We are renting a car and driving to Peggy's Cove. Booked through Costco and are paying $168. Not sure if we will visit the cemetery first, so maybe bus tours will have left by then. We are the only ship in port!!
That's why I use my Visa to pay for our cruises because of the insurance. If we took out a policy, then I would buy extra AARP gift cards to pay for the cruise.
Sailed on her in 2018, Alaska. We really like the covered promenade deck and enjoyed our ocean view room. Thinking she was going to go out of service at some point we booked the Canda/New England trip for August 2024. Can't wait.
We were on Celebrity's Apex last year and there was this couple who had a dog in a rolling dog carrier that we saw on several decks. My husband and I had the "I can't believe they brought a dog" conversation.
We were seated in the MDR and a couple was seated next to us. He signaled to us that they were deaf. It was the couple with the dog and it was with them in its little carrier.
Maybe the dog was their ears if needed. So, I try not to judge.
These masks are not good. There is a reason that the dive/snorkel shops don't rent them out in Hawaii. Spend $ money to get a good fitting mask for your face shape. When you put on the mask, make sure there is NO hair under any part of the mask. Have fun. We saw much in the Galapagos.
I looked into Gros Morne Park, but most tours give you about 1 hour there and it takes at least 5 hours R/T from the dock. We are doing a ship tour to get out of town.
We have sailed HAL Volendam and Celebrity Millennium to Alaska. I hear that either of these has better food than Princess according to posters here on CC.
I like both HAL and Celebrity for different reasons. We always book an ocean view and cruise only rate. We drink very little alcohol but enjoy our latte in the morning. Apex has been the biggest ship for us and I would sail on her again. Up next for us is the Volendam to Canada 2024.
I believe they do. We are on her in 2026. During the booking I asked for a set time of early.
When u book, your TA or Celebrity agent will usually ask.
Yes, noise levels should drop. I would think the casino area would be quieter. I was under the shops on the Apex and didn't hear a thing. We crash early.
Our neighbors really like Oceania. Small ship feeling without the stuffy crowd as he says. Good food. Only the smaller ships can start or leave from Montreal because of the bridge on the river. Happy planning.
I always book ocean view rooms. On the Volendam previously we went with 2607 mid ship. I have always had a cabin across from us. Occasionally we could hear folks coming and going. I would choose 2587.
