Has anyone found a shop that offers wine tasting (not necessarily a winery) near where we dock in either Cadiz or Malaga? Thanks!

Question…. When you sail for longer trips (world cruises for example), how do you fill medical prescriptions? We have sailed 24 days straight (b2b, same cabin) so have not had to deal with more than a month at a time. Just curious-

I am technologically challenged 😬…… is there a vpn that you recommend?

We will be traveling for an extended period of time, and I was curious if there is a way to find/use a secure wifi connection if needed while on board. Not necessarily going the VPN route....More so if we needed to log into our bank or credit card websites-We will be on the Silhouette.

I'm sure they will....Just not sure if we'd rather spend a little more time on the ship or in the Las Ramblas area- Ideally I'd like to leave the ship around 11:00, so trying to determine if it is worth paying for the couple extra hours with Extend Your Stay

We will be docking in Barcelona and we’re looking at our options to spend some time before we can check into our hotel (Las Ramblas area). We have visited a few times previously, so we are not interested in doing any excursions. Can someone please jog my memory on what the latest disembarkation time is without doing extend your stay? Thanks

Jumping in late to the thread...I so enjoy your blogs! It was fun to hear your voice....I've only just heard it in my head when I read along :)! Have fun!

Thanks for pointing this out....booking this trip has been a little challenging- I would think that a passenger is a passenger, no matter where they are from- There is only one travel agency in the US that I can book through, and I have not always had consistent info when using others to book my travel. I just want to be sure that I have all my ducks in a row before I put down our deposit (which is higher than any other cruise that we have taken on other lines before).

My son is thinking of joining us on an Aurora sailing next year. He is not sure who/if anyone will be sharing his stateroom. I’m not sure the best way to book his cabin- As a solo, and then add a possible passenger, or cancel/no show his cabin mate if necessary? Any advice on other’s experience? Thanks!

I have not tried calling them directly yet....I appreciate you sharing @Selburne's with me!

Hello! I am looking at booking a cruise sailing out of Southampton (Aurora)...We live in the US- I am not a huge fan of their website, and not super confident in the booking process online... We normally sail on Celebrity, and I'm not familiar with P & O- Calling directly? Website? Travel agent? TIA

Pointers please 🙂 Looking at a Northern Lights cruise March 2025. Due to time constraints, we’d like to do either 6-7 days. Looking at either Hurtigtuten or Havila. Do we go north to south or vise versa? Tips? TIA

We are looking at the "Extend Your Stay" option on one of our sailings....The one that is offered for Retreat guests (we will be on the Silhouette). It looks like you still need to be out of your room by 8:30, but can stay on the ship until 2:00. Can anyone share with me if there is food available anywhere after everyone has disembarked? Thanks

We are docking overnight in August in Pauillac (Celebrity Silhouette). For those that have gone on winery tours, do you have any favorites? I know that Bordeaux is a couple hours from port. TIA

We will be sailing on the Celebrity Silhouette...Docking Aug. 25-26th

Hello to all! We have an overnight port in Copenhagen at the end of August. We are in our early 60's, don't mind some walking, but after too much we have some mobility issues. I am thinking one day we will do Nyhavn and possibly a canal tour. The other day I am thinking Tivoli Gardens. Is a guide needed for Nyhavn? How far from the cruise port (I don't know which dock we will be at...We are on Celebrity, so a larger ship) All suggestions appreciated!

We will be on Celebrity...Silhouette

Thank you! Did you purchase your tickets when you got there or before your trip?

Much appreciated! We are sailing B2B, and I really know nothing about most of our ports this trip...It's so fun and helpful to hear about everyone's experiences! Jumping into the planning stages now- Woooo hooo!

Thanks so much!!

Hello! I just came across your thread.... We are sailing Silhouette in August. Can I ask how you arranged the "meet and assist " at the airport? Thanks! I can't wait to read your whole thread!

From other threads in the forum I am trying to get a clear picture on getting from the cruise port (I am thinking it will be Stadsgarden) to the Vasa Museum. Is going by ferry the only way to get there? I am traveling with someone who has mobility issues....If we need to take the ferry, how far is the walk to get there? It looks like there are limited daily tickets sold.....did you purchase your tickets before hand through the Vasa website? TIA

We are going to be docking in Warnemunde on a Sunday in August - We are interested in spending our day in Rostock and Warnemunde....are shops and restaurants open on Sundays? We prefer to go by private car as opposed to train or bus....Is it easy for private transfers to pick up at the dock? Is it an easy walk from Warnemunde to the ship? TIA

Is there an easy way to see what cabins are still available on sailings? I normally just go through the “online “ booking process and see what it shows-Just was wondering if their was a quicker method (besides using a travel agent)……Thanks!

If you go to the Celebrity website and type in Private Journey, it will bring you to the page with phone numbers and email... I believe this is the email -privatejourneys@celebrity.com. After I submitted my requests, it did take a few days to hear back.
