  1. Celebrity is no longer what it was, the Bean Counters have hit hard especially in the MDR. My last two cruises have definitely been lacking compared to say even a year ago.
  2. Like many here, a good dining experience is a huge factor in my decision for cruise vacations. To me dining should be one of the last things cut. Enjoying nice food has been a hallmark of the cruise vacations forever. Everyone knows cost have gone up due to this insane inflation so cruise lines should just raise the prices some like every other venue these days. I would think a fairly modest increase would help offset the food cost and keep cruising competitive.
  3. My brother said the same thing, stream internet was worthless and no way you could stream anything. He said you could barely even browse the net .
  4. Fantastic review and amazing to see all the whales from cabin, they are headed back. One piece of information I am looking for is, was there any information or Covid testing options given to passengers who fly home day of disembark? Were there any kiosk or something like that at the port?
  5. Like many have said, go early before sand gets stirred up. Sadly and to my big disappointment RCCL degraded the snorkeling options greatly when the did all the CoCo expansion. The area’s further out which were better and you can no longer go to. They have roped off the area you can go and in my experience (many times) the best areas were further out near rocks however there are some decent areas on the right side looking towards the water. The good news is snorkeling is still better here than Labadee.
  6. Like many if you we are facing the same issue. I just want to know how in the world a high percentage of US residents are going to get this done on a ship using Emed? I know all about Emed but seriously do you think the ships internet has the capability/bandwidth to handle the sure numbers on that last day? It seems to me that the Internet isn’t even as good on ships at higher latitudes. I feel a problem is on the way.
  7. I have hiked on my own in some Alaska ports but never Sitka. My sister and I also like to hike but Sitka might be more prone to bears?? As others have mentioned, I have thought about how to get bear spray knowing that it probably is not allowed on ships. I am sure you can buy in port but that is expensive to buy and not be able to take bake on the ship. Our ship is not in port long so may go with an excursion from somebody.
