Is there a Wal-Mart within close proximity of the cruise port in Puerto Vallarta? Is it similar to a US Wal-Mart (similar products - Wal-Mart house brands etc0? Thank you for any info. e

How doable would an 11:30am out of MSY be? Thanks .... e

Air travel is such a mess .... a cancellation with a flight going in the day before is no guarantee you can be re-booked to get to your cruise the next day .... so something to consider: If you can fly non-stop the first flight of the day on the day of the cruise ... I would consider this. You MUST book the flight with the cruise line so if something does happen, they will get you to your cruise .. life is a gamble and given today's flight problems ... this would make as much sense as anything. Oh ... only travel with carry-on luggage. e

Does anyone know if these balconies (designated spacious balconies) have bed that come down from the wall or ceiling? Thanks ... e

The vaccines and boosters were developed to combat the very early COVID infections. They did a fine job until the virus began mutating and the vaccines (and boosters) became less effective to the point we are at now that they DO NOT prevent contracting the new variants. I suspect that the new variant are not anywhere as lethal as the original strains and thus people are usually having very mild symptoms. Therefore, it seems plausible that the vaccines are not really doing anything at this point. I know many non-vaccinated people that contracted COVID recently that had symptoms similar to vaccinated people. My doctor said to not get the 4th booster but instead wait until the fall when a new vaccine should be available to combat the most recent COVID variants. I know, there will always be exceptions but in general, I feel this is the case.

If you book your flights with Flights By Celebrity ... They say if you miss the cruise they will get you to the next port. My question are .... 1. Do you have to book Celebrity airport transfers with the air for Celebrity to get you to the next port? 2. Will Celebrity cover the cost to get you to the next port (airfare & hotel rooms)? Thanks .... e

One thing to keep in mind ....... the internet works pretty good but depending where the ship is, you may have a less than ideal connection. I would get feedback from those cruisers that have actually completed an e-med test on board and get their input.

Does Celebrity require on board COVID testing for all cruisers when a cruise is over 10 days long? What is the current rule for testing on longer cruises? thanks .... e
