Is the early show in the theater on the Constellation at 7PM? Approximately how long are the shows?

We are docking in Ravenna at 6AM and will be the only ship docking that day. If we are one of the first groups to disembark (we do no want to carry our luggage from our room), is 8AM a realistic time to be picked up by our driver?

If we have a promotion with an OBC, and a new promotion offers us a better price with less OBC, do we have to cancel and rebook to take advantage of the new offer?

Thank you.

They seem to be having real issues with the shore excursions pricing. It is very frustrating and time consuming. Good luck.

Like you, I was very unhappy with the response of the shore excursion dept. Since I am an elite member, I called the Captain’s Club/Loyalty Club dept. this morning and the gentleman who answered was very helpful. Since this is your 1st Celebrity cruise, I am not sure if they can be of any help, but you can give it a try.

You are welcome. Let me know when they respond and I will do the same.

I have been having the same problem with booking shore excursions on my Celebrity cruise. In many instances, the price displayed increases when you click on “reserve”. On the suggestion of customer service, I sent an email to the shore excursion dept. yesterday, with a “screen shot” of the lower price and am waiting for a reply, I wonder how many people are paying higher prices and not aware of it.

We will be tendering into Portofino on a Celebrity cruise on April 25, 2024 (Liberation Day). I see conflicting information on whether shops and restaurants in town will be open or closed on that day. I would appreciate any information or opinions.

My cruise to the Mediterranean is not until next April and I have been looking at Celebrity shore excursions which are ultra expensive to begin with, and noticed today the discounts for booking early have been reduced from 15% to 5%. In my opinion, it certainly not worth it. I have always booked with Celebrity because it was easy, but I feel it is now time to look seriously at private excursions. What next?

I guess I have read too many horror stories. Thank you, you have reassured me.

Thank you for your input. My concern is that the refurbishment won’t be finished and Celebrity will cancel or modify the cruise, or that work ( and noise) will still be going on during our cruise. The only encouraging thing is that if the article is correct, it does not appear that extensive renovations will be taking place and hopefully all will go as scheduled.

We have booked a Constellation cruise in Europe departing Rome on April 23rd. It appears that a refurbishment will take place on the cruise before ours that will end in Barcelona on April 6th. According to a cruisecritic article, it appears the work being done includes all new carpeting, updated cruise quarters, new jacuzzis in suites and replacement of some galley equipment. I am now wondering if booking this cruise was a mistake. I would appreciate any input.
