Hey Cublet, why not join us for a sailaway drink in Sunset bar. See you on board!

Can someone tell me how many Chic Nights on the UK 8 day cruises? Is it 2?

Yes there is usually a cheese plate available , if you do not see it of have some preference, ask the waiter. All waiters we have had on Celebrity have been more than accommodating to our requests. In addition if in Concierge and you do not like the daily selection of tapas, ask for a fruit and cheese plate.

Can anyone tell me if Celebrity has alcohol free gin onboard in any of the bars?

We also do not eat desert so often ask for anorher appetizer instead. The waiter has been more than willing to do this.

Will have to look out some of my old photos for the menu at Al Bacio.

Having had to wait for tables on most nights of our last few cruises, I decided to prebook our dining times for this cruise. Really hate those buzzers.

On the Website I went to Cruise Planner for the Cruise, then went to Dining and Drinks. Choose the Celebrity Select Dining Anytime and enter a time for the first night. Go all the way through to checkout and exit the planner. When you receive the email saying you have successfully booked your dining, go back into Cruise Planner and that was when I saw a link saying that I could book dining for the remaining days of the cruise. It should show a planner type screen where you have to choose the passengers, for each day and then you can choose the venue and time that you wish to dine for each day.

For our last cruise from Southampton, Silhouette to Norway Fjords; Aug 2019 we were able to walk to the pier through the main gates next to the hotel. However on our disembarkation these gates close to the hotel were locked and we had to get a taxi from the port to take us back to the hotel, which involved using another set of gates some distance away and then coming down the main road back in to Southampton. So best to check this gate is open before lugging the cases towards the ship. We have booked a "Stay, Park, Cruise" package at the Holiday Inn which includes the overnight accommodat

I just logged on and booked my dining choices for the whole cruise. I was able to get my choice of time (7:45 pm) for most days, only 1 or 2 days did I have to choose slightly earlier or later than my preferred dining time. Usually we have the concierge book our dinner slots when on board, but as this cruise seems to be busy with pre-bookings, I decided to be ultra organised. We can always change 1 or 2 slots on board, if we find they do not fit with our plans.

This is from the Always Included info: We know staying in touch is important, so we’ve included internet access for all guests. Browse the web, check email, and use messaging apps.

Hi there mrsgoggins, we have also booked to go on the UK cruise on 23Jul2021. Really looking forward to getting back on board and relaxing at Al Bacio or the Passport Bar. See you on board!

I booked my next cruise before the "Always included" was available, a quick phone call to my TA and it was added to my cruise at no extra cost!

Had my first vaccine yesterday and when you receive the vaccine they give you a card with the type of vaccine (AZ or Pfizer), batch number and the date administered. This is your proof of vaccine. However it is NOT a vaccine passport, as the UK government have not agreed to provide this. So for travel either this vaccination card or a more formal "passport" is likely to be required.

I for one am looking forward to seeing what these "Coastal cruises" from Princess and P&O look like, when they will be and the pricing. I hope Celebrity do think about following suit and if the Eurpoean cruises are cancelled, they put on some for UK residents or other EU nationals.
