  1. I’m staying at the Hampton inn at Elizabeth NJ for my cruise on Oasis of the seas. That’s not too far is it? I’ll be using taxi Uber or a shuttle as I won’t have a car.
  2. So far I've only sailed on Royal Caribbean, and I've just reached Diamond in the Crown & Anchor. Do I get similar benefits? At Royal I'd get 4 free drinks per day. When I sail on Celebrity will I earn points that will level me up on Royal also? Curious how it works. Thanks
  3. It's a ship excursion through Royal Caribbean. I really enjoy the sound of the excursion.
  4. I'm trying to work out whether a beverage package will be worth it on my next cruise. If I go to the bar and ask for club soda, is that a charge or included?
  5. Very excited. After a lone excursion I was hoping for was booked I got another tour that takes me there (to Monaco). It’s the Nice, Eze & Monaco discovery Have any of you been on it. Really looking forward to it. Hopefully a couple opportunities for a coffee or a glass of wine in a quaint spot, square or narrow street? Obviously a few souvenir shops
  6. I'm planning a cruise for next year/2024 out of Athens. I'd love to make a post cruise stop on Patmos for a few days. I'd be travelling solo. Is it complicated getting a ferry there from Athens? Should I have any concerns about getting a ferry and back. Just started planning and checking out a lot of details.
  7. I've booked my pre cruise hotel for my cruise out of Civitavecchia. They offer a transfer service but I need to contact the hotel directly. To call or text from Canada do I have to put any numbers in front of the +39?
  8. Thanks so much for the advice. I'm going to book a tour and then see after that what time I have to look around town. Is there any nice places to grab a drink or a meal? It could be with a view, a quaint sidewalk cafe, somewhere someone here can recommend so I can soak up some atmosphere for a few minutes provided there is the time.
  9. One of the ports on my transatlantic is in Gibraltar and I'm very excited about it. But I don't know much about Gibraltar. I would definitely like to see the Rock, but I also think Catalan Bay looks interesting. Is it possible to see both in the same day? 7 am to 2 pm. I'm probably going to have to chose which one, but I thought I'd ask here for everyone's advice.
  10. Booked my second TA for October 2023 on Odyssey on Royal. This one westbound. Transatlantic cruises still need a COVID test 2 days before?
  11. Thanks so much for the advice. Does Uber work in Saint John? How much roughly would a taxi cost from airport to the Holiday Inn Express? Thanks.
  12. Hope I'm posting this is the right spot. I'm travelling from St. John New Brunswick to Digby Nova Scotia by ferry. One way without a car. When we arrive by air we'll be staying at a hotel hopefully near the port. We do not have a car and will be relying on taxi's/uber. One of us is elderly and has mobility issues. We want to arrive and stay overnight and then make our way to ferry by taxi. This will be at the end of November hopefully. Does anyone know of a good hotel near the port not too far. We've never been on the ferry and will be our first time.
  13. Thanks so much. I'll try some experimenting in the kitchen when I get a little time. Everyone's help is really appreciated.
  14. i want to say it almost had a horseradish hint to it, but i could be wrong
  15. For the first time I tried the pretzel and dip at the pub on my last cruise on Ovation of the Seas. The dip was awesome and made me remember years ago when I was young, and my dad and Uncles used to have a dip they would have with chips. Don't know what it was called even at this point, but the dip so reminded me of it. Does anyone here happen to know the recipe or a similar one? Thanks so much.
  16. If the cruise I’m on departs September 30 then I still have to do all the testing and stuff though right?
  17. If I arrive well before my check in time for my cruise can I take a walk past the ship (Ovation of the Seas) then go back and go in to check in for the cruise? Or is it not possible or not practical? Just would like a decent photo of the ship from the port before I board.
  18. How does it work at Canada Place? Do I check in for cruise first, or do I go through customs first?
  19. Thanks for all the advice. I have managed to get a spot booked for a test within walking distance at a shoppers. A bit nervous about the port though. Both my cruises I was on before left from Florida and seemed quite straight forward. I have a 10:30 check in time but likely I will be up very early anyway. If I arrived before 10 I'm guessing I will be standing waiting outside somewhere? I'll maybe take an uber or taxi from hotel.
  20. Sailing out of Vancouver on Ovation of the Seas in September. There's a Pharmasave on Howe Street near the Holiday Inn & Suites. I'm wondering if anyone knows if they do rapid antigen tests for cruises? Also, what can i expect from the Vancouver cruise terminal. I've heard things in reviews about the signage not being good etc. My boarding time is 10:30 what is a good time to set off from hotel?
  21. Sailing out of Vancouver end of September on Ovation going to Hawaii. If I understand this correctly I still need a negative covid test (rapid antigen) to board? And since it leaves on September 30, I can take the test on September 28?
  22. After a lot of going back and forth about which one I've picked to pre cruise stay for 2 nights before cruise I've picked one. Am sailing out of Vancouver on Ovation of the Seas to Hawaii. Holiday Inn & Suites Vancouver Downtown on Howe St. Hopefully this isn't a mistake. Not sure about what area is like but I generally don't go out at night and like to stick around the hotel. I'd probably even bring my dinner back and eat it in front of the tv. Hoping I made a good choice. The online reviews seemed ok.
  23. Thanks. With the current airport hassle I was hoping to avoid a connecting flight. Maybe I'll just break up the trip and stay over at the connecting spot.
  24. Sorry am flying October 11th or 12th this year.
