  1. Great to hear. i hope they can successfully fix it for you so you can enjoy the rest of your cruise. BTW, I was just going to post the reason I thought you were not giving out your cabin number but you beat me to it. i'm sure you'll give it when you are off the ship.
  2. I am so sorry your first post on Cruise Critic is about a nightmare. You sure did get the runaround. I hope your cruise to Scandanavia makes up for it. We have sailed on many cruises and we have never booked airfare with the cruiseline. We prefer to make our own arrangements for flights. Welcome to Cruise Critic and all the best to you on future cruises and posts on here.
  3. Our cruise dropped a lot. We had already made final payment so I knew we would not get either a refund or OBC. What we did get was an upgrade from Concierge to Prime Aqua. We kept our original OBC. I was very pleased. This is on Edge.
  4. Thank you for the poll. We will sail on Edge in a short while and we have made reservations for each of the 4 dining rooms. We value the opinions of each one.
  5. Glad you enjoyed the Silhouette. it is our favourite ship too, although we haven't sailed any of the E class.
  6. We received it too. It will be interesting to see the questions and the answers!
  7. Our first was on Meridian, second was Zenith. I loved that magazine.
  8. Thank you all for your opinions on the IV. We will be trying our first one on a TP in May. It will be nice to enjoy the balcony. Previously on that sailing, (S class) we have found it too cold to sit out there and we do enjoy the balconies.
  9. We've enjoyed the helipad a few times too. The best one was out of Bermuda. However, for the Panama Canal, I think a stern cabin beats the helipad hands down. No crowding, people pushing in front of you, and when you get too hot, you can just step into the cabin and cool off. We really enjoyed watching the ship behind us and seeing the gates open and close and the water rising etc.
  10. Stay where you are and eat at the Lawn Club Grill a few times. It's an extra fee but worth it in our estimation. We haven't been on Silhouette for a while so I hope this is still true.
  11. We have booked Kobe to Singapore in May 2025. We have never been to Vietnam and I just have to see Halong Bay and also the Golden Bridge (held up by huge hands) in Hue (Da Nang). Jelaine beat me to it with her advice re Singapore. I also say, if you can afford the time, stay at least 3 days there before or after the cruise. Take the cable car to Sentosa too. Singapore is clean, orderly and beautiful. DH used to work there and I never had a moment's worry about my safety sightseeing. The gardens are lovely too. I hope you find a cruise you like. Ours is Azamara BTW.
  12. We are on Edge in May, Honolulu to Vancouver. Yes we are disappointed with the change in the itinerary but it's not Celebrity's fault. We initially had 2 days in Honolulu and Lahaina, of course. Now, we have basically nothing in Honolulu since we have dropped one day and sail at midnight on the second day. We have an overnight in Hilo. Sailing at midnight will give us time to fly in from Kauai where we will stay 12 days in our timeshare at the Marriott Nawilliwilli bay. We used to fly home from the Marriott getting on the plane at 10PM to fly to SFO and then on to Vancouver. I hated that. It is so much nicer to sail home, even if we miss some of our favorite ports. BTW, we have a picture of Summit docked in Nawilliwilli bay. Celebrity used to come there until NCL took over the port with several ships docking there. They have never come back, even though NCL only has the one ship there doing the 7 day island cruises.
  13. Thank you for the recommendation, Gracie. There will be 5 ships in Rome when we embark! That'll be a gong show!
