread many times over in the next few months and Thankyou to everyone who has contributed to it. Our first experience in Aqua Sky suite but have been in Aqua and regular balcony. Just wondering if kettles are provided in the sky rooms. Also curious to see how celebrity merges the Aqua experience with sky suites.

Gosh. I never knew that but knowing apple methods I shouldn’t be surprised.

In Australia we can only access the AU Facebook page so I know advising them will be pointless.

So maybe a weird question. We arrived into Kobe at 12 noon and plan to make our own way to Himeji Castle by train. I'm just wondering what time it will be dark in Japan in late April? It's an overnight in Kobe so no risk in getting back late. We are staying in Kyoto a few days prior to cruise so no need to try to get to Osaka/kyoto on the cruise and we also don't have a port call in Osaka which was a little disappointing. But a land trip will make up for it.

I've had a cruise booked for months. Every few days, regardless of which browser, I need to clear the cache and cookies which of course logs me out of everything I participate in including CC. I think I get maybe 10 goes at logging into my cruise, then the next time, I can't until I clear everything. It has been going on for too long. . So I logged in last night and it was fine. Just now? This.

It's the website. Likely it's not handling cookies and you need to delete browsing history. Happens to me regularly on all browser types.

Yes. But I have an iPhone. They are a good idea if not an iPhone user.

It isn't available for non Japanese made Androids, only IPhones unfortunately. You can just buy tickets as you go.

Do all Retreat guests get invited or just Elite ones?

For the majority of cruise lines but not all, Australian fares include tips. Problem solved.

I said exactly this on a different forum here and lit a fire. 😂. I call it a bribe.

All these daily info sheets are so helpful so Thankyou. It makes planning so much easier. It's great to see so many free shuttles as well. Provided by every port it seems.

Other than Princess, our prices in Australia generally include tips. The first cruise we went on, RCL, the crew put envelopes on the bed for cash tips. I understand why people tip for good service and we do this too. What I dislike is people who tip 'in advance' to get good service. That is a bribe in my books.

Given that unless on a package tips are added per drink anyway, then I think some "confuse' tipping with good old bribery.

I didn't think it was the getting off the ship in Hiroshima that was going to be the delay but rather the exit interview processing on return. You'd think by now this process would be well sorted.
