Jim_Iain - B2B Sydney - Honolulu - Vancouver
haynesra replied to Jim_Iain's topic in Celebrity Cruises
One thing I really like about Celebrity is the Beyond the Podium series. Seeing your dailies posted for Sea days they had multiple presentations each day. Here's hoping that the Edge has as many as Solstice have had on your cruise. -
LIVE Norwaylady escape the winter on Equinox B2B 23.03-11.04.24
haynesra replied to Norwaylady's topic in Celebrity Cruises
I have been a regular NCL cruiser before switching to Celebrity. One of my favorites is the Star. We did an Alaska cruise on her about 14 years ago. I think you will like the ship - food and service maybe not as good as Celebrity. Looking forward to your future reports!! -

Wow just on this morning and in 6 hrs your report already at 3 pages! We are arriving in HNL on April 28th and leave on Edge to Vancouver on May 1st. Like the Solstice a lot, but could not make the dates for its voyage to Vancouver. -
Disembarking at Rotterdam 7:00 am, 11:00am flight from Schiphol?
haynesra replied to Mark_K's topic in Celebrity Cruises
Going back to original question, last May we left Celebrity Apex about 7:20 (Walk Off) to train station, train to AMS, went thru security and was at terminal around 11:15. So it is doable but may be tight depending on what time you actual get off the ship and security line at AMS. Agree with Jim and GVM's discussion on credit card usage. Another issue I did like was the wide acceptance of GPay on my Android phone just about everywhere (we didn't make it to a grocery store). Used the phone app for transit in Amsterdam. Last thing - really really loved Amsterdam. Such a great place and met a lot of great people at the restaurants! BTW, in my opinion, Netherlands and Amsterdam has the best mass transit system. -
infinite veranda, does anyone like these things?
haynesra replied to sunsetme's topic in Celebrity Cruises
I like them as well. To me it serves the same purpose as a balcony but also gives "more living" space in the room. But as you say, overwhelming majority on CC has been negative feedback 😁 -
Upgrading to Premium Wifi Question on 1 device package
haynesra replied to haynesra's topic in Celebrity Cruises
Thanks for the info!! -
On my cruise planner, I have two options to upgrade wifi. Premium 2 device package at $27.99 per guest per day and Premium 1 device package at $7.99 per guest per day. With 2 guest in room, on the 1 device package does mean that for $15.98 per day we get 1 device per at premium wifi for one of us and the other guest gets basic wifi? Or both guests get 1 device each at premium wifi?

Hopefully you have a great cruise. I see you are going to Cayman Islands. I have wanted to go there for a while now. Zero for 2 in attempts. Last attempt was in December (16th thru 23rd) last month on NCL. We had very rough waters (Night of 16th we went thru 60 to 70 mph winds and 15 to 20ft waves) for the entire trip almost. Could not tender in Cayman unfortunately. But as always, make the best of it since it is a cruise after all!!! Richard

Such Negativity-Anything Positive to Say?
haynesra replied to Jamietravelstheworld's topic in Celebrity Cruises
Just got back from NCL Escape cruise right before Christmas and we did the Apex back in May. While food quality has definitely dropped on these two lines (and most others as well), Celebrity still better than most in my opinion. On a positive note, to us nothing beats Celebrity's Martini Bar!!! -
And Just Like That.....All Checked In!!!!
haynesra replied to slavetoabunny's topic in Norwegian Cruise Line
Yes checked in for the Escape 16th cruise also. Printed out luggage tags - now to countdown the days. We live about 45 minutes from the port also. -
Thanks for posting.
-
Following along, looking forward to your review. We hop onboard the Escape on the 16th! Countdown on.

Excellent review as usual and of course the pictures. We would love to do the Great Lakes cruise but after sailing on a Viking River cruise years ago (we were bored while on-board), not sure Ponant is for us (still debating). By your review and pictures, food on Ponant looks to be major upgrade over Viking. So it is a maybe!

Thanks Jim for posting daily programs. Actually more to offer than I was anticipating.
-
Jim thanks for posting menus. Question do they have a daily schedule for onboard you could post?
