Newbie to Celebrity with my sailing next year. I noticed they have these about once a month. I'm curious to see what they do around Black Friday and cyber Monday.

I’m not sure yet. Assuming it may be somewhere by the naval yard.

1. Bliss 2. Prima 3. Getaway 4. Sun

I also read they will be doing New England/ Canada cruises during the Fall.

Really?? I live in Philly and my first cruise was out of here to Bermuda in 1999. It’s been a long while since we have had a sailing from here.

I do see two sailings in April 2026 sailing out of Boston on the Breakaway with two overnights in Bermuda.

I've been waiting for some 2026 itineraries as well. We are thinking about the Galapagos, but curious to see what ships/ itineraries will be released for the Baltics, Africa, and South America.

We were hoping to visit in September and just have no idea what to do with our luggage. We are staying in London for the night and would feel like we would have to yo yo back and forth just to drop off our luggage.

It goes by so fast, doesn’t it? This itinerary with two day deviations on each end was the perfect length for a vacation, but it does fly by. Looks like you had near perfect weather and enjoyed a lot of sights.

From what I hear, Celebrity does them throughout the month. We have one booked on the Celebrity Ascent for next year sailing the Meditteranean.

Lovely! Both are beautiful. The views from high up in both cities are gorgeous. That line for the funicular grows quickly, but was worth it. I wish we had even more time in Alesund. It was nice walking around and admiring the architecture. Enjoy the sea day coming up.

Looks like you had stunning weather in Gereinger. We were very fortunate and had sunshine. It was one of my top 5 days in my life. Larger than life! Gorgeous photos.

Enjoy!!! Loved Iceland. Any excursions booked?

I definitely side with NCL on this then. The broadway style shows are enjoyable during a cruise, but not a make or break for me.

Skagway for the white pass rail. One of the best excursions I ever did.

Enjoy your sailing! We did this last year and did Alaska in 2019. i would say Norway is the most stunning and then Alaska out of both itineraries. But they are so close for different reasons. So much beauty. Geiranger is the best port I’ve ever been to. take it all in and I look forward to following along.

Oops. London Heathrow on Sunday September 14

Stemming off of this, we are sailing Disney this September and have a 1pm flight back to the states. Should we use private shuttle, taxi, or Disney transfer?

As said a million times, the one with Glacier Bay. Both have the observation lounge.. recommend the thermal spa pass. Sitting on those heated loungers watching whales and how small we are in the world, is memorable.

Nice! Can’t wait to follow along. We were looking at this sailing for 2025, but went with Celebrity Ascent for Rome to Barcelona. enjoy your sailing!!!’

We had to wear helmets.

I believe we used the “V” one for our golden circle tour. Whichever one we did choose, we had a great tour guide. We had a pre-booked bike tour for Amsterdam and had plenty of time to explore on our own afterwards.

We did Onda (which was great) and teppanyaki (which was good, but done with it). Our last specialty one we chose was Los lobos and was extremely surprised at how good it was. So glad we did it.

There's lots to consider. If a closed looped sailing is a must, I would recommend sailing out of Boston over NYC. In my opinion, Boston is a much better city with history and is quaint (love NYC as well, not a diss). If you are open to flying into one port and ending in a different, Quebec City is a must. I was just there this year and it really is a lovely city. Spend the extra day in the Frontenac and really live up the experience. If you did a full day and a half, it really is plenty of time to explore and get the feel. It's a small city. Sailing the saint Lawrence river is probably a pretty cool experience. I would opt for the Joy( larger ship) out of NYC or the Gem (older small)out of Boston. If you are free with time, I would recommend the longer sailing with the Sky; however, its the oldest ship I believe. Late September into October is prime season for New England/ Canada. The weather is usually perfect.

So sorry you had to deal with this nightmare of an experience. I can’t imagine the hopelessness and frustration you must have felt. We used the air promo last year on our Iceland sailing and had no issues besides a short delay. You definitely have me second guessing doing that again. again, sorry. After saving, spending, and looking forward to a big getaway, only to have several issues.
