thanks so much for all this information. We are booked on this voyage in late March 2023- our first Viking and river cruise. Been on many ocean cruises.  Also thanks for posting menus. I am celiac and see that they have gluten free food dishes marked. Also a challenge for me.

thanks for all the great info on Portland 'to see' and restaurants. wondering if anyone may have info on gluten free eating in Portland?

thanks

Cruising NE/Canada September 2022 & arrive Charlottetown at 8 AM for overnight stay. We depart the following day at 6 PM. Never been. love walking, history, pubs with hard ciders (esp local made) and seafood (although must be gluten free which I will research more). Really do not want a crowded ships 'bus' tour.

thanks for your advice!

thanks so much for the GF bakery suggestion. I am GF and appreciate the info. We are cruising in September to NE.CA. Ant other gf must sees/eat?

all great suggestions I will check out... thanks

Hi all

thanks in advance for your wisdom on this topic.

We are spending 3 nights post cruise in Fairbanks in mid September.  So wondering if we need a car to see the must see sights?

Also looking for recommendations for mid-priced hotels. If we have a car can be any location. Seems if no car staying downtown may be better?? We will be taking the train up from Anchorage.

thanks

thanks everyone....perhaps Phillips Cruises is the answer.

Appreciate your input

We would welcome suggestions for activities for this day. Not sure I want to do a small boat cruise as concerned about seasickness I get on small boats....We dock at midnight and sail at 8:30 PM so probably need to be on board by 6 PM or so...

I am also gluten free so eating local is not always an option. Seems like GF options in Whittier are very limited unless we have time to journey outside of Whittier perhaps? First timer here.

All suggestions are welcomed & appreciated.

thanks so much for the info! every little bit helps...

Hello all

and thank you for all the great info on this board.

We will be in Southampton pre-cruise for 2-3 nights and wondering if someone can make recommendations for gluten free eating/pubs, etc. I have celiac

thank you!!

Been GF for 15+ years now and LOVE cruising... and it certainly can be hit or miss. Just off a Disney Fantasy cruise last week and had VERY high hopes not only due to cost $$$ but live 1 hr from Orlando and have never had an issue when visiting (about 10 x a yr)- they go out of their way to get GF right ... MDR was a miss as I am not sure our waiter really understood the whole GF thing and seemed overwhelmed...... however made friends with the Pool Grill Manager (and their dedicated allergy chef) and he made sure I got anything I wanted (even if not on the grill menu) GF with no issues....

Same happened on RCCL several yrs ago with a buffet manager/chef. Princess has been ok. Regent was fantastic.. they had GF food before I even asked.

I do usually bring onboard certain items- rolls (SCHAR ciabatta/breads/hazelnut wafer packs are great travel well), gf crackers, gf soy sauce packets,and some other snacks so I don't feel left out.

New to Celebrity. Have 2 upcoming Cel cruises (9/2022 and 2/2024) with high hopes as well. Glad to hear they have canyon bakehouse bread... I prefer that than the Udi's from the other cruises.

Thanks everyone for your great feedback. we have booked the 2024 NOLA cruise!

Thanks so much for the feedback.. great advice..if Sox fan cruiser is going I think we will to.  GO Sox!,,,

thanks appreciate the feedback

Just reviewed the listings for 2024 Celebrity sailings . So far, listings have the Constellation sailing from January til March from Tampa

Hi

just out are 2024 February Celebrity Constellation r/t Tampa 12 night cruise including 2 overnights in NO for Mardi Gras....would love some feedback on being there during Mardi Gras please. Wondering how the experience was....

Thank you

I believe oceanview only on one deck per SKY deck plans  SUN. I really do not want a balcony but these walled window cabins peeked my interest. Wanted to get feedback from someone who has experienced one. I know it is high & forward on ship.

Original pics from this room showed no chairs... wondering if they added since initial sailings.

We are considering a 2023 Norway cruise on the Sky and are very intrigued by the 5 cabins forward oceanview  on the Sun deck with wall of windows. Would love to hear from anyone who has stayed in one of these cabins!  Ie. is movement an issue...... are there chairs to sit & look out......thanks so much for your feedback.

Love sailing on grand old ships....the new ships are too glitzy for us and 

Lack character. We are booked on Rhapsody for  3 b2b next year . Can’ t wait. My favorite ever ships was the Britannia... a small teak decked ship with teak deck chairs..it was many years ago but I still remember it fondly.

does anyone know if rhapsody has a Starbucks on it?
