They have a FB group that’s very active.

The flight I currently have booked is for 11:50 the next morning and I have an airport hotel booked. I’m considering changing the flight to disembarkation day at 11:50 which is a direct flight or I could catch a 2 pm flight and change planes in SFO which would get me home 8 hours later than the 11:50 flight. Decisions decisions.

Any suggestions on the earliest flight I should book after my cruise from SYD for an international flight? Thanks

I have a B2B2B booked for February that was booked 2 years ago. With the increase in Celebrity prices along with the extra for solo travelers I won’t be booking with them again unless I find a good deal. At those prices I would be better off cruising the luxury lines.

Makes perfect sense if you’re paying the same amount for a cabin as two people. The new solo cabins don’t get double points. Single Travelers Guest travelling as a single traveler in a stateroom will earn double the amount of Club Points, based on stateroom category and number of nights sailed. This applies to all sailings on or after July 1, 2014, and to all Captain's Club members including Preview members. Single travelers receive one set of offers per sailing. However, any bonus points that a single traveler qualifies for will not also be doubled. For example, a single traveler that qualifies for a double points promotion will receive an extra set of Club Points for being a single traveler and an extra set of Club points for booking a qualifying sailing for a total of 3x Club Points. https://www.celebritycruises.com/captains-club/enroll#Terms

My daughter and I took the grandkids on RCL this summer. We had a letter notarized and signed by their father giving permission for the kids to travel. They did ask for the letter. I guess I should mention that the children carry their father’s last name but although being married for 20 years my daughter carries her maiden name. I don’t know if that matters or not because they didn’t ask about marital status.

Who is the 3rd party company you are researching?

Pre Covid I was able to check in before my roommate who was stuck in traffic. This was in Florida.

I'm not sure. She stayed on the same ship. Maybe a Celebrity ship?

I remember the story it was pre Covid. I wonder what happened to her.

Thank you for answering. How many were in your group? We overnight in Hobart. I'm going to make contact with the tour operator. Thanks again for your help.

How did your tour turn out? Would you recommend it? @Mrs f.

Lol. Totally agree. I like okra but what they call Louisiana spicy gumbo I would venture to say is made by someone who has never been to Louisiana.

If they book him in aqua he can eat with the family in aqua. As far as I know he can sleep anywhere he wants as far as in whose cabin.

Does Celebrity ships arrive at Port of Airlie or Shute Harbor?

Are you booking from the US or another country?

Glad you made it to Miami. I’m very interested in your comparison of the retreat and the YC. I’m a solo cruiser and I spent 2 weeks in the YC on Seashore in September but even though I’m elite plus on Celebrity I’ve never felt the need to book a suite because my balcony was great.

I enjoyed the videos. Thank you.

I was on the MSC Seashore for 14 days in September. I live in Houston. I will say there are some differences. The unisex restrooms for one thing. I was in there yacht club but I was all over the ship. My butler was useless but I must admit I’m not sure what his job was. I’m not the person that needs to be escorted anywhere. The YC lounge was nice but the bartender wasn’t that good. Entertainment on the ship was great. The clientele is very international but so is Houston. Everything considered if they come to Galveston I would cruise with them again.

Do you know What if anything is going on at the old Barbers Cut terminal? NCL was there for a while.

I haven’t cruised NCL since 2019 but I’m a solo cruiser and I always grab 2 drinks and nobody has ever said anything. I guess I should say that they are both for me so I won’t need to get up as often and lose my space.

I tried asking a NCL rep but was told she only had the information I had that was on the website. So, I’m asking here. I’m thinking of booking a 15 night cruise and the free at sea is included. I would need streaming internet. can the free at sea internet be upgraded or do I pay the full daily rate? The website says 13 or more days streaming internet comes with a discount. How much is the discount? How much would 15 nights of internet cost?

I asked the same question last year for some friends who sailed on the Apex. They were in a suite, not sure which one, but had a connecting cabin for their elderly father. They were able to get all the retreat privileges for the father. I don’t know how much but they did pay extra. They did have to book using one credit card and some other stipulations.

I did pre Covid. I was supposed to board in Civitavecchia but boarded in Athens for a B2B including transatlantic due to the funeral of family. I had to clean it with Celebrity and since it was immediate family the insurance covered airfare etc.
