Does Celebrity provide a transfer between London and Southampton before and after cruises leaving from Southampton?

OP here.  Thanks for all of your comments.  We will book an afternoon flight.

It also depends on what day of the week you get off the ship.  If it is the weekend, the TSA lines are incredibly backed up and slow at FLL.  Noon or after would be better. 

It will be Friday, and I have pre-check.

I will be going on my first Celebrity cruise in February, ending in FLL.  What is the earliest reasonable time for a departing flight.  I don't want to be running through the airport and will not be carrying my own luggage off the ship.  I will have my own transportation to the airport.  Is a 9:45 SW flight comfortably doable?

Thank you.

Yes, you will need to put it in airplane mode. If you text anyone with a Samsung or Android, you must use Messenger or Signal.  I am a green bubble Android user who messes up iPhone group messages. 🤣

 

If you are doing the Eastern leg on Enchanted most of the stops are US Territory. We will be doing that on July 6. 

I am doing the Eastern Caribbean.   So if I am in a US territory, it is the same as being in the US (for AT&T)?

You can text iphone to iphone on wifi. Nothing extra needed. If an android is involved use messenger or signal.

We video call from the ship and for all of this you just need wifi.

Thank you.  I have an iphone, so based on what you said I should be good.  Do I need to put my phone in airplane mode,

while on the ship?

I will be on the Enchanted Princess, in the Caribbean.  I have AT&T on my cell phone.  I don't plan to make calls, but may send a few texts.  I see that AT&T has a $60 plan (for 30 days) for use on cruise ships.  Do you think I need that, or should I just use my plan and pay per text?   ( I will purchase the ship's wifi.)

Thank you.

May I ask when you cruise?  

June 22 - in 9 days

My medalliion arrived today.  Do I just wear it when I board, or do I need to do something to activate if before I board?

I've been on lots of Princess cruises, but this will be my first Princess cruise with a medallion.  

Thank you.

I made 2 dinner reservations in specialty reservations  on the app for my June 22 cruise, but I don't see them anyplace.   Where can I find them?

Thank you.

Does Princess have the service at FLL on the last night they pick up your luggage and the next time you see it is at your home airport?

Thank you.

Please post your comments about sailing solo on the Enchanted.  I'll be doing the same in December.  

OP here.  Thank you for all of your replies.  I will be disembarking in FLL so that is good news for me.  

I haven't cruised on Princess in 5 years.  The last time I cruised they provided a service in some US ports that, after leaving your luggage outside your cabin on the last night they would deliver your luggage to the airport and you would next see it at your home airport.  Do they still do that?

Thank you.

I have cruised many times, mostly on Princess, but not in the last 5 years.  I am a single woman and will be taking a couple on their first cruise.  How should I decide which cruise to take them on as a first experience?  I'm thinking 4-5 days to give them enough time to get a real taste of what a cruie is like, but short enough that if they don't like it, it won't be too long.  I think a mix of sight seeing and relaxing.  What questions should I ask them to make sure we find the right cruise for them?  

Thank you.  

I will be going solo for the first time on the Enchanted next December, and am anxious to hear your comments about the ship, and sailing solo.

Thank you.

My wife is transgender and we are considering a Viking Expedition to Antarctica.  We have been on 2 Viking Ocean cruises before she transitioned, and we haven't traveled at all since transition.  Do you foresee any issues for us?  I know it all depends on the other people on the cruise, but am just looking for some thoughts.   

I am trying to decide whether to purchase Viking insurance for a 15 day Mediterannean cruise or to purchase  insurance on our own.  Viking is half the price, but we would receive a combination of cash and vouchers( for a future cruise within 12 months) if we "cancel for any reason".  The other insurance will cover 75% of the cost if we cancel for any reason, but we would receive all cash.  

Any thoughts?  Has anyone done this type of analysis and what were your conclusions?

Thank you.
