Welcome to the cruise! Please join us on the roll call where you may be more successful.

A rookie mistake: packed a bottle of wine in dirty clothes for the trip home. After picking up the luggage at the airport, smelled merlot all the way home...hmm...the red wine bottle had broken and all our good clothes soaked up the liquid. :o

Vinnie Bags are a miracle. I've brought home wine, liquor, olive oil all home safe. Though I think they are much more expensive than when I originally bought mine.

Just booked 3 OV guarantees for a holiday cruise and the cabins were assigned within a day. There are plenty of cabins available. While I am not unhappy with the cabin locations, I don't like that they are all 1/2 of connecting cabins and none of them connect to each other.

 

My travel agent contacted Celebrity and was told that since we booked GTY and actually got assigned a category 6 (yes I am very aware that this category would have cost me $600 more per cabin) that are in very close proximity to each other, we should be grateful. I was not asking for an upgrade, just to be moved down to a few cabins that do not connect. There are plenty of cabins available. Maybe I will ask him to try again at a later date.

This is similar to what happened to us. We were not able to change after much trying.

Sometimes it's a minibus which has a row down the center and two by two configuration on each side. The best thing to do is check out the tour operator's web site.

I DO know that the X80 did not run this past winter, but other than that, I don't know when it does run. I was even having trouble finding a real schedule for it.

 

 

 

oasa.gr is transportation website plus ametro.gr & tramsa.gr

 

I wrote to the bus company and they informed that Bus X80 will stop running after October 31.

 

Thank you.

Just booked our first ever Christmas cruise! Super excited!

 

Are we allowed to bring on a small fake Christmas tree for our cabin? It's a prelit tabletop.

 

What does Celebrity do special for the holidays?

 

Thanks!!

We brought a small fake tree that lit up for our table and a fake wreath for door and it was fine the one time we did a Christmas Cruise. They did decorate and I remember getting a small gift at turn down. Oh and there was caroling.

I love your live from reports! Welcome back. Make sure to wear your bubblewrap suite

Dinner service can be served by your butler in courses, just like you are in the dining room. I have never tried lunch this way in a suite. But, that's probably what it is referring to.

I am surprised they have public washrooms in Istanbul, but for me, they will be very useful!

 

What sort of condition are they in and how widespread are they?

Public bathrooms can vary widely from regular toilets to the foothole and squat variety. Bring toilet tissue and handy wipes jic. :)

Just changed two non Suite cabins today. I usually get an S2 when booking a Suite Guarantee. The OP is quite lucky to get any S1 at a guarantee price.

There are no S2s left, but lots of S1s, CS, and RS even a PH. ;)

Went about 18 months ago to a GTY suite. Was told I could not change except after boarding. Was told that Celebrity considered all same class cabin the same thus no benefit from changing.

 

I HAVE successfully change a GTY cabin with my TA when reserved that way. Hmmmm.

Interesting. I wonder if this is only a suite thing. Though, I have successfully changed suite cabins on a guarantee before.

We have booked Guarantees before. Waited for cabin assignments and then changed within class to better situated cabins when available. It's always been successful.

Today we were assigned an S1 on our upcoming cruise and they won't let us change. There are plenty of S1s available. My husband called twice not believing the first person. The second person told him no.

Has something within policy changed? Has anyone successfully changed their assigned cabin within class lately? I am planning on calling them tomorrow once I've thought about it a bit. I don't like to call angry.

Come join us in the October 12th rollcall. Celebrity has not contacted many of us. But the website is changed now.

They've changed them all on the website now. September cruises on Connie look like they are going to Crete. Mine on October 12th is going to Mykonos.

My Oct 12th Connie calendar has the two days in Istanbul to start, but then gives an alternate as Mykonos on the third day which is supposed to be at sea. Hmmmm.

I saw a video on bbc yesterday of a ferry full of refugees from kos docking and emptying in Piraeus. It is a valid question

What's the date? Let's see what's available for suites.

Yes

You may loose all your promotions depending on what is included in the new price.

Agree with Mr. Click. We had the same happen with an overnight in Venice

So I've been trying to look up a cruise today and it keeps telling me my search returned no results. I've been very general about the searches. Even if I just try to go to the second page of the all cruises page I get the same message. I'm using Mozilla but also tried Explorer and got the same result.

Anyone else? or just me?

We saw people turned away on a nonformal night in tshirts shorts and flip flops. They looked like they just came from the pool

Perhaps someone can answer better than I, but at our table we had chicken and waffles, eggs benedict, and a reuben sandwich. There was dessert of fruit trifle and banana splits. There were other options and appetizers but I can't remember.

No, they did away with the brunch about a year ago or so.

I had it last week on the Summit. It's not the buffet they used to have but it was a menu, sit down brunch.

There is one day they have brunch in place of breakfast and lunch. It's sit down served. Enjoyed the chicken and waffles.

Good news for you trivia hounds! Also onboard and there were at least two a day plus some sort of other mind game scattergories, name that tune, etc...

Once assigned you can move within the category you are assigned to.
