We-R-Off

Thanks

It all turned out well. We didn’t get concierge sadly but we got a midship veranda for a slight extra. We are more than happy.

Our original stateroom is still showing on the app. How long before are we supposed to be notified if they have moved us up?

Lesson learned. I am an optimist & we will make the best of whatever happens.

They had a problem charging the credit card so it depends on whether they were successful. TBH whatever happens we will go with the flow

Our original stateroom is still showing 🤞 how long does it normally take if it’s going through ?

I feel a bit like Eve in the garden of Eden being tempted by the snake !!!! They noted our new credit card detail & they said they will let me know. it seems they had difficulty with our credit card so I am not sure if it has been processed. I’m now hoping that it didn’t go through. Celebrity said that they will let me know by email. I’m not really sure if that means it’s locked in or not. Does that mean I could still back out ???? It is what it is & a lesson learned.

We booked late for this cruise within the 90 day period. We booked an OV which was the best available stateroom. Our bid to Move up to Concierge on 7 day cruise in the Norwegian Fjords at the end of the month on Silhouette was accepted. We are just worried that C2 Concierge could be on a high deck or less desirable position than our OV midship. We have cruised a few times with Concierge class which we booked from the start & it definitely would be great to have a balcony through the fjords but I'm a bit worried about gambling our position. Is there any chance of knowing which staterooms are available before we proceed?

On a 7 day cruise how many formal nights should we expect?

We have booked the Infinity last minute & have been offered O1 category of OV. What is the difference between O1 & 02.

I have selected wifi for just myself on upcoming cruise. I have not paid, but my name is faded & it's allowing me to chose my husband only. It's showing that it is reserved & it says on my name "limited to once per cruise" . If I select my husband it goes to payment. I'm really puzzled if I have wifi reserved or not. We can manage with one device & don't want to purchase for two. I noticed that it is advised that Captains Club are entitled to discount & precruise purchases of wife & beverage packages, is this in addition to the sale price offered?

Thanks. I’m definitely not going to be one of them. Our flights are a bit complicated to change but I definitely know that we won’t make it. I have the choice of any evening flight or next day. I know I don’t want that kind of stress.

Definitely in the process of changing flight, even to the day after if necessary.

I'm aware of the problem & taking necessary steps, hopefully to change the flight. If not hopefully the airline will get us on a later flight.

Thanks. If the ship arrives at 5, is there not an earlier time? I was booked on a cruise finishing a day earlier, but we booked an extra day in Amsterdam. Unfortunately we have an early flight & have to get to Amsterdam airport. Our flight is 10. I know it is not recommended such an earlier flight but we originally planned to arrive the day before. I'm not sure if I can change our flights.

According to the itinerary ETA in Rotterdam is 5 am. What is the earliest that we can disembark? I presume if we do it independently this could be quicker but I'm not sure we'd manage that. We have Captains Club but only Select Member. I've put a bid to upgrade to Concierge, but I doubt we'll get it.

I was wondering if this a port call that we can find tours on arrival in Bergen. I understand there is a HOHO too. I would appreciate any recommendations of companies offering tours that we can book pre-cruise. Thanks

All the ships early tours went to this other port. The later tenders were to Fira.

I did notice that the tenders that were used on our cruise were operated by the Santorini authorities & not the ships lifeboat tenders. I actually went back on an afternoon tender without queuing for a little stroll around the old port & to see the extent of the queues to go up. That’s when we saw that there were local vendors selling tours by boat to Oia, transport to Fira & cable car return. Our tender did not take us to Fira port, it was another port where our buses waited for us to take us to Oia. Our trip was the first that left the ship & we were there at 8:45. The shops were just opening & our tender was the first of the day. We had 90 minutes in Oia before transport to Fira.

Quite honestly once you’ve walked around a little, if it’s crowed it’s best not to hang around. Most of the shops are much like each other. When we got to Fira we made our way straight to the cable car. We didn’t wait even a minute. We got on straight away. We enjoyed a little stroll around Fira old port before a short wait for our tender.

I’d definitely reconsider. According to the schedule your one of 5 ships. I suppose you could always walk down slowly. By mid afternoon it could be less crowded. What time is sail away?

Glad that it worked out well for you. Sounds like a nightmare. When we were in Mykonos there were 5 ships in port, two of which were very big ships.it was horrendous but thankfully the queues were only for the water taxis which were frequent.

That’s what I thought. They do from Celebrity to RCCL. I was hoping that maybe things had changed.

We have OBC for our upcoming cruise. Can we book tours using this OBC pre-cruise? I don't want to pay extra knowing that we have a nice OBC.

We recently booked a cruise on the Millennium & the only staterooms available were the V2 GTY veranda. I presume allocation is only after final payment, but how much before sailing will we know our stateroom number? Does our Captains Club status influence the stateroom that will be selected for us? I know that our Captains Club points are transferrable to RCCL Crown & Anchor, but does Celebrity still not accredit the Crown & Anchor to the Captains Club?
