LIVE(ish) Xpedition - Quito and Galapagos November 11, 2023
Barwick Cruiser replied to prmssk's topic in Celebrity Cruises
I’m very excited to follow along! DH and I are hoping to do this trip as well as a side trip to Machu Picchu. I’m looking more for marine life however I’m sure you’ll see plenty of those along with all the birds! We’d prob do Expedition as well primarily to save a few $$$$ Hope you have a smooth flight and embarkation…can’t wait to read more! 🛳️ 🐦 🐬 🐠 🐢 Cathy -
When do we apply for Nexus renewal?
Barwick Cruiser replied to Barwick Cruiser's topic in Canadian Cruisers
You see scams on the news on a daily basis, I’m constantly amazed how many people don’t do their due diligence before forking over hard earned money…cringe every time I see Pat Foran come on with another poor victim. If you recognize that name you’ll be watching the same news channel as me 🤦🏼♀️🤣 -
Happy upcoming 10th anniversary! As Penguins stated they’ll do a cake for you but unless you’re in a suite (which you stated you’re not) don’t expect decorations or anything. We’ve been onboard previously for special birthdays, anniversaries or whatever and the cake is pretty much it. And beware, oftentimes you’ll get the cake on a different day than you entered in your documents lol. We’ve always just thought of it as “it’s the thought that counts”. Our Baltics cruise coming up in May we’ll be celebrating our 40th…we’ve reserved a speciality dining venue for dinner that night but I’m not holding my breath for a cake on that specific date. We never book suites so haven’t receive the streamers etc that others enjoyed from their butlers and suite team members. If my cabin is clean when I return from dinner and there’s chocolates on the pillows I’ll be happy! Enjoy your B2B, I’m sure you’ll have a wonderful holiday!

When do we apply for Nexus renewal?
Barwick Cruiser replied to Barwick Cruiser's topic in Canadian Cruisers
We don’t travel until January so still time, and yes, we can use the expired cards for now but hopefully the new cards arrive for all of us soon! -

@MamatoJack just curious if you’ve received your new cards yet? We received notification of renewal around the same time as you and still no cards… Cathy -
Hope you enjoy a wonderful cruise and thanks for taking us along! 🛳️🥂

Upgrade to Premium from Classic Drink Pkg -- SCORE!!!
Barwick Cruiser replied to LadyBerard's topic in Celebrity Cruises
Be sure to keep checking. Yesterday morning my cruise planner was showing a generous 5% off 🙄 but checked again later in the afternoon and it was 53% off! I quickly booked! Good luck! -
Sorry that you’ll be missing Kotor but agree that safety should always be a determining factor. Must say, really wish they’d come up with more appropriate language in their tender letters…telling a select group of passengers that they are “valued” and thus don’t need tickets really is demeaning to the remaining passengers who apparently aren’t “valued”. Couldn’t they just use the phrasing “as a suite passenger” (or elite, elite plus, whatever)? Anyway, hope the weather and seas calm down for you and no further ports are missed! Thank you also for continuing to keep us all entertained, such a pleasure to follow!

Thanks for posting this, so much great information. I’m eager to do this itinerary it’s just a matter of deciding which ship to do it on. Are you given life vests for the snorkeling? The advanced snorkeling excursion, is it advanced because of rough water or what specifically? If you went snorkeling was there a lot of marine life to see?

When do we apply for Nexus renewal?
Barwick Cruiser replied to Barwick Cruiser's topic in Canadian Cruisers
Too funny, we renewed in June as well and just this week received notice that we’d been approved. Also waiting for the new cards to arrive in the mail! My sister applied earlier in the year, new application, and was told could be up to 18 months to hear anything. Hopefully it’s sooner rather than later. -
What are the bugs like mid-May? We’ve done Alaska twice in September, very little rain (just lucky? 🤷♀️), no bugs, few kids but of course little snow on the mountains. Wanting to try again earlier in the season to see the same scenery with a topping of white but concerned about having to take bug spray and/or wear head nets.

Air Canada new size measuring device for carry on luggage
Barwick Cruiser replied to kellk's topic in Canadian Cruisers
Honestly, just limit passengers to what they’re allowed and there’d be no need to check carryons. It’s not just the larger than allowed carryons it’s all the extra personal items that people carry on…shopping bags bursting with stuff, along with a purse and backpack and garment bag…whatever happened to ONE carryon for the overhead and ONE personal item? Start measuring and counting at the gate and in no time word would spread on social media and problem solved! No extra charge for those who follow the rules and limitations and planes load quickly and efficiently. Ok, rant over 🤦🏼♀️🤫 -
Live from Solstice 10/1/23 Transpacific
Barwick Cruiser replied to tigervixxxen's topic in Celebrity Cruises
Just a suggestion however since they make the turkey club to order ask the staff when you’re ordering for some mozzarella to be added to your sandwich. They’re very accommodating and it’ll save you taking a salad apart for ingredients. -
Liveish trip report - Celebrity Silhouette - 11.10.23
Barwick Cruiser replied to rwright261's topic in Celebrity Cruises
Looking forward to more of your posts. Silhouette is my favourite S class ship, booked in May ‘24 for the Baltics. Hope you and DH enjoy a wonderful holiday and congrats on your 15th! What a great way to celebrate 🥂 -
Another Classic drinks package question - mocktails
Barwick Cruiser replied to rwright261's topic in Celebrity Cruises
They are included, up to the $ limit of the package. That said, smoothies are not included unless you have Premium or the Zero packages. -
Yeah, probably.

Curious, what is Select Dining Plus? We’ve only seen Fixed or Select..this Plus they’re advertising is new, or just to me? 🤷♀️

Barwick Cruiser replied to rwright261's topic in Celebrity Cruises
I’ll be following as well! We’re on the Silhouette in May for our 40th! Congratulations on your 15th…seems so long ago now for us 😂. Your itinerary sounds really nice and I’m sure you’ll get a few lovely relaxing days between the touring. Thanks for posting!
