We were on this cruise.  Had a great time even though my husband and I got sick after we got home.  He tested positive and I"m negative but have symptoms.

Still glad we went on the cruise.  We needed to get away and relax which we did.  Just glad we didn't get sick on the cruise.  We will take another cruise this year as well.

It took me hours to get all the information in to the medallion software.  It kept on erasing stuff I had already put in.  Haven't checked today if data is still there.

Hi

Does anyone know what kind of fitness classes Celebrity has.  I'm usually on Princess where there is Zumba every Sea Day.

Just wondering.

We were on the Golden for 30 days over a year ago from Japan to Alaska.

The crew were great, food was fine, even the buffet.

The ship was in horrible shape with leaks and odors all over. Hopefully those have been fixed.

The solarium is nice especially if you are going to the cold.

We also loved the Ruby.

Deck 10 on the Grand have the bigger balconies on both sides, half the balcony is covered the other half open.  We always try to sail on the Caribe deck.  Spent 7 weeks on the Grand on Caribe and had many hours on the balconey

I go up to the buffet when it opens and get some of their wonderful cheese and crackers to  bring to our cabin for Happy Hour.

We open a bottle of wine and sit on the balcony. No one ever says anything.  I also get fruit from the breakfast buffet to keep in our refrigerator for a late night snack.

We have never been unable to make a reservation at the specialities while onboard.  I'm surprised this is an issue.

Have done the Chef's table twice and it was incredible.

I got the email about elites being able to sign up early for Europe in 2020 but the Princess site still doesn't have them listed.

I have the general list that was posted on Cruise Critic but doesn't have details.

We were on the Golden from Singapore to Alaska last Spring.  There were leaks everywhere on the ship as well as odors, especially around Crooners.

The crew was wonderful and we still had a great time but I wouldn't sail on her again.

Does anyone know if the Grand has a pickle ball court?

I know the Royal has it but haven't been on the Grand for Five years.

Does anyone know if there is a pickle ball board court on the Grand. We are taking the R/T to Hawaii from San Francisco with my brother who is an avid player. When I was on the Royal last year I know they were playing.

The last time I was on the Grand was before pickle ball became so popular.

Hi

Have been enjoying your posts over the years. We are finally coming in to Singapore in March for three days before a cruise. For now we are staying at the Fairmont. Do you think that it is central enough. Love all of your food recommendations, can hardly wait.

We went with Ann about 6 years ago. Long canoe ride but it was wonderful and she has a wonderful story to tell on the way. It was muddy getting in and out of the canoes and you had to go up a hill, could be a little slippery. It was a fabulous tour, one of the best I've taken.

Lived there for over 30 years. Besides the tech and children's discovery and the Tech it's just not worth it.

There are wonderful hiking trails ringing the valley but you can find them in San Mateo. There are some cute towns like Los Gatos and Saratoga but remember the traffic.

Now if you are leaving from the San Jose Airport that's another story.

San Francisco is the place to be.

We are on the Singapore to Vacouver in April on the Golden. It sounds like it could be a great cruise. We will see what happens with North Korea.

Rio during Carnival is amazing but everything is really crowded. I went to the Sambadome to watch the incredible parades. Paid a great amount thru Princess but it was worth it. They gave us seat cushions and t shirts.

We did a transatlantic on her last fall and had a great time. The only thing I notices was the A/C wasn't great in the Piaza.

We have done the Tahiti cruise and many other hot weather cruises. We noticed lately that the majority don't wear tuxes or formal gowns.

Black pants and a nice top is usually fine for women. My husband no longer brings a suit or rents a tux but wears a nice jacket and tie for formal nights. As others pointed out the ship is usually coo.

At around 4 they put out great cheeses and breads in HC

Vines has a nice cheese plate as well when you order a glass of wine.

The ships I have been on have quite a few

I agree, Patrick's was the highlight of all the tours, and we went on many other

wonderful snorkel adventures. Went helmet diving in Bora Bora as well.

Great cruise. When the ship docked we jumped on the ferry and went back to Morrea for four days. It was bliss.

Due to a change in itinerary, we lost one sea day and docked in Papeete for an extra day. In our opinion to much time was spend there.

We were with Godwin in the Baltics in 2012, and I must say he added such a positive note to our cruise. We looked forward to seeing him each evening.

He made us all feel special.

Last May Godwin Was on the Emerald when we did the Baltics. He is fabulous.

He really added a lot to our cruise.
