Belgian fry

My theory is that the "red" cruises are those that have been scheduled from the start. They are full because they have the people who originally booked for 2024 + the people from the cancelled spring 2023 sailings (some of whom were previously booked on 2022/21/20 sailings). Since then, Celebrity has added a bunch of new sailings, which are not sold out

Same for me, I've tried several times

Just had the same on RCCL(same app, essentially). I like to look at menus for inspiration, but they only list 3 drinks or so. Very disappointing

If looking at Norway, which of these itineraries would you say is better:

 

Bruges, Flam, Geiranger, Bergen

 

or

 

Stavanger, Geiranger, Flam, Haugesund

 

Thanks!

I live in Belgium and Bruges is beautiful, so I can recommend that. I can also tell you that Flam is stunning! Stavanger is more industrial, but there are lots of lovely places around there. I haven't been to any of the others

Will Galapagos come out on 29 November then?

My Millennium cruise for 28 March 2024 has now disappeared from the App. I tried adding it back, but it disappeared again!

This is stressing me out. We are booked on the 28 March 2024 sailing on Millennium. It's my husband's bucket list trip, planned for his retirement and we got a super deal. I doubt we'd be able to get anything similar for the price we paid. European bookings seem to be treated far less favourably

Sounds great. Is there a toilet on the boat? It looks rather small

If you're Diamond, you can get unlimited specialty coffee from the machine in the DL and use the vouchers for something else if you like.

Such as sharing with friends who aren't Diamond 😉

I think it's actually Park Café on Briliance (Deck 11 forward) or Café-Lattetudes (Deck 5 midship) 

Oh dear. Will you even be allowed to dock in New Zealand? They are so strict!

Any time up to 2 hours after sailing

Why do people always want to sit by themselves?

My husband is French and his English is very limited. There isn't a way of being paired-up with other French-speakers. Being at a large table when you're the only one who doesn't speak the language isn't much fun

In some ports this is not allowed, but it's indicated in the daily planner

I don't think the wellness check is the same as the 3 questions you answer when you check in though, is it?

Hi OP,

I'm guessing you haven't cruised before. I would strongly suggest you leave your suitcase shore-side and only carry on what you need until you get your suitcase back. It's really busy on deck/in the buffet until people get their cabins.

The "porters" don't need tipping (there are signs up), but do as you prefer. The person bringing you suitcase to your cabin is probably a waiter, though.

There are people who bring the bags to your floor, then others who deliver them to your cabin, so you might find your suitcase in a group close to the elevators.

You will not be able to get close to guest services. It's crazy just after boarding.

Enjoy your cruise!

Trying to convince someone to take a cruise who has had a bad experience on smaller craft is about as considerate as trying to convince someone to change their political affiliation or religion.  

 

 

 

Really? I get terribly seasick/car sick, but I have always been fine on cruise ships with the help of a little medication.

While true, the ships have to get TO the fjords and to do so, most of them sail from ports like London or Amsterdam, then up the coast of Norway, then sailing into the various navigable fjords. Like the voyage shown below, which visits three of them:

 

Indeed, we had a delayed then very rocky departure from Rotterdam on our Fjords cruise in 2019. Getting the pilot off the ship and onto the helicopter was extremely spectacular

Thanks I have to fly home while only a 2 and half hour flight not going to take the chance

It really doesn't need to be refrigerated. You'll be fine.

Middle of the ship but away from elevators and service areas, with cabins above and below you

Extension cords are OK, surge protectors are not

Teaching people how to drive their scooters.

OMG on one cruise there was an emergency call just as we were headed to dinner. The locations was the staircase we were headed to to get to the dining room. Someone had gone down the stairs in their scooter!
