I guess I knew that, my husband’s camera case is a dead giveaway. I guess I want to feel comfortable that I would not get “stares” everywhere I go.

My husband and I will be in Italy (Rome, Venice, etc.) in April and May and am wondering if a medium orange windbreaker would be ok or will I stick out like a sore thumb? It is new and very attractive, but I don’t want to scream “tourist”. I appreciate any opinions.

If I am embarking in Rome, does my online check in begin at approx. 12:01AM Rome time on the date check in opens?

Good news! They must have fixed the website. I was just able to book entry using my required dates and all screens including the one with the QR code displayed the correct dates. Thanks all.

VMax1700, it must be that cruisemom42 and I are in the US and you are located in Europe. I can’t understand why this would happen, makes no sense, but I cannot think of another explanation.

Thank you. We did use the English language option on their website to order the tickets but when we needed to cancel, only the screen in Italian displayed. The good news is that the cancellation went through.

Thanks for trying. Has to be geographical since the only person who tried it and is not having this problem is VMax1700 who is located in Ireland. Next week (I am taking a break), I will try inputting the actual date I want to enter and ignore the date on the second screen. Hopefully, it will display a QR code with the original date I input as it did when I placed the order yesterday.

We used Safari, Chrome, DuckDuckGo, and VPN into Italy and Sweden.

Unfortunately, the VPN suggestion didn’t work. I just checked and it still shows the prior day. We even tried our pc in addition to our iPad and android tablet, getting the same result. I made a reservation yesterday inputting the day after we plan on entering Venice, and it displayed the date prior (the correct date). Upon completing our purchase, the order displaying the QR code reverted to the date on the original screen ( a day too late). Fortunately we were able to cancel the order. The screen was displayed in Italian and my husband used google translate to make the transaction. Since I have some time, I will try again at a later date inputting our required date. I appreciate everyone’s help. This process has certainly been very confusing and frustrating.

VMax1700, I wonder if the problem is that you are in Ireland and I am in the US. I don’t understand why this should make a difference because it is now the 23 of Jan. in both locations and the date inputted is the day of our future visit and not today’s date.

Just tried it on chrome and it pushes it back a day also.

Very strange, on my tablet (ipad) and my husband’s tablet (android), it pushes the date back a day.

I just entered April 26 and the next screen displayed date of visit: April 25.

We will be in Venice for 2 separate days, so fee applies to us 2x. My problem is when I input either date, the next screen displays the previous day. When I input the first day (April 25) subject to the fee, just to double check (will not be there on that date), the next screen displays date of visit is April 24, which is not a date subject to the fee and asks for travelers info. I am so confused and unfortunately there is not a contact email on this site.

I also considered the time difference but it didn’t make sense to me either. I will check in a few days to see if it is corrected. Thank you.

I appreciate your response. I am aware it is only pertains to certain days and unfortunately, my time in Venice falls on those days. My concern is that when I input the days that I will be in Venice, and go to the next screen it changes the date to the day before which is actually not a date that needs registration. Very strange. Wonder if there is a glitch.

The Venice access fee went into effect last week. When I went into their website (cda.ve.it) and input my date of entry on the calendar, it advanced to the next screen where the date displayed was the day prior to the one I requested. The fee was scheduled to begin on April 25 and as a test I inputted this date and on the next screen the 24th was displayed where no registration or fee is required. Has anyone tried using the site yet?

We didn’t have to complain, his voice was loud and was heard by diners and staff alike. To their credit, the staff in the restaurant tried to resolve the situation but he was too far gone. They did remove him, otherwise we definitely would have left. The restaurant was not a specialty restaurant, so no refund to be had.

Years ago, my husband and I were on a Royal Caribbean cruise on Anthem of the Seas having dinner at one of their restaurants and a man sitting at the next table was stone cold drunk. He was verbally abusive to his girl friend as well as the waiters. He tried to engage us in his rants which we uncomfortably ignored. When it became obvious the situation couldn’t be controlled and we were ready to leave without finishing our dinner, he was escorted out of the restaurant by the maitre’d and staff. Thankfully we did not see him for the duration of the cruise.

On my cruise, the sale on shore excursions during Thanksgiving and Cyber Monday was nowhere near 50%. I think it depends on how well a particular excursion is selling on a given cruise. There were better discounts for upgrading the beverage and wifi packages.

Yes you can, you have to cancel the existing reservation and rebook at the lower price. Just confirm there are still spots available and rebook immediately or you could lose your spot. A “flash sale” can happen at any time. I booked excursions during a “flash sale” at the end of August and the price has not come close since, including the “Black Friday” sale.

You are correct LB-NJ, I was giving Celebrity too much credit.

I thought the current policy was cancellation allowed 48 hours before shore excursion takes place and new policy is cancellation is allowed 48 hours before arrival at port. I think this only affects cruises that stay overnight in a port.
