Cool Cruiser

Cool Cruiser (2/15)

  1. When did OBC supposedly stop ? Last month I booked three 2025 cruises direct with a UK Celebrity agent, Millenium (11 nights), Ascent (11 nights), Silhouette (12 nights) all in standard verandas and got $200 OBC for each cruise.
  2. Got our notification for September in the Med, reduced some port visits by just 30 mins.
  3. I don't book suites and have a dedicated cruise planner that I always book with and have done for over 10 years (the same one). I have their email address and direct dial phone number they are based in Weybridge along with the rest of the UK planners.
  4. and maybe Valencia, Cadiz and Casablanca, 100's of years of history
  5. For years I could not see why so many Brits loved going to the Canary Islands then did a cruise there and could see why. We don't sunbathe at all and don't like beach holidays but there is so much else to see and do on the Islands especially the geology of the places. Cruises from Southampton usually go to Madeira and Lisbon but I believe the Barcelona cruises are shorter and go to Casablanca and maybe Cadiz, definitely worth considering.
  6. Just take a photocopy of your passport or photo on your phone, they can easily be checked as valid if there's an issue. If an actual passport is required Celebrity will make that clear for the rare ports where it is definitely required.
  7. This is exactly what happened to us in March this year. As well as the new sea pass cards which you will need to get back on board so take them with you, you will get a "magic" card that allows to use a fast channel to board whenever you do return bypassing the others checking in.
  8. THat very much depends on where you are, humidy and angle of the sun, sorry but the rooms can become very suffocating, not always but dont give misleading advice, only give the fact that it didn't for you.
  9. Sadly no. It's no longer on the always available list. It wasn't available last night and not on the menu tonight. It's a case of get it while you can. You could always try asking off menu of course.
  10. We are currently on Silhouette and left just before you.
  11. We are also on this cruise, so looking back towards you in Ryde and then later towards the south of the Island.
  12. At Rome airport, after baggage claim head towards exit, Celebrity Reps and crew will be waiting to check you off their list, (usually to the left as you exit baggage claim). They will take your suitcases and load into cages for transfer to the ship. The transfer will wait for other flights or until they have a full coach load you will then follow the rep for a walk to the waiting coaches. Keep all your travel documents etc with you as you wont see your suitcases again until onboard. PS. It will probably be extremely busy as many cruise ships are often doing the same thing, but the reps are fairly obvious.
  13. Menu was always accurate when I was on board, although you do probably have to wait until on board when menus for the cruise are loaded, but they always follow a set pattern. Were always able to check next nights menu while dining.
  14. Cabanas on Reflection are nowhere near the pool, the description quoted also mentions cozy evenings !
  15. There are two cards available, the train one includes the hiking trails, it's fairly cheap and well worth it. https://www.parconazionale5terre.it/Ecinque-terre-card.php
